No one fished on Saturday and it looks like no one will be fishing until sometime late next week as there will be 10-foot seas on the ocean as late as Wednesday. There will be some changes to the regulations for black sea bass, summer flounder and scup (porgies). Beginning on May 1st, the size…

A few folks fished on Friday and they caught a few fish. I fished on Thursday evening at Indian River Inlet. I figured with the approaching storm, a falling barometer and the beginning of an incoming current right at sunset, the rockfish should be snapping. Wrong. The current never got running until after 9:30 PM…

Thursday was the last fishable day for the next few days as a hard nor’easter moves across the Cape Region. Seas are forecasted to 12 feet in the ocean behind northeast winds to 45 knots. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina had some exciting news. Captain Brent Wiest on the Katydid caught a pending Delaware State…

Wednesday saw a lot of fog and some showers, but boats still went out of Lewes and caught some tog at the Outer Wall and from ocean structure. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a good catch of tog on Wednesday. Several private boats also fished for tog on Wednesday and found…

Tuesday saw an east wind pretty much shut down the open water fishing. The weekend is not looking good for fishing so take Mom somewhere nice for dinner. Harry Aiken and his son Scott caught a pair of black drum at Broadkill Beach on Tuesday. I suspect they used clam and sand fleas for bait.…

Monday was another good day to be fishing. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said Ed Heite caught a 5.25-pound trout out of Indian River Inlet on a ¼-ounce leadhead and a paddletail shad. They also reported that Grant Barnhart, who caught that big rockfish from the surf at Fenwick Island on a plug, has caught…

A lot of fish were caught on Sunday including tog, flounder and rockfish. The remainder of the week looks fishable and it’s about time. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Katydid came back from ocean structure3 with 30 tog. Several private boats also came in with good numbers of tog also from ocean…

Small craft advisories were up on Friday, but they will be coming down for the weekend. I called Lewes Harbour Marina and Henlopen Bait and Tackle. Once again, the only one who had heard of a fish being caught was Jordan at Henlopen. He had a few scattered reports of tiny bluefish at Broadkill Beach…

Small craft advisories were up on Thursday and, as I suspected, they will be up again on Friday. I called Lewes Harbour Marina, Old Inlet Bait and Tackle and Henlopen Bait and Tackle. The only one who had heard of a fish being caught was Jordan at Henlopen who said one customer called to tell…

Small craft advisories were up on Wednesday and they will be up all-day Thursday and probably up again on Friday. Lewes Harbour Marina said no boats went out on Wednesday, but on Tuesday, William Lindsay weighed in a 19-pound tog he caught on the On Delivery with Captain Mike Rivera. At Rick’s Bait and Tackle…

Ah spring, summer on Tuesday and back to winter on Wednesday. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said the Katydid had tog and a private boat also found some tog. Baits were green crab and sand fleas. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle the report was excellent shad fish during incoming water at Indian River Inlet.…

It was a blue Monday unless you were catching shad out of Indian River Inlet. That’s according to Old Inlet Bait and Tackle. While hickory shad are not exactly top table fare, they put up a good fight and will take to the air just like their cousins the tarpon. To get the most out…

Sunday completed a weekend of good fishing. At Lewes Harbour Marina they reported the Katydid had a limit of tog for her party. On Saturday, Raymond Maxwell, Jr. caught a Delaware Citation 10.5-pound tog on the Katydid. Sunday saw several private boats get in on the tog action and return from the ocean with limits.…

Saturday saw continued good fishing. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Katydid, the Top Fin and the Savannah Lynn all had good numbers of tog. Sandy Davis had an 8.74-pound tog on the Katydid. Billy Mister caught a 21-inch tog at the Outer Wall on a shrimp. Burt at Hook ‘em and Cook…

Friday spring finally sprung. My son Roger and I fished Indian River Inlet from the north side just west of the bridge. We arrived at 9:30 AM at slack low water and as soon as we had the slightest bit of incoming current the shad bite was on. Roger used a Speck Rig and had…

Thursday was a bit more windy and cooler than called for. Lewes Harbour Marina didn’t see a fish all day as none of their charter or head boats left the dock. Henlopen Bait and Tackle and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle didn’t answer the phone. Patty at Captain Bones did record several freshwater citations. Jymier…

Wednesday was a decent day at the beach and the weather will continue to improve through Friday. Jordan at Henlopen Bait and Tackle had a customer fish from his kayak at the junction of Canary Creek and the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. He used a white bucktail with a white swimbait to catch and release…

The nor’easter we had on Monday night left us with a hard north wind on Tuesday and no one I spoke with had heard of anyone fishing. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the Inlet was flooded on Monday night and if the Inlet was flooded then the marsh was flooded as well. That means…

If you stepped outside on Monday, you have a pretty good idea why nobody went fishing. Tuesday won’t be much better. I did get a freshwater report from Sunday morning. Ed O’Donnell fished the fly-fishing only section of White Clay Creek and hooked 12 trout, landing eight. He had two browns and six rainbows. The…

There was a small craft advisory up on Sunday and a gale warning is expected on Monday. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter, Passover and Ramadan holiday. Every reporting station I called on Sunday was closed. There will be a major change in the black sea bass regulations beginning on May 15. The minimum size…

Fishing was outstanding on Saturday! Mrs. Taylor at Taylored Tackle said Colt Williamson caught a 9.60-pound snakehead on a spinnerbait out of the Nanticoke River on Saturday. She also reported good white perch fishing at the Laurel spillway and at Phillips Landing. Bloodworms have been the best bait for the perch. At Lewes Harbour Marina…
