These trips accommodate up to six anglers and take you to offshore wrecks, reefs, and other structures that attract a wide variety of popular game fish.

Target Species

In the spring, tautog are often a primary target as they gather around structure after winter, while flounder begin moving onto the wrecks as waters warm. As summer arrives, black sea bass fishing typically reaches its peak, and anglers may also encounter triggerfish, bluefish, and larger flounder around productive wrecks and reef sites. During late summer and early fall, triggerfish become more abundant, while sea bass and bluefish continue to provide excellent action. As temperatures cool in the fall, tautog once again become a major focus, offering hard-fighting action around rocky structure and wrecks. Sea bass fishing can remain productive into the cooler months, and flounder opportunities often continue until fish begin their offshore migration. Because different species move in and out of the area throughout the year, our captains adjust locations, depths, and techniques to target the most active fish available, ensuring every wreck fishing trip offers the best opportunity for success.

Where We Fish

Our wreck fishing charters depart from Ocean City and head to the many artificial reefs, shipwrecks, and natural structure located just offshore along Maryland’s coastline. These underwater structures create ideal habitat for sea bass, tautog, triggerfish, flounder, and bluefish by providing shelter and feeding opportunities. Depending on the season, weather, and current fishing conditions, we may fish a variety of nearshore and offshore wrecks located anywhere from a few miles offshore to farther-reaching reef systems. Our experienced captains use modern electronics and local knowledge to locate the most productive structure available, giving anglers the best chance to find active fish and enjoy a successful day on the water.
