At Fin-Atics in Ocean City Brady reported that bluefish of 5 to 8 pounds were caught on mullet and bunker in the past week. Sporadic shots of stripers are also showing up along the shores with clams working best. Blackfishing has been ok but should pick up more at spots at the Longport Pier and 9th Street bridge Beer Pier.

Stripers and tog were keeping things going this week in Ocean City according to Bill at Fin-Atics. A few stripers were caught from the beach, but most of the action has been centered around the back bay shallows where anglers report seeing plenty of bait. The stripers are sticking tight to the sod banks and are being caught on soft plastic jerkbaits and larger Gulp grubs, up to 6 inches, fished on 3/8-ounce leadheads. Most of the fish are falling between 20 and 28 inches. Tog have also been a back bay target for anglers fishing the deeper sod bank drops and the bridges. Green crabs fished on tog jigs have been working for fish to 17 inches and anglers tell us that the dead low tide has seen the best action, especially for keeper size fish.

At Fin-Atics in Ocean City there were some stripers caught on clams out front which were the first oceanside fish reported in a while. Corson’s Inlet is usually a consistent spot to find stripers on soft baits. Blackfish are clinging to the pilings at the Longport Pier and Beer Pier areas with Asian crabs or green crabs fitting the bill.

Fin-Atics reports that things have been a little quiet in Ocean City this week, but a few anglers are finding stripers feeding either in the back bay creeks or even along the surfline. The back bays are seeing schoolie size and smaller fish taking soft plastics from the bridges at night. From the surf, it has been a fresh bunker chunk or clam bite for slightly larger fish to 30 inches.
