Fishing Structure
Just like in freshwater fishing, mastering structure fishing is
critical to saltwater fishing success. In the Chesapeake Bay, structure
includes things like wrecks, reefs, oyster bars, grassbeds,
rips, channel edges.
In the Atlantic, many of the same structure hold fish. In
addition, the possibilities include sea bass pot buoys, lobster gear
buoys, weedlines and floating objects.
One type of ocean structure not to be overlooked are scallopboats.
The bycatch that goes back overboard attracts tuna, dolphin and sharks
to the area. When several scallopers congregate on a small area, fish
can be concentrated and feeding actively.
