At the Ocean City Inlet, fishing for tautog has been good with a pleasant amount of fish measuring above over the required minimum of 16 inches. Male largemouth bass are scouring out spawning beds in the central, southern, and eastern regions, and the cooler western region waters will soon invite the same spawning responses. The large female largemouth bass are staging outside the shallower spawning areas where the beds are located. Blue catfish are active and hungry for anything they can fit in their mouth; almost any type of cut bait will work just fine on them. White perch are plentiful, and many tackle shops are now carrying gizzard shad as well as menhaden. |
