Today in Berlin, high tide arrives at 10:12 AM (2.6 ft) and again at 10:27 PM (1.9 ft), and low tide bottoms out at 3:39 AM (0.4 ft) and again at 4:40 PM (0.7 ft). That's a 2.2-foot swing — a gentle neap-cycle swing, so focus on dawn and dusk rather than mid-tide current.
The sun rises at 6:39 AM and sets at 4:49 PM, under a waxing crescent (12% illuminated). Tidal range is in the middle of its two-week cycle.
Tomorrow starts with a low tide at 4:22 AM (0.6 ft) — see the 7-day outlook below to plan the week.

Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current Maryland DNR regulations before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
Tautog (Blackfish)
Tautoga onitis
Season: Spring and fall, as water warms and cools (check regs)
Baits: Green crabs, Asian shore crabs, Fiddler crabs
Tog live in the rocks and eat crabs. Fish a crab on a short leader tight to the bottom against a jetty, wreck or rock pile, and expect to lose rigs. Slack and slow current make it far easier to keep a bait in the strike zone without snagging.
Bluefish
Pomatomus saltatrix
Season: Spring and fall runs along the beach; summer offshore
Baits: Cut menhaden, Metal spoons and jigs, Topwater plugs
When blues are blitzing bait in the surf you will see birds working and bait spraying; throw a metal or a popper into it. Wire or heavy mono leader, because they bite through everything else and through each other. Bleed and ice them immediately if you plan to eat them.
Black Sea Bass
Centropristis striata
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid, Clams, Small jigs
A structure fish: rocks, wrecks, reefs, jetties and pilings. Drop a high-low rig or a small jig straight down and keep it just off the bottom. Bigger fish sit deeper; inshore jetties and piers hold plenty of smaller ones.
Summer Flounder (Fluke)
Paralichthys dentatus
Season: Late spring through early fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid strips, Live killifish (minnows), Gulp! swimming mullet
Drift or slowly retrieve a bait along sandy and gravel bottom near channel edges, inlets and drop-offs. Moving water is everything: fluke face into the current and ambush bait, so a slack tide usually means a slow bite. Bounce the bottom and give a second before setting the hook.

Surf Rods
Daiwa FT Surf Spinning Rod — 10', 2-Piece Medium
Ten feet is the length most surfcasters land on: enough to clear the first break and keep a bait out past it, still short enough to cast all day without your…

Line & Leader
Sufix 832 Advanced Superline Braid — 20 lb, 300 yd
Seven HMPE fibers plus one GORE Performance Fiber, braided at 32 picks per inch. The GORE fiber is what makes this line quiet through the guides and stubborn…

Terminal Tackle
Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Offset Circle Sea Hook — 4/0, 50-Pack
The circle hook does the work for you: no strike, just let the rod load and the hook finds the corner of the jaw on its own.

Rod & Reel Combos
Daiwa D-Wave Saltwater Spinning Combo — 8 ft, 2-Piece Medium
Eight feet is the honest middle: long enough to keep line above the wash on a gentle beach, short enough to fish from a pier or a boat without apologising to anyone.
