User 284190339 · 06 – 11 – 24 Fishing Report Monday was a beautiful day to be on the beach and I was there from 8:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Still, I have yet to catch a fish in 2024. I did have several bites that chewed up my Gulp! bloodworm, but no fish on…

User 284190339 · 06 – 08 – 24 Fishing Report Friday was a bit windy and much cooler and lots of fish were caught. Old Inlet reported that bluefish were caught during incoming water with bucktails and metal lures the top producers. Medium to large striped bass were caught at night from the North Jetty…

User 284190339 · 06 – 05 – 24 Fishing Report On Tuesday we had a refreshing breeze off the ocean to cool things off and the fishing did seem to be a bit better than it was on Monday. The Coastal Fisherman did report the first white marlin of the year for Ocean City caught…

User 284190339 · 06 – 04 – 24 Fishing Report Monday saw sunshine, light winds and slow fishing in the ocean and bay. As it has been all spring, the fishing in the surf and Inlet has been better than it has been from boats. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Katydid came back from ocean…

User 284190339 · 05 – 29 – 24 Fishing Report According to Burt at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em the wind was against the current for a good part of the day and that cut down on the flounder catch. The Captain Bob and the Judy V both had some flounder and sea bass, but…

User 284190339 · 05 – 26 – 24 Fishing Report I fished Broadkill Beach from 6:30 until 11;00 a.m. and the only thing I caught were horseshoe crabs. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Katydid and the Surface Tension caught flounder and sea bass for their parties. Several private boats fished in Delaware Bay and…

User 284190339 · 05 – 18 – 24 Fishing Report The Lewes Harbour Marina Canal Flounder Tournament took place on Friday and 647 anglers paid $50.00 each to participate. Of that $50.00, $10.00 was donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Network. The winners were Freddy Wilkerson with a 5.69-pound flounder in first place. In second was…

User 284190339 · 05 – 04 – 24 Fishing Report Friday came through as advertised, cold and windy with northeast winds at 15 to 20. With small craft advisories up boats did not go to open waters. After Dan at Dan’s Tackle reported catching two 8-pound trout in his drift gill nets I figured we…

User 284190339 · 05 – 01 – 24 Fishing Report Tuesday was warm again at the beach, but we had a refreshing breeze. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that no charter boats ran on Tuesday but a few private boats did venture out. One ran to the Outer Wall and returned with 3 tog. The other…

User 284190339 · 04 – 20 – 24 Fishing Report Friday was just cold and nasty at the beach. I had planned to fish Broadkill Beach on Friday, but the northeast wind and lack of any warming sunshine convinced my old bones to stay inside. Dan at Dan’s tackle in Milton told me he knows…

User 284190339 · 04 – 17 – 24 Fishing Report Tuesday was a tad cooler than Monday with a light east breeze just right for my first fishing trip of the year. I headed down to Indian River Inlet around noon to catch the incoming current and hopefully a few hickory shad. The Northside Parking…

User 284190339 · 04 – 09 – 24 Fishing Report Monday saw a solar eclipse and the first good fishing report from the ocean. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid ran her first trip of 2024 and returned with 23 tog from ocean structure. The local Tog Club also went out with two boats.…

User 284190339 · 04 – 06 – 24 Fishing Report With a mixture of sun and clouds and temperatures in the 50s plus small craft advisories fishing was once again slow on Friday. Looks like the same conditions on Saturday, but if we can get through the weekend, next week is looking better. I did…

User 284190339 · 04 – 03 – 24 Fishing Report Monday was bad, Tuesday was worst and Wednesday, fuhgeddaboudit. My dogwood tree is getting ready to bloom which means the shad should be here, but nobody told the shad. There have been a few reports of hickory shad at Fletcher’s Boathouse on the Potomac River,…

User 284190339 · 04 – 02 – 24 Fishing Report If anyone went fishing on Monday, they were more in love with the sport than I. I was outside doing grocery shopping and it was miserable. The rain came down in sheets along with a cold, east wind and if not for my Gore-Tex rain…

User 284190339 · 04 – 01 – 24 Fishing Report The cold, windy and wet weather has delayed spring and made for poor fishing conditions. At Dan’s Tackle in Milton, they summed it up pretty well. When the wind is out of the east we have flood tides and rain. When it is from the…

User 284190339 · 12 – 05 – 23 Fishing Report As promised, I am back with news of big striped bass along the Delaware coast, but that is not the big news. What we have now is something I have never seen in Delaware waters. Hillery Graves fishing on the Bird Dog with Captain Chip…

User 284190339 · 12 – 01 – 23 Fishing Report My daily fishing reports are done until spring, but I will be back with updates should the big striped bass make a showing at the mouth of Delaware Bay or anywhere along the Delaware coast. Right now, they are in abundance in New Jersey and…

User 284190339 · 11 – 30 – 23 Fishing Report Thursday was about as good a fishing day as you can expect for the end of November. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid brought in a catch of sea bass and the Grizzly had a catch of tog. I can report that the Angler…

User 284190339 · 11 – 28 – 23 Fishing Report If anyone went fishing on Tuesday they are just plain nuts. If you ventured outside at all you know how cold it was and those gale-force winds didn’t make it any better. I did receive the bad news from our good friends at NOAA this…

User 284190339 · 11 – 27 – 23 Fishing Report Monday there were small craft advisories and on Tuesday we will see gale warnings. Perhaps a few hardy souls will try the Inlet for tog, but that’s it. Beginning on November 28, you can get your Delaware Annual Surf Fishing Permits and Annual Passes. They…

User 284190339 · 11 – 24 – 23 Fishing Report Friday saw small craft advisories up and few boats on the water. Lewes Harbour Marina said while no charter or head boats ran on Friday a few private boats fish the Delaware Bay structure like the Outer Wall and the Ice Breakers with sand fleas…
