User 284190339 · 06-22-25 Fishing Report Saturday was the first time in modern history when the weather was decent on a weekend. Lewes Harbour Marina told us Surface Tension came back from ocean structure with a boat limit of sea bass. No word on how far out he ran to catch that many keepers. He…

There may be larger flatheads caught in the future, but Jason will always have the first. Steve at Smith Bait told us…

User 284190339 · 06-12-25 Fishing Report It seems like we always have some excuse for why the fishing is slow. Either we have small craft advisories, the wind is out of the east or the northwest, or the fog was too thick. Well for Wednesday we have another excuse, a full moon. A full moon…

User 284190339 · 06-03-25 Fishing Report Monday wasn’t perfect, but compared to what we have been seeing it was a beautiful day. The remainder of the week looks just fine.

User 284190339 · 06-01-25 Fishing Report Saturday saw a variety of weather and none of it was good. We had small craft advisories up on the ocean and then there was a severe thunderstorm warning for all of Sussex County. The storm came through my area quite quickly with a lot of wind and downpour…
