Bridges Under Troubled Waters: Upper Chesapeake and Tidal Potomac Fishing Reefs (Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs)

Striped bass fish haven hangouts in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay waters and tidal Potomac River are unveiled. An engaging narrative by a hands-on artificial reef builder tells how, where and what to look for at State-sponsored fish havens as well as natural and artificial reefs, wrecks and obstructions with NOAA side-scan sonar coverage. Reef details are wrapped inside an entertaining glimpse into reef construction lore, geologic changes affecting fishing conditions, rebuilding submerged islands, a dash of fishing fun, and expanding use of Reef Balls in oyster restoration. Reef descriptions supported by a selection of before and after pictures, sonar imaging, and computer-generated graphics aid in visualizing specific reef structures and layouts. Internet websites and printed materials sport fishermen can use to find additional details and side-imaging sonar images of wrecks, ruins, obstructions, and natural underwater features such as fallen timber and remnant oyster bars that attract rockfish are presented.
