OK boys and girls, we have two more days of this wonderful weather before it all goes down hill like a rolling stone.  Sea bass and tog continue to dominate the fishing in the bay and ocean with some porgies and triggerfish mixed in the catch. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda said Tim Morris and…

Saturday began with a very thick fog, but the boats pushed on, some pushed a bit to fast for their own safety, but what else is new.  It looks like this fantastic weather is going to hold until Wednesday, so if you can find the time get out fishing somewhere. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina…

Friday was yet another great day and once again I went tog fishing on the southside of Indian River Inlet. Once again, I didn’t catch anything. The Inlet has not been kind to me in 2020. Other than a few shad in the spring and one lone bluefish in June, I have not caught any…

Thursday was an absolutely beautiful day on the land and water.  The weather pattern is not supposed to change before Tuesday and that is just unheard of in November in Delaware. I went to Indian River Inlet around 9:00 AM and fished the southside east of the bridge until around 12:00 PM.  I was using…

Wednesday finally saw decent fishing weather conditions and we had boats out in the ocean and bay.  I hate to mention it, but the next several days look good weather wise and while it is November, we should see some people out on the water. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Pete Haines on…

I had hoped that someone would go out on Tuesday and at least fish the Outer Wall off of Lewes, but no one did or if the did, they didn’t report their success or failure to Lewes Harbour Marina. No boats sailed from Indian River Marina according to Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. Old Inlet…

With a gale warning up on Monday and air temperatures staying around 50 degrees, I don’t believe many folks went fishing. Look for small craft advisories to be up on Tuesday with seas to five feet before we get three days of decent fishing weather. The success of our fishing trips this week will depend…

Saturday was a bright and sunny day, but the wind and seas kept most folks off the water.  Sunday looks fishable for a short time in the morning before a gale watch goes up in the afternoon.  After that it will be Wednesday before the seas settle down enough for boats to venture out on…

Friday was another wash out and it looks like Wednesday before we get good fishing day on the open water. The brief bout of cold weather is not going to cause a drastic drop in water temperature and that is good news. Sudden drops will shut down fishing as the fish suffer a shock and…

With a gale warning up I don’t think anyone went fishing on Thursday.  Friday is not going to be any better and the weekend will be cold and windy.  It was just a matter of time before our run of mild weather came to an end and now seems to be that time. Amanda at…

The marine weather was not bad on Tuesday, but not many boats went out. Wednesday is looking good, but the rest of the week is going downhill fast with winds to 30 knots and seas to eight feet with rain. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was a good catch of tog, sheepshead and sea…

Monday saw small craft advisories up and to the best of my knowledge no boats went out in the bay or ocean. Tuesday and Wednesday look fishable, but the end of the week may see the remnants of another hurricane. The oil spill that was first reported at Broadkill Beach has spread as far south…

Sunday was just a nasty day. Wind, rain and temperatures in the 50s had most fishermen watching football or doing chores around the house. I went to a sportsman auction. Small craft advisories are already up for Monday, but the weather should improve as the week goes on. No one answered the phone at Lewes…

Saturday saw small craft advisories up for the ocean, but the larger boats were able to get out to the sea bass grounds. Sunday is pretty much a lost cause with high northeast winds and seas to six or seven feet. Monday may be fishable and the rest of next week does not look too…

Friday was another beautiful day on land, but on the ocean, not so much. Seas running to six feet or more made for difficult fishing conditions and a cold front moving in is going to increase the wind on Saturday and Sunday with small craft advisories already up for Saturday. The oil spill has closed…

Thursday was like summer came back for a visit.  The weather was beautiful, but the ocean was a bit rollie with six-foot seas that will carry us through the weekend with small craft advisories.  These seas should not bother larger boats that can handle them, but small boats should be careful especially around inlets and…

Wednesday saw good fishing conditions, but small craft advisories are already up for Thursday and Friday as seas will build to six feet due to the hurricane in the Atlantic. This situation will make for dangerous anchoring on the oceanside of the Outer Wall. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Pete Haines on the…

Tuesday was a great fishing day and those who fished the ocean did very well. While winds are forecast to be five to ten over the next few days the seas in the ocean will be building to six feet as the storm in the Atlantic grows to hurricane force. I would think the Delaware…

Monday saw a fresh breeze on the water, but boats that sailed caught plenty of fish.  The rest of the week is looking good with winds at five to ten knots and incoming water in the morning. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had 120 sea bass for the Monday Group. On Sunday…

There was a bit more wind on Sunday than what the marine forecast called for.  However, the boats that fished the ocean did very well.  The rest of the week looks very good, if the forecast remains true. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid came in with 90 sea bass and three flounder…

As I expected, small craft advisories were up on Friday and will be back up on Saturday.  Along with the wind and heavy seas we had plenty of rain and falling temperatures.  Right now, Sunday is looking good. NOAA Fisheries has tried a new survey in an effort to discover the most trusted source of…
