They also reported that Grant Barnhart, who caught that big rockfish from the surf at Fenwick Island on a plug, has caught…

A lot of fish were caught on Sunday including tog, flounder and rockfish. The remainder of the week looks fishable and it’s about time. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Katydid came back from ocean structure3 with 30 tog. Several private boats also came in with good numbers of tog also from ocean…

Small craft advisories were up on Friday, but they will be coming down for the weekend. I called Lewes Harbour Marina and Henlopen Bait and Tackle. Once again, the only one who had heard of a fish being caught was Jordan at Henlopen. He had a few scattered reports of tiny bluefish at Broadkill Beach…

Small craft advisories were up on Thursday and, as I suspected, they will be up again on Friday. I called Lewes Harbour Marina, Old Inlet Bait and Tackle and Henlopen Bait and Tackle. The only one who had heard of a fish being caught was Jordan at Henlopen who said one customer called to tell…

Small craft advisories were up on Wednesday and they will be up all-day Thursday and probably up again on Friday.

Ah spring, summer on Tuesday and back to winter on Wednesday. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said the Katydid had tog and a private boat also found some tog. Baits were green crab and sand fleas. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle the report was excellent shad fish during incoming water at Indian River Inlet.…

It was a blue Monday unless you were catching shad out of Indian River Inlet. That’s according to Old Inlet Bait and Tackle. While hickory shad are not exactly top table fare, they put up a good fight and will take to the air just like their cousins the tarpon. To get the most out…

Saturday saw continued good fishing. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Katydid, the Top Fin and the Savannah Lynn all had good numbers of tog. Sandy Davis had an 8.74-pound tog on the Katydid. Billy Mister caught a 21-inch tog at the Outer Wall on a shrimp. Burt at Hook ‘em and Cook…

Friday spring finally sprung. My son Roger and I fished Indian River Inlet from the north side just west of the bridge. We arrived at 9:30 AM at slack low water and as soon as we had the slightest bit of incoming current the shad bite was on. Roger used a Speck Rig and had…

Thursday was a bit more windy and cooler than called for. Lewes Harbour Marina didn’t see a fish all day as none of their charter or head boats left the dock. Henlopen Bait and Tackle and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle didn’t answer the phone. Patty at Captain Bones did record several freshwater citations. Jymier…

Wednesday was a decent day at the beach and the weather will continue to improve through Friday. Jordan at Henlopen Bait and Tackle had a customer fish from his kayak at the junction of Canary Creek and the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. He used a white bucktail with a white swimbait to catch and release…

If you stepped outside on Monday, you have a pretty good idea why nobody went fishing. Tuesday won’t be much better. I did get a freshwater report from Sunday morning. Ed O’Donnell fished the fly-fishing only section of White Clay Creek and hooked 12 trout, landing eight. He had two browns and six rainbows. The…

There was a small craft advisory up on Sunday and a gale warning is expected on Monday. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter, Passover and Ramadan holiday. Every reporting station I called on Sunday was closed. There will be a major change in the black sea bass regulations beginning on May 15. The minimum size…

Fishing was outstanding on Saturday! Mrs. Taylor at Taylored Tackle said Colt Williamson caught a 9.60-pound snakehead on a spinnerbait out of the Nanticoke River on Saturday. She also reported good white perch fishing at the Laurel spillway and at Phillips Landing. Bloodworms have been the best bait for the perch. At Lewes Harbour Marina…

Fishing was good on Friday. Captain Brent on the Katydid welcomed Tucker Warren Wiest at 7 pounds, 7 ounces to his crew. Congratulations to the Weist family. At Henlopen Bait and Tackle, Jordan had one customer take his kayak out to the Ice Breakers and the Outer Wall where he caught 11 tog on sand…

Small craft advisories were up on Thursday keeping boats close to shore. At Henlopen Bait and Tackle, Jordan said one customer was trolling a Stretch 25 down the beach between Fenwick Island and Rehoboth when he caught a nice rockfish that he thought might have passed the 28-inch mark, but he released it anyway. Jordan…

Another beautiful day and even more fish were caught. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had Logan out to the ocean for tog and while he had to hit a couple of locations, he did find a spot where they were chewing. He ended the trip with a two-man limit released 10 or 12…

We finally had a beautiful spring day and the fish cooperated, sort of. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid ran on Tuesday and brought back a few tog. The big news was the big white perch caught out of the Broadkill River on bloodworms. The fish ran from 11 to 13 inches and…

I am happy to report the weather did improve, but sad to say the fishing has remained about the same. We did have one good report from Lewes Harbour Marina. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had a two-man limit of tog on Monday. I suspect he was fishing the Outer Wall and the…
