Product Description
Rudow’s Guide to Fishing the Chesapeake is the most comprehensive guide to angling on all of the Chesapeake’s waters from main-stem Bay to tributaries and tidal creeks. Detailed charts show over 550 specific hotspots and 35 public shoreline fishing hotspots, plus 33 reliable public boat ramps.

Specific Bay sportfish and the most effective methods of catching them during each phase of the season are meticulously discussed on a fish-by-fish basis, as are both modern and traditional tackle and rigs.

Never before has a fishing guide tackled each aspect of angling the Chesapeake Bay so thoroughly. Topics are as varied as casting for spring trophy rock on the Susquehanna Flats, jigging for seatrout at the Bay Bridge, wire-lining for flounder at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and ice fishing for perch in Port Deposit are all covered in depth. There are even sections on shoreline fishing for each area of the Chesapeake. If you want to boost your catch rate every time you fish the Bay, this book is the ticket.

5 out of 5 stars Blueprint for fishing the Chesapeake   December 23, 2007

"Rudow's Guide to Fishing the Chesapeake" is a fishing gem.
Over 300 pages long, and if you are serious about fishing the world's largest estuary (over 180 miles long) and its tributaries, this book is a "must buy." Published in 2005, it has locations of spots to fish on charts collected from head boat captains and other knowledgeable sources.

The book is divided into three parts - Part 1: Chesapeake Bay Regional Guide in four chapters; Part II regarding Tactics and Tackle, Part III the various game fish of the Bay with identification of 17 different species of fish and their habits. The Table of Contents is a good one but the book could use an index because of the wealth of information served up on a platter for the reader. Use a yellow highlighter and post it note tabs for your favorite parts.

If you would like read an excerpt of Rudow's Guide to Rockfish, a companion book, go to: http://www.geareduppublications.com/freergrtipspix.html
Both books make great gifts.

We wouldn't think of leaving for a fishing trip on the bay without this wonderful book tucked into our supplies.

Lenny's book is incredibly accurate and loaded with local knowledge. Very helpful to new fishermen and those already familiar with the Chesapeake. It's a must to be kept onboard every fishing boat on the Chesapeake.

I've been fishing the Bay since I was a little boy. The Rudow Guide is truly awesome. A treasure of useful information and easy to read, too. A great guide and a great gift. Go Rudow!

This book is extremely helpful to someone who wants to either learn how to fish in the Chesapeake Bay or improve on their current talents and knowledge. The book covers in depth fishing locations, techniques, lures and rigs, and specific information on the main fish you will go after. I highly recommend the book.
