The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary on the Eastern Seaboard and it has fishing opportunities that are almost endless, it’s a good thing too because when we rolled into town so did the weather. We had to change our whole plan to make the best of it.

Capt. John Garland runs Screaming Reels Fishing Charters, going after invasive blue catfish on the James River near Richmond. Not only does he love working on the water, he’s another example of a small business that depends on the Bay and its rivers. Recreational fishing supports thousands of jobs in the region, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy every year. | Chesapeake Bay Foundation
