Fishing
The North River is primarily the habitat for stripped bass as well as bluefish. As the tide rapidly changes both the bass and bluefish get trapped in the shallows. The most common shallows occur by the flats of the river. These flats are approximately half a mile wide and one mile long. During the spring when schools of striped bass and bluefish are most active is the best time to fish by the flats either by boat or on land.

Famous quotes containing the word fishing:
“If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.”
—Tom Brokaw (b. 1940)
“The wildness and adventure that are in fishing still recommended it to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
