Saturday saw the air temperature rise as the wind went southwest and there is a subtropical depression off of our coast that has small craft warnings up for Sunday and possibly Monday for seas. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Dave Lawrence fished aboard the Angler on Saturday and caught a 2.98-pound trout. I would…

Friday was another beautiful fishing day and 430 anglers took advantage of the weather to fish the Joe Morris Memorial Canal Flounder Tournament. When all was said and done at 4:00 PM Ricky Blitz was in First Place with his 4.44-pound flounder. In Second Place was Heather Strickland with a 4.08-pound flatfish. A 3.98-pound flounder…

Thursday saw a brisk southeast wind that was a tad stronger than advertised.  The marine forecast is still calling for five to ten on Friday and the rest of the weekend.  Seas will build to three to four feet in the ocean and the wind will be turning to the southwest.  If you plan to…

Wednesday was another wonderful day to be alive and living at the beach.  Light winds, warm temperatures and lots of fish to be caught.  The next few days will see the winds stay light, but the seas will begin to build to as much as five feet in the ocean over the weekend. Delaware recorded…

Monday was another beautiful day to be on the water and those who went out for sea bass found success. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid with Captain Brent had a boat limit of black sea bass for the Monday group and was in early. Captain Mark on the Savanna Lynn also did…

If ever a day was made for fishing, Saturday was that day.  The fact that it was the opening day of black sea bass season just added icing to the cake. I was up at 3: 45 AM and picked up my friend Doug Elliott from his house in Lewes around 4:15. No traffic at…

Friday was an unusual day in that the weather was just about perfect, yet hardly anyone went fishing. I suspect they were like me, getting ready for the opening of black sea bass season on Saturday. I fully expect an armada of boats to rival the Allied fleet assembled off the coast of France on…

Thursday saw perfect fishing weather and it is supposed to continue right through the weekend.  For whatever reason, very few people are fishing, but those that are, have found success from boat and beach. Deanna from Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em sent us a report and photo of Susan Krepshaw and her 8.2-pound rockfish caught…

Wednesday saw small craft advisories up in the morning and that discouraged most folks from going out in the ocean or bay.  Believe it or not, but the forecast for the next few days, including the weekend, looks good.  That includes Saturday when sea bass season opens and tog season closes. Curt Smith sent me…

Monday was another cold and windy day with small craft advisories up all day. It looks like we are going to have seas in the ocean running three to four feet until Thursday when they will drop out to two feet or less. Daytime temperatures are going to stay in the 60s as well which…

It was another windy day on Sunday with small craft advisories up in the afternoon and they are up again for Monday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Savannah Lynn with Captain Mark and the Top Fin with Captain Pete had tog on Saturday.  Patrick Lindner and Robbie Baxley fished chowder clams at the…

With small craft advisories up for Saturday it was a rough go for most fishermen from shore and from boats. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle Clark described the Spring Surf Tournament as a slow go.  High hook was four kingfish.   Cindy Haskett had those and walked away with $750 for first place.  Steve Merrick…

Friday saw some activity from charter and head boats out of Lewes and Indian River. The weekend won’t be perfect, but it should be fishable. Amanda said Adam Clark fished on the Angler and caught a 77.5-pound black drum. The Savannah Lynn with Captain Mark had a catch of tog for his party. A private…

Thursday saw small craft advisories up in the morning so very few boats went out.  Friday looks good with light southeast winds and seas less than two feet.  Deanna at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em checked a 21-inch flounder for Taylor Brewington and a 19-inch flounder for Jake Prosino.  Both caught in the Back Bays.…

Wednesday saw reasonably good weather after the rain quit, but once again, not many people were fishing.  Small craft advisories are up for Thursday with northwest winds of 15 to 20 with gusts to 30 knots.  Friday looks really good with northeast winds of five to ten and seas of less than two feet. Amanda…

Tuesday was a nice, warm spring day, but not many people went fishing.  Wednesday and Thursday promise seas in the ocean of three to four feet and Friday the seas drop out to less than two feet. I went back up to the Indian River Inlet around 1:30 PM and found the shad still there. …

Monday saw winds from the southwest at 10 to 15 and it looks like Tuesday will be the same. The forecast for the rest of the week has winds increasing to 15 to 20 knots and waves in the ocean going to four feet. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said Joe Calvert fished off of…

Sunday saw the wind drop out to southwest 10 to 15 knots and that is the forecast right through Wednesday.  There were people fishing from the beach and from boats with some luck from both venues. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa and Steve from Smith Bait in Leipsic said rockfish have been caught in…

Saturday was another windy day with small craft advisories up and boats tied to the dock or sitting on their trailers.  Unless you plan on fishing for tog, there is not much reason to get the boat wet until the water in the bay and the ocean warm up. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said…

With storm warnings posted for Friday and into Saturday the weekend did not get off to a promising start.  With wind gusts to 50 knots and seas to seven feet on the ocean no one is going to be fishing from their boats until at least Sunday. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle did report that…

If ever there was a perfect day to go fishing it was Thursday, so I did.  We won’t talk about the weather for Friday and Saturday. I arrived at Indian River Inlet around 7:00 AM.  The current was just beginning to run in and by the time I rigged up a shad dart behind a…

Wednesday was another warm and sunny day. There was a brisk southwest wind that had seas in the ocean running to three to four feet. Thursday looks to have the same conditions, but Friday and Saturday will see waves to six or seven feet. Right now, Sunday looks to be fishable. Amanda at Lewes Harbour…
