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…

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…

My hope for good weather on Thursday was not realized as Ric and I faced a stiff northeast wind and three to four-foot seas upon clearing Rudee Inlet.  We tried to troll for Spanish and king mackerel to no avail and after four hours we gave up.  I was the worst beating I have had…

Still plan to be in Virginia Beach on Friday and looking for continued good weather. The flounder fishing this summer has been very good for those who work at catching these fish. While it is possible to go out, bait up, put you rod in a holder and drag the rig in front of a…

I certainly hope the weather is good on Thursday because I plan to be fishing in Virginia Beach with my son Ric.  We try to get together at least once a year, usually before he has to begin teaching his High School English class. The fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park has provided steady…

Sunday was not a day to go fishing.  If you did, God bless.  Monday does not look much better in the morning, but is supposed to lay out during the afternoon.  The rest of the week looks good so we should be able to get back to fishing by Tuesday or Wednesday. Maryland has closed…

With two tropical storms dancing around in the ocean off our coast, you can expect small craft warnings up for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  To the best of my knowledge, no boats ventured out on Saturday and I doubt any will sally forth on Sunday on Monday.  Monday is the first day of the Mid-Atlantic…

Friday saw the wind go northeast and that’s where it will stay through Sunday.  There are small craft advisories up for Saturday and I suspect we will see them remain through Sunday.  Good couple of days to get those honey-dos done around the house. I had a suspicion that things were rough in the ocean…

Friday was a perfect fishing day and my boat had a stupid bug blocking the water return and that cost me a planned trip.  Others were more fortunate and caught fish in the ocean and bay. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was a few flounder brought in on private boats.  Captain Cary Evans on…

Wednesday saw nice weather, but the inshore waters were still a bit roiled and very few boats ran to the bay or ocean.  The surf and the inlet were also pretty dirty so not much was taken from those areas either. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina did tell us the Pirate King found some kingfish…

Saturday was a good day weather wise, but I had reports of a big heave on the ocean.  With a hurricane to our south, that is to be expected.  If we are lucky, the storm will past by in 24 hours and do little damage to our beaches or our fishing. The Heels and Reels…
