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 selecting tackle. 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. 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.
