The opening of striped bass season Saturday brought out dozens of
fishing boats, many crowded with entire families, along the William
Umstead Bridge crossing Croatan Sound. The boats jockeyed for
position as anglers trolled and cast, hoping for striper strike. If
caught in North Carolina's sounds, the popular gamefish, also known
as rockfish, may be kept if it is more than 18 inches long.
