Alright, let’s talk about this fishin’ thing down at Solomons Island, ya know? I ain’t no fancy writer or nothin’, just tellin’ ya what I heard and seen, like it is.
So, Solomons Island, that’s down in Calvert County, way south. Folks say it’s a good spot to catch some fish, but you gotta know what you’re doin’. It ain’t like throwin’ a line in a mud puddle, no sirree.
What kinda fish you gonna catch? Well, I hear tell there’s them White Perch. People say they hang around them bridge pilings. You know, the things holdin’ up the bridge? Yeah, them. Seems like a fella caught some nice ones back in October, twenty-twenty-three. Don’t know ’bout now, though.
- White Perch: Good eatin’, folks say. Find ’em near the bridges.
- Other fish: They don’t always tell ya everything, do they? But I reckon there’s other fish swimmin’ around. Maybe some rockfish, maybe some bluefish. You gotta go and see for yourself, I guess.
Now, about when to go fishin’… that’s the tricky part. It ain’t just whenever you feel like it. Them fish, they got their own schedule, tied to the tides and the moon and all that fancy stuff.
Them smart folks, they got these things called tide tables and solunar charts. Sounds complicated, right? Well, it kinda is. But basically, it tells you when the water’s movin’ in and out, and when the fish are likely to be bitin’. High tide, low tide, sun goin’ up, sun goin’ down… it all matters, they say.
I heard tell August of twenty-twenty-three was a good time for fishin’. And July of twenty-twenty-four too, I reckon. But things change, you know? Fish ain’t always predictable. One day they’re bitin’ like crazy, the next day, nothin’. That’s just how it is.
Fishin’ reports, that’s another thing folks talk about. They go out fishin’, then they tell everyone what they caught and where they caught it. It’s supposed to help you figure out where to go and what to use. But you gotta take it with a grain of salt, I say. Just ’cause some fella caught a big one yesterday don’t mean you’re gonna catch one today.
You wanna know ’bout the next few days, huh? Well, I can’t tell ya for sure. I ain’t no fortune teller. But I reckon if you look at them tide charts and them fishin’ reports, you might get an idea. They talk about “expected activity” and all that. Sounds fancy, but it just means they’re guessin’ what the fish are gonna do.
Where to fish? Solomons Island ain’t that big, but there’s different spots. Them bridge pilings, like I said. Maybe off the shore somewhere. Maybe you gotta get yourself a boat. I don’t know, I ain’t got a boat. But if you do, you can probably go out a bit further and find some more fish.
So, that’s the lowdown on fishin’ at Solomons Island, as far as I know it. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t easy neither. You gotta do your homework, pay attention to the tides and the moon, and maybe listen to them fishin’ reports. And most importantly, you gotta be patient. ‘Cause fishin’ ain’t always about catchin’ fish. Sometimes it’s just about sittin’ out there, enjoyin’ the peace and quiet.
And hey, if you do catch somethin’, don’t forget to share! Nothin’ better than a mess of fresh-caught fish, fried up nice and crispy. Makes my mouth water just thinkin’ about it.
One more thing, be careful out there. Water can be dangerous, you know? Don’t go out alone if you ain’t sure of what you’re doin’. And always wear a life jacket, even if you think you don’t need it. Better safe than sorry, that’s what I always say.
Anyways, good luck with your fishin’. Hope you catch a big one!
