Ocean City's Top Inshore Fishing Adventure

Hey there, fellow angler! Ready for some real Ocean City action? Our 6-hour charter trip is the perfect way to get your fish on without spending all day at sea. We'll hit the water at 7 AM sharp, giving you prime time to land some of the best catches these waters have to offer. Whether you're after flounder, black sea bass, tautog, or triggerfish, we've got the spots that'll make your reel sing. With room for four, it's the ideal trip for you and your crew to make some serious fishing memories. Let's dive into what makes this trip a can't-miss for any angler visiting Ocean City!

What's the Deal on Deck?

Alright, here's the scoop: we're talking nearshore and inshore fishing that'll knock your socks off. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some primo fishing spots. We're not messing around with long rides out to sea – we'll get you on the fish quick. You'll be dropping lines over wrecks and reefs where the big ones love to hang out. It's all about variety on this trip. One minute you might be battling a feisty flounder, the next you're reeling in a hard-fighting tautog. And let's not forget about those triggerfish – they're a blast to catch and even better to eat. Just remember, we don't provide grub on this trip, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up. Trust me, you'll need it with all the action you'll be seeing!

Rigs and Techniques

Listen up, because this is where the magic happens. We're not just tossing a line and hoping for the best. Depending on what we're after, we'll be switching up our game. For flounder, we might use a bucktail jig with a strip of squid – that's like candy to those flatties. When we're targeting tautog (locals call 'em tog), it's all about precision. We'll use green crabs or clams on a jig head, dropping it right into their hidey-holes in the structure. For sea bass and triggerfish, a simple hi-lo rig with squid or clam can do the trick. But here's a pro tip: bring some gulp baits. These artificial wonders can be a game-changer when the fish are being picky. Our crew will show you the ropes, so even if you're new to this, you'll be fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the stars of the show – the fish you'll be chasing. First up, the grey triggerfish. These guys are like the punks of the sea – tough, scrappy, and always up for a fight. They've got teeth that can crush shellfish, so watch your fingers! Best time to catch 'em is late summer to early fall. Triggerfish are a real treat on the table too, with sweet, firm white meat.

Next, we've got tautog, or blackfish if you're feeling fancy. These are the bruisers of the inshore world. They love structure and will try to break you off every chance they get. Spring and fall are prime time for tog. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but man, are they fun to catch and delicious to eat.

Last but not least, black sea bass. These guys are the reliable crowd-pleasers of Ocean City fishing. They school up over wrecks and reefs, and when you find 'em, it can be non-stop action. They put up a good fight for their size and are absolute dynamite in the frying pan. You can catch 'em year-round, but summer and fall are when they really show up in numbers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I gotta tell you, there's something special about fishing these Ocean City waters. Maybe it's the way the sun hits the water as we're heading out. Maybe it's the rush you get when that rod bends double and you know you've hooked into something big. Or maybe it's just the laughs and stories shared with friends and family as you reel 'em in. Whatever it is, I see folks come back year after year, grinning from ear to ear, ready for more. That's what keeps me going, and that's what I want to share with you on this trip.

Time to Get Your Fish On

Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you're itching to feel that tug on your line and bring home some of the tastiest fish the Atlantic has to offer, this is your chance. Our 6-hour trip is the sweet spot – enough time to get on the fish without taking up your whole day. We've got the know-how, we've got the spots, and we're ready to put you on the fish. So what are you waiting for? Grab your crew, book your spot, and let's make some waves. The fish are calling, and trust me, you don't want to miss this call. See you on the water!

Learn more about the species

Black Sea Bass

Black Sea Bass are a staple in Ocean City waters. These members of the grouper family typically weigh 2-4 pounds, but can reach up to 8. You'll find them around wrecks, rocky bottoms, and underwater structures, usually in depths under 120 feet. Late spring to summer is prime time, when they move closer to shore. Sea bass put up a good scrap, especially on light tackle. They're bottom feeders, so use a rig with squid or fish strips near the seafloor. Here's a local secret: bigger males often hang out in deeper water, so head further out if you're after a trophy. Guests love targeting these fish not just for the fight, but also for their excellent table quality. The meat is white, flaky, and mild - perfect for a fresh fish dinner after a day on the water.

Black Sea Bass

Grey Triggerfish

Black Sea Bass are a fun catch around Ocean City. These plump, dark-colored fish usually weigh 2-4 pounds, but can get up to 8 pounds. You'll find them near underwater structures like wrecks, jetties, and rocky bottoms, typically in waters less than 120 feet deep. Late spring to summer is prime time, when they gather close to shore. They put up a good fight until they break the surface. To land one, try a medium-weight rod with 20-30 pound line and live bait like squid or fish strips. Black Sea Bass are bottom feeders, so keep your bait near the seafloor. Here's a local tip: the bigger males tend to hang out in deeper water, so if you're after a trophy, head further offshore. These fish are not only fun to catch, but they're also great eating - firm, white meat that's a local favorite.

Grey Triggerfish

Tautog

Tautog, or blackfish, are a real treat to catch off Ocean City. These stout, mottled fish usually weigh 1-3 pounds but can reach up to 20. You'll find them around rocky structures, jetties, and wrecks - they love complex habitats. Spring and fall are the best seasons, with late April to early August being prime time. Tautogs are known for their strong fight and delicious white meat. They're crafty, often ducking into rocks after taking the bait, so you need quick reflexes. Here's a pro tip: use green crabs or Asian crabs as bait, but change it every 4-5 minutes to keep it fresh. Tautogs have powerful jaws designed for crushing shellfish, so use sturdy hooks. These fish are a real test of an angler's skills, making them a favorite target for many of our guests.
