Tuesday saw small craft advisories up and apparently not much action on the fishing front.  Only one tackle shop answered my calls and that was Lewes Harbour Marina.  Their report was nothing reported on Tuesday.  The weather looks a bit unsettled for the rest of the week. Wednesday, April 14, is the day DNREC will…

Monday was not a pretty day for fishing. We had east winds and a heavy fog that made being outside pretty miserable, especially in the morning. Small craft advisories are up for Tuesday. Dan at Dan’s Tackle said the weather and sea conditions at Broadkill Beach discouraged most folks from fishing there on Monday. Tommy…

Sunday was a rare day in April with warm temperatures, light winds and no rain.  Lots of people fishing, and a few actually caught something. Patty at Captain Bones in Odessa told us about fourteen-year-old Matthew Santoro who caught a 7.58-pound snakehead on a chatterbait and an 8.4- pound blue catfish on a nightcrawler out…

Saturday’s weather was much better than I expected.  The sun was out, there was no rain and while the breeze was out of the east, there was enough south in it to provide for a nice spring day.  Unfortunately, the fish in the ocean and bay did not cooperate with the many anglers who tried…

Friday was cool and cloudy with periods of very light rain and strong east winds. The weekend weather is not looking good with rain and wind and seas to four feet. DNREC has selected April 14 as the day they will issue the 1,000 Surf-Fishing Vouchers. Six state parks have been selected as the sites…

I had planned to go fishing around Broadkill Beach or the Broadkill River on Thursday morning, but by the time I got my lazy butt in gear the wind was up, the tide was out and fishing prospects didn’t look good.  I finally got away around noon and drove to several fishing locations looking for…

The weather was just about perfect for fishing on Wednesday, but unfortunately, the water temperature in the bay and ocean remains on the cold side of 50 degrees so not much action in either of those bodies. I took a trip over to Laurel to fish at the new dam and spillway below Records Pond. …

Tuesday was a beautiful day, but still most Delaware boats remain on the hard or tied to the dock. The lone exception is the Top Fin with Captain Pete Haines who fished the Outer Wall from Lewes and brought some tog back to Angler’s Marina. Old Inlet reported that young Brooke Timmons caught what was…

Monday saw sunny skies and light winds, but most Delaware boats remain sitting high and dry. We are still waiting for the water temperature in the bay and ocean to get above 50 degrees before flounder and rockfish show much interest in taking a bait or lure. Dan’s Tackle reported a young man caught a…

Easter Sunday was a perfect day for attending church and showing off you spring finery, but it was still a bit too windy and cold for open-water fishing. I talked with Captain Pete on the Top Fin out of Angler’s Marina in Lewes and he is in the water and ready to go tog fishing. …

Saturday was another cold and windy day with plenty of bright sunshine.  Sunday looks to be a good day and the week ahead is also shaping up with decent weather.  The problem is the water temperature has dropped into the mid-forty-degree range and it will have to get past fifty degrees before the fishing improves.…

So, you woke up early this morning, looked outside and saw the bright sunshine, the flowers and trees in bloom and decided to go fishing. Then when you stepped out the door and that 20-knot 31-degree wind hit and let you know right where your skives stopped, you could hear Mother Nature say April Fools.…
