 User 284190339 · 09-18-25 Fishing Report Well, I made usual round of calls on Wednesday and except for the fishing pier on Cape Henlopen State Park I could have saved the effort.

User 284190339 · 09-17-25 Fishing Report I didn’t bother to call anybody on Tuesday, because the gale warning on the bay and ocean along with the cold, driving rain would prevent anyone with a lick of common sense from venturing out of the house, let alone go fishing. Wednesday isn’t looking much better weather wise…

User 284190339 · 09-16-25 Fishing Report When I called Lewes Harbour Marina, they told me only one boat ran on Monday and that was the Katydid. He tried the bay because there were going to be small craft advisories up in the ocean. The bay may have been a better choice, but it only provided…

User 284190339 · 09-02-25 Fishing Report On Monday I attended an all you can eat and more crab feast at J B’s Wharf in Bowers Beach and from the look of Delaware Bay I was pretty sure no boats were going out there or on the ocean. That was confirmed by Lewes Harbour Marina and…

User 284190339 · 09-01-25 Fishing Report When I made my calls on Sunday and Lewes Harbour Marina said several boats went out in the ocean, but turned around and came back in, I was not surprised. I had been watching the trees and a small flag in my neighbor’s yard and the wind had them…

User 284190339 · 08-27-25 Fishing Report Tuesday saw very nice weather, but fishing remained slow. Lewes Harbour Marina said the only boat that sailed was the Bottom Line and he ran all the way to the deep to bring back some dolphin or mahi. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park…

User 284190339 · 08-24-25 Fishing Report Saturday was a bit breezy with 5 to 7-foot seas inshore and small craft advisories up, but in the canyons the seas were running 3 to 6 feet so some boats chose to fish offshore. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said the Boy’s Toy released more white marlin on…
