What anglers said about fishing in Ocean City

It's fishing, not catching, because no two days are the same and you just see what you get with all of the variables that affect the outcome. There are a lot of options to catch, and it's a great place to fish, especially having the Bay and Ocean to choose from.

Booking a charter to learn the ropes of how to fish the Bay Area, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our Captain was awesome at explaining everything we were doing and what. Know what fish are around the time you are visiting (can’t catch a species that aren’t there!), and enjoy the whole experience!

Check in with your captain and try to plan your trip. They are experts and know what days and times would be best. Bring drinks and snacks. If your trip is later in the day, pack a light blanket or sweater.

In August the temps can get very cold at night on the boat pack a hoodie and sweatpants to pull over your shorts. Also if you’ve never been on a boat pack closed bottle drinks and wear shoes that don’t leave marks on the deck. Snacks that don’t make a mess when eating. Be respectful of the boat. If you don’t know ask the Captain before booking and let them know the dates you have available incase of bad weather.

If you're heading out mainly to fish, I'd recommend checking water conditions or getting some local tips first.

I recommend trying a few different charters starting with the party boat charters then go to the private charters. Try a few different charters out until you find one you like and will want to go back to.

Bring non drowsy Dramamine and ginger ale- even though our captain was well prepared and had cold ginger ale on hand when my daughter got a little motion sickness. Really helped her and she was able to continue fishing.

Book with Captain Kane. If you want to really get out and catch different species go for a full day, if you just want to target 1 or 2 types a half day is good too!

Try to plan ahead unlike me so you go out when conditions are better for whatever you were trying to catch. Or at least as best as they can be for that time of year.

Find an experienced captain (and crew if included) that’s highly experienced. Always keep expectations low because we’ve done several excursions in the Carolina’s and Florida where we might catch fish, sometimes nothing at all and rarely fish that are legal and can be taken home.
