Today, the Chesapeake Bay watermen's way of life is under pressure
to survive. Captain Larry Simns has worked as a commercial
fisherman in the waters of Maryland for nearly sixty years, serving
as President of the Maryland Watermen's Association since the
1970s. Through good and hard times, Simns has labored to keep
working watermen profitable and relevant in spite of declining
water quality and severe encroachment of prime fishing grounds.
Here, find a funny, pointed, and candid portrait of one man's
journey to lead independent, hard-charging commercial fishermen. In
chronological order, Larry shares 65 stories reflecting memories of
his "best of times," peppered with views on everything from fishing
to politics. Enjoy his practical wisdom and dry humor; see part of
his past through pen and ink drawings created by Anne Crane Harlan
of Centreville, Maryland.
