Chesapeake Light Tackle Book by Shawn Kimbro from alltackle.com

So, here are the details: The book starts with a foreword by Chesapeake Bay Foundation Senior Naturalist John Page Williams. It took me a long time to get up my nerve to ask JP to write a foreword for my book. He’s forgotten more about the Bay than I will ever learn. I’ve read every book he’s ever written, and I try never to miss his magazine articles or editorials. I’ve fished with him on several occasions; every time I go, I learn a lot. Fishing with him is like taking a master class from a maestro. I’m humbled by his participation.

Following JP’s foreword is a short introduction in which I say a little about my personal history and thank the many people who have influenced me and contributed to the creation of the book. The first chapter is a fish tale. I won’t give it away but I will say it’s a new story that hasn’t appeared anywhere on my website. Next, I visit the habits of the individual species we target with light tackle. I then touch on techniques like trolling and bait-fishing, then roll directly into the nuts and bolts of light tackle casting.

The book holds up on its own, but is also meant as a companion to my fishing reports here on this website. Each chapter starts with a CLT report, then goes into detail about why that fishing trip was (or wasn’t) successful. There are chapters on jigging techniques, recognizing seasonal patterns, selecting lures, making lures, choosing the right rods & reels, catching fish on top-water lures, finding fishing spots, unlocking Bay Bridge secrets, fishing warm water discharges, reading currents, watching birds, and much more. I also included a section on developing good catch-and-release practices and another about protecting our natural resources.

There are at least forty pictures in the book, and a couple of small maps. Many of the pictures are action shots featuring frequent (and not-so-frequent) fishing partners. The December introductory edition has 21 glossy color photos. Later editions will feature high-resolution black & white pictures. The 6″ X 9″ book is printed on heavy stock eco-friendly paper with a durable high-gloss card-stock cover. The list price is $24.95.
