Fishing in Solomons

Solomons Island is a small fishing village nestled between the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. It’s a popular weekend getaway for local Marylanders looking to drop a few lines and catch delicious fish. If you’re just getting started, book a trip with a Solomons fishing charter and get ready for a fun adventure on the Chesapeake Bay!

There are lots of great spots where you can post up for the day and reel in exciting fish. The mouth of the Patuxent River can reap rewarding catches, including Stripers, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Weakfish. Want to hook another type of inshore sea creature? You can also target Crabs here, too!

If you’d like to go after big game inshore fish, you can pick a charter to take you deeper into the bay and target the likes of Cobia, Bluefish, Whiting, and Spanish Mackerel. Solomons is surrounded by inlets and creeks that provide great secluded action as well. Have a guide take you to Back or Mill Creek and catch Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, as well as Rainbow and Brown Trout.

If you’re planning on staying inshore or in the backwaters, a shorter, half-day trip will suffice. A full day trip is your best bet if you plan on hitting the bay. That way you can fish all day, hit several different spots, and see where the hottest bites are. Take a look at some of the local charters in the area, invite your whole family, and start planning your adventure today!

Rules & Regulations

All Maryland saltwater charters are licensed to cover everyone on board. However, if you’ll be fishing the Patuxent River or any other body of freshwater, you’ll have to buy a fishing license before you head out. If you plan on fishing without a licensed charter and you’re over the age of 16, you’ll have to buy a license regardless of whether you’re fishing in freshwater or saltwater.

Solomons Fishing Seasons

January

Don’t let the cold weather discourage you from going out and challenging yourself to some winter action. Just because the fish are sluggish this time of year, doesn’t mean they’re not out there!

February

Largemouth Bass and Crappie slowly start to creep into the picture. Target Bass close to the rocky banks along the Patuxent River or Crappie in shallow, sandy bottoms of the river.

March

March marks the beginning of Flounder season in Maryland. Pick a charter that will take you bottom fishing in the bay and catch your limit for the day!

April

It’s time to go crabbing! Grab a bucket and toss a line off the pier and see what you can catch. This is a great family activity and recommended for all levels of experience.

May

Striper season is finally here, so pick a charter that’ll take you trolling in the bay. If you’re a seasoned angler, try something different and go fly fishing for the ultimate challenge!

June

The weather is nice outside and so is the fishing. You can catch a wide range of fish in June, including Cobia, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Flounder, Red and Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, and Weakfish.

July

Things really start to heat up on the bay in July. Plan a weekend getaway with the family and plan to catch Striped Bass, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Flounder. Tucked away in the inlets and creeks, you’ll find Perch, Rainbow Trout, and Largemouth Bass.

August

Everything is biting in August – from Whiting and Bluefish in the bay to Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch in the river. You can experience a little bit of everything!

September

Early fall is a great time for fishing in the bay, especially if you’re targeting Whiting. Other top catches this month include Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Striped Bass, and Cobia.

October

Now is a good time to target big Stripers in the bay. Summer Flounder, Croaker, and Perch are also some other likely targets in October.

November

Striped Bass fishing is still hot. Trolling with live bait or artificial lures is an effective technique when chasing Maryland Rockfish.

December

The season winds down as Christmas time approaches. However, you can still target Striped Bass in the Chesapeake Bay.

What anglers said about fishing in Solomons

Bottom fishing is more appropriate for young anglers and gives more “rod time” than trawling for Spanish mackerel.

Solomons was a lovely place to visit — easy to navigate, not crowded, and full of genuinely friendly people. There was a nice variety of restaurants, and all the fishing boats seemed to be catching fish. A relaxing and enjoyable spot for a day trip or weekend getaway.

It was hotter than Hades while we were out there but we still had a great time! I don’t think there’s really a bad time to go fishing. It’s the whole experience that matters.

June is a good time for 3-5lb blues, apparently the rock fish migratory patterns changed so summer time may not be ideal if that’s what you are hoping to land.

Just inform your Captain during booking what you are looking for so they will make the accommodations work well for you. Example we are planning on bringing our seniors on the next trip for bottom fishing and they showed us how they will set up to be able to accommodate us ?

Bottom fishing is fun for kids because you catch a lot of fish. Spot aren't the best to eat. But easy to catch.

Stay in-shore, practice with the smaller fishes! Your target should be bottom-feeders and whiting! You will have a great time, for the first time, if you try not to do to much.

We had a great time. Nearly had a full load of people (can have up to six, we had five) and we all caught fish the entire time. Capt knew where to take us to make sure we got our moneys worth. We did the four hour bottom fishing trip and came home with enough for dinner for a week. Capt and first mate are great to chat with, made us feel comfortable and helped us out the entire time. Six stars of if I could. We will definitely be returning and hope to get out on the bay. Thanks again!

Six of us went out for a four hour trip. Everything was great. Really nice boat, great help with important baiting and fish removal when necessary and patient with an 8 year old. Caught lots of fish too! It was what the family needed to have a fun day on beautiful water together during a difficult time for the family. Thank you.

Captain Chris and his first mate were outstanding. They did a great job locating a spot to fish and we caught plenty of bluefish and even one cobia. We had a great day out on the boat with them and wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future. Leading up to the event Chris was very fast to reply to any inquiries I had. He had our best interest in mind with every decision that was made, and he was very knowledgeable about everything.

I decided to do something different and special for my 65th birthday so I booked the Misty Blue for a day on the Chesapeake. Captain Chris and Mate Hawkins made it a great day! We had a blast reeling in the Blues, fast and furious at times, and although the Cobia eluded us that day, at least we gave it our best shot. Thanks for trying Capt. Chris. I’d recommend the Misty Blue and crew to anyone who wants a fun day fishing the Bay.
