Scup

Scup

Various

Ocean City, Maryland, offers solid scup fishing, particularly in and around the Sinepuxent and Assawoman Bays. These back bays provide ideal habitat for scup, with plenty of structure and food sources. The best time to fish for scup here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are optimal. Consider drifting along the channels and edges of the bay, or anchoring near bridges and docks. A practical tip: use a bottom fishing rig with small hooks baited with clam or squid. The Route 50 bridge and the Ocean City Inlet are popular spots, but can get crowded. Try exploring some of the less-frequented areas for a more peaceful experience. While scup aren't the largest fish in the sea, the abundance of them in Ocean City's waters ensures a fun and productive fishing trip.
