Monday was not as bad as predicted, but not a lot of boats went out in the ocean. The rest of the week looks fishable with thunderstorms and fog possible on some days. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Strike Zone came in with a catch of Spanish mackerel. On Saturday, the Ill’ Skipjack…

As predicted, small craft advisories flew on Sunday and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats left their dock or trailer.  Monday does not look good with seas to four feet on the ocean and the chance for thunderstorms. At Lighthouse View Tackle on the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park, the report…

Saturday was a beautiful day to be fishing.  Sunday will be a beautiful day to stay off the water as small craft advisories are already up.  It would not surprise me to see them still up on Monday. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Amanda said sea bass fishing is still producing good catches and the Surface…

Apparently, the seas in the ocean were a bit more nautical than the NOAA forecast predicted. Gee, that seldom happens. The forecast for Saturday is still good. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid and the Savannah Lynn had good numbers of sea bass plus a few flounder on Friday. Billy Talbot and Ricky…

Thursday saw good fishing conditions and this weather will continue for Friday and Saturday. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tommy told us Jeff Tippett, Josh Mullins and Justin Hurley fished from Pooches Pride on ocean Structure to catch 20 triggerfish, four sheepshead and three flounder.  The Savannah Lynn had sea bass and a 15-pound dolphin over…

Big changes are on the way for cobia and tilefish regulations.  The proposed rules will have a three-fish per person bag limit for blueline tiles on private boats, a five fish limit on uninspected charter boats and a seven fish limit on inspected boats.  There will be a closed season from November 1 until April…

Tuesday saw decent fishing conditions and that’s what we will have for the rest of the week. The wind will kick up from the southwest in the afternoon and that’s when the chance for thunderstorms is high, so plan your fishing for early in the day. Some bad news to begin the report. No Flounder…

Monday was still a bit breezy and the ocean was a tad rough, but fish were caught there and in Delaware Bay.  I knew seas of two feet or less was too much to expect for a whole week and sure enough on Wednesday they want southwest at 10 to 15 with gusts to 20…

Sunday was rough on ocean fishermen and catching was not that great.  I can’t believe it, but the rest of the week calls for seas of two feet or less in the ocean. Steve at Smith Bait and Tackle in Leipsic said the Anchorage is producing trout and flounder on Squid, Gulp! and peeler crab. …

Saturday saw a bit of a bumpy ride out in the ocean with smoother seas in Delaware Bay.  Fish were caught in spite of the stiff southwest wind.  Sunday will see more southwest and three-to-four-foot seas in the ocean, but the week ahead calls for seas of two feet or less. The Skipjack had a…

Friday was a good fishing day from Delaware Bay to the Hotdog. Saturday and Sunday will see the ocean go to three-to-four-foot seas with thunderstorms beginning on Saturday evening and continuing until Monday morning. Acie Mankins and his daughter Brooke fished on the Morning Star out of Ocean City and it was Brook’s first trip…

Thursday was another hot summer day and the weekend is going to be even hotter on Friday and Saturday.  Sunday will see cooler temperatures along with the pretty good chance for thunderstorms.   Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em weighed in a 192-pound swordfish that was caught on a squid from the Poorman’s Canyon aboard the Rooster…

Not much change in the weather on Wednesday and that’s a good thing.  The rest of the week looks good with thunderstorms entering the forecast over the weekend. At Lewes Harbour Marina they told us the Katydid had 20 flounder from ocean structure and the Angler caught triggerfish and croaker over bay structure. Jason Schuster…

Tuesday was just a typical summer day and that’s what we are going to have for the rest of the week. The wind will be out of the south southwest and the high temperatures in the afternoon will be in the low 90s. This is a good reason to get out early and fish during…

Monday saw southwest winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas of three to five feet in the ocean. This kept most trips confined to Delaware Bay or the Back Bays. Tuesday looks a bit better with seas of three to four feet and then things are supposed to settle down on Wednesday through Friday…

Saturday was a refreshing day with a northwest wind and lower humidity. Sunday will seas in the ocean building to four feet while the bay remains at two feet or less. Steve, at Smith Bait in Leipsic, checked in a 4-pound, 1-ounce trout for Lawrence Voss. The fish was caught on a Bass Assassin at…

Friday saw small craft warnings up for the ocean and it looks like Saturday will still have seas of three to four feet as the wind drops out to northwest at five to ten knots. The Delaware Bay will see better conditions with seas of less than two feet. Elsa came through so fast I…

Thursday morning was miserable at the beach with high humidity and a sticky south wind.  By afternoon the humidity was still high, but the wind had shifted to the southeast and increased as Elsa came calling.  Friday will be a no fishing day. I want to thank the gentleman who helped me get my boat…

Wednesday began with a stiff north wind that laid down by 10:00 AM.  Thursday and Friday will see the effects of Tropical Storm Elsa. The Falgowski family is at it again.  Evan had a big porgy weighing 2.57 pounds at Fenwick Shoal along with some flounder and tog while father and son Corky and Cory…

Tuesday started off OK, but then the wind and seas came up and small craft advisories flew by afternoon.  Right now, Wednesday looks iffy, but Thursday and Friday are a no go. Stopped by Lewes Harbour Marina where Tommy was finishing up a pile of flounder for the Independence Fishing Club who had been out…

The 4th of July was a beautiful summer day and it looks like the weather will be good until Thursday when we start to see the remnants of the tropical storm. Lewes Harbour Marina reported Michael Steffy weighed in a 5.95-pound trout. He caught this citation fish at the Outer Wall on a sand flea.…
