OCEAN CITY FLOUNDER CHARTERS

Flounder is the main show during the late spring all the way through the first weeks of October. Earlier and later in the season is typically the best time for the biggest fish, but all summer the action is hot and heavy on our inshore private guides. Although the common way to target flounder is to drift and drag your bait on the floor of the bay, its not uncommon for charters catch them while casting at the bridges or even in a crab trap! Flounder is a light flakey fish when cooked and excellent fried, grilled or broiled. Flounder limits and sizes seem to change every year. Our Captain try’s to target areas that are more productive and that others have a hard time finding or navigating to. Our boats are perfect for this type of fishing as they can float over shallow waters and have the perfect amount of room for all anglers to drop a line.

Whatever you call them they are here in OC and our charters will hunt them down for you! Stripers, locally known as Rockfish, are an almost year round query.  While the biggest fish are typically caught in the late fall and winter months during their migration, a savvy angler always stands of catching one.
Striper charter out on the eastern shore are popular year round but our bay guide fall trips are the most popular on the Get Sum.
