The Ocean City, Maryland fall fishing season is beginning, and the recent nor’easter may have helped kickstart the October striped bass bite. Taylor from Always Bent Fishing joins Fishing the DMV to break down the latest Ocean City fishing report, what happened to the summer bite, where stripers are beginning to show up, and what anglers should expect around Ocean City Inlet, Route 50 Bridge, Assateague, Chincoteague and the surrounding Eastern Shore waters.
We cover the transition from summer into fall fishing, including striped bass, flounder, red drum, bluefish, tog, sheepshead, triggerfish and several other species that have been showing up around Ocean City.
Taylor also explains some of his most reliable techniques for anglers fishing the area, including:
• How the October striped bass migration develops around Ocean City
• Why the nor’easter could accelerate the fall bite
• Fishing Route 50 Bridge and Ocean City Inlet current
• Why ¾-ounce to 1½-ounce jig heads may be necessary in heavy current
• Paddle-tail techniques for striped bass and flounder
• Bucktail and Gulp combinations for Ocean City flounder
• Why old-school spec rigs can still catch stripers, bluefish and flounder
• Assateague surf fishing opportunities
• Red drum opportunities around Chincoteague and Tom’s Cove
• What happened with Ocean City’s offshore tuna and billfish season
• Fall and winter opportunities for stripers and tog
We also discuss the incredible storm flooding around Ocean City, unusual shark activity, cobia and other warm-water species moving unusually far north, wreck fishing, surf fishing and what anglers should watch for as water temperatures continue to fall.
If you're planning an October or fall fishing trip to Ocean City, Maryland, this conversation gives you a practical look at what is happening now and how to approach the changing seasonal bite.
