At Fin-Atics in Ocean City Justin brought word bass are on the prowl throughout the area especially down at Sea Isle beaches and the south end near Corson’s Inlet with some black drum showing up as well. The North End action is also hot with shads and plugs for bass while bluefish to 10 pounds and up randomly cruising through Corson’s every day. Be on the lookout for sheepshead both off the piers and rockpiles and even in the surf. Fluke has been decent but a consistent bite is hard to find with the fluctuating water temps off the Beer Pier and 9th Street bridge.

Brady at Fin-Atics reports that anglers again made the most of the sloppy weather week and found some decent flounder action in the back bay. Fishing early in the morning and ducking out of the wind were the two ingredients that made for successful trips. Live minnows and small strip baits accounted for the majority of the catch which included several keepers to 22 inches plus a monster back bay doormat tapping out at 26 inches.

John of Fin-Atics in Ocean City said the north end of Ocean City has been a hot spot for stripers as glide baits worked during the night hours to hang fish. Corson’s Inlet beachfront was a good area to toss clams out to score with bass as well as black drum. Inside Corsons SP Minnows worked better to connect with stripers as well as a few weakfish. A couple of bluefish to 6 pounds were also reported in the inlet. Fluke fishing was just OK to start off the Beer Pier and other 9th Street bridges.
