Wednesday was a very nice day to be fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that Captain Brent and mate Chris had a very good day with flounder on ocean structure. Dan McGreevy caught a 7.43-pound Delaware Citation flounder on that trip and Tony Gargurevich had a very respectable 5.27 pounder. The Angler had spot and croaker…
Tuesday saw small craft advisories up in the ocean and very few boats left the dock. I was up a 0515 and at Indian River Inlet around 0630. The current was running in very fast on the full moon and by the time I cast a Stingsilver out, closed the bail and began to crank…

Monday was a beautiful day for fishing. Down in Ocean City, Maryland the Talkin’ Trash won the Ocean City Tuna Tournament and took home $316,000. They didn’t have the biggest fish, but their big fish added to their total weight and put them in first place. The real big money comes next month with the…

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. The party said the flounder didn’t cooperate, so Captain Brent shifted to triggers over ocean structure and sent everyone home with a bag full…

Thursday was a gray day with slow fishing. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the surf continues to produce kings and croaker on bloodworms and bloodworm FishBites. The Indian River Inlet has seen lots of short tog and a few keepers on sand fleas. Sheepshead have been mixed in with the tog. At Lewes Harbour…

Fuentes Rivas Lucio had a good catch of flounder landing eight keepers and three sea bass at his favorite spot. Unfortunately, he did not share the Lat/Lon of that location. Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Austin had…
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

Saturday was another hot and windy day with small craft advisories up on the ocean.

Randy is one of the truly good guys…
