Happy New Year, winter is here and the ocean the temps continue to fall. The Tautog are eating well on reefs and wrecks when the weather lets us get out ... the bay temps have dropped from the catching zone and into the fishing zone. Tuna have shown up and are swimming south along our coast. There's also large model Striped Bass (must be within 3 miles and 28" to 31"). If you do not see a trip that suites your needs please get in touch and I will create a custom trip for you.

Make the most of your time in Ocean City and go fishing with Running Tide Charters. Captain Vince or Captain Philomena will be your guide, so you'll benefit from our years of knowledge and experience.

Our waters are known for Flounder, Tautog, Sheepshead, Striped Bass,  Bluefish, Spotted Seatrout, Gray Sea Trout (Weakfish), Black Drum, Red Drum, Black Seabass, Gray Triggerfish, Spanish Mackerel, Spadefish, Mahi Mahi, and more.
With any luck, you'll find out for yourself! During the trip, you might be drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, spinning, popping, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure?  Kids are absolutely welcome!

Your boat for the day is a 25' World Cat catamaran with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials including rods, reels, bait, tackle, and license.

A deckhand will usually be on each trip and works for tips. The customary minimum tip is 20% depending on your appreciation of their effort.

Just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray) and snacks if desired. Bottled water is provided as part of the trip, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. please avoid glass bottles.
