Hey gang,

I've searched the forum and saw that there hasn't been a post about OC in a number of years... time for another discussion!

I have had poor luck in general fishing the salt around OC. I've tried flounder fishing, fishing back bays of Ocean Pines, fishing the inlet, fishing the surf on Assateague... one tiny bluefish and nothing else to show for my efforts. Lately I've taken to going over to Crisfield to fish the shallow grass beds and had some success with that last year. 

Does anyone have a lead on a good bass lake??? 

But seriously, I would love to get into saltwater fish too. Any insight would be appreciated. I do need to go up to DE and check out the Indian River Inlet.

I just spent 2 weeks fishing the beach in Rehoboth.  The surf is dead right now.  I fished indian river inlet and decent luck on spinning gear with artificial and real bloodworms.  I caught croaker, black sea bass and shad.  I tried the fly when it appeared that blue fish were chasing bait within casting distance but did not get a hit.  

Since we have a family house down there that always needs "work" I go down thru the fall.  I am much more familiar with Rehoboth and Lewes area and can point out some spots.  

If you are into carp, there is no better place than Silver Lake in Rehoboth.  You will get shot after shot after shot.  I go there when the surf is tough.  Silvan's fly is the ticket.  @jeffsivan

That's a great lead on the carp lake, thanks!! Jeff, whats the fly Nedak is talking about?

Indian River always has something around esp. on moving tides.  Definitely better  suited to spin gear though. Used to throw a big spoon with the treble hook replaced with a heavy leader to a hook with a live minnow. The spoon lets you cast far enough to reach the current rip where the fish are. Caught lots of blues and shad that way. Bottom fishing from the jetties will get you snagged most of the time.

I use the Rusher's Steelhead Nymph in lime green. It's buggy looking and has high visibility, so the take is easy to see.
