Book Synopsis Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs by : Wayne Young
Download or read book Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs written by Wayne Young and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Light Tackle Kayak Trolling the Chesapeake Bay by : Alan Battista
Download or read book Light Tackle Kayak Trolling the Chesapeake Bay written by Alan Battista and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light Tackle Kayak Trolling the Chesapeake Bay: A Guide to Gear, Location and Trolling Tactics for Striped Bass is the first book devoted exclusively to this exciting sport. Advances in kayak technology have made catching trophy striped bass a reality of which many anglers are not aware. Shallow water, stealth, light tackle and huge fish make this not only the most productive but also the most exciting method of catching striped bass that I know. Throughout this book you will learn everything that you need to land the big one. The guide starts with the basics of necessary gear and finishes up with seasonal “micro” and “macro” pattern development that will give you home field advantage on your favorite body of water. Specific topography is discussed as well as which areas to target when looking at a nautical chart. Lure selection is covered in depth, and you may be surprised to learn what the really big fish like best.The tactics explained in this book help those in kayaks or any other boat pare down vast expanses of water into personally discovered hot spots. The lessons taught can be easily understood and adopted. Study them, then immediately put them to use through trial and error to yield maximum benefit. The book, while concise, is content dense. Seasonal movements of striped bass, an understanding of forage, how to set up a kayak for trolling, trolling tactics, trolling with friends and chart usage are some of the main topics Alan covers. He also throws in his personal topography maps of the Susquehanna Flats, which will be extremely popular!This book appears to be narrowly focused on the striped bass fishery of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. However, even if you've never set foot in the state of Maryland, or seen tidal waters where striped bass swim, you can still benefit from this book. It's a recipe for locating fish wherever you paddle or pedal a kayak. It applies to bass, perch and crappie fishing on reservoirs. It could even help you locate trout or walleye on the Great Lakes. Read it with an open mind with regard to the species and fisheries discussed, and adopt the methods to your local fishery.The book is packed with illustrations for the purpose of helping the reader understand under water topography, trolling routes, gear arrangement, lure and kayak selection. The many photos of HUGE FISH prove the worth of Alan's methods.This book will become a reference on your shelf that you use over and over again. For those that have fished with Alan, you know that he pulls no punches, keep no secrets and has a sincere desire to help you catch fish. He's written this book in that same spirit. He believes that helping each other will always come back to you. When we all catch big fish we create big memories, and that grows into big friendships. Look for him trolling his kayak on the bay!162 pages full of tips, locations and strategies

It expands and recasts the Lythgoes' highly regarded first edition published two decades ago. In particular, all of the more than 200 color photographs are new, and most are accompanied by line drawings that emphasize distinctive traits. The fish are arranged by class, family, and species, and succinct descriptions give detailed information about anatomy, distribution, food, and breeding habits. Most of the photographs were taken underwater, providing valuable information on how the fish swims in nature, its true colors and pattern, and whether or not it is camouflaged against its natural background. The geographical area covered in the book includes the Atlantic coastal waters of the United States and Canada north of Chesapeake Bay; the Mediterranean; and from Gibraltar north to the Arctic, including all the coasts of Europe. John Lythgoe, a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, is an expert on the appearance and color of fish underwater. The section of the book on the gobies, a group of fish that are as difficult to study as they are interesting, has been contributed by Peter J. Miller. Gillian Lythgoe is a diver, photographer, and the future and managing director of Planet Earth Pictures, whose collection covers a wide range of natural history and environmental subjects.
