Thursday saw another cool day with seas running two feet or less on a southwest wind.  Friday will see two-foot seas in the morning then three to four-foot in the afternoon. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em some big fish were brought in on Thursday.  Rory Badger caught a 458-pound thresher shark at the Old…

Tuesday saw more good weather and folks had decent fishing in the bay and ocean. The remainder of the week still looks good even while a low-pressure area churns off the coast. Captain Pete on the Top Fin had the Morehead family out for a half-day shark trip on Monday. They caught and released eleven…

Wednesday was a bit cooler with a north to northeast wind that had the ocean stirred up a bit.  Boats still went out and brought back sea bass and flounder. The Top Fin with Captain Pete is running half-day trips and catching big sharks.  He had one young man out that wanted a shark bigger…

The weather was good at the beach on Monday and looks fair for most of the week. Boats fished the ocean and bay with some success in both locations. Surf fishing is beginning to move into summer mode with croaker and kings caught from the beach. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid with…

Sunday saw a much-improved weather situation with light southeast winds and three-foot seas.  Monday looks to be a bit damp with on and off showers.  The rest of the week should be fishable. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Pauline Hipster caught a 17-inch trout out of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal on a minnow. …

East winds of ten to fifteen and gusts to twenty knots with waves of three to four feet kept most boats at the dock or on trailers during Saturday.  Things are supposed to calm down for Sunday and the beginning of the week looks fair. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said a couple of boats…

With small craft warnings up in the ocean, few if any boats ventured out there on Friday. It is not impossible that those same small craft advisories will be up again on Saturday for northeast winds of ten to fifteen with gusts to twenty and seas of four feet along with more rain showers. It…

The marine weather on Thursday was just a bit unsettled before the storms moved in during the afternoon.  Friday and Saturday don’t look to promising with northeast winds and rain plus three to four-foot seas in the ocean. The John Oritz charter on the Strike Zone caught bluefin tuna from the Poorman’s Canyon on Sunday…

Wednesday morning found me at Indian River Inlet around 6:00 AM where I joined a half-dozen other well aged gentlemen in a vain attempt to catch a fish.  That’s alright because we ended up sitting at the picnic table drinking WAWA coffee and solving the problems of the world.  Tell Joe he can come back…

Tuesday saw another hot day with a strong southwest wind and seas running two to three feet in the ocean. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda’s big news was the total amount of money raised during the Joe Morris Memorial Canal Flounder Tournament was $14,750. This includes the entry fees, tee shirt sale and the sale…

Monday was another hot and steamy day with decent summertime fishing in the bay and ocean. The water is finally warming up and we are seeing more flounder caught from inshore locations such as the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and Indian River Bay. This will not last all summer because once the water rises to…

It was good ole summer time on Sunday with 90-degree temperatures and light winds. It looks like that is what we will have for most of the week with the chance for thunderstorms in the afternoon. One weather related thing to be aware of at this time of year is fog. The water is still…

Saturday was the day that summer arrived on Delmarva.  Air temperatures rose above 90 degrees and the wind was light.  The marine forecast looks good right through Wednesday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina told us that Michelle Schnaitman caught a 21-inch flounder off an ocean reef.  Donnie Vanderslice had a beautiful keeper rockfish from an…

To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out on Friday for sea bass or tuna. Seas were running three to four feet in the ocean and it looked like it was going to rain any second, but it never did in Lewes. Conditions do look better for Saturday and Sunday with a southwest…

The weather was not too good on the ocean and no one went out for sea bass on Thursday or if they did, they didn’t tell any of my reporting stations. Right now, Friday and Saturday don’t look to good on the ocean with seas of four to five feet, but Delaware Bay does look…

Wednesday was a decent weather day and those who were able to get out on the water found some action.  Thursday and Friday look pretty damp, but as of right now, the weekend seems to have promise. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Grizzly had a boat limit of sea bass on Wednesday.  A…

Tuesday saw a little more southeast wind than what the National Marine Weather Service called for.  Seas that were supposed to be less than two feet were running somewhat higher, but boats that went out did come back with fish.  Wednesday is supposed to have light winds and seas of less then two feet.  Only…

Monday was a decent day, but seas in the ocean were still running three to four feet and to the best of my knowledge only one boat tried for sea bass and he ended up with eight. When we have three very rough days in a row the bottom gets churned up and the sea…

Sunday was another nasty day with high winds and higher seas. Small craft advisories were up, but with seas to ten feet in the morning subsiding to eight feet in the afternoon, I wonder where the National Weather Service draws the line between small and large craft. We are supposed to see the sun again…

Saturday saw gale warnings up and they may be up again on Sunday. In addition to the seas being as high as ten feet the rain was coming down in buckets. If anyone went fishing, I don’t want to know about it. In addition to the rain and rough seas there will be coastal flooding.…

Small craft advisories were up on Friday and will be followed by gale warnings on Saturday. Not exactly what we wanted for the first holiday of the summer season. Mother Nature can be a cruel mother. Believe it or not, but some fish were caught on Friday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid…

Saturday saw the air temperature rise as the wind went southwest and there is a subtropical depression off of our coast that has small craft warnings up for Sunday and possibly Monday for seas. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Dave Lawrence fished aboard the Angler on Saturday and caught a 2.98-pound trout.  I would…
