In many areas of Maryland, the larger chain pickerel have finished spawning or are close to being finished. Once this occurs, they will aggressively feed to build body stores back up. Look for the large chain pickerel in more open waters near structure. Anglers are urged to use single inline hooks on their lures to limit gill damage to these aggressive fish. White perch are offering plenty of enjoyable fishing in the lower sections of the tidal river and creeks. They have moved into some of the typical locations anglers expect to see them during the summer. Flounder continue to move through the Ocean City Inlet towards the back bay waters. The inlet and channels leading from the inlet are good locations to target them. |
