User 284190339 · 10 – 24 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday was as nice as advertised. Boats from Lewes and Indian River ran to ocean structure and came back with sea bass limits plus triggerfish, flounder and porgies. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the tog and sheepshead action continues at Indian River Inlet with…

User 284190339 · 10 – 23 – 23 Fishing Report Monday saw small craft advisories up in the morning and that was enough to keep the boats off the ocean and bay. Tuesday and Wednesday look good right now and we should have more reports tomorrow. Sea bass fishing has been good and that hopefully…

User 284190339 · 10 – 20 – 23 Fishing Report Not to anyone’s great surprise, no boats left the dock at Lewes Harbour Marina or out of Indian River Marina. If you believe the NOAA Marine Weather Forecast, they won’t be going on Saturday or Sunday so that’s another blown out weekend. Breakwater Tackle on…

User 284190339 · 10 – 19 – 23 Fishing Report If you didn’t go fishing on Thursday you won’t be going again until sometime next week. Even Captain Brent on the Katydid has cancelled his charters so you know the weather is going to be bad. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the only boat that…

User 284190339 · 10 – 17 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday brought bad news from Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources. The Chesapeake Bay’s striped bass young of the year numbers are out and they are dismal. The average is 1.02, the second lowest number since they began conducting the survey in 1954. The Atlantic States…

User 284190339 · 10 – 10 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday was the reopening of black sea bass season and the weather was good, so I expected a lot of boats to be on the ocean. Boy was I wrong. As far as my two reporting stations, Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook…

User 284190339 · 10 – 09 – 23 Fishing Report On Monday I spoke with Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. Both reported that no boats left the dock on Monday, but they expect quite a few to sail on Tuesday when black sea bass season reopens. The Delaware Mobile Surf Fisherman’s…

User 284190339 · 10 – 06 – 23 Fishing Report Friday saw some rough conditions on the ocean and there will be small craft advisories up on Saturday and Sunday. Mike at Lewes Harbour Marrina said a private boat fished the Outer Wall with sand fleas and caught sheepshead. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said…

User 284190339 · 10 – 02 – 23 Fishing Report Monday was a lovely day on shore, but small craft advisories flew on the ocean. Lewes Harbour Marina said while no charter boats left the dock on Monday, Kyle Falgowski fished bay structure and caught a 13.38-pound sheepshead. Breakwater Tackle reported a good day on…

User 284190339 · 10 – 01 – 23 Fishing Report The sun returned on Sunday, but it didn’t do anything to settle the seas down. Small craft advisories flew all day and they will be up all day on Monday. To the best of my knowledge, no boats went out of Lewes or Indian River.…

User 284190339 · 09 – 30 – 23 Fishing Report Saturday was another lousy day on the water with small craft advisories up through Monday. The wind is forecast to stay out of the east all of next week with seas running to 5 feet as well. At least the sun, you remember the sun,…

User 284190339 · 09 – 29 – 23 Fishing Report Small craft advisories flew on Friday and will be up through Sunday. A light rain fell most of the day. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park reported one or two folks did go out on the pier during the rain,…

User 284190339 · 09 – 28 – 23 Fishing Report Small craft advisories flew on Thursday and will be up through Saturday. No boats left the docks and fishing was generally slow anywhere folks could find to wet a line. Breakwater Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park said a few spot…

User 284190339 · 09 – 26 – 23 Fishing Report With a gale warning up on Tuesday and seas running to 8 feet for the rest of the week, I don’t know when we will be back out on the water. I made a serious error when I reported the new state record blue catfish…

User 284190339 · 09 – 25 – 23 Fishing Report Monday saw fishable weather, but the fish were still recovering from the big seas of the past few days. The rest of the week looks to be a washout with small craft advisories up until Wednesday morning and I expect them to remain up until…

User 284190339 · 09 – 19 – 23 Fishing Report I am sure everybody on land thought Tuesday was a beautiful day. Unfortunately, those who tried to fish out on the ocean found it not so nice. No boats even tried to fish out of Lewes and one did try from Indian River Marina, but…

User 284190339 · 09 – 18 – 23 Fishing Report Monday was not a good day for fishing in the ocean or bay. No boats left the dock at Lewes Harbour Marina or out of Indian River Marina. I spent over an hour checking Facebook and could not find a single local fishing report. At…

User 284190339 · 09 – 12 – 23 Fishing Report The rain on Tuesday was heavy in one place and light in another. Fish were caught where it wasn’t raining or before or after the rain. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said the Katydid was the only charter boat that went out on Tuesday and…

User 284190339 · 09 – 11 – 23 Fishing Report Even more rain on Monday, but fishermen still had a good day in the ocean. No one answered the phone at Lewes Harbour Marina an indication that they closed early due to a lack of fish on the cleaning table. On Sunday, Billy Talbot, Jammie…

User 284190339 · 09 – 10 – 23 Fishing Report We had a good bit of rain on Sunday. Over ½-inch at my house. Still, fish were caught between the rain drops. I hope everyone will take a moment or two today to reflect back on September 11, 2001 when we suffered the worst attack…

User 284190339 · 09 – 09 – 23 Fishing Report From the reports I received on Saturday it sounds like everybody had a pretty good day. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said all the charter boats, the Katydid, the Sea Jay II the Grizzly and the Bottom Line had great catches of flounder, sea bass,…

User 284190339 · 09 – 07 – 23 Fishing Report Thursday was another warm day, but fishing remained good. The main complaint I heard was the flies that continue to feast on anglers from the beach to the canyons. Take as much DEET as you can because as long as the wind is out of…
