Tuesday was an absolutely delightful day to be on the water. Hardly a breath of air and a slick calm sea. There was a haze that cut visibility, but it burned off by late morning. My friend Doug Elliott and I left Lewes Boat Ramp in my 16-foot tin boat around 7:30 AM and ran…

Monday was another rough day on the ocean, but it looks like we will get some relief come Tuesday. Right now, NOAA weather calls for south winds of five to ten knots with seas of two feet or less on the ocean. Delaware Bay will see southeast winds of five to ten knots with seas…

Sunday once again saw small craft advisories up and not much action on the bay or ocean.  Monday will see winds out of the southwest at 15 to 20 knots, diminishing to five to ten knots by afternoon.  Seas will run around three feet.  Tuesday calls for southeast winds at five to ten knots and…

Saturday September 11, 2021 saw pretty much the same fishing as we have had for a while.   Flounder and sea bass in the ocean and not much from the surf or inlet. I can’t let the 20th anniversary of the horrendous attacks on America that occurred 20 years ago pass without comment.  I was fishing…

Friday was another blowout for Delaware fishermen. To the best of my knowledge, no boats left their dock or trailer on Friday and with small craft advisories already up for Saturday, with south winds at 10 to 15 with gusts to 20 and seas of five to seven feet , I don’t think too many…

Thursday saw small craft advisories up and they will be up through Saturday morning.  We had ¾-inch of rain at my house on Thursday so if anyone went fishing, they love it a lot more than I do.  I do have a few reports left over from earlier in the week.  Robbie from Lewes Harbour…

As nice as it was on Tuesday is just how bad it was on Wednesday.  Small craft advisories were up for Wednesday and they will be up again for Thursday as winds are predicted to go west at five to ten knots and seas build to five feet.  Friday the wind will go northwest at…

Tuesday saw perfect fishing weather with a calm wind and slick seas on Delaware Bay. The ocean was equally calm, but that will be the last day this week for good weather. Small craft advisories are up for Wednesday with winds of 10 to 15 knots out of the south in the morning going to…

Monday, we had a bit more wind and rain on the ocean than the forecast called for.  The Morning Star out of Ocean City, Maryland said things didn’t settle down until well after lunch, but he was still able to find some nice dolphin and lots of bailers for his customers.  Tuesday looks good with…

Sunday saw winds and seas a little bit more than the NOAA weather report called for.  This is not unprecedented.  Monday calls for winds out of the west at five to ten knots and seas of three to four feet.  Tuesday will see west winds of five to ten knots with seas of two feet…

Saturday saw beautiful conditions and boats were able to fish inshore, offshore and in Delaware Bay.  Sunday will see winds pick up to 10 to 15 with gusts to 20 knots out of the southwest in the morning then go to 15 to 20 southwest in the afternoon.  Seas will be three to four feet. …

Saturday saw rough seas in the ocean and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats ventured out there.  Delaware Bay was better and at least one boat did fish there.  Saturday looks good with light north winds of five to ten knots and seas of two feet or less on the ocean.  The wind…

Small craft advisories were up for Thursday and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats left the dock or trailer.  Friday may be a bit too rough on the ocean for many boats.  Delaware Bay could see some fishermen on Friday, but Saturday is a better bet.  The high tides brought on by the…

Tuesday was the last fishable day until Saturday.  There is a gale warning up for Wednesday and Thursday. Captain Aaron Hurd from the Gale Force took a busman’s holiday and fished on the Katydid on Monday catching a 6.12-pound flounder as part of their boat limit plus several dolphin. At Rick’s Bait and Tackle we…

Monday was a beautiful fishing day and lots of fish were caught. Tuesday looks like more of the same, then everything goes downhill right into the weekend. At Rick’s Bait and Tackle we learned that Jason Laux and Jaxen Edwards both caught identical 10.8-pound dolphin while fishing with their dads over ocean structure. Alen Rosenberger…

Sunday saw rough seas on the ocean, so many boats fished in the bay. A few tried the ocean and either came back to the dock or took a beating. The rest of the week remains unsettled with light winds and rough seas plus a chance of rain every day and the remains of the…

Saturday was just a bit cooler with a light breeze.  Sunday will see the wind go northeast at ten knots with seas of three to four feet on the ocean and two feet or less on Delaware Bay. I must begin this report with sad news.  Captain Chris Ragni, Sr. lost his life due to…

More hot and calm weather on Friday brought more good fishing.  Saturday and Sunday also look good with a chance of thunderstorms. Frank Tucker fished with Jeff and his grandson Jimmy at the Old Grounds.  They caught 17 flounder keeping 10 between 17.5 and 22 inches.  On the way out they hit the blues at…

Thursday was another good fishing day and believe or not, but at this point, the weekend looks good as well.  You may have to dodge a few thunderstorms, but seas on the ocean and bay are supposed to run two to three feet with light winds. Garret and Meg Talley fished on the Chasin’ Tail…

Wednesday saw picture perfect weather and the fishing was excellent.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marine said the Katydid had flounder, the Surface Tension had dolphin and sea bass as did the Grizzly all over ocean structure.  At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em Deanna told us the Captain Ike had limits of dolphin and sea bass. …

Tuesday was a beautiful day to be fishing.  Unfortunately, I was working.  The rest of the week looks good as well so hopefully, we can all get out and enjoy some good action on the bay and ocean. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a mixed bag of dolphin, sea bass and…

Monday was back to hot and humid weather at the beach with a bit of a south breeze.  The rest of the week will see wind of five to fifteen knots and seas on the ocean running three to four feet. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tommy reported that the Katydid came in with 37 flounder…
