Saturday saw small craft advisories up for the ocean, but the larger boats were able to get out to the sea bass grounds. Sunday is pretty much a lost cause with high northeast winds and seas to six or seven feet. Monday may be fishable and the rest of next week does not look too…

Friday was another beautiful day on land, but on the ocean, not so much. Seas running to six feet or more made for difficult fishing conditions and a cold front moving in is going to increase the wind on Saturday and Sunday with small craft advisories already up for Saturday. The oil spill has closed…

Thursday was like summer came back for a visit.  The weather was beautiful, but the ocean was a bit rollie with six-foot seas that will carry us through the weekend with small craft advisories.  These seas should not bother larger boats that can handle them, but small boats should be careful especially around inlets and…

Wednesday saw good fishing conditions, but small craft advisories are already up for Thursday and Friday as seas will build to six feet due to the hurricane in the Atlantic. This situation will make for dangerous anchoring on the oceanside of the Outer Wall. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Pete Haines on the…

Tuesday was a great fishing day and those who fished the ocean did very well. While winds are forecast to be five to ten over the next few days the seas in the ocean will be building to six feet as the storm in the Atlantic grows to hurricane force. I would think the Delaware…

Monday saw a fresh breeze on the water, but boats that sailed caught plenty of fish.  The rest of the week is looking good with winds at five to ten knots and incoming water in the morning. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had 120 sea bass for the Monday Group. On Sunday…

There was a bit more wind on Sunday than what the marine forecast called for.  However, the boats that fished the ocean did very well.  The rest of the week looks very good, if the forecast remains true. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid came in with 90 sea bass and three flounder…

Small craft advisories were up on Saturday, but Sunday looks good.  In fact, all of next week appears to be good fishing weather with warming air temperatures and light winds. The Lewes Harbour Marina Tog Tournament began on Saturday and will continue until 4:00 PM on November 21.  The entry fee is $30 for the…

As I expected, small craft advisories were up on Friday and will be back up on Saturday.  Along with the wind and heavy seas we had plenty of rain and falling temperatures.  Right now, Sunday is looking good. NOAA Fisheries has tried a new survey in an effort to discover the most trusted source of…

Thursday saw small craft advisories up and I suspect they may be up on Friday.  A cold front will arrive this weekend dropping air temperatures and increasing winds first from the southwest and then from the northwest.  Rain is also expected on Friday. A call to Lewes Harbour Marina revealed that no boats sailed on…

Wednesday was a decent fishing day and boats worked in the bay and ocean.  Sea bass were caught along with some flounder and triggerfish. I have some very bad news from Maryland.  The 2020 young of the year numbers for striped bass are in and they are dismal.  The 2.5 young of the year number…

Tuesday saw small craft advisories up and no boats ventured out of Lewes Harbour Marina or Indian River Marina. Wednesday may not be much better, but as of late afternoon on Tuesday, no warnings have been posted. I have more information on the 13.2-pound flounder caught in Ocean City. The angler, Cleon Timothy, was fishing…

Nasty is the only word to describe the weather at the beach in Monday. To the best of my knowledge, no boats sailed to the bay or the ocean. I did have one report from a person who fished the Indian River Inlet on Monday from 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM. He had a few…

The rain held off for most of the day on Sunday and several botas did fish in the bay and ocean.  The weather for Monday and Tuesday looks pretty bad as Delta swings by with rain and wind. If you remember I said when we reported on the 12.69-pound flounder that I wouldn’t be surprised…

Saturday saw small craft advisories up and no charter boats fished the ocean.  Sunday will see seas of three to four feet and rain.  Not my idea of good fishing weather, but some may go. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said no charter boats went on Saturday, but the Angler did fish Delaware Bay for…

Friday saw nice fishing weather in the morning, but the wind did pick up in the afternoon. A small craft advisory is up for Saturday with southwest winds at 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 and seas on the ocean at three to four feet. We want to wish everyone fishing the DMS Surf…

The small craft advisories that were up on Thursday kept boats tied to the dock as Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em both reported no one out all day.  Right now, Friday and Saturday look good until the remnants of Delta arrive on Sunday. I do have a few reports left over…

Wednesday was another beautiful day unless you wanted to go out on open water where the southwest wind had small craft advisories up.  They will be up again on Thursday, but right now, Friday is looking good. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Ronnie said a private boat fished the Outer Wall and returned with six keeper…

Tuesday was just a beautiful day with bright sunshine and light winds.  Small craft advisories are up for Wednesday and Thursday isn’t looking much better. With such beautiful weather I had to go fishing so I traveled down to Indian River Inlet to catch the last of the incoming current.  When I arrived, there were…

Monday saw a decent day on the water for the few who went out. Tuesday also looks good, but the wind is going to pick up from the southwest on Wednesday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina had lots to report. On Sunday Wendy Krieger had a citation-worthy 3.85-pound trout and a 20-inch flounder at B…

Sunday saw perfect fishing weather and those who went found good action from the beach, ocean and bay.  Right now, Monday and Tuesday are looking fine. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Amanda let us know that Paul Elwood caught a monster 12.69-pound summer flounder while fishing aboard the Katydid.  This is the largest flounder caught this…

It was a bit saucy on Saturday morning, but laid down for the rest of the day.  In fact, the day was just about perfect for a fall afternoon in Delaware.  Sunday is also looking good and the week ahead is not going to be too bad. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tommy said the Katydid…

Thursday saw some rough weather in the morning, but it did lay out a bit by afternoon.  Not many boats sailed and those that did reported a mixed bag with sea bass, flounder and triggerfish.  Friday looks to be even rougher and we may not see to many fishermen on the water.  The weekend still…

Wednesday was windy and much cooler with small craft advisories up. This kept boats from leaving the dock at Lewes Harbour Martina and Indian River Marina. Thursday looks fair for the larger boats with seas at three to four feet and the weekend looks good. The National Marine Fisheries Service has closed the season on…
