We're off to a great start for the season, inshore the flounder, bluefish, striped bass, sheepshead, black drum have all shown up and are waiting for you... we're having mild temps in the 50's at night and 70's during the day... making this the most comfortable time of the year... nearshore has been providing drop and wind action for seabass and we're expecting the flounder fishing to improve on the wrecks and reefs in the coming weeks. Now's the time to get out and fish... see you on the water.

Short ride in the bay with a little wind and fog.. fish didnt mind... caught a few tog with two nice males for dinner..

Time to start thinking about booking that charter fishing trip in ocean city... although we have a few more weeks of cool temps as the water warms the fish will be responding... We should begin seeing inshore tautog start to eat after a cold slumber... and I suspect flounder are making their way back towards the bays as the days get longer. looking forward to an abundant 2026 fishing year!

Water temps are solid in the 50's and the Tog are chewing... can't catch them from the couch, so get in touch with me and lets get you out on the water to make the report! The large model in the cover picture of this report was measured at 32.5 inches and 20lbs... fish of a lifetime... many others in the 5lb to 8lb range...

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...

For the last 3 weeks the flounder have been snapping... shaping up to be a great start to the 2025 fishing season....
