If you want to harvest a meal of blue crabs, all you really need is a bait- ed string, a net and plenty of time and pa- tience. But with your own crab pot, you can make the fishing easier and catch as many as a dozen crabs in a few hours. Best of all, the pot doesn't have to be tended. Building your own crab pot is sim- ple. Constructed of wire mesh and baited with fish heads or fish remains, the trap is designed to allow an easy entrance, but a difficult escape, for the crab. For the project, you'll need a few materials from the hardware store and a copy of Sea Grant's How to Build a Crab Pot. The 14-page booklet guides you through a step-by-step method for constructing a crab pot and advises you of regulations you'll need to know. For a free copy of How to Build a Crab Pot, write Sea Grant. Ask for UNC-SG-80-03. For fishing, fun and friendly rival- ry, attend one of the state's 30 saltwater sportfishing tournaments. From Currituck to Calabash, fishing clubs, marinas and civic groups spon- sor these fishing frenzies. They last from one day to one week. And de- pending on the type of tournament, anglers may vie for croaker, flounder, mackerel or marlin. Many sportfishermen plan their vacations and weekends around these fishing contests. That's why Sea Grant publishes a brochure that lists the dates Continued on next page.
