User 284190339 · 10-03-26 Fishing Report It looks like summer will get one last day on Friday then we get a 20-degree temperature drop with rain and wind for Saturday and it doesn’t look any better for Sunday. Dan at Dan’s Tackle told us small croaker were caught on lug worms at Broadkill Beach on…

User 284190339 · 10-02-26 Fishing Report The first day of October felt more like summer than fall. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa said fishing returned to normal with white perch and catfish caught from the local tidal creeks and rivers and along the shoreline from Augustine Beach down to Dobbinsville. The perch went for…

User 284190339 · 10-01-26 Fishing Report The final day of September was decent with light winds and calm seas. Unfortunately, very few captains felt the need to go fishing or in the case of charter or head boats, did not have the required customers. Aaron at Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid and the…

User 284190339 · 09-30-26 Fishing Report The weather was fine on Tuesday, but the fishing did not follow suit. The beaches remained closed and the rivers remained dirty. I would suspect there are some big floating hazards on the open waters so if you plan to go out on the ocean or Delaware Bay be…

User 284190339 · 09-29-26 Fishing Report A large orange ball appeared in the sky on Monday, and the children were so afraid. The Elders comforted the young folks and said that is the sun. Do not be afraid for it is a good thing. It warms the water and brings good fishing, just not on…

User 284190339 · 09-28-26 Fishing Report There was a gale warning up on Sunday and with a steady rain for most of the day. I doubt anyone was fishing and if they were, they must love a fish much more than me. Looking ahead to next week the weather and the water should settle out…

User 284190339 · 09-27-26 Fishing Report With a storm warning up on Sunday, no one was fishing. In a recent article in the Cape Gazette, I noted that ospreys eat fish other than menhaden. Dr. Bryan D. Watts from William and Mary answered that article. Dr. Watts points out that while ospreys do eat…

User 284190339 · 09-26-26 Fishing Report We now are under a storm warning and a coastal flood watch. To the best of my knowledge, no one has been fishing and I doubt any will venture out in the forecasted 17-foot seas. Other points of the President’s Executive Order include: Improve Recreational fisheries economic data so…

User 284190339 · 09-25-26 Fishing Report No change in the fishing since Wednesday. I even called Captain Bones and Smith Bait in hopes that they might have something to report. They did not. Since the President issued his Executive Order, Congress had to do something equally appropriate, and they have passed the MAPOceans Act. This…

User 284190339 · 09-24-26 Fishing Report The State Parks has closed all Delaware beach crossings and my attempt to contact Old Inlet were met with an answering machine. With seas running to 14 feet and northeast winds upwards of 40 knots, I didn’t bother to call anyone else. President Trump has signed an Executive Order,…

User 284190339 · 09-23-26 Fishing Report The wind and the waves shut down all fishing on Tuesday and if the forecast holds, we won’t have any fishing this entire week. Winds are forecasted to top out at 40 knots and seas on the ocean are supposed to get as high a 14 feet. Delaware Bay…

User 284190339 · 09-22-26 Fishing Report We usually have a northeast storm to transition from summer to fall. It will normally last one or two days. This year it is going to last a week and carry over on to the full moon. Unfortunately, that will allow one high tide to build up on the…

User 284190339 · 09-21-26 Fishing Report Captain Aaron Hurd on the Gale Force had the Yoder family out for flounder on Saturday morning and they were able to put six keepers in the box to dad Danny Yoder’s 7.4-pounder. They came back from the ocean into the Indian River Inlet to find the bluefish blitzing…

User 284190339 · 09-19-26 Fishing Report Dan at Dan’s Tackle said many of his customers were going crabbing in the Broadkill River since the river was loaded with nice, fat jimmies. Larger croaker were also found in the river. Broadkill Beach did have spot and croaker on lug worms and Fishbites for those who were…

User 284190339 · 09-18-26 Fishing Report Frank Falcone was fishing on the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans out of Lewes when he hooked and landed a 13-pound flounder.

User 284190339 · 09-16-26 Fishing Report I must assume that once again no boats left their docks at Indian River Marina or Lewes Harbour Marina. Actually, Aaron at Lewes Harbour Marina told me no one left their docks and when I tried to call Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em no one answered the phone. Rough…

User 284190339 · 09-15-26 Fishing Report While no small craft advisories went up on Monday no small craft or even what most of us would consider large craft went out on the open waters. It seems what the National Weather Service calls 3 to 4-foot seas translate to much larger ones when viewed from the…

User 284190339 · 09-14-26 Fishing Report Aaron at Lewes Harbour Marina said the threat of rain must have scared off everybody because there were no boats out on Sunday. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park must have closed early for the same reason because no one answered the phone at…

User 284190339 · 09-13-26 Fishing Report Aaron at Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the only boat to fish on Saturday was the Bottom Line and they brought back a nice catch of dolphin (mahi-mahi). While they did not disclose the location of their catch, my guess would be the Bass Pot Buoys. Breakwater Tackle on…

User 284190339 · 09-05-26 Fishing Report Aaron at Lewes Harbour Marina told me no boats fished from his marina on Tuesday.

Smaller boats worked the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and caught better sized…
