Sunday saw a strong northeast wind and very little fishing. To the best of my knowledge, no boats ran from Lewes or Indian River Marina. When I spoke with Old Inlet Bait and Tackle, they said the surf was rough, but a few folks braved it out. They didn’t have any reports on what, if…

Friday was a nice day, but the fishing was slow. When I stopped by Lewes Harbour Marina the fishing cleaning table was covered with triggerfish that came in on the Katydid.

WGMD Throwback Thursday Picture of the Day – circa 2007. This is Muppet – a frequent visitor to the WGMD studios. She would come to visit with Bill Dickerson when he would run errands for the station and deliver the weekly papers. Muppet would go from office to office to visit with everyone who was at the station. Muppet and Bill are greatly missed by everyone at WGMD. Click for larger view
