Saturday was windy and wet at the beach.  The next five days all have the same forecast.  South winds of 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 knots in the afternoon and very little chance of rain.  Sounds like summer. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the only boat that made it out was…

Friday saw a southeast wind on the ocean and bay that for some reason did not bring anyone good fishing. Saturday and Sunday look fair with three-foot seas on the ocean so most boats should be able to make it out. Robbie at Lewes Harbour Marina said a private boat brought in a few sea…

Thursday was a beautiful summer day on land. On the water, not so much. There were small craft advisories up for both the ocean and bay with seas to five feet on the ocean. Friday looks to repeat on the ocean, but the wind is supposed to drop out to five knows and turn to…

Wednesday was a good fishing weather day and boats were able to reach the grounds in the ocean.  The rest of the week and the weekend look fair, although it will get hot with thunderstorms around in the afternoon. I stopped by Lewes Harbour Marina late on Wednesday afternoon where Robbie was cleaning a good…

Tuesday we had cloudy skies that brought plenty of rain and wind in the afternoon. Small craft advisories were up and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats left the dock or their trailers. Wednesday will be a bit better, but the morning will see rough conditions left over from Tuesday. Lighthouse View Tackle…

Monday was cloudy with a brisk southwest wind. Tuesday will see west to northwest winds of 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots and three-to-four-foot seas with rain. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em reported the largest yellowfin tuna so far this year came in on the War Pig. The angler was Nick Farrow…

Sunday saw better weather with winds dropping down to west at ten knots and seas in the ocean of only three feet. Tangier Sound is another location where you can fish without the crowds that assemble in Delaware on any given weekend.  There is a very good boat ramp in Crisfield and plenty of sheltered…

Saturday saw southwest winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas running three to four feet in the ocean.  I was in New Jersey fishing with my son Roger in the Manasquan River so we should be out of the wind. Delaware waters are very crowded on the weekends so you might want to try…

Friday was fair in the morning with seas building to three to four feet by afternoon on a gusty southwest wind of 15 to 20 knots and small craft warnings up beginning at 4:00 PM. Saturday does not look good as the wind continues and the seas build to five feet. Tommy at Lewes Harbour…

Thursday saw another cool day with seas running two feet or less on a southwest wind.  Friday will see two-foot seas in the morning then three to four-foot in the afternoon. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em some big fish were brought in on Thursday.  Rory Badger caught a 458-pound thresher shark at the Old…

Tuesday saw more good weather and folks had decent fishing in the bay and ocean. The remainder of the week still looks good even while a low-pressure area churns off the coast. Captain Pete on the Top Fin had the Morehead family out for a half-day shark trip on Monday. They caught and released eleven…

Wednesday was a bit cooler with a north to northeast wind that had the ocean stirred up a bit.  Boats still went out and brought back sea bass and flounder. The Top Fin with Captain Pete is running half-day trips and catching big sharks.  He had one young man out that wanted a shark bigger…

The weather was good at the beach on Monday and looks fair for most of the week. Boats fished the ocean and bay with some success in both locations. Surf fishing is beginning to move into summer mode with croaker and kings caught from the beach. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid with…

Sunday saw a much-improved weather situation with light southeast winds and three-foot seas.  Monday looks to be a bit damp with on and off showers.  The rest of the week should be fishable. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Pauline Hipster caught a 17-inch trout out of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal on a minnow. …

East winds of ten to fifteen and gusts to twenty knots with waves of three to four feet kept most boats at the dock or on trailers during Saturday.  Things are supposed to calm down for Sunday and the beginning of the week looks fair. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said a couple of boats…

With small craft warnings up in the ocean, few if any boats ventured out there on Friday. It is not impossible that those same small craft advisories will be up again on Saturday for northeast winds of ten to fifteen with gusts to twenty and seas of four feet along with more rain showers. It…

The marine weather on Thursday was just a bit unsettled before the storms moved in during the afternoon.  Friday and Saturday don’t look to promising with northeast winds and rain plus three to four-foot seas in the ocean. The John Oritz charter on the Strike Zone caught bluefin tuna from the Poorman’s Canyon on Sunday…

Wednesday morning found me at Indian River Inlet around 6:00 AM where I joined a half-dozen other well aged gentlemen in a vain attempt to catch a fish.  That’s alright because we ended up sitting at the picnic table drinking WAWA coffee and solving the problems of the world.  Tell Joe he can come back…

Tuesday saw another hot day with a strong southwest wind and seas running two to three feet in the ocean. At Lewes Harbour Marina Amanda’s big news was the total amount of money raised during the Joe Morris Memorial Canal Flounder Tournament was $14,750. This includes the entry fees, tee shirt sale and the sale…

Monday was another hot and steamy day with decent summertime fishing in the bay and ocean. The water is finally warming up and we are seeing more flounder caught from inshore locations such as the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and Indian River Bay. This will not last all summer because once the water rises to…

It was good ole summer time on Sunday with 90-degree temperatures and light winds. It looks like that is what we will have for most of the week with the chance for thunderstorms in the afternoon. One weather related thing to be aware of at this time of year is fog. The water is still…

Saturday was the day that summer arrived on Delmarva.  Air temperatures rose above 90 degrees and the wind was light.  The marine forecast looks good right through Wednesday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina told us that Michelle Schnaitman caught a 21-inch flounder off an ocean reef.  Donnie Vanderslice had a beautiful keeper rockfish from an…

To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out on Friday for sea bass or tuna. Seas were running three to four feet in the ocean and it looked like it was going to rain any second, but it never did in Lewes. Conditions do look better for Saturday and Sunday with a southwest…

The weather was not too good on the ocean and no one went out for sea bass on Thursday or if they did, they didn’t tell any of my reporting stations. Right now, Friday and Saturday don’t look to good on the ocean with seas of four to five feet, but Delaware Bay does look…

Wednesday was a decent weather day and those who were able to get out on the water found some action.  Thursday and Friday look pretty damp, but as of right now, the weekend seems to have promise. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Grizzly had a boat limit of sea bass on Wednesday.  A…
