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…

Wednesday, we had a little rain and some northeast wind that kept fishing pressure light.  It’s only going to get worst as winds and seas increase right through the weekend. It looks like Lighthouse View Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park has closed for the season.  This will make it difficult…

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…

Tuesday was somewhat cloudy with a bit of a breeze, but those who went out had decent luck.  The rest of the week and into the weekend look good except for the chance of thunderstorms. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda said not a single fish had crossed their cleaning table. There was better news at…

Tuesday saw a northeast wind and very few boats tried to fish in the ocean or bay.  The rest of the week looks good and all we can do is hope the weather men and women are correct. The big news happened on Monday when Evan Falgowski checked in to Lewes Harbour Marina with an…

Monday saw good fishing weather on the bay and the ocean and boats were able to reach fish in both locations.  A northeast wind is on tap for Tuesday and that might make for some rougher conditions. Amanda, at Lewes Harbour Marina, said Jules Mister caught a nice triggerfish at the Outer Wall on sand…

While Sunday was a beautiful day on land, it was a tad rough on the water.  A northwest wind has no lee shore on Delaware Bay and while you can hug the beach in the ocean, the fishing is best 12 to 15 miles out and that’s where things get nautical. Tommy at Lewes Harbour…

Saturday arrived with lots of wind and rain as promised.  Small craft advisories are up for Sunday morning, but Monday does look fishable. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no one went out of there on Saturday which is no great surprise.  He did have a few reports from Friday when Kyle Falgowski caught a…

The wind dropped out on Friday, but is going to pick back up on Saturday and Sunday.  In addition, we are expecting lots of rain as what’s left of Laura goes by. We had a very sad incident at Indian River Inlet on Thursday afternoon.  A fisherman got his line caught in the prop of…

Thursday was a bit rough on the ocean as the southwest wind had the water churned up.  The weekend is not looking good with increasing south winds, lots of rain and high seas in the marine forecast. At Lewes Harbour Marina Tommy said the Angler was able to fish in Delaware Bay and came back…

Wednesday was a very pleasant day on land, but the northwest wind made for a less than pleasant experience at sea.  The next few days are questionable as we begin to feel the effects of the hurricane. I went down to Indian River Inlet Tuesday evening around 7:15 to take some photos.  When I arrived,…

Tuesday was another good weather day and the boats that fished the ocean and bay did well.  The rest of the week looks a bit iffy.  The storm that is churning in the Gulf of Mexico could be here by late in the week or not.  Thunderstorms are also in the forecast. Tommy at Lewes…

Monday saw decent fishing weather and boats that fished the ocean had good catches of flounder, dolphin and sea bass. At the Mid-Atlantic Tournament, it was a blue marlin bonanza. The Shark Byte had a 741-pound blue marlin disqualified because of a shark bite. Then on the last day of the tournament an 815-pound blue…

Sunday was a good fishing day and good fish were caught.  The rest of the week looks like two to three-foot seas and west winds.  Take lots of DEET. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said on Saturday the Strike Zone had tuna and sea bass.  The Chasin’ Tail had a good catch of sea bass…
