User 284190339 · 11-17-25 Fishing Report Sunday, we had a gale warning that will carry through till Monday. Mid-week looks fishable right now. Let’s hope so! The Jay Sea II did sail out of Indian River Marina on Saturday and they caught a boat limit of tog. Fred had a 10 pounder, but Cody had…

User 284190339 · 11-09-25 Fishing Report Saturday, we got a small break in the nasty weather and that’s what it was, a small break. Not only is the wind going to blow from every direction known to man, there is even snow in the forecast. Burt from Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em called me because…

User 284190339 · 11-04-25 Fishing Report Monday was pretty calm at my house and I am fairly close to the bay and ocean. However, the ocean was rough enough to keep most boats at the dock. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid did try to run for tog, but after catching a few it…

User 284190339 · 10-27-25 Fishing Report Sunday my son Ric and I went fishing on the Angler out of Ocean City, Maryland.

User 284190339 · 10-14-25 Fishing Report If anything, Monday was worse than Sunday. The wind went northwest, the temperature dropped and it rained even harder.

User 284190339 · 10-06-25 Fishing Report Fishing was slow again on Sunday, although the weather was nice.

The boats that…

User 284190339 · 10-05-25 Fishing Report Saturday was the kind of day fisherman dream about. Light winds, small seas so you can fish just about anywhere you want.
