Told by a former artificial reef manager, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman with a foreword by Jim Hutchinson, Jr., this is first and foremost a book for fisherman that provides practical methods to find and prospect bottom features that attract bait, striped bass, catfish, white perch, and other sportfish. It also draws on boating and fishing lessons from the author's formative years growing up on a New Jersey barrier island, Coast Guard service, and Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River restoration and fishing experience to encourage boating and fishing safety. This third book of a multi-volume Mid-Atlantic fishing reef series covers from the tidal Delaware River and its tidal tributaries from the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D) Canal upriver to the rapids at Trenton Falls. It provides a detailed look at wrecks, obstructions, natural formations including reefs and rocks, icebreakers, and extensive pier ruins. 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. The narrative and annotated charts not only show and tell where to look for structure, but also include sonar images from hydrographic surveys to convey what is actually there to inform fishing strategies and tackle selection. Approximate river miles and a selection of geographic coordinates are included. A selection of color graphics used to produce greyscale images in the series are found on the Facebook page for the Author’s works, "Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs", and as illustrations for the Author's articles in The Fisherman (New Jersey, Delaware Bay edition). The book concludes with an overview of river safety precautions including use of river stage information from online river gauges readings and predictions.
