Monday was the next to last good weather day which means you have to go fishing on Tuesday. Go before work, after work or skip work. Just go. Rain and wind will move in on Wednesday and stick around until the weekend and who knows when we will see temperatures in the 70s again. Tommy…

OK boys and girls, we have two more days of this wonderful weather before it all goes down hill like a rolling stone.  Sea bass and tog continue to dominate the fishing in the bay and ocean with some porgies and triggerfish mixed in the catch. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda said Tim Morris and…

Saturday began with a very thick fog, but the boats pushed on, some pushed a bit to fast for their own safety, but what else is new.  It looks like this fantastic weather is going to hold until Wednesday, so if you can find the time get out fishing somewhere. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina…

Friday was yet another great day and once again I went tog fishing on the southside of Indian River Inlet. Once again, I didn’t catch anything. The Inlet has not been kind to me in 2020. Other than a few shad in the spring and one lone bluefish in June, I have not caught any…

Wednesday finally saw decent fishing weather conditions and we had boats out in the ocean and bay.  I hate to mention it, but the next several days look good weather wise and while it is November, we should see some people out on the water. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Pete Haines on…

With a gale warning up on Monday and air temperatures staying around 50 degrees, I don’t believe many folks went fishing. Look for small craft advisories to be up on Tuesday with seas to five feet before we get three days of decent fishing weather. The success of our fishing trips this week will depend…

Saturday was a bright and sunny day, but the wind and seas kept most folks off the water.  Sunday looks fishable for a short time in the morning before a gale watch goes up in the afternoon.  After that it will be Wednesday before the seas settle down enough for boats to venture out on…

Friday was another wash out and it looks like Wednesday before we get good fishing day on the open water. The brief bout of cold weather is not going to cause a drastic drop in water temperature and that is good news. Sudden drops will shut down fishing as the fish suffer a shock and…

With a gale warning up I don’t think anyone went fishing on Thursday.  Friday is not going to be any better and the weekend will be cold and windy.  It was just a matter of time before our run of mild weather came to an end and now seems to be that time. Amanda at…

I hate to say this, but Wednesday may have been the last day anyone will be fishing for a long while.  Gale warnings are up for Thursday and Friday and the long-range outlook has seas running five to six feet early next week.  With the storm coming along with a full moon on Saturday, I…

Sunday was just a nasty day. Wind, rain and temperatures in the 50s had most fishermen watching football or doing chores around the house. I went to a sportsman auction. Small craft advisories are already up for Monday, but the weather should improve as the week goes on. No one answered the phone at Lewes…

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…

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…

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…
