About this ebook
This is a collection of Lenny Rudow's how-to/where-to fishing articles, some previously published in The Fisherman magazine and some all-new, about fishing for flounder, panfish (perch)and catfish. Noted fishing writer Lenny Rudow has written for decades about fishing in the Mid-Atlantic region, and in this book he shares the how-to/where-to knowlegde that can only be gained through experience.
The book includes 8 distinct chapters which address specific tactics and places anglers will be interested in, when they're targeting these species. Chapter one covers how to fish for panfish like perch, spot, and croaker on hard-bottom humps, including where-to info for Belvedede Shoals (on the Chesapeake Bay). Chapter two covers cold-weather catfish fishing, and identifies six different hotspots for cats in Maryland and Virginia. Fishing for flounder is covered in chapter three, with specifics given for Wachapreague. Next, catching flounder on the greater Chesapeake Bay is covered in detail - tactics, tackle, and top hot-spots. In chapter five, we get into yellowperch fishing during the late winter/early spring season. And yes, several Maryland hotspots are again described in detail. Chapter six is for the shore-line angler; 10 top hotspots for land-locked fishermen (including the what-how-where info you need), in Maryland are detailed. Chapter seven has more info on fishing specifically for yellow perch. And finally, in chapter eight Rudow details ways you can catch more catfish.

Introduction
In the years since The Fisherman ceased publication of the Maryland/Mid-Atlantic edition, I’ve had countless anglers come up to me at fishing shows and seminars, and express how much they wish they could get all of those how-to/where-to articles I used to write for the magazine. I’ve also hear a lot of folks say that they really miss the publication, and how they used to look forward to it coming in the mail every week. With this new series of e-books I’m hoping to at least partially fill that void. Organizing those older articles by target species of fish and tactics, I put together the best of them, updated the information wherever possible, and added several new articles so there would be some fresh and interesting information no matter how good your memory is.
I’ve priced this e-guide at just $2.99, or about the cost of one edition of The Fisherman before they shut it down. The Fisherman used to have four or five features per edition and this guide includes eight articles, so I hope you’ll feel the price (about 37 cents per article) is more than fair. And remember, if you enjoy one or more and want to get some of my other books which are printed in hard-copy, you can always visit Schifferbooks.com or Amazon. Enjoy – and catch ‘em up!!!

Belvidere Shoals Panfish
Panning for Gold:
Sure, stripers get all the glory. But when you want fast action and a full cooler on the Chesapeake Bay, few fish are as reliable as white perch – and that’s the main catch, when you go for panfish in the upper bay. Spot, croaker, and even catfish (when salinity is low) can be in the mix, too, and all of these fish make for good eating. So let’s gear up, and go panning for gold!
Bumps for Bites
The secret to finding panfish in the upper bay is to locate bumps, humps, and oyster shell bottom. And there are plenty of all the above, at Belvidere Shoals. This uneven bottom lies from Seven Foot Knoll to the
