Sunset in the Easter Shore of the Chesapeake Bay (On Explore 2/29/2016)
The long poles seen in this picture were set by commercial fishermen to hold a net. The fish swims to the holding area where they are trapped. This old fishing method is attributed to the original inhabitants of the Bay. For native peoples, the Chesapeake Bay was a source of sustenance, a transportation lifeline, and a home. Spring brought fish runs of herring, shad, striped bass, and sturgeon to the Chesapeake, and it also brought the Indians to coastal camps to harvest the spawning fish. Men trapped fish in a complicated system of weirs and nets, and caught them with spears. Smoking over open fires preserved the fish.
