Monday saw decent weather, but the rest of the week is not looking too good.  There is a change coming and we are going to see some rain and wind before things settle down. Clark Evans at Old Inlet Bait and Tackle sent me the results of the Delaware Fall Surf Fishing Classic.  They had…

Sunday was a bit overcast at the beach and a few places saw a little fog and drizzle.  Monday looks good, but we will have to keep a weather eye on the rest of the week. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda checked in two citation sheepshead.  Ray Nabb had a 10.48-pound monster caught at the…

Friday was another overcast and cool day at the beach.  The rest of the weekend may be a bit damp, but with light winds and calm seas fishing should be good. I stopped by Lewes Harbour Marina just as Chris Vann, mate on the Katydid, was unloading 20 flounder and too many black sea bass…

Thursday was overcast and cool, but the winds were light and the seas were down making for decent fishing conditions.  The weekend looks good if you can dodge a few rain drops. I drove down to Indian River Inlet around 2:30 PM to catch the top of the incoming current and worked the rips west…

Wednesday should be the last day of the current run of bad weather.  It looks like Thursday through Sunday we should have decent sea conditions.  Let’s hope the fish are still here and can find our baits and lures. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no one went out in the ocean or bay on…

Tuesday saw small craft advisories up and they will be up again on Wednesday.  Thursday will be the first day that boats can get out into the ocean, but a few may try the bay on Wednesday.  Surf fishing will be difficult at best until Friday, just in time for the Old Inlet Delaware Fall…

Sunday was a repeat of Saturday and it looks like Monday and Tuesday will repeat Saturday and Sunday.  Checking the long-range forecast, it looks like Thursday before we see any break in this weather pattern and that’s only if no more storms form in the Atlantic. Lewes Harbour Marina said no one went out on…

Saturday was a lovely day on land and a real nightmare on the water.  Small craft advisories are up through Tuesday and if the forecast holds, it will be late next week before the seas settle down.  I’ve lost count on the number of storms floating around in the Atlantic plus the ones in the…

Friday was the beginning of a long spell of bad fishing weather.  To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out on the ocean or bay.  I doubt if anyone fished the surf and I had no reports from Indian River Inlet. I did have a report from Thursday out of the Broadkill River…

Thursday was the last day anyone was going out on the ocean or bay until sometime next week.  Wind and seas begin to build on Friday and are forecast to top nine feet by Tuesday.  Some heavy rain is in the mix as well. Fishing was pretty good in the ocean and bay on Thursday. …

No small craft advisories on Wednesday, but fishing conditions were not the best.  Thursday looks fair, but after that its going to get really bad for the weekend.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Pirate King fished bay structure for a catch of spot and croaker.  Captain Cary Evans had the Grizzly on bay…

Small craft advisories were up on Monday and will be back up on Tuesday.  It looks like Thursday before the seas settle down enough for boats to venture out on the ocean or bay. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Amanda went fishing on the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans on Sunday and ended up catching a…

Small craft advisories were up on Sunday and will be up again on Monday. It looks like Wednesday will be the first day that boats can get back out on the ocean and then seas will still be four feet. Delaware Bay is less rough and a couple of boats from Lewes did get out…

Saturday was windy and there were small craft advisories up all day and it looks like they are going to be up for a while.  There is a high-pressure area to the north and a tropical storm in the Atlantic and between the two we are expecting a steady diet of northeast wind and seas…

Friday saw an end to the rain, but the beginning of some rough seas.  The marine forecast has seas to nine feet building right through the weekend and into the beginning on next week.  Looks like a good time to get your tackle ready for the fall run. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no…

Thursday was pretty damp and a bit windy.  Small craft advisories are up for Friday for seas to seven feet and winds out of the northeast at 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 knots.  The rest of the weekend doesn’t look much better. I had hoped to hit the Inlet late in the afternoon…

Monday saw the holiday weekend finish on a good weather day with lots of boats on the water and people on the beach.  The people in the boats caught more fish.  It looks like east winds for the remainder of the week with seas building to six feet by Friday. Casey Taylor had a 10.6-pound…

Sunday saw a beautiful fishing day and a lot of people went fishing.  The seashore state parks were closed due to parking capacity and several boat ramps were filled as well.  Monday’s weather looks good to finish the Labor Day Weekend. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tommy said the Katydid had flounder and sea bass for…

While I didn’t see any small craft advisories on Saturday, most captains looked at the forecast and decided to stay at the dock while the few that tried to sail came in early.  At least two head boats did put in a full day, but said conditions were bad and fishing was slow. At Lewes…

Friday was a nice day on shore.  Reports from a few boats indicated it was a bit rough on the ocean in the morning, but improved as the day went on.  The marine forecast for Saturday calls for north winds 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 knots turning northeast in the afternoon and dropping…
