Production of the hormone is regulated by the hypothalamus in the brain and by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain. When the blood cortisol level falls, the hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which directs the pituitary gland to produce ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).
Bring a long board for the big waves and a short one for fun on small-wave days. The 1,020-foot Mariner of the Seas, a ship of the Royal Caribbean line, offers frequent surf cruises, departing from the Port of Los Angeles (Long Beach, Calif.) for a seven-day voyage arranged by Paradise-Bound.net.
Fish the Rocks and Jetties. Rocks and/or jetties are found in almost every inlet on the Atlantic coast. They provide the break areas in tidal currents where flounder can position themselves for ambush feeding. If you have a trolling motor, the rocks that line the jetties heading out into the ocean are an excellent place to try the Flounder Fanaticâ¢ method on a slack tide. On a slack tide the fish will hug the rocks and sit on the bottom.
