User 284190339 · 06 – 25 – 24 Fishing Report Monday was another windy, but a bit cooler day at the beach. Small craft advisories were up so few boats left the dock and none ventured beyond the inlets. Hook ,em and Cook ‘em sent us a couple of reports. The first was Dawn Gadberry…

User 284190339 · 06 – 23 – 24 Fishing Report Saturday was the first really hot day this summer, plus we are coming off the full moon and fishing suffered accordingly. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Angler brought back some kings from bay structure. Only one charter boat went out on a…

User 284190339 · 06 – 20 – 24 Fishing Report Wednesday was a decent beach day. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park reported a slow day on the boards. A few spot and croaker were caught on bloodworms or imitations of the same and that was about it. At Lewes…

User 284190339 · 06 – 17 – 24 Fishing Report Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, I was unable to contact my usual reporting stations on Sunday. I did get a few reports from folks that we seldom hear from. Up in New Castle County, our fly fishing reporter, Ed O’Donnell, took his two…

User 284190339 · 06 – 16 – 24 Fishing Report From what I heard from my reporters; Saturday was a tad rough on the ocean so I don’t have many reports from there. Lewes Harbour Marina said the only boat that left the dock on Saturday was the Angler. She fished bay structure and caught…

User 284190339 · 06 – 15 – 24 Fishing Report Friday was pleasant enough and fish were caught. Julie Stevenson and Mike Fisher went out to B Buoy on Wednesday and caught a limit of flounder to 22 inches. On Thursday, Julie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Viscuglia, also went out to B Buoy and did…

User 284190339 · 06 – 13 – 24 Fishing Report Wednesday was a nice beach day. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid had 10 flounder from ocean structure. A private boat also fished ocean structure and caught some flounder and a few keeper flounder were caught in the Lewes and Rehoboth canal. Baits varied…

User 284190339 · 06 – 10 – 24 Fishing Report Sunday, we had a hard northwest blow and, to the best of my knowledge, only one boat left the dock. Julie at Lewes Harbour Marina told me no boats sailed from Lewes on Sunday and no fish crossed their cleaning table. Breakwater Tackle at the…

User 284190339 · 06 – 09 – 24 Fishing Report Saturday saw some wind out of the southwest and some fair fishing. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em reported that Paul Plummer and Eric Daughtry caught a 250.6-pound thresher shark on a mackerel bait at B Buoy on Saturday while fishing aboard the Salty Hooker. Burt…

User 284190339 · 06 – 07 – 24 Fishing Report As we mentioned on Wednesday, there was a small craft advisory up on Thursday so no boats sailed and the surf was a tad too rough for fishing. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle did record a few blues caught early in the morning at the…

User 284190339 · 06 – 06 – 24 Fishing Report Wednesday saw rain and a few thunderstorms and Thursday will have small craft advisories up so I don’t expect much fishing to take place. Julie at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid brought in a boat limit of flounder from ocean structure. That is 32…

User 284190339 · 06 – 03 – 24 Fishing Report My son Ric, who lives in Virginia Beach, went out on his 20-foot Jones Brothers center console on Saturday and he encountered a school of giant bluefins close to the beach. He didn’t have tackle to match them, but he did hook four, the last…

User 284190339 · 06 – 02 – 24 Fishing Report Saturday was June 1st, the first day of the 17.5-inch minimum size limit for summer flounder in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Charter and head boats that had been catching limits of 16-inch flounder had a difficult time doing the same with the new 17.5-inch `minimum…

User 284190339 · 06 – 01 – 24 Fishing Report Friday the weather was good for fishing from the beach and the Inlet. Both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em reported no boats ran to ocean structure. George Frigm reported catching two big blues, one weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces and the…

User 284190339 · 05 – 31 – 24 Fishing Report We had a hard northwest wind on Thursday and that didn’t help the ocean fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina didn’t have any boats out during the day although the Katydid was out in Delaware Bay on a drum trip when I called. Hook ‘em and Cook…

User 284190339 · 05 – 30 – 24 Fishing Report For whatever reason fishing was slow pretty much everywhere on Wednesday. Those who put in the time and worked at fishing found some success. At Lewes Harbour Marina Julie told me the only boat that sailed was the Katydid and she only brought back 33…

User 284190339 · 05 – 28 – 24 Fishing Report Well, Mother Nature gave us two out of three days of the holiday weekend and saved her nasty weather for Monday when we should pause and reflect on the lives lost by our service men and women. Both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and…

User 284190339 · 05 – 27 – 24 Fishing Report Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the crowds on the beaches were so thick that a fish would have a hard time threading its way through the lines. A few blues were caught on mullet rigs, but it was just too crowded. The boat traffic…

User 284190339 · 05 – 25 – 24 Fishing Report There were thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday so I cancelled my surf fishing plans and worked at home. Those of you who had all that good fishing on Friday owe me a debt of gratitude. Lewes Harbour Marina reported on Facebook the first Delaware…

User 284190339 · 05 – 24 – 24 Fishing Report While black sea bass season is open and there are lots of them on near-shore structure, the fact that those fish are under the 13-inch size limit has kept most boats looking for other targets. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Katydid is fishing for black…
