Thursday was cloudy in the morning, then sunny in the afternoon. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said the Katydid had flounder and ling. Ling in August just proves how cold the ocean water is on the bottom. The Angler had the usual croaker and spot from bay structure. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em, the…

Wednesday was hot and sticky. Not many people seem to be fishing right now. I know several charter boats are in the White Marlin Open, but private boats are not going out very often either. I suspect it is because of the heat and the price of fuel. Speaking of the White Marlin Open, right…

Tuesday was hot and windy. Lewes Harbour Marina said the only boat that sailed was the Angler had she had croaker and triggerfish over bay structure.

Saturday saw good fishing for inshore and offshore. The Savannah Lynn ran an 8-hour trolling trip on Friday catching limits of bluefish and Spanish mackerel. Half-day shark trips have seen lots of big critters to 200 pounds. Bottom-fishing trips have produced sea bass and flounder. On Saturday Deanna at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said…

Friday was good in the morning with rain in the afternoon. If you have ever wanted to catch a tuna now is the time to go. You can book a charter to work the inshore lumps for what, in today’s market, is a reasonable amount of money and stand a good chance of catch a…

Thursday was a hot day to go fishing. The Bill Slayer had the Mills, Frye, Coulbourne party out on Wednesday and they managed to go 4 for 6 on yellowfin tuna and 4 for 4 on longfin albacore tuna trolling Sterling Tackle wide track spreader bars with Handbarrow Custom Bait skirted ballyhoo. Hook ‘em and…

Wednesday was an absolutely beautiful fishing day. I had a plan. I would go to Fenwick Island. Catch a spot and use it as bait for a cobia. Man plans, God laughs. I never caught a single spot, but I may have hooked a cobia on my spot rig. Whatever it was, it dumped half…

Tuesday saw decent weather and good fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Port-A-Bella fished the Big Fish Classic out of Ocean City and their 218-pound bigeye placed Fifth in that category.

Monday was another good fishing day. From Lewes Harbour Marina we learned that the Team Outcast with Dylan Grygo, Matt Chapman, Dave Haldeman and Tom Malewski fished Massey’s Canyon and the 12-Fathom Lump on Saturday where they chunked with squid and butterfish and used the whole of same for bait. They ended the day with…

Friday saw light winds and calm seas. I was on the beach at 3Rs Road around 6:00AM and set up to catch a cobia. I had some kingfish heads that Robbie at Lewes Harbour Marina saved for me and I rigged one of them on a fish-finder rig. Once that was out there, I rigged…

Thursday was a hot, dry day and fish were caught. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had the Orogz charter out to the Old Grounds where they spotted a group of cobia on the surface. Logan picked up his pitching rod and made several casts with a Hamilton jig and hooked one of the…

Wednesday saw some light showers between bright sunshine. It was bound to happen. Fenwick Tackle reported that Tyler Adams caught a 41-inch cobia out of the surf in Ocean City on a chunk of kingfish. I would think bunker, spot or mullet would also attract a cobia. You might want to keep a light rod…
