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…

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…

Friday was another beautiful fishing day and 430 anglers took advantage of the weather to fish the Joe Morris Memorial Canal Flounder Tournament. When all was said and done at 4:00 PM Ricky Blitz was in First Place with his 4.44-pound flounder. In Second Place was Heather Strickland with a 4.08-pound flatfish. A 3.98-pound flounder…

Thursday saw a brisk southeast wind that was a tad stronger than advertised.  The marine forecast is still calling for five to ten on Friday and the rest of the weekend.  Seas will build to three to four feet in the ocean and the wind will be turning to the southwest.  If you plan to…

Wednesday was another wonderful day to be alive and living at the beach.  Light winds, warm temperatures and lots of fish to be caught.  The next few days will see the winds stay light, but the seas will begin to build to as much as five feet in the ocean over the weekend. Delaware recorded…

Monday was another beautiful day to be on the water and those who went out for sea bass found success. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid with Captain Brent had a boat limit of black sea bass for the Monday group and was in early. Captain Mark on the Savanna Lynn also did…

If ever a day was made for fishing, Saturday was that day.  The fact that it was the opening day of black sea bass season just added icing to the cake. I was up at 3: 45 AM and picked up my friend Doug Elliott from his house in Lewes around 4:15. No traffic at…

Friday was an unusual day in that the weather was just about perfect, yet hardly anyone went fishing. I suspect they were like me, getting ready for the opening of black sea bass season on Saturday. I fully expect an armada of boats to rival the Allied fleet assembled off the coast of France on…

Thursday saw perfect fishing weather and it is supposed to continue right through the weekend.  For whatever reason, very few people are fishing, but those that are, have found success from boat and beach. Deanna from Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em sent us a report and photo of Susan Krepshaw and her 8.2-pound rockfish caught…

Wednesday saw small craft advisories up in the morning and that discouraged most folks from going out in the ocean or bay.  Believe it or not, but the forecast for the next few days, including the weekend, looks good.  That includes Saturday when sea bass season opens and tog season closes. Curt Smith sent me…
