“Lamont Wright Sr. starts his Saturday mornings the same way his father does. He arrives at Kent Narrows under a dark sky and helps to ready his father Montro’s boat, the Shirley B III, for a day of fishing. They’ll be chasing the spot, croaker, and perch that shelter in oyster reefs in the Choptank and Chester rivers as well as the main stem of the Chesapeake Bay.” Rona Kobell, Chesapeake Quarterly
