Fish Friday!
The striped bass (Morone saxatilis, rock dweller) is an anadromous species that swims from the ocean up river to freshwater in the spring in order to spawn. During the winter months large adults of the Chesapeake population and Albemarle Pamlico group may be found just offshore the Outer Banks where fishermen often troll for them from sport boats. Occasionally, temperature swings may push the fish in closer to the beach where big Hopkins spoons or popping plugs with bucktails are cast by anticipating surf fishermen. In addition, live crabs, big bloodworms and eels can be a tasty treat for stripers. These "rockfish" can be caught in coastal rivers and some lakes of North Carolina as well. There are currently some closed harvest areas for striped bass. Always check up to date fishing regulations on size and creel limits before heading out with your tackle!

On this day in 1902 the barkentine Olive Thurlow stranded on a bar in the Lookout bight roughly 2 miles west of the U.S. Life-Saving Station at Cape Lookout. The vessel had drug anchor from its original position. On the day prior, December 4th, the Cape Lookout Station keeper William Gaskill insisted the Thurlow be moved to a safer location due to an expected southwest gale, but the Captain did not oblige. In the early hours of December 5th one lifeless body, two severely injured sailors and four others were plucked from the raging surf by Gaskill's crew of life-savers. This is the kedge anchor from the Olive Thurlow. It is on display in front of the Cape Lookout National Seashore Visitor Center on Harkers Island. ... See MoreSee Less

On this day in 1874 W.G. Partridge was appointed as the first head keeper of the U.S. Life-Saving Station Caffey's Inlet. The station was located about 9 1/2 miles south of the Currituck Beach Light. It's neighboring stations were Poyner's Hill to the north and Paul Gamiel's Hill to the south. Surfmen would walk the beach between stations, meet halfway and turn back to their respective sites making sure there were no ships in distress within the approximately 7 mile spans. ...

On this day in 1899 shortly after sunset, the surfman on watch from the U.S. Life-Saving Station Core Bank used a Coston flare to warn a schooner that was too close to the outer sand bar. The responsibility of watching for passing ships was taken seriously by life-saving crews. Any effort to prevent disasters from happening was well worth it. ... See MoreSee Less

"In a six-week field experiment, researchers placed underwater loudspeakers in patches of dead coral in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and played audio recordings taken from healthy reefs. The goal was to see whether they could lure back the diverse communities of fish that are essential to counteracting reef degradation."

Spoiler alert: They could! ... See MoreSee Less

Scientists used loudspeakers to make dead coral reefs sound healthy. Fish flocked to them.

“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places — the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish combine to form a dazzling biological soundscape,” said Steve Simpson, a marine biology professor at the University of Exeter.
