Labor Day weekend saw huge crowds in Delaware – on the beaches and boardwalks – thanks to the beautiful weather. Governor Carney during this week’s coronavirus update says those large crowds present a challenge as to where the state’s virus numbers will turn out. However we won’t know until testing is done over the next…

While I didn’t see any small craft advisories on Saturday, most captains looked at the forecast and decided to stay at the dock while the few that tried to sail came in early. At least two head boats did put in a full day, but said conditions were bad and fishing was slow. At Lewes…

Friday was a nice day on shore. Reports from a few boats indicated it was a bit rough on the ocean in the morning, but improved as the day went on. The marine forecast for Saturday calls for north winds 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 knots turning northeast in the afternoon and dropping…

Thursday was sunny and bright and those who fished structure in the ocean and bay did well. The rest of the weekend looks good so far as the weather so we should be able to get out there after those flounder, dolphin and sea bass. Ronnie at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Grizzly came back…

Tuesday was somewhat cloudy with a bit of a breeze, but those who went out had decent luck. The rest of the week and into the weekend look good except for the chance of thunderstorms. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda said not a single fish had crossed their cleaning table. There was better news at…
WGMD celebrates 40 years of broadcasting this year! This picture goes back to 2016 – and the first or 2nd year that our barn swallows began nesting on our security cameras by the front door. This year Walt put up a nest cam – which looked down into the nest – and we got to see these little guys breaking out of their eggs and waiting for mom and dad to bring food! They were just a few days old in this picture. They’ve been back every year since they found WGMD! / Click for full view
Tuesday saw a northeast wind and very few boats tried to fish in the ocean or bay. The rest of the week looks good and all we can do is hope the weather men and women are correct. The big news happened on Monday when Evan Falgowski checked in to Lewes Harbour Marina with an…

Amanda, at Lewes Harbour Marina, said Jules Mister caught a nice triggerfish at the Outer Wall on sand…

While Sunday was a beautiful day on land, it was a tad rough on the water. A northwest wind has no lee shore on Delaware Bay and while you can hug the beach in the ocean, the fishing is best 12 to 15 miles out and that’s where things get nautical. Tommy at Lewes Harbour…

Delawareans and visitors are encouraged to make a special effort during September to keep communities…
Saturday arrived with lots of wind and rain as promised. Small craft advisories are up for Sunday morning, but Monday does look fishable. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no one went out of there on Saturday which is no great surprise. He did have a few reports from Friday when Kyle Falgowski caught a…
