Wednesday saw small craft advisories up and to the best of my knowledge no boats sailed from Lewes or Indian River. The rest of the week looks a tad windy, but the weekend could be fishable. I did get a report from Captain Monty Hawkins on the Morning Star out of Ocean City. On his…

Saturday delivered the gale warnings as promised and Sunday will do the same. Some tackle shops didn’t open and I am certain no boats left the dock. Since you can’t fish on Sunday you might as well join me and a host of other frustrated anglers at Butch Emmert’s 2nd Annual Sportsman and Outdoor Sale. …

Friday was a bit cloudy and cool, but compared to what we have been promised for the next few days, it was a gift. Seas are forecasted to be between nine and twelve feet on Saturday and Sunday. I believe it is safe to say no boats will be sailing until sometime next week. Boats…
