The Chesapeake Bay, like Verdigre Creek, has challenges that it is facing.

A nice early morning striper, fishing structure...


Only a handful of commercial boats still prowl Virginia's side of the Chesapeake in search of menhaden. They are large boats, though, and are supported by a fleet of aircraft who act as spotters, directing the boats to the pods of baitfish. ...

Here's some pics:
