The most comprehensive how-to/where-to fishing book you'll find anywhere, covering coastal bay, inlet, inshore, and offshore angling from New York to North Carolina. Whether you fish for flounder off Shinnecock Inlet or yellowfin tuna off Oregon Inlet, Rudow's Guide will provide you with the know-how you need to boost your catch rate every time you leave the dock. The first section of the book details more than 300 specific hotspots with GPS coordinates included for many. Seasonality, probable catches, and effective tactics for each spot are included. The second section provides you with an in-depth look at each sportfish found in the Mid-Atlantic and information on when, where, and how to catch them. The third section of the book focuses on tackle and tactics, and here, you'll discover how and when to employ the most effective methods of fishing up and down the coast, as well as basic and advanced modern rigging techniques.
Soft cover. 9" x 6". 265 pages. 103 images. Author Lenny Rudow.

Jigging may be an ancient technique, but it's also the hottest, newest way to fish. Thanks to advances in tackle technology and the development of new methods like speed jigging, meat jigging, and yo-yoing, today you can target everthing from panfish to pelagics - with light tackle that's comfortable to use even on the biggest fish. And jigging will, at times, be far more effective than any other tactic you can apply. Are you ready to target tuna? Set your sights on stripers? Jig up giant golden tilefish? Then join well-known fishing author Lenny Rudow in this detailed examination of modern jigging techniques, equipment, lures, and lines. As usual, Rudow pulls no punches, explaining techniques with thorough instructions, naming his favorite rods, reels, and jigs by brand, and examining specific species on a case-by-case basis.

Rudow's Guide to Mistakes Anglers Make (Don't Do This!)

OOPS! D'OP! SHUCKS! We all make mistakes, and unfortunately, the mistakes we make while fishing mean we catch fewer fish. Wouldn't it be great if you knew someone who's already made about 10 million mistakes? And if that person was willing to share the lessons he'd learned with you? Well, you do know someone like that - me! In Rudow's Guide to Mistakes Anglers Make (Don't Do This!) we'll talk about the blunders, bloopers, and bone-headed moves that squelch our success rates. We'll cover topics like how we might spook fish with sounds, scents, lure action, and the wrong rigging. We'll even get into things like boat- handling, and mistakes people make while using marine electronics. Of course, at every turn we'll not only point out what constitutes the wrong move, but also what the right one is. As usual this author, Lenny Rudow, writes purely about fact-based information with one singular goal: to help you catch more fish. So grab a copy of the latest Rudow's Guide today - or you'll be making a big mistake!

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

Reef structure where striped bass forage in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay waters and tidal Potomac River are explored. An engaging narrative by a hands-on artificial reef builder tells how, where and what to look for at State-sponsored fish havens (artificial reefs) as well as a selection of natural reefs, wrecks, and obstructions. Details include 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 are presented. 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 excerpts by the author found on the FishTalk Magazine Where to Fish webpage.

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs: Voyages of Rediscovery by Wayne Young

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.

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs 2: More Voyages of Rediscovery by Wayne Young

Progressively building knowledge, skills, and abilities through hands-on experience under varying conditions is necessary to learn how, when, and where to fish Chesapeake Bay structure through the range of constantly changing conditions and seasonal patterns. Yet one could spend a lifetime fishing the Bay and its tributaries and uncover but a fraction of Neptune's secrets. Finding hotspots to prospect for fish remains challenging even with modern sonar technology, especially for those who don't know where to start looking.

The Author uses online armchair scouting resources to jumpstart acquiring local knowledge that would otherwise take years to develop. He presents not only where to find natural and artificial reefs, wrecks, rocks, ruins, and obstructions, but also details and illustrates what is actually there and provides coordinates. In this volume, with a foreword by professional guide Captain "Walleye Pete" Dahlberg, he picks up the storyline from Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs (2020) by expanding the presentation of structure that provides marine habitat and recreational fishing hotspots in areas that weren't well covered other than by sounding data. Content is designed for new recreational fishermen looking where to begin their acquisition of local knowledge about where to fish, occasional fishermen seeking to optimize available fishing time, and veteran fishers expanding to other fishing grounds.

Coverage starts with the tidal Susquehanna River and Flats, down the Upper Bay and outer Patapsco River to and including the Bay Bridge, then south to Cove Point on the West side and Pocomoke Sound on the east side, and around Cape Charles covering the north side of the Chesapeake Bay Entrance. Updated illustrated reef layouts are included for Plum Point, Dominion Reef at the Gooses, Mobjack Bay, Poquoson, York Spit, Bluefish Rock, The Cell, and Cabbage Patch Reefs. Also included are new data for Stone Rock, dozens of lighthouse ruins and icebreaker rocks Bay-wide and in the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, and yet another undocumented artificial reef in the Lower Bay. Boating and fishing safety practices are also featured. Whether new to fishing or a veteran, fishers will find clusters of hotspots to plan fishing trips around.
