Target Species

What
We Catch

Flounder

Flounder are one of Ocean City’s most popular inshore catches, found around the bays, channels, bridges, and nearshore wrecks from spring through fall. Their excellent table fare, widespread availability, and challenging, subtle bites make them a favorite target for anglers of all experience levels.

Sea Bass

Black sea bass thrive on the wrecks and reefs near Ocean City, providing steady action throughout much of the season and excellent opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. These hard-fighting fish are known for their aggressive strikes and are highly prized for their firm, white fillets and excellent table fare.

Tautog (Blackfish)

Tautog are a prized bottom fish found around Ocean City’s bridges, jetties, wrecks, and artificial reefs, especially during spring and fall. Known for their powerful fights and excellent table fare, tautog challenge anglers with subtle bites and a stubborn determination to return to structure.

Mahi-mahi

Mahi-mahi arrive in Ocean City’s offshore waters during the summer months, often gathering around floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. Their brilliant colors, acrobatic fights, and delicious meat make them one of the most exciting and highly sought-after offshore species to target.

Tuna

Ocean City is renowned for its world-class tuna fishing, with yellowfin, bigeye, and bluefin tuna available during different parts of the season and across a variety of offshore grounds. These powerful pelagic fish can provide the fight of a lifetime and are a major draw for offshore anglers in the area each year.

Tilefish

Golden and blueline tilefish inhabit the deep offshore canyons east of Ocean City, where anglers target them in hundreds of feet of water. Known for their exceptional eating quality, tilefish offer a unique deep-drop fishing experience unlike any other fishery on the East Coast.

Shark

Several shark species, including threshers, makos, sandbars, and duskies, can be found in Ocean City’s coastal and offshore waters throughout the season. Shark fishing delivers long, powerful battles and offers anglers the chance to encounter some of the ocean’s most impressive and awe-inspiring predators.

Bluefish

Bluefish are aggressive feeders that can be found throughout Ocean City’s inshore and nearshore waters during the warmer months of the year. Their explosive strikes and relentless fights make them a favorite for anglers looking for fast-paced action and exciting catches.

Mackerel (Spanish & King)

Spanish mackerel are a summertime staple off Ocean City, often feeding near the surface and providing exciting light-tackle action close to shore. King mackerel are less common but occasionally appear offshore, offering anglers the chance to battle a fast, hard-running gamefish.
