Book excerpt: A hands-on artificial reef builder, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman explores natural and artificial fishing reefs, ruins, wrecks, and obstructions in the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac River, from Pooles Island in the Upper Bay to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and also in the upper tidal Potomac River. He discusses how, where, and what to look for from a sport fisherman's perspective, and walks readers through armchair use of modern tech websites to scout fishing hotspots. Continuing the illustrated narrative voyage begun in "Bridges Under Troubled Waters: Upper Chesapeake and Tidal Potomac Fishing Reefs" (2018), this second volume in the series with a Foreword by Lenny Rudow, expands coverage of shoreline structures, natural and artificial bottom structures, wrecks, and obstructions where striped bass, redfish, speckled trout, cobia, and other predators forage in Maryland. There's also full coverage of Virginia's Bay artificial reefs with graphic layouts plus details about nearby natural structure, wrecks and obstructions. The location and configuration of rediscovered "lost" and "bandit" artificial reefs and wrecks are disclosed along with a selection of natural features not shown on nautical charts. Also covered are ruins of lost lighthouses, compromised and failing shore protection structures, submerged fallen timber, disappearing islands, and Reef Balls at fishing reefs and oyster restoration sites. Reef descriptions are supported by a selection of pictures, sonar imaging, and computer-generated graphics to aid in visualizing specific reef structures and layouts. Designed for jump-starting the acquisition of local knowledge about light-tackle fishing structure by casual and journeyman sport fisherman, there are jewels of information inside for sportfishing veterans as well, including underwater pictures and sonar-scan images contributed by guides and sonar and side-imaging enthusiasts. A selection of color graphics used to produce the greyscale images in the book are found on the Facebook page for this series, "Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs", and featured in previews and excerpts by the author found on the FishTalk Magazine Where to Fish webpage. This is first and foremost a book for fisherman that provides practical methods to find and prospect structure that attracts sport fish, while also drawing on lessons from the author's Coast Guard service and Bay restoration and fishing experience to encourage boating and fishing safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressively building knowledge, skills, and abilities through hands-on experience under varying conditions is necessary to learn how, when, and where to fish Chesapeake Bay structure through the range of constantly changing conditions and seasonal patterns. Yet one could spend a lifetime fishing the Bay and its tributaries and uncover but a fraction of Neptune's secrets. Finding hotspots to prospect for fish remains challenging even with modern sonar technology, especially for those who don't know where to start looking. The Author uses online armchair scouting resources to jumpstart acquiring local knowledge that would otherwise take years to develop. He presents not only where to find natural and artificial reefs, wrecks, rocks, ruins, and obstructions, but also details and illustrates what is actually there and provides coordinates. In this volume, with a foreword by professional guide Captain "Walleye Pete" Dahlberg, he picks up the storyline from Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs (2020) by expanding the presentation of structure that provides marine habitat and recreational fishing hotspots in areas that weren't well covered other than by sounding data. Content is designed for new recreational fishermen looking where to begin their acquisition of local knowledge about where to fish, occasional fishermen seeking to optimize available fishing time, and veteran fishers expanding to other fishing grounds. Coverage starts with the tidal Susquehanna River and Flats, down the Upper Bay and outer Patapsco River to and including the Bay Bridge, then south to Cove Point on the West side and Pocomoke Sound on the east side, and around Cape Charles covering the north side of the Chesapeake Bay Entrance. Updated illustrated reef layouts are included for Plum Point, Dominion Reef at the Gooses, Mobjack Bay, Poquoson, York Spit, Bluefish Rock, The Cell, and Cabbage Patch Reefs. Also included are new data for Stone Rock, dozens of lighthouse ruins and icebreaker rocks Bay-wide and in the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, and yet another undocumented artificial reef in the Lower Bay. Boating and fishing safety practices are also featured. Whether new to fishing or a veteran, fishers will find clusters of hotspots to plan fishing trips around.

Book excerpt: Told by a former artificial reef manager, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman with a foreword by Lenny Rudow, this is first and foremost a book for fisherman that provides practical methods to find and prospect bottom features that attract bait, striped bass, redfish, cobia, sea bass, tautog, sheepshead, and other sportfish. It also draws on lessons from the author's Coast Guard service and Chesapeake Bay restoration and fishing experience to encourage boating and fishing safety. This first book of a multi-volume Mid-Atlantic fishing reef series covers from the Delaware Bay Entrance south to just below the Maryland-Virginia border. It provides a detailed look at wrecks, obstructions, natural formations, and Delaware's ocean artificial reefs with layout illustrations. It identifies locations of reef sites managed by the Ocean City Reef Foundation in Maryland's coastal waters, and advises how to obtain current information about ongoing reef deployments and specific locations. Designed for jump-starting the acquisition of local knowledge about light-tackle fishing structure by casual and journeyman sport fisherman, there are jewels of information inside for sportfishing veterans as well. The narrative not only shows and tells where to look for structure, but also includes graphics from hydrographic survey data and sonar images to show what is actually there to inform fishing strategies and tackle selection. Geographic coordinates are included. A selection of color graphics used to produce the greyscale images in the book are found on the Facebook page for the Author's works, "Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs", and in excerpts by the author posted on the FishTalk Magazine "Where To" webpage. A special chapter developed with a docking pilot and marine pilot discusses boating and fishing safety in relation to commercial ship and tug and barge operations. A step-by-step illustrated guide shows how to access and use the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Bathymetric Data Viewer and its links to National Ocean Service Descriptive Reports that document results of hydrographic surveys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One could spend a lifetime fishing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and still not uncover all of its secrets. Progressively building knowledge, skills, and abilities through hands-on experience under varying conditions is necessary to learn how to fish it through the range of constantly changing physical and environmental conditions. But understanding the structure itself as a starting point is a huge challenge. The Author jump starts acquisition of local knowledge about the subsurface structure by providing illustrated details that would otherwise take years of on-the-water experience to develop. This book, with a foreword by light-tackle kayak fisherman and author Alan Battista, is designed for recreational fishermen who are new to fishing the bridge and more experienced fishermen who only get to go there occasionally. There are also details that will interest Bridge fishing veterans. The details take a lot of the mystery out of what lies below the surface by peeling back the veil on where to explore this, the largest piece of fishing structure in Maryland. Different piling types, holes, and rock piles are highlighted and some ideas about how to fish it are given. An illustrated discussion of current and structure interactions goes beyond common understandings of what happens below the surface. Essential safety practices including when and when not to fish are also featured. Whether new to fishing the Bay Bridge or a veteran, the insights and tips inside will assist you in finding and fishing there for striped bass.

Book excerpt: Nonnative Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay discusses the proposed plan to offset the dramatic decline in the bay's native oysters by introducing disease-resistant reproductive Suminoe oysters from Asia. It suggests this move should be delayed until more is known about the environmental risks, even though carefully regulated cultivation of sterile Asian oysters in contained areas could help the local industry and researchers. It is also noted that even though these oysters eat the excess algae caused by pollution, it could take decades before there are enough of them to improve water quality.

Book excerpt: Rudow's Guide to Fishing the Chesapeake is the most comprehensive handbook for anglers on all of the Chesapeake's waters from main-stem bay to tributaries and tidal creeks. Detailed charts feature over 550 boating hot spots and 35 public shoreline fishing spots, plus 33 reliable public boat ramps. Specific bay sportfish and the most effective methods of catching them during each phase of the season are meticulously discussed on a fish-by-fish basis, as are both modern and traditional tackle and rigs. Never before has a fishing guide tackled each aspect of angling the Chesapeake Bay so thoroughly. Topics are as varied as casting for spring trophy rockfish on the Susquehanna Flats, jigging for seatrout at the Bay Bridge, wire-lining for flounder at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and ice fishing for perch in Port Deposit are all covered in depth. There are even sections on shoreline fishing for each area of the Chesapeake. If you want to boost your catch rate every time you fish the bay, this book will help you do it.

Book excerpt: Told by a former artificial reef manager, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman with a foreword by Lenny Rudow, this book provides a descriptive survey about wrecks and obstructions in the Chesapeake Bay and a detailed look at wrecks and obstructions including natural formations in Maryland Bay waters and the lower tidal Potomac River. The narrative not only tells where to look for structure, but also includes extensive graphics from hydrographic survey data and recreational sonar images to show what is actually there to inform fishing strategies and tackle selection. Wrecks include a Confederate "slinker" captured by Union naval forces in the lower tidal Potomac River. Also included are over ten bottom features with structure that makes them candidates as undocumented artificial reefs. A large anomaly that conforms to the dimensions of the "lost" target ship Katahdin is compared with historic data and sonar images, and the location is correlated with historic reports. This book helps recreational fishermen find unique and unpressured bottom features that attract bait, striped bass, redfish, cobia, and other predators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An epic history of piracy . . . Goodall explores the role of these legendary rebels and describes the fine line between piracy and privateering.” —WYPR The story of Chesapeake pirates and patriots begins with a land dispute and ends with the untimely death of an oyster dredger at the hands of the Maryland Oyster Navy. From the golden age of piracy to Confederate privateers and oyster pirates, the maritime communities of the Chesapeake Bay are intimately tied to a fascinating history of intrigue, plunder and illicit commerce raiding. Author Jamie L.H. Goodall introduces infamous men like Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and “Black Sam” Bellamy, as well as lesser-known local figures like Gus Price and Berkeley Muse, whose tales of piracy are legendary from the harbor of Baltimore to the shores of Cape Charles. “Rather than an unchanging monolith, Goodall creates a narrative filled with dynamic movement and exchange between the characters, setting, conflict, and resolution of her story. Goodall positioned this narrative to be successful on different levels.” —International Social Science Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a clear night, the bright lights of oil platforms sparkle in the Gulf of Mexico. Thousands of these platforms off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana play an important role in the lives of underwater species who find food, shelter, and permanent homes in the ecosystem created by these big, three-dimensional structures standing on the flat sea floor. They may also play lesser-known roles “above the waves” in the migration of birds and even insects. Tapping into years of diving experience, marine biologist Mary Wicksten looks at the inhabitants and visitors of these “vertical reefs”, explaining how life arrives on the platforms, what species settle and stay (like barnacles), and which ones visit then disappear (like silky sharks). She looks at how different life forms take up occupancy from the surface downward, and she shows how these communities vary on nearshore and deepwater platforms. While most people may never experience the undersea world of oil platforms, this book will bring a better understanding of it to any teacher, beachgoer, angler, diver, or coastal resident who ever wondered what was going on beneath those far-off lights.

Book excerpt: In developing countries, traditional fishermen are important food contributors, yet technological information and development assistance to third-world nations often focuses on agriculture and industrial fishing, without addressing the needs of independent, small-scale fishermen. This book explores technological considerations of small-scale, primitive fishing technologies, and describes innovative, relatively inexpensive methods and tools that have already been successfully applied in developing countries. It offers practical information about all aspects of small-scale fishing, including boat design and construction, fishing methods and gear, artificial reef construction and fish aggregating devices, techniques for coastal mariculture, and simple methods for processing and preserving fish once they are caught. Fisheries Technologies for Developing Countries is illustrated throughout with photographs of the devices and construction methods described in the text.
