Ancient Ritual of the Seine Beaches Now in Full Swing Along Neuse Por countless generations men have been lifting herring, shad, rock and assorted smaller fish out of Neuse River in the spring and this year gives promise of being one of the best in a long, long time. The large number of herring, “hickory shad” and scattering few roe shad that have already been Standing high and dry on a tub Am Woat holds the prizo taka from a single haul of the "Goat Land ing", last Thursday. Three extra largo roe shad. Biggest would "scare seven pounds". West says. taken persuade the veterans of the seine beaches to expect a lot more roe shad'and the kind of them all the “rock” when weather gets a little warmer. Seines are busy six days to the week from New Bern to well above Goldsboro, but the majority are located between Kinston and New Bern. Some are big-time opera tions in wide stretches of the river where perhaps a thousand dollars worth of equipment may be used to net the fish as they surge up stream to their spawning grounds. “Goat Landing” just above Oak Bridge is one of the newer seine beaches, and was not a “natural beach” as a majority are. Nature was given a helping hand by a bulldozer and a lot of sweat from many imen who built a seine beach. But it is easy to reach by car and has quickly become one of the favorite spots in the Kin ston area, both for pulling the seine and for frying or stewing the succulent deep ocean fish as they fall fresh upon the bank. Rudolph West of the Grainger Station community, who has spent many long and happy hours watch ing the nets is boss man at “Goat Landing”, owner of the net and This i« Dm "storage vat", an abandoned' skiff that holds wittr fairly wall.

He either “rents it out” to people who want to gamble on the river and their skill or he pulls the net with his own labor and sells the fish to those who come uip and have an overpowering hunger for fried or stewed fish. Since the seine season opened West cautiously brags, “Ain’t had but one waiter haul since we started, and then the lead line got wrapped around the cork line!” But most of the hauls have con tained the lowly herring and the . hickory shad1, neither of which claim the respect of the roe shad and the fighting stripped bass rock to local folks. Legend much older than white civilization along the Neuse prom ises roe shad and nock when the Dogwood is in full bloom. By that standard the happy time is near at hand and if the large run of less desirable fish is an accurate barometer the nets will soon be gin to haul in the queenly roes and Continued on page 8 The end of the haul, net on Hie shore and what is in it? A dozen or'15 herrings and hickories not a single roe .... Better luck next time and up the river for another sweep. Game fish caught in the net, such as perch and bass (large or small mouth) must be thrown back In the river.
