Surfing & Surf Fishing · Ocean City, Maryland

How does surf fishing work on Ocean City beaches?

Answer

Surf anglers cast from the sand into the Atlantic for species that vary by season, using baits and rigs suited to waves and currents. Stay clear of guarded swim areas when separation is posted, and mind hooks around walkers. Maryland fishing license rules apply for most anglers.
