Fishing in Ocean City

Ocean City, New Jersey, offers exceptional year-round fishing adventures where the Atlantic Ocean and back bays converge. This prime location provides diverse angling experiences, from sheltered bay excursions to thrilling offshore trips. Families and seasoned anglers alike enjoy access to abundant species: target Striped Bass, Flounder, and Tautog in the inshore waters, or venture offshore for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Swordfish.

Charters accommodate all preferences with trips ranging from 2-hour bay explorations to 14-hour deep-sea expeditions. Family-friendly charters typically focus on calmer inshore waters, while extended offshore journeys cater to big-game enthusiasts. Local captains provide expert guidance, top-tier equipment, and knowledge of prime fishing grounds for a successful outing.

Freshwater anglers require a New Jersey license for ages 16+, while saltwater trips mandate registration with the state's recreational registry. Ocean City's reputation as "America's Greatest Family Resort" extends to its well-equipped charters, ensuring safe, memorable experiences for all skill levels in these nutrient-rich waters.

Ocean City Fishing Seasons

January

Not sure how to start the year off right? Treat yourself with Striped Bass! They’re hungry and waiting for you to snatch them! Those keener on landing Sharks might be lucky enough to brag with a few photos with Mako Sharks.

February

This is the time for Scup to shine. While Scup might not be your first choice, bear in mind that they’re easy to catch and kids will find them exciting – and your taste buds will thank you for catching them, too.

March

March brings choices. With Amberjack and Flounder slowly entering the scene, and Mako Sharks and Crabs going strong, you won’t be short of options. If you haven’t tried your luck with Crabs yet, early spring is the perfect time to change that.

April

Now that you’ve got the hang of pursuing Mako Sharks, Amberjacks, and Crabs, you can gradually expand your fishing experience by targeting species like Tautog, Bluefish, and Weakfish. And don’t be fooled by its name because Weakfish can put up a good fight.

May

With warmer temperatures, more species are starting to emerge. Flounder, Sharks, and Bluefish are steadily picking up, whereas Amberjack and Weakfish are reaching their peak. But the real sensation is the local favorite – Black Seabass!

June

Early summer proudly introduces the world-famous prized catch – Bluefin Tuna! This admirable fish is quite a challenge to pull out of the water due to its size, and is widely sought-after thanks to its delicious meat. If you’re a fan of both, now’s your chance to go after them.

July

Summer is here and headliners are thriving. The waters are brimming with Flounder, Wahoo, Amberjack, Black Seabass, Bluefin Tuna, and Spotted Seatrout. However, the absolute winner in the picture-perfect category is Mahi Mahi and their season is blooming. 

August

Mahi Mahi travel in schools and warm temperatures bring them in packs. They’re mostly located by trolling. While easy to spot, don’t expect an easy way out as they’ll put up a strong fight. Good-looking, feisty and tasty, Mahi Mahi are worth the hype.

September

Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Amberjack, and Spotted Seatrout are still at their peak, but soon they’ll clear the way for the other species. Early fall might be your last chance to make some good fishing memories while chasing after big names like Blue and White Marlin.

October

The right temperature caters to the needs of many species and waters are still abundant with fish. Wherever you cast your line, you can expect to catch something, but Black Seabass will stand out. For the next few weeks, they’ll take over these waters.

November

Winter brings new excitement, but old names, too. While Black Seabass and Tautog are dominating the area, Sharks and Crabs are making a comeback. Passionate Striped Bass anglers will also be pleased to see their favorite bouncing back.

December

Ocean City fishing season is slowly toning down. But this doesn’t mean you’ll be left hanging. Striped Bass and Black Seabass are at their finest and under no circumstances are you to miss out on them!
