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…

Monday saw good fishing weather on the bay and the ocean and boats were able to reach fish in both locations. A northeast wind is on tap for Tuesday and that might make for some rougher conditions. 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…

UPDATED – 8/30/20 – This year’s Coastal Cleanup has moved from a one-day event with hundreds of people scouring Delaware’s 97 miles of coastline for trash into a month-long campaign to keep the state’s beaches and waterways free of trash. 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…

The wind dropped out on Friday, but is going to pick back up on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, we are expecting lots of rain as what’s left of Laura goes by. We had a very sad incident at Indian River Inlet on Thursday afternoon. A fisherman got his line caught in the prop of…

Thursday was a bit rough on the ocean as the southwest wind had the water churned up. The weekend is not looking good with increasing south winds, lots of rain and high seas in the marine forecast. At Lewes Harbour Marina Tommy said the Angler was able to fish in Delaware Bay and came back…

Wednesday was a very pleasant day on land, but the northwest wind made for a less than pleasant experience at sea. The next few days are questionable as we begin to feel the effects of the hurricane. I went down to Indian River Inlet Tuesday evening around 7:15 to take some photos. When I arrived,…

Tuesday was another good weather day and the boats that fished the ocean and bay did well. The rest of the week looks a bit iffy. The storm that is churning in the Gulf of Mexico could be here by late in the week or not. Thunderstorms are also in the forecast. Tommy at Lewes…

Governor John Carney says Delaware’s numbers are getting better, but they still need to be pushed down more. The percent positive 7-day average is currently at 4.4% but needs to drop below 3%. He adds that the more people who are tested and have negative results will help to push those numbers down. Public Health…
