WGMD Fishing Report

Wednesday saw picture perfect weather and the fishing was excellent.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marine said the Katydid had flounder, the Surface Tension had dolphin and sea bass as did the Grizzly all over ocean structure.  At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em Deanna told us the Captain Ike had limits of dolphin and sea bass. …

Tuesday was a beautiful day to be fishing.  Unfortunately, I was working.  The rest of the week looks good as well so hopefully, we can all get out and enjoy some good action on the bay and ocean. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a mixed bag of dolphin, sea bass and…

Monday was back to hot and humid weather at the beach with a bit of a south breeze.  The rest of the week will see wind of five to fifteen knots and seas on the ocean running three to four feet. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tommy reported that the Katydid came in with 37 flounder…

Sunday saw small craft advisories up for seas with some boats still going out in the ocean.  Those that fished in Delaware Bay had smother sailing and caught croaker, spot, blues and a few flounder.  The rest of the week will have winds of five to ten knots and seas running three to four feet…

Friday was a nasty day with rain and seas of three to four feet on the ocean.  Rain and seas up to seven feet are forecast over Saturday and Sunday. As nasty as the weather was it was a good fishing day for the Billfisher out of Ocean City, Maryland.  Captain Jon Duffie put angler…

Thursday saw the beginning of the effects from the tropical storm that will go past our coast over the weekend.  Seas were running three to four feet and most boats stayed in Delaware Bay or at the dock.  Friday seas in the ocean will remain at three to four feet and go to three to…

Wednesday saw more good fishing in the ocean and bay.  Thursday will see winds from the southwest at ten to fifteen with gusts to 20 knots and seas of three to four feet.  Friday the wind goes northwest at five knots and the seas remain at three to four feet.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina…

Tuesday saw some good fishing in the ocean and bay.  Wednesday will have southeast winds of five to ten knots with three-foot seas on the ocean.  On Thursday the wind will go south at 10 to 15 and on Friday they will drop down to west at five knots.  Seas will run three feet both…

Sunday saw those little three-foot seas hold most ocean-going boats at the dock.  The ones that did go wished they hadn’t.  The week ahead looks good with light winds and seas of two to three feet on the ocean. On Saturday Robert Wilson caught an 8.66-pound flounder while fishing on the Katydid.  Antonio Neal had…

Saturday was the last of the really hot and humid days for a while.   Sunday will see the wind shift from southwest to northeast at 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 and the folks at NOAA are still calling for seas on the ocean to be three feet.  Don’t you believe them!  Indian…

Friday saw more hot and humid weather, but what do you expect, it’s August in Delaware. Saturday will see more southwest at 10 to 15 with three-foot seas on the ocean. Now here’s a good one. NOAA weather says on Sunday the wind will go northeast at 10 to 15 with gusts to 20, but…

Thursday was another sunny and hot day at the beach with southwest winds at 10 to 15 and seas of three feet on the ocean.  Friday and Saturday look to be the same before showers move in on Saturday afternoon and the wind goes northwest. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid brought in…

Wednesday was another typical August day, hot and humid with a 10 to 15-knot southwest wind and three-foot seas on the ocean.  Thursday and Friday will be the same before the temperature drops 20 degrees between then and Sunday with rain showers in the forecast. Robbie at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had 36…

The weather was less than ideal on Monday and did not improve as the day went on. The rest of the week looks like normal August weather with south to southwest winds of ten to fifteen and highs near 90. I do want to thank Walt for doing the report for me on Sunday while…

As we reported yesterday, Saturday the seas were very productive in the morning and waned as the afternoon rains blanketed the coast. Sunday Morning’s clouds and rains kept most from heading out to reap the bounty of the sea. For the few who went out to enjoy the rest of the sunny day found croaker…

Despite afternoon rains, it was a productive Saturday Captain Bob limited out on Flounder and had plenty of Sea Bass.  Judy B reports the same Tuned In boated 4 Wahoo and a Mahi Mahi.  And an 8 and one-half pound Flounder was caught in the Old Ground. The final tally at the White Marlin Open:…

The weather was good on Friday and 400 boats fished the White Marlin Open. As of 5:30 PM a Second-Place white was weighed in by Billy Gerlach on the Billfisher. It was only 78.5 pounds so the 82.5-pounder caught on the Fender Bender is still in First Place. Will Emmert fishing on the Boy’s Toy…

Small craft advisories flew on Wednesday and they will be up again on Thursday.  To the best of my knowledge no boats sailed out of Lewes or Indian River. Believe it or not, but 36 boats did go out in the White Marlin Open.  Seas off shore were five to nine feet with northeast winds…

Tuesday was the last day of decent weather for the offshore fleet fishing the White Marlin Open. Wednesday calls for four to seven-foot seas, Thursday seas will be six to ten and Friday they drop back down to four to seven. The boat that sank on day one of the tournament was the Knot Stressing.…

Monday saw rough conditions on the ocean and it looks like after Tuesday the rest of the week won’t be any better. The offshore forecast is even worst with seas to nine feet before the week is over. The first boat back to the scales at Ocean City for the White Marlin Open was the…

Sunday was sort of an iffy day.  There were storms around and not too many boats went out.  The rest of the week looks the same with unsettled weather.  The White Marlin Open is this week and the offshore forecast is really bad with seas of six to eight feet. We did get one report…
