Welcome to another week of Fish’N O.C. its been another great week of fishing here in the waters of Ocean City, We have some great reports coming in from local fisherman, tackle shops, and charter boats. I finally started my fishing charters this past week, with a great start to my 2009 season with 2 of the best back to back Striper charters I’ve seen on the South Jetty in years. There also was a better then usual night Striper and Blues bite on the Rt. 50 Bridge, also with anglers catching keeper Flounder and Tog during the day. The 9th Street Pier started to turn on with nice keeper Flounder being reported along with Snapper Blues. The 2nd to 4th Street Bulk Head is still giving up keeper Flounder and Tog. The Oceanic Pier still has a good day time Flounder and Tog bite, while night time anglers see runs of Shad and Blues. The North and South Jetties have been producing nice day time catches of Trigger Fish, Tog, and Stripers, plus night time runs of Blues and Stripers. The South Bay is seeing good catches of Flounder but most are short with some nice size keepers mixed in. We even had a report of a school of nice Croakers reported in the South Bay, but just for one tide. The surf fishing still continues to produce catches of Snapper Blues, Stripers, Black Drum, and some good sized Sand Sharks, Skates, and Rays. The offshore fishing is having one of its best starts we’ve seen in a very long time, with good20catches of Sharks, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, and Marlin. So it looks like a good year to get out there and fish , or even get a group of family or friends and book a fishing charter here in Ocean City.
