Sunset Beach, Brunswick Co., NC (15 Oct 2009)

The University of Tennessee Ichthyology Class took a fall field trip through North Carolina to sample as many species of fish, both freshwater and saltwater, as possible. We left Knoxville mid-afternoon on October 14 and drove through the rain and 50 degree temps.  After spending a couple of hours trying to purchase waders and perfecting "The Wading Bird", we finally made it to the beach and made a few passes with the beach seine.
