User 284190339 · 04 – 27 – 24 Fishing Report Friday was just a bit better than Thursday, but the east wind early in the day kept boats at the dock or on their trailers. The wind was not enough to keep surf casters from the beach where big blues were caught on cut bait…

User 284190339 · 04 – 23 – 24 Fishing Report Monday was bright and sunny at the beach so I decided to go fishing, I have never caught a black drum from the beach so I went up on Broadkill Beach to give it a try. There was a gentleman filling his tires while I…

User 284190339 · 04 – 14 – 24 Fishing Report If you were out and about on Saturday, I don’t have to tell you how hard the wind was blowing. For those who spent the day indoors, there were white caps on Red Mill Pond for crying out loud! It looks like Tuesday before the…
