Another beautiful day and even more fish were caught. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had Logan out to the ocean for tog and while he had to hit a couple of locations, he did find a spot where they were chewing. He ended the trip with a two-man limit released 10 or 12…

We finally had a beautiful spring day and the fish cooperated, sort of. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid ran on Tuesday and brought back a few tog. The big news was the big white perch caught out of the Broadkill River on bloodworms. The fish ran from 11 to 13 inches and…

I am happy to report the weather did improve, but sad to say the fishing has remained about the same. We did have one good report from Lewes Harbour Marina. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had a two-man limit of tog on Monday. I suspect he was fishing the Outer Wall and the…

After seven consecutive days, small craft warnings should come down on Monday. I called all my contacts from Odessa to Long Neck on Sunday and they all had the same report; white perch on bloodworms from the tidal rivers and creeks. No boats went out unless they were fishing for perch or they went after…

Small craft advisories continue through Sunday. On Saturday I went out looking for people fishing. My first stop was Old Inlet Bait and Tackle where Butch and the gang were celebrating the shop’s 60 years in business. When they opened, I was 19 years old and a Seaman First Class in Uncle Sam’s Navy. Butch…

Small craft advisories continue until Monday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid and a private boat ran on Friday. Both brought tog back to the cleaning table, but not in any great number or size. I am getting the same report from the boats running out of Ocean City. The Fish Bound is…

Small craft advisories will be up right thru the weekend. Since no one in their right mind went fishing today, I have some information to pass along concerning fire extinguisher regulations that will take effect on April 20. The Coast Guard’s new rules concerning fire extinguishers that are more than 12 years old is they…

No change in the marine forecast; it still looks really bad. I did get an encouraging report from Fish in OC’s Scott Lenox. He went out to catch the first summer flounder out of Ocean City. With a northwest wind at over 20 knots, he almost went back to the dock, but decided to give…

If you had any plans to go fishing this week, as my friends from North Jersey would say, fuhgeddaboudit. There are small craft advisories up through Thursday and Friday don’t look so hot. I spoke with Taylored Tackle in Seaford and Mrs. Taylor said no one has been fishing because of the lousy weather. No…

No one answered the phone at Lewes Harbour Marina which is a good indication that no one went fishing out of there on Monday. I would hope there is some activity on Tuesday when winds are supposed to be 10 out of the south and waves are supposed to be 2 feet or less. Water…

Small craft advisories were up on Sunday, but Monday will see winds start out at 15 to 20 knots with gusts to 25 then drop off to 5 to 10 in the afternoon. Seas will be 3 to 4 feet in the morning then go down to 2 feet or less in the afternoon. Tuesday…

It was still a tad breezy on Saturday, but fish were caught. Sunday will see southwest winds of 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 going west in the afternoon with 3-foot seas and showers. Monday the wind will be northwest at 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 falling off to 5-knots…

There was a gale warning up on Friday that ran until 2:00 AM on Saturday. Small craft advisories will be up on Saturday for northwest winds at 15 to 20 knots with gusts to 25 and seas of 3 to five feet. The wind is supposed to fall out during the day. Sunday we are…

Thursday was cool and damp. According to Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina, no one was fishing out of Lewes. The phones went unanswered at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle. Friday will see east winds at 5 to 10 knots with 3-foot seas in the morning and 2-foot seas in…

If you didn’t fish on Tuesday, you can’t blame the weather.  Wednesday will be pretty nice with northwest winds at 5 to 10 knots going north in the afternoon with 3-foot seas and rain.  On Thursday the wind will be northeast at 5 to 10 knots with seas of 2 feet and rain in the…

Monday was fishable, but cold.  Tuesday will see northwest winds at 5 to 10 knots going northeast late and 2-foot seas.  Wednesday the wind will be southwest at 10 knots going west in the afternoon with 3-foot seas. The only report I had on Monday was from Lewes Harbour Marina.  Tommy said several rockfish were…

Sunday saw small craft advisories up again, but Monday and Tuesday look much better.  Monday will start out on the bumpy side with north winds at 10 to 15 knots that will quickly decrease to 5 to 10 southeast.  Seas will start out at 3 feet then go down to 2 feet.  On Tuesday the…

I don’t think anyone went fishing on Christmas Day since there was a small craft advisory flying as well as the big holiday.  I used to know families that went duck hunting every Christmas morning, then came home, had a big breakfast, opened gifts then slept for the rest of the day.  Those small craft…

First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope Santa left you everything you asked for.  Once again, I was disappointed.  No 73-Spencer under my tree or tied up at the dock at Indian River Marina.  Guess I will have to be a better boy next year. Small craft advisories…

While the weather on Thursday was cold and windy that didn’t discourage anglers from catching rockfish out of the ocean along the New Jersey coast.  Friday will see southwest winds at 20 to 25 knots with gusts to 30 going down to 10 to 15 with gusts to 25 then dropping off to 5 to…

There was a gale warning on Wednesday as the northwest wind at 25 to 30 knots cut through you like a knife.  I feel certain small craft advisories will be up on Thursday as winds continue to blow northwest at 15 to 20 with gusts to 30 before dropping down to 5 to 10 late…

Tuesday saw decent fishing conditions with a light wind in the morning picking up in the afternoon once the current began running out.  Wednesday will see a gale warning for north winds at 15 to 20 knots building to northwest at 20 to 25 with gusts to 35 and 3 to 5-foot seas with rain…

To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out on Monday. I suspect some will go on Tuesday as the forecast is for west winds at 5 to 10 knots going northeast late in the day with 3-foot seas. On Wednesday, the wind will pick up to north at 10 to 15 knots then…

With small craft advisories up I don’t think any boats went out on Sunday.  Monday calls for winds out of the north at 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 dropping down to 5 t0 10 in the afternoon.  Seas will run 3 to 4 feet.  On Tuesday the wind will go northwest at…
