OCEAN CITY INSHORE FISHING REPORTS

The daily Ocean City Fishing Report for inshore waters brings you up-to-date catch results straight from the bays and channels of Ocean City, Maryland. These reports are submitted by inshore bay guides—private charter captains who spend every day on the water tracking patterns, adjusting to tides, and following the fish.

If you’re wondering what’s biting in the bay today, this is the place to be. The Ocean City Maryland Fishing Report includes fresh updates from local captains targeting flounder, striped bass, tautog, bluefish, and speckled trout. These inshore specialists cover the back bays, bridges, channels, and grass flats throughout OCMD—so you don’t have to guess where to go or what to throw.

DAILY REPORTS FROM INSHORE GUIDES

Our inshore boats are on the water every day throughout the season. Whether you’re planning a guided trip or simply want to scout hot spots, these Ocean City Fishing Reports offer local knowledge you can count on. Expect daily insights into:

  • Flounder fishing along the Thorofare and behind Assateague Island
  • Rockfish (striped bass) and bluefish near the Route 50 and Route 90 bridges
