Publisher's Summary:
From Cap'n Larry Jarboe: Many people ask how is it possible to catch so many fish in a morning or afternoon of fishing. My answer is simple. While most people focus on fishing, I concentrate on catching. There are two major things to know if you want to catch a mess of fish: when to fish and where to fish. In the short stories herein which are pure fiction, any resemblance to any persons is merely coincidental. No persons, living or dead, are represented in these articles unless the story is nonfiction, except in the case of the stories of St. George's Island breaking away from the mainland - if anyone believes that nonsense they need their heads examined. Any and all politicians mentioned here should take their inclusion as a complement except when they were compared with a snake and in all such cases we apologize to the snake. In the case of the various fishing stories, they are all true with the exception of the ones which are invented, falsified and the result of wild conjuring. All persons who venture into these pages without a sense of humor or who are politically correct are warned to leave at once without venturing past this severe admonition or risk being keel-hauled.
Members Reviews:
I felt as if I were there. Very engrossing.
The Chesapeake...Legends, Yarns and Barnacles was a tremendous symphony of humor, tips, history and personalities. It was so engrossing that I couldn't stop reading it until I finished it. Of course that may explain the barnacles on my, well, you know where.
The book felt like I was there sharing the adventures, frustrations and joy of the characters. You certainly made the Chesapeake come to life. Keep up the good work.
Thank you again.

Fun read
I enjoyed reading the short stories about fishing in the Chesapeake . I enjoy hearing/reading true stories about history. Thanks for bundling all these up into an nice little book for us .
Intriguing adventures!
A great collection of stories and articles originally published in the Maryland newspaper, The Chesapeake. Maritime enthusiasts and residents of the states of Maryland (and Florida) will take the most interest, as the stories feature these 2 states.
Ken Rossignol and his friend Larry Jarboe penned quite a few of the articles included in this volume of The Chesapeake, accompanied by many other reporters' pieces. Most of the articles have some sort of nautical interest, whether about boats in general, fishing, or maybe it's just about life in the Chesapeake Bay area.
