User 284190339 · 04-28-25 Fishing Report Sunday saw small craft advisories up, but Monday is going to be nice with north winds at 5 to 10 knots and seas running 2 to 3 feet. Since there is little to report other than the usual tog, blues and shad at Indian River inlet, let me tell…

User 284190339 · 04-27-25 Fishing Report Just as advertised, Saturday saw small craft advisories up and they will remain up through Sunday. Happy Weekend! Both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said no boats left their docks on Saturday. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em did clean some tog that were caught out…

User 284190339 · 04-25-25 Fishing Report Thursday, we had more good news and this time it was black drum from Broadkill Beach. Dan at Dan’s Tackle on Route 1 in Milton said he had the first reports of the big boomers caught from shore on clams and crab. Actually, the drum weren’t all that big,…

User 284190339 · 04-24-25 Fishing Report The news got even better on Wednesday. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Katydid ran to ocean structure on Wednesday and came back with 11 tog. Two private boats fished the Outer Wall and caught 4 and 6 tog. For those who don’t fish there, you have to toggle…

User 284190339 · 04-21-25 Fishing Report The reporting shops I called at 4:00 p.m. on Easter Sunday were closed. I was not surprised. As I look at the weather for the week ahead, we just may have the first few decent fishing days we have had all year. I know I plan to hit the…

User 284190339 · 04-20-25 Fishing Report Saturday saw small craft advisories up again, but with temperatures above 80 degrees, people still went fishing. One of the reports I have been waiting for all spring finally came through. Monica Rust caught the first keeper flounder from the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. She and Travis Rust fished…

User 284190339 · 04-18-25 Fishing Report Thursday came through as advertised. Winds from the northwest at 10 to 15 knots and 2 to 3-foot seas. However, none of the charter or head boats from Indian River or Lewes ventured out. One private boat from Indian River fished Site 10 with a green crab and caught…

User 284190339 · 04-17-25 Fishing Report Wednesday saw small craft advisories up, as usual. Thursday we are supposed to have northwest winds of 10 to 15 knots and 2 to 3-foot seas. Won’t that be nice. My friend Dan Neumann fished the South Pocket again on Tuesday morning during incoming water and saw a 34-inch…

User 284190339 · 04-14-25 Fishing Report With small craft advisories up again, there was no report from either Lewes Harbour Marina or Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. I am so desperate for a fishing report that I checked with Maryland to see what was going on over there. Guess what? They had a decent start…

User 284190339 · 04-13-25 Fishing Report With small craft advisories up and a nasty, cold rain for part of the day it was no surprise when Old Inlet Bait and Tackle told me they sold a little bait, but had no reports from Indian River Inlet. They did get a report from the beach. The…

User 284190339 · 04-11-25 Fishing Report Thursday was another cold and windy day. Believe it or not, but with southeast winds at 15 knots with gusts to 20 there was no small craft advisories because NOAA Weather only called for 3-foot seas. At the Delaware Lightship Buoy the wind was blowing at 17.5 knots with…

User 284190339 · 04-10-25 Fishing Report I made calls to Lewes Harbour Marina and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle around 5:00 p.m. and no one answered the phone. Wednesday was slow probably due to the cold weather. DNREC will hold 13 Take a Kid Fishing events beginning on April 22 at 9:00 a.m. at the…

User 284190339 · 04-07-25 Fishing Report Sunday saw small craft advisories up as usual, but that didn’t stop the trout fishermen. Patty at Captain Bones recorded two more Delaware Citations, but this time they were adults. Rachel Rothwell caught a 2.06-pound rainbow trout out of White Clay Creek on a Power Bait and Ricardo Pitti-Nieves…

User 284190339 · 04-06-25 Fishing Report Saturday was a good fishing day and the kids that fished for trout had a great time and some recorded Delaware Citations. Patty at Captain Bones was kind enough to take time to give us three of the citation winners. Harper Malone age ,5, checked in with a 5.3-pound…

User 284190339 · 04-03-25 Fishing Report Wednesday was another cold and windy day and Thursday isn’t looking any better. We may get a break over the weekend, but the only good reports I am getting are tog from the inlet and white perch from most of the tidal creeks and rivers. Old Inlet Bait and…

User 284190339 · 04-02-25 Fishing Report Tuesday was another small craft advisory day on the open waters of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The water temperature at the Delaware Lightship was a still cold 48.6 degrees, but at Lewes we had a very encouraging 54.3 degrees. I have no reports of any flounder caught…

User 284190339 · 04-01-25 Fishing Report Monday saw winds gusting to gale force, with air temperatures rising to over 80 degrees. It was not a day for fishing from a boat and while I did see a bass boat on Wagamons Pond I can’t imagine trying to cast with or into that wind. My dogwood…

User 284190339 · 03-31-25 Fishing Report Sunday was another windy day with small craft advisories up and no boats going to open water. Patty at Captain Bones and Steve at Smith Bait both reported white perch along the shoreline and from boats fishing between Augustine Beach, Port Penn, Bay View and the fishing pier at…
