We are having some difficulties with the website fishing report posts! Those will be back up and running soon! Today a day filled with tuna and dolphin when our fleet began to arrive back at the docks. An impressive 28 pound dolphin was landed aboard the "Foolish Pleasures" with Captain Dale Lisi along with 24 other nice sized dolphin and a report of a white marlin release! (photo)Captain Jeremy Shandrowski on the "Playmate" returned with 3 yellowfin. A total of 7 yellowfin were in the box for the crew aboard the "Moore Bills" with Captain Rob Skillman at the helm. On a 1/2 day inshore Captain Jeremy Blunt on the "Blood, Sweat & Tears" filled the box with bluefish and ran into some sharks releasing 4 spinner and a n Atlantic sharpnose. Captain Mark Sampson on the "Fish Finder" had a successful day of sharking returning with a total of 7 Atlantic Sharpnose between his two trips and reports of releasing other species of shark such as Blacktip and Spinner. The "Bay Bee" had a day full of throwbacks and 2 keepers in the afternoon trip. Captain Nick Clemente on the "Get Sum" lead his crew to 5 keepers among plenty of throwbacks today. Overall the fishing is great right now don't miss your opportunity to fish with Ocean City's Premier Charter Fleet!
If you have any questions or would like to make a reservation please feel free to give us a call or stop on in we would love to hear from you!

07/29/13 Out with a couple from MD for a day of offshore action. After spending about an hour working the big hill for bluefin, I decide to work back inshore a couple miles and look at another smaller hill these fish will hide on. Just before we go up the hill our short rigger get nailed, a couple minutes later we put a 20 lb. yellowfin in the box. A couple passes over the hill and we have a 65 lb. bluefin in the box too. Looking for something our lady angler can crank on we troll south looking for a mahi or two. Spent the last couple hours working a small area on the 30 fathom line and going 1 of 2 on mahi as well as adding two more small yellowfin to the box.
07/28/13 Looking for fish with a crew who did not want to chunk for bluefin. After trying to get a bite among the chunking fleet without any success we run east looking for some gear that was present the last two years. The bottom gear is gone but I spot a long line set and work those balls which yields a couple bites and a few mahi in the box. Troll back inside to a few hills just south of the bluefin hole and manage to capture one more mahi and a small yellowfin.
07/27/13 Cancelled due to a broken throttle cable.
07/26/13 Today began at 2:30 am standing at the inlet calling the guys and telling them the wind has layed-out but the ocean’s still angry so I think we should wait a while before heading out. At 7 am we head out with bait on board for flounder fishing as well as tuna bait if we decide to keep rolling east. After 16 miles I as the guy what they’d like to do, flounder is the call. Spent a few hours drifting for those tasty flatties but dirty water and cold temps really put a damper on the bite. After 4 hours we had 7 fish in the box as well as releasing some that were just under the limit.

Another steller day on the Moore Bills. Traveled around some epic lightning storms early morning to land in the Washington Canyon for the early bite with lone spreader bar and big boy green stick in action. Landed a healthy white marlin within the first 10 minuets of trolling, almost to to excite the young crew nursing last nights misadventures on land. The day continued with non stop action! Estimated over 60 Yellowfin with a couple skippies in the mix. The crew was in constant motion all day. Anglers were in full participation with direction from Captain Rob and 1st mate Steve. First time gaffers and first time offshore ladies played part in an exciting day laying tracks throughout the canyon many miles from the land of funnel cake and parking meters. Once outside ( About 60 Miles), life was abundant, pilot wales were feeding and swimming around the boat every second of the day (no exaggeration !!!) . For the first timers and the experienced anglers it was a show not to be matched by any documentary! The green stick provided a days worth of entertainment and worked the overworked throughout the day. Resetting lines and drilling in on the fish, Captain Rob and Steve proved there weight in fish and experience. Anglers watched the action as tuna boiled and hit the rigs over and over. Lines peeled off, anglers danced a clumbsy waltz ducking and switching places like a game of leap frog. 1st mate Captain Steve was the ref and worked the crew like a well oiled machine as head honcho Captain Rob rolled forward with a mission. Anglers rotated through each cover up and chilled in the AC when it was time to tag off . A highlight of the day provided an arial show and a mangled up unlucky yellowfin when an estimated 400 ld blue marlin charged the already hooked tuna and than took flight! All in all another high energy day on the Moore Bills. Visit moorebilles.com to see the full video, another day in the near future...

Fishing Report by Sue Foster
Some good flounder fishing this week in Ocean City. We got the pictures
to prove it! Kingfish and spot in the surf, along with big rays and sand
sharks. Red Drum are still being caught up around the Fenwick Ditch
near the Bridge pilings along with some good sized croaker. Flounder
fishing is picking up offshore. Sea bass fishing is happening. Further
offshore we have tuna, wahoo, marlin, and dolphin. Crabbing and clamming
has been decent.
Oyster Bay is now open summertime hours 6 A.M. till 10 P.M. daily.
Fenwick Tackle is open 7 A.M. till 10 P.M. Daily. E-mail Sue Foster at:
mailto:sue@oysterbaytackle.com. online mall is open. We sell
MD licenses and 2013 boat stickers at our Oyster Bay and Fenwick Tackle
locations. De Licenses are sold at our DEL location. IF YOU WANT A
BOAT FISHING LICENSE PLEASE TELL US THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE
COUNTER. Voids are no joy! For DEL boat fishing licenses you MUST
bring in a current boat registration and a driver's license. (For MD
boat stickers, all you need is a driver's license.)
MD fishing licenses are really quick and easy once you're in the system.
If you have last year's MD license, bring it in with you, and all we
have to do is punch in the DNR ID number. Otherwise, bring in your
Driver's License.
(BTW, There's a mistake in the MD Fishing Guide about clamming. If you
are out of state it IS legal for you to catch clams in Worcester Co. The
state fixed the mistake online, but of course, thousands of Guides were
already printed! I have had several e-mails about this.)
The Bulkhead at 2nd thru 4th Street is a free fishing zone. You can
fish here without a MD license but you still need to obtain a free
registry. We can do that for you at Oyster Bay Tackle or call
1-855-855-3906. Keeper flounder can be caught there if you are patient
and fish the slacking tides. When the tide is moving hard, fish
straight down. It's plenty deep! If you cast out during a hard running
tide, you will constantly get hung up! Anglers can also catch little
sea bass, spot, croaker, bluefish, tautog, puppy drum and trigger fish.
The Ocean Pier is another place you can fish without a MD License. This
week the pier continued to have good catches of kingfish along with
croaker, spot, trout, puppy drum, snapper blues, flounder, sharks and
rays. You can catch anything on the pier that you can catch from the
surf. There were definitely lots of rays and sharks this week!

It's been a great year in the surf for kingfish(whiting) and spot." A
kingfish rig (small hooks) with a combination bait of bloodworm or
Fishbite bloodworm with a little strip of squid or any kind of cut bait
will catch you kingfish, spot, and small trout. Not much large stuff to
catch unless you want sharks and big rays. They are there!
Hammy posted on Stripers Online about Sunday: "Another beautiful day at
AI! And no bugs for the second straight day! Again, we caught about 20
fish in all in 4 hours including 6 kingfish for dinner, some spot, a
blowfish, a bluefish, and 4 dogfish sharks!"
Spanky posted on Stripers Online about Saturday: "Assateague Island
Saturday, lots of spot, 1 small flounder, some kings and one giant ray
that almost took my Ballistic/Stella setup into the ocean had my wife
not of said something. Put up a good 10 minute fight. Awesome watching
my 7 year old daughter reeling in 2 spot at a time!"
"Hammy" posted on Stripers Online on Friday: "We had a great day on the
beach at AI yesterday, catching about 20 fish in 2.5 hours. We got a
bite nearly every cast, catching a mix of dogfish, kingfish, spot,
blowfish, and even a striper at about 20 inches.
All of the dogfish were between 8-12 inches, and looked as if they were
just born. Anyone know when they give birth? We caught 11 total sharks
in all."
"Yianni" of Oyster Bay Tackle has been surf fishing most mornings in
North Ocean City. He's been catching spot on bloodworms or Fishbite
Bloodworms, then cutting them up and catching some nice sized kingfish!"
I like to use a piece of bloodworm or Fishbites and add a small strip of
cut bait such as that fresh caught spot when I fish for kings!
Many anglers ask about reading the beach when surf fishing. "Poppy" a
very good angler has posted another very good description with pictures
on Stripers Online. Check it out: http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=537410&highlight=Reading+Water He draws it out
completely! If you're not catching fish in the surf, you need to study
this!
Our online mall is now open and we have: http://cart.oysterbaytackle.com/automatic-tire-deflators-c-80 We also carry the Oasis Trailhead brand.

Shad, and Got-cha Plug Packages.)
Oyster Bay Tackle and Fenwick Tackle snapped a lot pictures this week!
Tyler Morse from Ocean City, Md caught a 19.75 inch Red Drum using
Bloodworms as bait during the incoming tide around 116th St on the Bay.
Daniel Mattio e-mailed in a picture of Jeff Lentz from York, PA who
caught a 17" keeper in the West Channel. Using minnows for bait it was
caught on the incoming tide.
Kalen Thrane from Boone, Iowa fished with Capt. Jeff aboard Helbent
Charters and caught a nice 19.5 inch Flounder weighing in at 2.5 pounds
using Minnows and Squid combo during the outgoing tide near Bird Island.
Dakota Bittner, from Thurmont, Md caught a 3.2 pound Flounder fishing
the Thorofare using Live Minnows during the Incoming Tide.
7 year old Cory Gibson caught a 18 inch Flounder using Live Minnow and
Squid during the Incoming Tide along the East Channel.
Brian, Linda, and Matthew Brannan fished near the Airport during the
High Tide using Pink and White Gulp and caught a 16 inch and a 19 inch
Flounder. Linda and 3 year old Matthew caught their First Flounder.
Evan Williams and Judy Novak with 2 flounder caught in the bay behind
Assateague (3 pound 8 oz - 21") 2 pounds 13 oz (17.5") on live minnows.
Nate Hampton and Todd Breach caught two 24" Red Drum caught at the Route
90 Bridge.
These pictures are in our http://gallery.oysterbaytackle.com/main.php?g2_itemId=91main.php?g2_itemId=92.
Ed Dorshe e-mailed in his report: "Just back from our yearly flounder
fishing vacation in OC. We fished 4 days, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday and managed to bring home 6 keepers from just over 16 to just
under 20 inches. All were caught on minnow and the best day we had was
Thursday despite the strong northerly winds. We managed 3 keepers (16.5,
17 and 18.5...photo attached of them in the live well) that day while
fishing behind Assateague Island...two near the commercial harbor and
the other near the duck blinds. While we caught plenty of throwbacks all
over from the duck blinds to the Thorofare, our best keeper success was
behind Assateague and near Harbour Island."
J.J. from the Oceanic Pier (410-289-2602) reported an excellent week on
flounder and lots of small fish for the kids to catch. There were a
couple good runs of croaker, lots of spot, some blues and shad picked
up. At night the action has been really good on trout. Some nights they
catch over a hundred. Remember, you are only allowed to keep one!!!
Occasionally someone catches a red drum or a tautog. (You do not need a
fishing license to fish the Oceanic Pier.)
Route 50 Bridge has seen flounder by day along with some snapper blues
and a few trout. At night the fare is bluefish, trout, and some
stripers. Heard some big blues came around the bridge one day last week.
Usually blues come around on an East Wind.
Larry Jock of the http://coastalfisherman.net/ reports on Saturday: "1:20 PM - Jim Simon just stopped
by the office with 3 flounder caught off the North Jetty Wall with live
finger mullet. Fish measured 17", 19" and 20". 1:40 PM - Michele
Goodson from Grasonville, MD stopped by to have her picture taken with
the 23-inch, 4 lb. 14 oz. flounder she caught in the West Channel by
Hooper's Crab House

sorry folks trying to keep up with the fishing report has been tough.We have definitely seen an increase in the number of dolphin in the past week and the tuna fishing has been on fire all week with the exception of Saturday in which there were just to many boats. Double digit catches and bites were the norm including today.We would like to see a few more yellowfins but still hard to complain with the big bluefin tuna we have been seeing. Why watch wicked tuna on TV when you can be part of the action.

Fishing Ocean City Maryland shared Ocean City Fishing Center's status update.
Today we had over 20 boats leave the marina in their search for fish and a majority had luck. Most of our private boats returned today with reports of yellow fin and dolphin after trolling at the canyons. Captain Ed Kauffman on the "Jade II" returned with a report of a white marlin release and a nice blue fin tuna in the box. Aboard the "Foolish Pleasures" Captain Dale Lisi had a good day with 2 dolphin and an impressive yellow fin (photo) that weighed in at 96 pounds and is the current leaderboard holder. Another change in the leaderboard was made in the golden tile fish category. Captain Ron Callis on the "Reel Addicition" shifted the position with his 43 pound golden tilefish (photo), which was among 6 others, and a gaffer dolphin. More yellow fin were seen off of the "Playmate" with Captain Jeremey Shandrowski. A blue marlin estimated around 350 pounds was released today from the "Playtime" with Captain Ron Taylor. The "Blood, Sweat & Tears" with Captain Jeremy Blunt returned from their trip with 2 nice sized dolphin. One of our private boats the "Wayne's World" with Captain Darrin Roe landed an impressive wahoo weighing in at 68 pounds (photo) accompanied by 2 nice gaffer dolphin. Another dolphin and yellow fin were landed off of the "Jet Lag" with Captain Jim Jones. Closer to shore the "All In" with Captain Mark Radcliffe returned with a reports of sea bass and blueline tilefish. Our bay fishing head boat the "Bay Bee" with Captain Cale Layton had 3 keepers on his morning trip, 7 on his afternoon among a multitude of throwbacks. Captain Nick Clemente on the "Get Sum" had 3 keeper flounder on his morning trip. Overall the fishing is still hot!
