You should go into Garden City Bait and Tackle and ask them. I'm in Maryland and love Surf Fishing.
I'm sure something is out there waiting for you. It's been kind of dead around here. Water up here is 48f and slowly ridding. Maybe you already read this if not check it out. I remember watching a video a while back. I think it was by the salt strong people fishing in S.C. They were catching allot of reds using fiddler crabs. Which they also caught by them.

Have you tried. https://www.lake-link.com/Indiana-Fishing-Reports/report.cfm/79228/Northern-Indiana/

Probably have.

White Perch is at the bottom, this site has allot of information on different fish. Doesn't necessarily apply to only Maryland.

I see some good suggestions here, I used to live in Matawan. Another place you can consider is Manasquan inlet. Where it meets the Atlantic. It's been many many years things change.

Check out app FishVerify Florida On Google play. I'll check a couple other places.

I don't believe there is one, but many individual states do example Texas. You didn't have a location filled out in your profile. I was going to check for you.

I'm a big paddletail fan, I have them from 3-5 inches. This is one of my favorite rigs to put them on In the spring and fall. It catches more than just flounders.

Don't feel bad, I'm just up north from you. I went out yesterday to three different locations and a few different spots in each. I tried shrimp 'dead', gulp live crab natural 2" and blood worms. Not to mention a couple lures with fishbites 'shrimp'. The water was about 43f so I worked them extra slow and I tried other speeds as well. Bottom line, not a single bite, hey it happens.

Thanks,
I think if I do it again, I will do it when other people are there.

I hear ya, I'm only 59, I have a few disk they fused together with cadavers bones. My major arteries from my heart down to my legs are synthetic tubing. I got brave today and walked out onto the jetty stones, not to the end, about 2 tenths of the way. I'll never do that again. Had issues when casting. Went to a couple other spots, no bites. But neither did anyone else. But like u I was determined to keep going. :) Hang in there buddy...

Why can't they make location a mandatory field. If they put in a false one and receive inaccurate information to help them. They have no one to blame but themselves.

You can consider a couple things, store it next to an outlet get a decent electric mouse repellent. Buy cheap steel wool and fill any place they can get in, they hate it.

I'm down in Ocean City a MD. Last year they started migrating from the Chesapeake Bay to head up north somewhere around early May. Lol, it can't come soon enough, hours seem like days waiting for them.

I can't remember all the ones for Maryland, let alone 3 more states. I hope it helps you out. It will first go by your GPS location, but I think you could add the others manually.

I came across a free app on Google Play store Fishing Rules. I created a free account and it pulled my GPS location. It then gave a listing of all fish in red and black lettering. I noticed the fish names in red had restrictions. Then I went thru the list selected the common fish in my area and marked as favorites.

Then opened the filter and changed it to only show my favorites. You can always add/remove fish. I then bounced that information against the Department of Natural Resources in Maryland, they were all correct, even the new Striper's regulations posted yesterday. The app has other features and is also available for Apple products.

Notes from the app.
