Tuna
Chasing tuna out of Solomons, Maryland, means understanding the Chesapeake Bay's influence on the Atlantic fishery. This isn't your typical offshore tuna trip; you're often dealing with a mix of brackish and saltwater conditions as you head out. The key is to track the seasonal migration of baitfish like menhaden – tuna will follow them. Peak season is typically late summer into early fall when warmer waters push closer to the bay's mouth. For success, pay close attention to water temperature breaks and current rips, as these areas concentrate forage. A practical tip: the public boat ramp at the end of Hallowing Point Road offers good access, but it can get crowded, so arrive early. Also, be prepared to adjust your trolling depth based on temperature; tuna often hold deeper in warmer water. Remember, natural presentations often outperform flashy lures in these waters, so consider using ballyhoo or similar baits.
