In the winter are rockfish in the bay or do i have better luck surfcasting the ocean then what lures would i use.

I’m off work this tuesday and wednesday and want to head to Ocean City MD I know I can go for Tog is there any chance and tips to catch rockfish or bluefish and where in OC. I have white swim baits, spoons, diamond jig, or should i use cut bait

I am not necessarily new to the area but I am new to the fishing scene around here. For reference, i live in the DC area. I am mostly familiar with fishing in Florida saltwater so this is a completely foreign land to me. I could use some guidance when it comes to the equipment you guys think I should use that wont break my bank and maybe some tips on where and how to fish on starting up. Thanks again for the help!

Just wondering if it’s frozen over and how thick if so if there’s anyone that lives on/near it. It’s a bit of a drive for me so I can’t just really go out and check but it’s one of my favorite spots to fish out of my boat. Thanks.

Spots like cash lake lake artemisia ain’t working and it’s winter this sucks

Rod Holder I created

Tried to catch some bass today, way too cold for that.

Hey, I’d like to take my nephew trout fishing this weekend typically I use a dock rod with either a split shot or a spinner gonna rig him up the same, is anywhere stocking in the area right now only see a 2024 schedule. Would be willing to drive about two hours from Baltimore county, closer would be great but also want to make sure I can land little man a few trout. Last but not least I have my Maryland trout stamp would buy a pa stamp if needed but is the trout season even open right now. Not trying to get a ticket especially in front of him. Thanks in advance.

Any good spots in my area/techniques for fishing in the wintertime?

Im pretty new to fishing, started around summer but got busy during the fall and was wondering if I can fish with the weather currently in montgomery county? if so where?

For fishing at Mariner point park do you need a tidal or non tidal fishing license?

Hello everyone! I am a Med student currently on a study block for one of the hardest exams I will likely ever take. I picked up fishing on my rotations but have a lot to learn. Honestly, I pretty much don't know anything. If any of you master baiters go fishing around MoCo can I tag along and learn from you?

1. What do I want to catch? My wife likes to cook whatever I catch so something sizable that tastes decent. I've only ever had crappie and catfish from freshwater fishing so not sure what else is worth eating but those two are fine by me!

2. What equipment do I have? I have a travel 6'6 Uglystik GX2 and a Mitchell 300 spinning reel that a nice fishermen gave me because I broke the spinning reel the GX2 came with on accident (lol). I basically don't have anything else (was mostly squid jigging in Seattle on my rotations and that doesn't require much equipment).

From my understanding, winter fishing is pretty tough and MoCo has limited fishing locations but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach!

I’ve got some white rage swimmers and am looking to get some jig heads for them. Can someone give me a suggestion. I’m looking for some 1/8th and 1/4 oz and also want to know what other baits are good with jig heads.

I’m struggling to find good spots for bass fishing, or really anything that’s not fished like crazy. I’m new to the area and have been to Lake Roland and Loch Raven. Got skunked there in the fall. Anyone know of any good areas to pond hop. I also want to try and fish gunpowder falls. Anyone have any tips for that and best spots of gunpowder falls.

I grew up in PA and remember my dad's license always being about the size of a gift card that he would slide into a plastic holder, pinned on a hat. Visible, simple, aesthetic.

Does MD have any compact way to display an ID like this? A crumpled, slightly damp piece of printer paper at the bottom of my bag feels kinda lame.

So I'm trying to get back to the whole fly fishing thing and after an unsuccessful trip to the Little Patuxent River around Savage Mill on Sunday, I'm looking for some other recommendations of places to try out

I'm not picky in terms of species (I've had tons of fun in the past catching fallfish), but trout are always high on the list.

Right now I'm waderless (they're on order), so I'm confined to the banks since I don't feel like free wading in freezing cold water.

Does anyone have any suggestions of winter fly fishing locations?

As the title says I haven’t had any luck recently. I hit the gunpowder each time around masemore rd and glencoe rd and the most action I got was seeing a fish.

I’ve been using a san juan worm and wooly bugger

I’m just not sure on what parts of a river would have fish, how to hit them and what to do with the fly when it’s in the water etc.

I am relatively new to fly fishing so any advice is appreciated

does anyone know if trout fishing is any good this time of the year in patasco?

I’ve never been able to catch a trout in my fly rod, only spinners any recommendations for spots in montgomery county?

I've been checking the dnr website for almost 2 months and they haven't stocked any new location with trout. Kinda bummed out, anyone know when they will start again?

Folks, I am looking for a rather encompassing checklist of fish that inhabit Maryland, from chubs to rockfish if that makes sense.

My goal is to cross out as many of these fish as I can in a year (not counting saltwater fish).

Does anybody either have one or know of where I can find one?
