Saturday arrived with lots of wind and rain as promised.  Small craft advisories are up for Sunday morning, but Monday does look fishable. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said no one went out of there on Saturday which is no great surprise.  He did have a few reports from Friday when Kyle Falgowski caught a…

The wind dropped out on Friday, but is going to pick back up on Saturday and Sunday.  In addition, we are expecting lots of rain as what’s left of Laura goes by. We had a very sad incident at Indian River Inlet on Thursday afternoon.  A fisherman got his line caught in the prop of…

Thursday was a bit rough on the ocean as the southwest wind had the water churned up.  The weekend is not looking good with increasing south winds, lots of rain and high seas in the marine forecast. At Lewes Harbour Marina Tommy said the Angler was able to fish in Delaware Bay and came back…

Wednesday was a very pleasant day on land, but the northwest wind made for a less than pleasant experience at sea.  The next few days are questionable as we begin to feel the effects of the hurricane. I went down to Indian River Inlet Tuesday evening around 7:15 to take some photos.  When I arrived,…

Tuesday was another good weather day and the boats that fished the ocean and bay did well.  The rest of the week looks a bit iffy.  The storm that is churning in the Gulf of Mexico could be here by late in the week or not.  Thunderstorms are also in the forecast. Tommy at Lewes…

Monday saw decent fishing weather and boats that fished the ocean had good catches of flounder, dolphin and sea bass. At the Mid-Atlantic Tournament, it was a blue marlin bonanza. The Shark Byte had a 741-pound blue marlin disqualified because of a shark bite. Then on the last day of the tournament an 815-pound blue…

Sunday was a good fishing day and good fish were caught.  The rest of the week looks like two to three-foot seas and west winds.  Take lots of DEET. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said on Saturday the Strike Zone had tuna and sea bass.  The Chasin’ Tail had a good catch of sea bass…

My hope for good weather on Thursday was not realized as Ric and I faced a stiff northeast wind and three to four-foot seas upon clearing Rudee Inlet.  We tried to troll for Spanish and king mackerel to no avail and after four hours we gave up.  I was the worst beating I have had…

Still plan to be in Virginia Beach on Friday and looking for continued good weather. The flounder fishing this summer has been very good for those who work at catching these fish. While it is possible to go out, bait up, put you rod in a holder and drag the rig in front of a…

I certainly hope the weather is good on Thursday because I plan to be fishing in Virginia Beach with my son Ric.  We try to get together at least once a year, usually before he has to begin teaching his High School English class. The fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park has provided steady…

Wednesday saw a torrential downpour in Lewes around 9:00 AM that would have discouraged even the most dedicated fisherman from going fourth.  There were still plenty of rain showers around during the remainder of the morning so I don’t think too many people went fishing.  Delaware is beginning to remind me of Florida.  If it…

Tuesday saw the wind drop out, but the seas were pretty steep.  A few boats did run out to the ocean while others stayed in Delaware Bay. The Morning Star out of Ocean City was one boat that tried the ocean and reported seas of eight feet.  He also reported good sea bass fishing with…

Monday saw small craft advisories up until 6:00 PM and the only boat that I had a report from was the Katydid. Captain Brent and mate Chris ran a half-day trip catching some trout, sea bass and triggerfish. The rest of the week looks good with light winds and seas of two feet or less.…

Sunday was not a day to go fishing.  If you did, God bless.  Monday does not look much better in the morning, but is supposed to lay out during the afternoon.  The rest of the week looks good so we should be able to get back to fishing by Tuesday or Wednesday. Maryland has closed…

With two tropical storms dancing around in the ocean off our coast, you can expect small craft warnings up for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  To the best of my knowledge, no boats ventured out on Saturday and I doubt any will sally forth on Sunday on Monday.  Monday is the first day of the Mid-Atlantic…

Friday saw the wind go northeast and that’s where it will stay through Sunday.  There are small craft advisories up for Saturday and I suspect we will see them remain through Sunday.  Good couple of days to get those honey-dos done around the house. I had a suspicion that things were rough in the ocean…

Thursday was a bit damp around Lewes, but boats ran to the ocean and bay to catch fish between the rain drops. DNREC sank the menhaden fishing boat Reedville at Reef Site 11 on Thursday.  This ship began life as a World War II and Korea War Era coastal freighter and supply ship before being…

Wednesday saw some pretty impressive thunderstorms around in the afternoon, but boats caught fish in the ocean and bay.  Right now, Saturday and Sunday look a tad rough with northeast winds and seas to five or six feet. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was Dave and John fished on the Shock Therapy at A…

Tuesday was a bit cooler with some downpours around Lewes in the early afternoon.  The rest of the week is still looking good with light winds and small seas. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Robbie told us that Captain Brent on the Katydid has been showing off again.  This time he caught an 8.12-pound flounder during…

Monday saw light winds and calm seas and that’s the forecast for the rest of the week. A final report from the White Marlin Open shows the Canyon Blues in First Place with a 97-pound white marlin worth $1,850,000.  In Second Place was the Drillin’ and Billin’ with their 77-pound white worth $1,760,000. The Cristobel…

Sunday saw more good fishing weather and the effects of the storm seem to have dissipated. The White Marlin Open saw a big change at the top of the leaderboard on Saturday.  The Canyon Blues out of Ocean City came in with a 97-pound white marlin to take over first place and move Drillin’ and…

Saturday was another beautiful day with fish caught in the ocean and bay.  The weather looks good right into next week. The White Marlin Open has gotten interesting.  There are currently ties for first, second and third, but Drillin’ and Billin’ is way ahead in the money with $2,900,000.  The Bill Slayer out of Indian…
