In August the temps can get very cold at night on the boat pack a hoodie and sweatpants to pull over your shorts. Also if you’ve never been on a boat pack closed bottle drinks and wear shoes that don’t leave marks on the deck. Snacks that don’t make a mess when eating. Be respectful of the boat. If you don’t know ask the Captain before booking and let them know the dates you have available incase of bad weather.

If you're heading out mainly to fish, I'd recommend checking water conditions or getting some local tips first.

If the wind is blowing out of the N or NE there will be parts of the main bay that cannot be fished. We were hoping to fish for bull redfish but wind did not allow that to happen. We had fun catching rockfish instead.

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.

Go out early. We booked the earliest trip of the day, and by 9am, it was already starting to get uncomfortably warm.

Check the ratings not just the price. Make sure your captain knows the water and is flexible and willing to go find fish!

I recommend trying a few different charters starting with the party boat charters then go to the private charters. Try a few different charters out until you find one you like and will want to go back to.

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.

Bring non drowsy Dramamine and ginger ale- even though our captain was well prepared and had cold ginger ale on hand when my daughter got a little motion sickness. Really helped her and she was able to continue fishing.

Book with Captain Kane. If you want to really get out and catch different species go for a full day, if you just want to target 1 or 2 types a half day is good too!

Try to plan ahead unlike me so you go out when conditions are better for whatever you were trying to catch. Or at least as best as they can be for that time of year.

Find an experienced captain (and crew if included) that’s highly experienced. Always keep expectations low because we’ve done several excursions in the Carolina’s and Florida where we might catch fish, sometimes nothing at all and rarely fish that are legal and can be taken home.

The four hour trip was perfect for younger kids. The charters are the only way to go in my opinion. Be sure to check the dates that fish are in season when booking.
