User 284190339 · 10-19-25 Fishing Report Saturday was as close to a perfect fishing day as we are going to get until sometime next week. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Katydid and the Jay Sea II had boat limits of sea bass from ocean structure. Private boats that didn’t fish for sea bass caught…

User 284190339 · 10-18-25 Fishing Report Friday was just a tad chilly with a northwest wind and small craft advisories. Saturday’s forecast looks to be as good as we are going to get for a while and both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em told us some boats are going fishing in…

User 284190339 · 10-17-25 Fishing Report Thursday saw those small craft advisories up once again and they will be up through Friday. Saturday calls for light winds and 3 to 4-foot seas so if you have a big enough boat and don’t suffer from mal de mar you might get out for some sea bass…

User 284190339 · 10-16-25 Fishing Report Wednesday saw small craft advisories up and they will be up through Thursday. From the long-range forecast it looks like they will be up right through the weekend with 15 to 20-knot winds and 5 to 7-foot seas. Sure am glad I no longer run my charter boat business.…

User 284190339 · 10-15-25 Fishing Report For those of you who might not remember, that bright orange ball in the sky on Tuesday afternoon was the sun. It has been hidden by clouds for so long, I was afraid it had gone out. I finally got the results of the Delaware Mobile Surf-Fishermen’s 19th Annual…

User 284190339 · 10-12-25 Fishing Report Saturday was almost a no fishing day, but we were able to get reports from Old Inlet and Breakwater Tackle. Both shops said they may not be open on Sunday or Monday as the worst of the nor’easter goes by. I didn’t call Lewes Harbour Marina or Hook ‘em…

User 284190339 · 10-10-25 Fishing Report Thursday was another day lost to fishing on open water as no boats went out of Lewes or Indian River. The weather is really going to get bad over the weekend as winds are forecast to blow at 40 knots and gust to 60. Seas on the ocean are…

User 284190339 · 10-09-25 Fishing Report Wednesday, we had small craft advisories up and they will be up until Thursday afternoon. Unless you are ready for an early Halloween scare, don’t read the marine forecast for the weekend. Both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em reported no boats sailed from their docks…

User 284190339 · 10-03-25 Fishing Report Thursday was one of those days when my reporting stations had one thing in common, no fish caught. It seemed to me that the wind blew harder on Thursday with a small craft advisory than it did on Wednesday with a gale warning. According to the National Weather Service…

User 284190339 · 10-02-25 Fishing Report Wednesday was such a beautiful fall day. Hardly a cloud in the sky and bright sunshine all day long. Nice cool temperatures, what more could you want? Wind, what wind? Oh, you mean that gale warning with 20 to 30-knot northeast winds and 7 to 10-foot seas. Small craft…

User 284190339 · 10-01-25 Fishing Report Tuesday, we had a small craft advisory that will become a gale warning on Wednesday. No boats ventured out into the ocean, but a few did fish the Outer Wall and the Ice Breakers. Lewes Harbour Marina said two private boats bought sand fleas and green crabs and went…

User 284190339 · 09-28-25 Fishing Report  

User 284190339 · 09-26-25 Fishing Report Thursday saw some rough weather on the ocean and according to Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em no boats ventured out. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa said the snakeheads are really coming alive in the headwaters of several tidal creeks and rivers. Two of the…

User 284190339 · 09-25-25 Fishing Report The weather wasn’t perfect on Wednesday, but boats went fishing anyway and were justly rewarded. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that two boats ventured out to ocean structure. The Katydid returned with 16 flounder and 38 sea bass. The Surface Tension had 90 sea bass and that sounds like a…

User 284190339 · 09-24-25 Fishing Report The weather was fishable on Tuesday, and folks made the best of it. Lewes Harbour Marina told us only one boat went out on Tuesday. The Katydid ran to ocean structure and returned with 38 flounder and 42 black sea bass. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape…

User 284190339 · 09-21-25 Fishing Report The weather went downhill on Saturday and the fishing followed suit. Lewes Harbour Marina said none of their boats left the dock on Saturday while Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em told us one boat ran out to the Del-Jersey-Land Reef to catch six mahi. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing…

User 284190339 · 09-19-25 Fishing Report Thursday saw a little better weather and better fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans brought in 18 flounder and 80 black sea bass. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa checked in a Delaware Citation Flounder for Chris Curlatt. The big flatfish tipped the…

 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. Breakwater Tackle said the only fish they saw caught all day between the rain drops were some spot on bloodworms or Fishbites.…

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…
