Thursday saw some fishable weather and a few boats were able to get out.  Small craft advisories are already up for Friday and will probably be up again for Saturday. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Vince Keagy on the Miss Kristin was out and returned with three keeper tog.  The citation winners on…

Wednesday saw fairly good weather, but seas were still riled up from the previous storms. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid managed to have a very successful tog trip returning with a good catch that included five citation fish to 9.76 pounds. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle Clark said the only fish…

Monday saw gale-force winds and heavy rain putting a halt to any fishing activity. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid came in with two citation fish on Sunday. Steve Kilber had an 8.8-pound tog and Mike Toomey had a 3.62-pound sea bass.  David and Karl Reed had a good catch of sea bass…

Sunday saw a break in the weather and a few boats were able to fish ocean structure.  Monday already has small craft advisories posted. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a good catch of tog and sea bass.  The largest tog weighed 8.08 pounds and the largest sea bass tipped the scales…

Saturday was not a good fishing day with high winds that had gale warnings and small craft advisories up for the bay and ocean. Every week I receive the police blotter for the DNREC enforcement officers.  Almost all these arrest reports contain tickets written for folks fishing without a license.  Fishing licenses have been required…

Friday saw small craft advisories up for the bay and ocean with gale warning up for Saturday.  Sunday may be fishable, but we go right back to high winds and rain on Monday. On Thursday, November 8, at 6:00 PM the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission will hold a public hearing in Dover at the…

Thursday was warm and sunny, but with southwest winds howling between 20 and 30 knots small craft advisories were up all day and will continue into Friday and Saturday.  Sunday looks to be the next fishable day. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina and Lauren at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em both reported no boats sailed…

Wednesday saw small craft advisories flying again, but a couple of boats did give it a go. Bill at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans had six anglers entered in the Tog Tournament out looking for a winner, but no one caught a fish large enough to make the board.  The…

Tuesday was windy again and I don’t see much relief for the rest of the week.  Small craft advisories are up for Wednesday and they are warning of gale force winds on Friday and Saturday. Some of the local tackle shops are on short hours because of the weather so call before heading out to…

Sunday saw small craft advisories up that will continue into Monday. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid was the only boat out and they came back with 45 sea bass two tog and a porgy. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle the report has not changed.  Tiny tog at the inlet with one…

Saturday was about as nasty as it gets.  Rain, wind, fog and just generally bad conditions.  The marine forecast for Sunday continues the small craft advisories. According to Captain John Nedelka on the Karen Sue, the water temperature on the bottom at Site 10 on Friday was 60 degrees.  The surface temperature was 62 degrees. …

As predicted, a few boats did fish on Friday morning, but they didn’t miss all the rough weather.  Captain John Nedelka on the Karen Sue fished Site 10 catching short tog and a big sheepshead and a triggerfish.  He said the short run from the Indian River Inlet was sporty. Lauren at Hook ‘em and…

To the best of my knowledge, no boats fished the ocean or bay on Thursday.  I think a few charter and head boats will be out on Friday morning and get back in before the storm arrives.  Gale warnings are already up offshore and storm warnings will be posted on Friday afternoon for the bay…

Wednesday saw small craft advisories up for the bay and ocean so the only reports we received were from land-based anglers.  The weather won’t change until Friday. Clark at Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the beach and the inlet are still producing blues to 16 inches.  Cut mullet from the beach and small metal…

Tuesday saw a new leader in the Lewes Harbour Marina Tog Tournament.  Chris Ragni, Jr. broke the five-pound mark with a 5.37-pound tog to take first place.  He fished on his boat, Full Send.  The Pirate King tried the tog fishing finding lots of shorts, but only one keeper. Clark at Old Inlet Bait and…

Monday was a pretty fall day and the few boats that went fishing did well with sea bass. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Captain Keith Beebe had Gary Kimber, Mike McCann and Jeff Bostwick out to Site 11 on the Surface Tension for a good catch of sea bass, plus a false albacore and…

With gale warnings up on the ocean and bay I think it’s safe to say no boats left the dock or launch ramp.  I am sure there were folks fishing the inlet with sand fleas and green crab, but if recent reports are still holding up, they are not getting many tog for the cooler.…

Saturday saw most boats on the trailer or tied to the dock as the wind blew pretty hard. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em did say the Captain Ike tried for sea bass, but seas to eight feet and building encouraged them to call it a day with only a few sea bass and blues in…

Friday was fishable, but not many boats went out due to a lack of customers.  A gale warning has been posted for Saturday and Sunday. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Tranquila with Captain Charlie Helmer brought in a limit of dolphin last Sunday.  The only other report he had was from the Katydid. …

Thursday saw more wind and more small craft advisories on the bay and ocean.  It looks like Friday will be the only fishable day of the weekend. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no boats went out and no fish hit the cleaning table.  He did say several boats were planning to sail on Friday.…

Tuesday saw rough seas on the bay and ocean and it’s only going to get worst.  Gale warnings are already up for Wednesday and Thursday and then again on Saturday. Both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em reported all quiet on the docks as no one tried to go fishing. At Old…

On Monday there were small craft advisories flying during the day with gale warnings posted in the evening. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina told us that Steve Warren caught a limit of flounder to 19.75 inches plus a nice-sized speckled trout out of Roosevelt Inlet on fresh mullet.  On Sunday Liam Emmert fished with his…
