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…

User 284190339 · 09 – 05 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday after Labor Day is always a slow fishing day. Not because the fish aren’t there, but because the fishermen have gone home. Fishing pressure is always light in the fall when the fishing can be good and the weather pleasant. Yet in the spring,…

User 284190339 · 09 – 01 – 23 Fishing Report Friday was another small craft advisory day and they will stay up through Saturday morning. No charter or head boats went out of Lewes or Indian River on Friday. I am sure a few will brave the conditions on Saturday morning and hope the forecast…

User 284190339 · 08 – 29 – 23 Fishing Report With small craft advisories up at least until late Wednesday, I don’t expect many boats to be out on the ocean. Some of the Lewes fleet will fish Delaware Bay where the seas will be less intimidating. At Lewes Harbour Marina I spoke with Chris,…

User 284190339 · 08 – 28 – 23 Fishing Report Monday, oh blue Monday. I believe Fats Domino sang about Blue Monday when the weather was bad for fishing and he had to work like a slave all day. Well, Monday was just the beginning of a week of bad fishing weather with seas building…

User 284190339 · 08 – 25 – 23 Fishing Report Friday saw small craft advisories up and no boats out on the ocean or bay. Lewes Harbour Marina said Bill McGrath fished the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and caught a 5.72-pound trout on a peeler crab. On Thursday Captain Brent on the Katydid caught a…

User 284190339 · 08 – 24 – 23 Fishing Report Thursday was a good fishing day and fish were caught from the ocean and bay. Lewes Harbour Marina said the Surface Tension had flounder and dolphin for her party over ocean structure. The Angler caught croaker and flounder over bay structure. Breakwater Tackle on the…

User 284190339 · 08 – 22 – 23 Fishing Report While NOAA did not issue small craft advisories, charter boat captains knew that northeast winds at 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 would make for some very uncomfortable conditions for their passengers. Therefore, no charter boats left the dock on Tuesday. A few…

User 284190339 · 08 – 15 – 23 Fishing Report Tuesday was not a good day to go fishing. Rough seas prevented many boats from running to the ocean flounder and sea bass grounds and those that did found the fishing was not worth the effort. Lewes Harbour Marina said the high boat for the…

User 284190339 · 08 – 10 – 23 Fishing Report A threat of thunderstorms kept many folks, the smart ones, off the water on Thursday. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Chris Eastburn party charted the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans on Wednesday and Chris managed to catch a 6-pound flounder, but Jack McLaughlin took…

User 284190339 · 08 – 04 – 23 Fishing Report Friday was not the best fishing day with the wind making for rough conditions on the ocean and bay. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em weighed in a 224-pound bigeye tuna on Thursday caught on the Elizabeth Ann with Captain Jim Bunting. The anglers were Tom…

User 284190339 · 07 – 31 – 23 Fishing Report Monday was a tad breezy on the ocean, but the fishing wasn’t all that bad. I attended the Advisory Council On Bluefish on Monday afternoon and you may be happy to hear that the bluefish regulations will remain status quo for 2024. My comment was…

User 284190339 · 07 – 30 – 23 Fishing Report Sunday was beautiful! Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a few flounder as the ocean was still a bit stirred up after the storms from Saturday night. The Falgowski Family Tournament was held on Saturday and Ryan came in first with a 6.53-pound flounder.…
