The jetty at Ocean City is a well known fishing spot. The jetty protrudes east into the ocean and westerly into the bay. The structure is composed of large rocks and can be quite a treacherous place to fish. The inlet current is brisk and this is not a place to fall in. The inlet itself has some rocks along the bottom and angler can expect to to loose some equipment.

A couple features of the jetty are worth noting. On the east end, there is some turbulent water which can contain bluefish, rockfish and trout. Some anglers cast artificials here with success. From the east tip back along the jetty some anglers fish for tautog among the rocks with crab or sand flea baits.

Towards the middle of the jetty Harrison's Harbor Watch restaurant's lights shine down on the jetty. At night this sets up a feeding station as small baitfish gather in the lights. Trout, bluefish and rockfish gather below and the action can be fast at times. Anglers cast artificials here and flyrodders seem to do exceptionally well here.

On the west end is an often overlooked area. Here an eddy forms and baitfish will take shelter there. Flounder and other will congregate along this area. Also tautog and other fish will be found around the rocks and rip rap on both sides of the jetty.

The jetty is at the extreme southern end of Ocean City at approximately 38 19.45 N 075 05.120 W.
