"TAR, heel^( outdoor?
S; Old-timer* on Hattcru Island ay
they never aw anything like it. And
veteran turf fl mermen who had
gathered there in numbers for the
Thanksgiving holidays could not
remember there ever being such a run of
flounder in the surf?on the Outer
Banks or anywhere else.
Every day from mid-week through
the week end, surf casterp of every size,
shape, political persuasion and degree of
expertise stood almost
shoulder-to-shoulder from Frisco north
around Cape Point to the beaches south
of Oregon inlet. Greatest concentration
of fishermen, if not flsh, was from Cape
Point north to the lighthouse, about
three miles.
It was the nearest the angling
fraternity comes to a love-in. Truck
campers with radios blaring parked at
the point all night, with the only
pretext of fishing an unattended rod in
a surf spike Many fishermen walked
down the beach from the Park Service
campground at Buxton, fished all day,
then just lay down in the lee of a
garbage can for a little sleep before
dawn. Lows in the SO's and highs in the
70's made such primitive camping
almost comfortable, if slightly gritty.
Flounder seemed to carpet the
bottom everywhere in the surf, but
most were hooked in the curl. Average
size was perhaps a pound and a half, but
there were plenty of three-pounders
mixed in and skilled fishermen had no
difficulty filling a Wring too heavy for
om man to cany, cuMng oat the
peanuts. At the aeafood market, die Med
flatfish dropped from 79 caata a pound
a few daya before to 55 by week end.
On the beach, it was difficult to five
away flah.
Still, aome fishermen were
disappointed Jumbo bhieflah, which
had blitzed the point early in the week
were conspicuous In their abaence. A
large school moving south at Kitty
Hawk 55 miles north on Tuesday
apparently went to eea, eschewing the
Hatter aa surf.
John Ochs of Buxton and George
Cornish of Hatteraa found them on the
bottom mixed with king mackerel and
false albacore in shoal water two miles
southeast of the point. From a small
boat which they ran out of Hatteraa
Inlet, they caught flsh on lures pulled
deep with planers.
Light and variable wind had the surf
as clear aa it gets, but a southwest wind
predicted for Saturday afternoon
materialized only briefly, then died. It
was the condition that almost always
puts blueflah on the beach at the tip of
Cape Point. Casters holding big rods
sporting Hopkins lures stood around
looking forlorn. The southwesterly
Anally got up heartily before dawn
Sunday, but by mid-morning
long-awaited blues still were absent.
Only the occaaional false albacore
satisfied metal casters, and precious few
of them
But mostly the crowd, and I do
crowd, was happy with benign waathtr
and a plenitude of flounder. Two kids
of ray close- acquaintance experienced
"sumpum another Ike glory," to bony
a phraie, fishing barefoot and catdtinf
their fir* turf fish fatter than they ewr
thought possible.
Back at the fish-cleaning table at the
motel, they learned the difficulties and
surgical pleasures of Meting flounder
and plastic-baggirig the thin pieces for
the freezer.
While founder dominated the holiday
on Hatteras Island, the first striped baas
of the 1973-74 season was caught on
November 24 by Nelson Undemon of
Pasadena, Maryland. He beached the
single flih north of Salvo
