Fall Fishing at it's finest
Fall Fishing at it's finest
Oct 5, 2025 Ocean City
with 70 degree days and cooling nights, the fish are starting to behave like winter is on the way... The flounder are cooperating and moving into the deeper channels and the Tautog are finally getting hungry... looking forward to a beautiful fall season, hoping to meet some new anglers aboard Running Tide Charters...

Bay fishing continues to be excellent for catch and release. Keeper flounder have been tough to come by this year, especially with our regulation changes from 16" to 17.5" minimum length. Bluefish continue to show up around the jetties, bridges, and shoals. Tautog and Sheepshead have been on the scarce side but expecting to pickup soon... Nearshore reefs are loaded with flounder and providing a fun day in the ocean when the weather cooperates.

Jun 23, 2024 Ocean City
Weather has been warm but the wind keeps coming... the SW is ok for bay fishing as long as there isn't too much grass and mud... clean water makes summertime fishing good... stained water makes it tough and we have to fish much harder to catch. Flounder and bluefish are still main target, with tautog fishing opening back up on July 1 we will be targeting tautog and sheepshead...
