When I was a little kid, in West Hyattsville, I used to go to the creek.
Nothing was exciting about this, except for one thing: They stocked
it with trout.
Brown trout, rainbow trout, it was the best of times. But as I got
older, I discovered the bay. And it was great. I was hooked. My father
bought a boat and that’s when I really fell in love. We would go on the
bay from Solomons and Crisfield, and we would catch croakers, spot, trout, and flounder. I was in heaven. We used to charter our boat and go out into the crystal blue water. We’d catch some of the most amazing fish like triggers, grouper, and red snapper, just to name a few. And it was a lovely time, every time I went down there on vacation.
