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.…

User 284190339 · 08-29-25 Fishing Report Thursday was another nice day and fishing saw some improvement. Captain Aaron Herd on the Gale Force had Richie, Brian and Chase out for an afternoon charter at Indian River Inlet. Live spot was the bait and they caught four keeper flounder. One was 19 inches, two were 19.5…

User 284190339 · 08-26-25 Fishing Report Monday the weather could not be blamed for the slow fishing, unless you want to go back to last week and blame the hurricane for messing up the water and the bottom. The only fish that Lewes Harbour Marina saw on Monday were some sheepshead caught by private boats…

User 284190339 · 08-25-25 Fishing Report Sunday was the final day of small craft advisories on the inshore waters. On Monday the seas go to 2 to 3 feet and the rest of the week we will have 2-foot seas on the ocean. Delaware Bay will see similar conditions with light west winds and seas…

User 284190339 · 08-23-25 Fishing Report Friday the sun came out, but small craft advisories were still up on the ocean and seas were running 3 to 4 feet on Delaware Bay. In the canyons, the seas were still 10 to 18 feet. From the reports I received, the ocean came across Route 1 north…

User 284190339 · 08-20-25 Fishing Report Tuesday was an absolutely horrible weather day. The rain was steady and driven by the wind just to get under your hat and in your face. I can’t imagine anyone would be outside, let alone fishing on such a day. The Mid Atlantic Tournament did fish on Monday and…

User 284190339 · 08-18-25 Fishing Report Sunday saw another good weather day, but it was the last for a long time. Small craft advisories are up from Monday morning until Thursday afternoon for seas as high as nine feet. The forecast could be better or worst depending on the track of the hurricane. Lewes Harbour…

User 284190339 · 08-17-25 Fishing Report Saturday was yet another good weather day, but this will all come to an end beginning on Monday when the hurricane passes by and leaves us with high winds and big seas. The leaderboard had not changed by 5:30 on Saturday. The Katydid was still in fourth and the…

User 284190339 · 08-12-25 Fishing Report Monday was a fair-weather day and according to the marine forecast, the rest of the week looks great with lite winds and almost calm seas. According to Lewes Harbour Marina the Katydid was the only charter boat that went out on Monday and they caught 25 keeper flounder. The…

User 284190339 · 08-11-25 Fishing Report The wind finally let up on Sunday and boats were able to fish the ocean and Delaware Bay without taking a beating. Nick Garica and his grandpop fished Delaware Bay beginning at 7:30 a.m. and stayed close to shore just in case those boat problems reared their ugly heads.…

User 284190339 · 08-06-25 Fishing Report Tuesday was a bit rough on the ocean, but boats ran out anyway and some of them even caught fish. The old saying, “Big water, Big fish.” held true on the first day of the White Marlin Open as the Barbara B, out of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, brought…

User 284190339 · 08-05-25 Fishing Report Monday saw the wind stay northeast and the White Marlin Open extend their tournament by two days. Instead of ending on Friday, the contest will run through Sunday, August 9. This extension did not encourage more boats to enter as the total number is now 282, a far cry…

User 284190339 · 07-19-25 Fishing Report Friday saw beautiful weather with light winds and calm seas. DNREC released a new state record golden tilefish. Logan Smith is the angler who went out on Blue Betty II with Captain Austin Decker and fished in 650 feet of water at the Poormans Canyon with a whole squid…

User 284190339 · 07-12-25 Fishing Report Friday saw pretty much the same nice weather we have seen for the past few days. Dan’s Tackle told us Broadkill Beach has decent fishing for spot, croaker and kings on bloodworms, FishBites and squid strips. The Broadkill River gives up the occasional keeper flounder on large minnows, jigs…

User 284190339 · 07-08-25 Fishing Report The big news on Monday is the lifting of reservations on 7 of 12 drive-on beaches. DNREC has decided to remove the necessary reservation on weekends and holidays for Key Box, Conquest and Faithful Steward beaches at Delaware Seashore State Park. York, Middle and South beaches at Fenwick Island…

User 284190339 · 07-07-25 Fishing Report Sunday saw a bit more wind and that didn’t help the fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Katydid brought in 20 sea bass and 12 flounder to 7.5 pounds from ocean structure on Sunday. Dave Popovich had a limit of sea bass and one flounder. Private boats caught sheepshead…

User 284190339 · 07-01-25 Fishing Report It was a stormy Monday, but fishing was not too bad between the rain drops. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Surface Tension fished ocean structure for a catch of flounder, the head boat Angler fished bay structure and caught croaker and the Chasin’ Tail brought in sea bass…

User 284190339 · 06-28-25 Fishing Report Friday was not a very pleasant day for fishing unless you compare it to the three 100-plus degree days that preceded the mid-70-degree day we had to end the week. The high east winds and accompanying seas that joined the fog made for less than favorable boating conditions, but…

User 284190339 · 06-27-25 Fishing Report Thursday was considerably cooler than Wednesday, but the fishing didn’t heat up. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa reported that James Temple caught a Delaware Citation 1.68-pound Crappie out of Noxontown Pond on a minnow. Doug Smith had a Delaware Citation 5.21-pound Snakehead from the waters of Delaware City.…
