Fish Friday!Southern Spotted Weakfish...Also known as speckled trout, bring devoted anglers out in the fall every year. The fish can be caught off the ocean beach, near jetties, from piers, in the marsh and sound, and coastal rivers.Speckled trout can be found year round in North Carolina's coastal waters but November is typically the peak season for them as they school up this time of year. They're geographic range extends from New York to northern Mexico and they tolerate a wide range of salinity (they are euryhaline!). Speckled trout love to eat small fish, crabs, and shrimp. 📸 This trout was caught using a fly rod. Date and location unknown, courtesy NC Division of Marine Fisheries. ... See MoreSee Less

On November 6, 1908, two men were spotted clinging to a capsized canoe about 1.5 miles from the U.S. Life-Saving Station Fort Macon. The station crew responded, rescued the two men, and took them to their homes. The canoe was righted and towed to Beaufort. 📸: Canoe, named the Flapper, taken around 1921 in Onslow County. May be similar construction to the one referred to in the November 6, 1908 incident. ... See MoreSee Less
