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

By Wayne Young

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.
