Maryland Fishing Reports

Check the weather forecast and plan ahead! We happened to book on a very windy and cold day that was much colder than the annual average for this time of year (second week of May).

I think other than the weather fishing would’ve been a little better, plus going in trophy rock season probably wouldn’t do that again but we did catch some decent size cat fish.

Listen to the Captain, if he does not think it makes sense to go out, reschedule. We were lucky, and had a nice weather day.

Weather is always a crap shoot, but the fish are out there. Its easy to find a great boat to fish with.

Go out with Captain Wally - he's very knowledgeable. You'll have a great time and you'll catch lots of fish!

Ask for the boat “BIFF!!” You will not be disappointed!! I truly found a Captain that cares the fishing and catch and release!

Yes, if this is your first time going out take your motion sickness pills at night and again in the morning. Good luck fishing. Safe seas and plenty of fish, The Moore Family

I would just recommend making sure that the weather is right for you, especially if you are prone to seasickness (ours was great anyway).

We fished in a canal, on the pier, on the Judith M (head boat) and with Sportsfishing East Coast. In all that had more fish than we could eat. A Great trip!!

Stay in-shore, practice with the smaller fishes! Your target should be bottom-feeders and whiting! You will have a great time, for the first time, if you try not to do to much.

Do a bay side fishing trip before you book a all day big fishing trip to make sure you enjoy it.

If you’re hoping for rock fish (or whatever fish) make sure you can catch them. Turns out we missed fishing for rock fish by a day. Disappointing but still had a great time! Yes! We released the rock fish.

Take trip for sea bass easy first time catch, good eating, lots of fun. Don't judge the trip by the size of the boat but the history of the captain.

22nd street, Fish Tails, bay side. On the Run charters. Captain Dave Caffrey.

We had a great day catching sea bass. Not an expert on fishing though, so do your own research before signing on.

Despite it being late in the season, Captain Billy worked hard to make sure that the guys all caught their limit. The first mate took great care of them, and all had a wonderful day on the Bay. Worth every $. Do not hesitate to book!

come prepared - welcome letter from captain addresses everything you need to know about what to expect, and what to bring, etc. (good company, good tunes, good food, sunglasses, stay hydrated) Take the Non-drowsy Dramamine just in case -

Keep your options open because the sea doesn’t have to cooperate with your plans.

Keep an open mind. There are lots of species to be caught. Any day spent fishing is a day well spent.

Check the season of fish first. Rockfish were off season for the first 2 weeks ever on our trip.
