User 284190339 · 10-27-25 Fishing Report Sunday my son Ric and I went fishing on the Angler out of Ocean City, Maryland. I have not been fishing since last December and just getting out on the water was a thrill, being with Ric made it even better and catching some quality sea bass, a triggerfish,…

User 284190339 · 10-26-25 Fishing Report Saturday was a beautiful fall day with hardly a breeze to stir the water. Sunday is forecast to be the same, but Monday, fuhgeddaboudit. Lewes Harbour Marina said one private boat came in with triggerfish and tog from ocean structure. The Chasin’ Tail had a catch of sea bass…

User 284190339 · 10-21-25 Fishing Report Monday saw a very strong west wind and it brought chilly air as well as small craft advisories. The rest of the week the wind remains out of the west and the seas settle down to 3 to 4 feet. The only reporting station with a report was Old…

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. I had to go out to Milton for medical appointments and the roads were flooded as well as the parking lot behind the library. To the best of my knowledge,…

User 284190339 · 10-13-25 Fishing Report Sunday, we had a storm warning and lots of rain. Breakwater Tackle and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said they would be closed on Sunday along with Lewes Harbour and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. If anyone went fishing, they need to seek help from a mental health professional.…

User 284190339 · 10-11-25 Fishing Report Friday was the beginning of the hard nor’easter that is going to wipe out the weekend into early next week. Winds are expected to gust to 60 knots and seas inshore are going to build to 18 feet. In the canyons, the seas will be 27 feet. No boats…

User 284190339 · 10-08-25 Fishing Report Tuesday was the beginning of another run of bad weather days. Small craft advisories went up in the afternoon and they may be raised to a gale warning before we get back to fishable weather. Lewes Harbour Marina said a few boats went out, but none brought any fish…

User 284190339 · 10-07-25 Fishing Report Monday was another nice day and if you were in the right place at the right time fishing was pretty good. Then again, that’s always the way. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the boats that ran from there fished the Outer Wall and the Ice breakers with sand fleas…

User 284190339 · 10-06-25 Fishing Report Fishing was slow again on Sunday, although the weather was nice. Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid ran to ocean structure and caught a grand total of four flounder. Looks like my advice to go flounder fishing until sea bass season reopens was not so good. 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. The only problem was, other than sheepshead, fishing was terrible. Lewes Harbour Marina said sheepshead and some triggerfish were caught at the Outer Wall and the Ice…

User 284190339 · 10-04-25 Fishing Report Friday was a beautiful day and the wind did drop out, but no one ran to the ocean. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that nine boats fished the Outer Wall and the Ice Breakers with sand fleas and green crab and all caught sheepshead. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier…

User 284190339 · 09-30-25 Fishing Report Monday was the beginning of a week of nasty weather. We are going from small craft advisories to gale warnings back to small craft advisories. Lewes Harbour Marina said no boats left their docks and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em did not answer the phone. Breakwater Tackle on the…

User 284190339 · 09-29-25 Fishing Report Sunday saw the beginning of some rough weather, but fish were caught. Old Inlet ran their 28th Fall Surf Fishing Classic on Saturday and John Anderson placed First in the Open Division with 219 points. Cindy Cycyk was first in the Woman’s Division with 92 points and Scarlett Moore…

User 284190339 · 09-27-25 Fishing Report The weather was good on Friday and the boats that ran to the ocean took advantage of it and caught a lot of sea bass. Saturday looks good as well. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Katydid was the only boat out on Friday and Chris must have cleaned the…

User 284190339 · 09-23-25 Fishing Report Monday was not as bad as the marine forecast predicted. Unfortunately, most captains listened to the forecast and stayed in port. A friend of mine in Virginia Beach said if you listen to the National Weather Service you will either go broke or drown. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em…

User 284190339 · 09-22-25 Fishing Report Our old friend small craft advisory was up on Sunday and will be up on Monday as well. No one answered the phone at Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said no boats ventured into the ocean on Sunday. They did clean two fish from boats…

User 284190339 · 09-20-25 Fishing Report Friday saw summer-like weather and excellent fishing. The weekend promises more northeast wind and more rough seas. My reporter at Lewes Harbour Marina was ready with a list of successful fishermen. The Jay Sea II had 19 flounder and 11 sea bass. The Chasin’ Tail brought in 12 flounder…

User 284190339 · 09-15-25 Fishing Report The first report I got on Sunday was from Nick Garcia who fished Delaware Bay with his grandpop. They began fishing at 7:00 a.m. and for the first two hours they only caught short flounder and panfish. Then Nick caught an 18-inch flounder. It was another two hours before…

User 284190339 · 09-14-25 Fishing Report Saturday was the day we have all been waiting for. The weather was perfect and the fish were hungry. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Jay Sea III had flounder, sea bass and triggerfish, the Bottom Line had sea bass and the Shooter Dog had sea bass, flounder and…

User 284190339 · 09-13-25 Fishing Report Friday saw better weather than we have seen in a week. Both the ocean and the bay were fishable and while not many boats went out, those that did caught fish. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Katydid brought in a boat limit of flounder. The Shooter Dog had…

User 284190339 · 09-12-25 Fishing Report Thursday was the first day in a week when fishing was actually possible. Catching was not red hot, but at least people were able to fish. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa recorded two snakehead citations. David Wagoner caught a 4.89 pounder in Delaware City on a frog and…

User 284190339 · 09-10-25 Fishing Report Tuesday was just a nasty day. Small craft advisories were up on the ocean and on Delaware Bay with seas of 7 feet on the ocean and 4 feet on Delaware Bay. I am sure a few die-hard anglers fished the Indian River Inlet and the fishing pier at…

User 284190339 · 09-09-25 Fishing Report Monday was a blowout and small craft advisories are up through Wednesday on the ocean and through Tuesday and most likely Wednesday on Delaware Bay. Winds are forecast to blow hard northeast right through Friday. No boats went out of Lewes or Indian River Marina. Hook ‘em and Cook…

User 284190339 · 09-08-25 Fishing Report If anyone went fishing on Sunday, they love a fish more then I do. The new week is not looking good as winds are going to be 15 to 20 from the northwest or northeast so it is going to be rough either on the ocean or the bay.…
