Yup
Next month hitting NY for Salmon fishing
Sea Bass?
Yesterday I went out of Ocean City for marlin. This was my first time deep sea fishing. 6 of us on the boat as the fishermen. I went as a guest of my son who was invited as a perk through his employment.
We got skunked. 2 hits on the bait but neither fish was hooked. Interesting experience but being on the water from 5am until 6:30 pm and never touching a rod not really my thing. I would prefer drifting for flounder any day.
Can't complain too much as the trip was free.

This is my first season doing any fishing besides bottom rigs off the pier for perch. I've been doing a lot of jigging around Thomas Point LH and chasing the birds around from the bay bridge to Sharpes Island LH. This is my biggest rock at 23inches. Any one want to offer some jigging tips or locations I should could try.

Nice fish. Congrats. You sound like you may be doing the right thing. There are a lot of small fish out there and you will likely find that you will catch 15-20 small ones before a keeper though the bigger ones will be back as we enter the fall.
If you are not all ready, try using a 1/2 to 1 oz jig head with 6" shad on them. Try white, chartreuse and various colors till you see what they like. If you are in the birds try some top water lures for some neat strikes as the fish jump. Try some Gulp baits as well. The rock seem to love them. Big bait, big fish (if the big ones are around). If you have a fish finder search for structure. Slack tides lack fish...usually.
When jigging, I find the most luck when I let the lure drop to the bottom, let it sit for a few seconds and then start with a few sharp tugs with a slack line. That way it doesn't move the lure that far, but the action on the lure is noticeable. Settle it and then repeat as you bring the line in.
Since you aren't far away, try the top of love point and look for the drop off from 7-24 feet.
