This is the time for Scup to shine. While Scup might not be your first choice, bear in mind that they’re easy to catch and kids will find them exciting – and your taste buds will thank you for catching them, too.

March brings choices. With Amberjack and Flounder slowly entering the scene, and Mako Sharks and Crabs going strong, you won’t be short of options. If you haven’t tried your luck with Crabs yet, early spring is the perfect time to change that.

Now that you’ve got the hang of pursuing Mako Sharks, Amberjacks, and Crabs, you can gradually expand your fishing experience by targeting species like Tautog, Bluefish, and Weakfish. And don’t be fooled by its name because Weakfish can put up a good fight.

With warmer temperatures, more species are starting to emerge. Flounder, Sharks, and Bluefish are steadily picking up, whereas Amberjack and Weakfish are reaching their peak. But the real sensation is the local favorite – Black Seabass!

Early summer proudly introduces the world-famous prized catch – Bluefin Tuna! This admirable fish is quite a challenge to pull out of the water due to its size, and is widely sought-after thanks to its delicious meat. If you’re a fan of both, now’s your chance to go after them.

Summer is here and headliners are thriving. The waters are brimming with Flounder, Wahoo, Amberjack, Black Seabass, Bluefin Tuna, and Spotted Seatrout. However, the absolute winner in the picture-perfect category is Mahi Mahi and their season is blooming. 

Mahi Mahi travel in schools and warm temperatures bring them in packs. They’re mostly located by trolling. While easy to spot, don’t expect an easy way out as they’ll put up a strong fight. Good-looking, feisty and tasty, Mahi Mahi are worth the hype.

Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Amberjack, and Spotted Seatrout are still at their peak, but soon they’ll clear the way for the other species. Early fall might be your last chance to make some good fishing memories while chasing after big names like Blue and White Marlin.

The right temperature caters to the needs of many species and waters are still abundant with fish. Wherever you cast your line, you can expect to catch something, but Black Seabass will stand out. For the next few weeks, they’ll take over these waters.

Winter brings new excitement, but old names, too. While Black Seabass and Tautog are dominating the area, Sharks and Crabs are making a comeback. Passionate Striped Bass anglers will also be pleased to see their favorite bouncing back.

Ocean City fishing season is slowly toning down. But this doesn’t mean you’ll be left hanging. Striped Bass and Black Seabass are at their finest and under no circumstances are you to miss out on them!
