Shad Fishery of Chesapeake Bay with Special Emphasis on the Fishery of Virginia

ISBN:
Category : Fisheries

Pages : 32
Book Description
A study of the American shad (Alosa sapidissima) in Chesapeake Bay was made in 1952. Catch and effort records were combined with data obtained from tagging studies conducted at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, in the James and Potomac Rivers, and at Cove Point (Maryland) to obtain population parameters for these areas. These studies were successful except for the results of tagging at the mouth of the Bay, which data could not be used because of a disproportionate tag recovery-catch ratio between the various areas of Chesapeake Bay. Total population and escapement were determined for each year in which data were available. It is recommended that the States of Maryland and Virginia establish comparable systems for the collection of catch-and-effort records on the shad so that these basic data will be available for any future study of the Chesapeake Bay fisheries.

Pages : 279
Book Description
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 Description
Potomac River hosts a diverse range of natural features from a drowned ancient river gorge at the Fall Line above the Chain Bridge through its brackish freshwater to saltwater transition to tributary estuary where it meets Chesapeake Bay. Public works and waterfront development produced bridges, seawalls, piers, and breakwaters. A rich history of maritime commerce from Colonial times left a huge legacy of subsurface ruins, wrecks, and ballast piles. These river features provide aquatic and marine structural habitat for baitfish and foraging spots for largemouth bass, walleye, catfish, snakeheads, striped bass and other gamefish. Progressively building knowledge, skills, and abilities through hands-on experience under varying conditions is necessary to learn how, when, and where to fish this structure through the range of constantly changing conditions and seasonal patterns. Yet one could spend years fishing and only uncover but a fraction of the river's secrets, especially for those who don't know what to look for or where to start looking beyond what is visible at the surface. The Author presents results of online armchair scouting and shares personal knowledge to jumpstart reader acquisition of local knowledge about hundreds of subsurface features that would otherwise take years to develop. He discusses not only where to find natural formations, rocks, ruins, wrecks, obstructions, and artificial reefs, but also details and illustrates what is actually there and provides maps and coordinates. He picks up and expands the Potomac storyline from other titles in his Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs series by tracing the development of now abandoned structure from Colonial times to understand and characterize what is out there to fish. Content is designed for new recreational fishermen beginning their acquisition of local knowledge about where to fish, occasional fishermen seeking to optimize available fishing time and expand their structure playbook, and veteran fishers expanding to other river sections. Coverage starts with the waters above Fletcher's Boathouse and then down to the river mouth between Point Lookout and Smith Point as well as Maryland and Virginia tributaries. Covered waters include Occoquan River and Bay, Mattawoman Creek, Mallows Bay, Widewater, Aquia Creek entrance, Potomac Creek, Nanjemoy Creek, Port Tobacco River, Upper Machodoc Creek entrance, Wicomico River, St. Marys River, Nomini Bay, and Northern Neck rivers. Boating and fishing safety practices are also featured. Whether new to fishing or a veteran, fishers will find clusters of hotspots to prospect along the entire river below the Fall Line.
