The fish Ocean City anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Ocean City is Maryland's offshore capital — the canyons off the coast (the Poor Man's, Baltimore and Washington) are a legendary summer run for white and blue marlin, bigeye and yellowfin tuna, and the town hosts the richest billfish tournament in the world. Closer in, the Ocean City Inlet and the back bays produce flounder, striped bass and bluefish, and the Route 50 bridge is a classic land-based striper spot. Tautog fishing on the wrecks and reefs holds up through the cold months.
