The Fishing Industry Along The Chowan River Today As Compared With 50 Years Ago By J. U. ETHBRIDGE , l (In the Bertie News-Leader) The magnitude and importance of , the fishing industry ia litltle known or appreciated, except by a few persons who have given it some thought and attention. The advent of pound, or Dutch, nets, which were brought to the State by John Hethick about 60 years ago, completely revolutionized the large haul seine industry and vir tually superceded it. Since then, the 4H)O miles of shad gill nets in the I'amUoo, Croatan, Albemarle Sounds and their tributaries have driven them out of business. There were operated along the shores of the Chowan River 50 years, jago eight large seine fisheries. ( 'seines averaged in lengtn ftom 1,600 Ito 2,600 yards long. Some of them were taken out in two bateaus rowed i with oars and others in steam flats. They were drawn in by windlasses and some by steam drums. They were ioperated day and night. From 1878 to 1888, inclusive, there were caught at each of these fisheries from one to one and a half million heemigs each season. Dr. Capehart's and Augustus Holley's fisheries, near the mouth of the river, averaged from 50,000 to 100,000 shad each. The other fisher lies up the river from 10,000 to 28,000 j each. There were also taken a large number of rock and quite la number and variety of perch and other fish. | I In 1878, Edward Etheridge, who | lived at Coleraine, leased his fishery there, known as Lazy If ill, to Henry Saunders. About the latter part of April, 1978, Saunders landed the larg est haul of herrings there is any rec ord of in the fishing annals of the State. The writer advised him, when his seine was within 60 yards of the shore, to drive down atakes and hang his corks over them and pull the fish out with a short seine. By doing this h' would not burst his seine, and his customers would get their fish with out them being exposed to the sun so long on *he beach. This he re-1 fused to do. When he drew his seine i nearer the fish began to go out over ; the cork line, as it was full from bot- ; torn to top. Then I told him he would not land them unless he stretched his seine open, that the weight of the fish ! THE ENTERPRISE would split it. He then stretched open the seine for 160 yards and landed 1 them in sections of 25 yards or more. When he landed there was a pile of 'fish 126 yards long, nearly 8 feet deep and 16 feet wide. "He covered them | with sand to protect them from the 'sun. There was sold out of this haul 600,000 herrings to wagons and carts rom Bertie, Hertford, and Northamp ton 1 Counties at $1 per thousand. There were 100,000 or more that went out. There are a dozen people living jin Coleraine who will testify to this 'statement of facts. | In 1882 Edward E the ridge and my self operated the fishery. On the 28th |of April we caught a large haul of herrings. The seine was staked out 'and fished with a short /Seine. There were made 10 hauls that counted out 216,000. They were sold for $2 per thousand, fresh on the beach, to wag ons and carts. There were caught during the season here two and a quarter million and nearly all were sold at the fishery. Thqre were tak en by the seines on the Chowan this season near 16,000,000 herrings. These herrings were sold to the people of Bertie, Chowan, Hertford, Gates, and Northampton Counties, mostly at a low price, ranging from $1 to $3 per ! thousand. These seines .furnished a leheap food to more than 100,000 p*o- Iple. On account of their cheapness [farmers would buy from one to three | thousand per family. Shad were sold usually at 26 cents per pair. Mere is another side io the picture. There are now fished about 800 pound nets in Chowan River, and the average catch does not exceed 3,000,-; 000 herrings. There are not over! 100,000 shad caught in the river.' Herrings usually sell from $5 to $7 per thousand fresh, and more when salted. Result: Farmers only buy! one-third to half as many as they did when cheaper. Why have fish decreased in num ber? Because the pound nets in the | lower sounda catch the herring and 1 shad before they get to their natural spawning grounds. There are 3,600 I pounds. Because 400 miles of gill shad nets are tied 6-inch mesh, which catches the roe shad and lets the bucks through. Fishermen along the Chowan catch 8 to 10 buck to every roe shaft in evidence of this fact. Na ture requires both. Shad and herring come into /resh water to spawn. There is nothing for them to eat and they return to salt water as soon as they spawn. Un less they are better protected, our waters will be depleted. People who live along the Chowan River and ohce enjoyed shad have giv en up the herring to the Yankees. The fishermen in the lower sounds catch and ship them in ice to the north The benificence of Providence has been set at naught by the wisdom of fish commissioners.
