Sunday saw good fishing in the ocean and bay with even better weather expected for the early part of the week. At Smith Bait in Leipsic, Steve said trout have been caught at the lighthouses by drifting pieces of peeler crab in the rocks. At Dan’s Tackle, Dan told us the king, croaker and spot…

Fay went by pretty fast and didn’t hurt the fishing.  Saturday saw decent action in the ocean and bay and this should continue to improve as the marine forecast is good right through Tuesday. The Hatteras Anglers Club Invitational Surf Fishing Tournament held out of Buxton on Hatteras Island every November has been cancelled for…

I don’t believe anyone went fishing on Friday with tropical storm warnings, seven-foot seas and heavy downpours. I do have one correction to make.  On the cobia regulations, the bag limit is one per person, or three per boat if three or more anglers are on the boat.  In my original comment I may have…

Thursday wasn’t quite as bad as expected.  However, Friday and Saturday are going to be pretty bad with winds to 30 knots and seas on the ocean to seven feet.  Added to all of this they are calling for tropical downpours. At Lewes Harbour Marina Tommy said the Katydid had 32 flounder for her party…

Tuesday was a bit cooler than Monday, but the fish kept right on biting.  It looks like we may get some bad weather over the weekend, so what else is new. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Chauncey Parsons caught his first yellowfin tuna on Monday while fishing on the Wild Goose.  Captain Jackie on…

Monday was back to the good ole’ summertime.  The heat didn’t bother the fish and good catches were made in the bay and ocean. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid came in with 28 flounder from ocean structure.  The Wild Goose had a catch of yellowfin tuna. Dave at Lighthouse View Tackle on…

Sunday saw the end of the 4th of July weekend and a continuation of the good fishing weather.  It looks like the weather remains good for the first part of the week, but you should plan your trips early in the morning to avoid those late day thunderstorms. When I gave the bag limit for…

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and were able to celebrate with family and friends and even get out on the water to catch a few fish. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Ken Burg fished the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal with Gulp! to catch a 19 and a 21-inch flounder.  The…

Thursday was beautiful and the weekend looks great. The new Delaware cobia regulations are now in place.  The minimum size is 40 inches total length and the bag limit is three per boat per trip.  The season will run from June 1 to September 15. The summer striped bass season began on July 1 and…

Wednesday was a bit unsettled with thunderstorms about and not a lot of folks fishing. Beginning on Friday, July 3, there will be new rules at Delaware State Parks.  The number of vehicles allowed on Cape Henlopen, Delaware Seashore and Fenwick Island State Parks will be limited to 60% of parking capacity.  Once the 60%…

Tuesday was just another in a long string of great fishing days.  At Lewes Harbour Marina, Amanda said the Top Fin found seven sandbar sharks to 200 pounds for the Buchanan family on one trip and for the McGinnis family on another trip.  Kyle Kirsch caught a limit of four flounder to 5.24 pounds on…

Monday was warm, but not humid with a north breeze.  Fish were caught from the ocean, bay and beach.  The rest of the week looks to have decent weather and now is a good time to get out on the water. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Julie told us the Katydid had 30 flounder for her…

Saturday was a beautiful summer day and I did something I never do; I went to the beach on the weekend.  The line waiting to get into Cape Henlopen was back to the Ferry Terminal so we headed to Seashore State Park to find full parking lots until we got to Conquest Road.  My son,…

The excellent weather continued on Friday, but the fishing is beginning to slow down a bit.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina had the final total for the Joe Morris Memorial Canal Flounder Tournament held on June 5th.  The tournament and associated sales and donations came to a very impressive $14,000 that will be given to…

More good weather and more good fishing on Thursday even though a few showers showed up here and there. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said Logan Serpico told him his friend Anthony had a nice trout on a four-inch Gulp! out of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal on Wednesday.  On Thursday the head boats out…

Tuesday saw the wind go southwest and bring all those poor, starving flies out of the marsh to the beach and the open waters of the bay and ocean.  It looks like this weather will continue for several days so be prepared with lots of DEET when you venture outside. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Tom…

Monday dawned bright and warm so I decided to try some surf fishing at Three Rs Road.  Conditions could not have been better with a light southeast wind, clean water and two to three-foot seas.  I was on the beach around 7:30 and fished the last of the incoming into the first of the outgoing. …

Sunday was yet another good fishing day with light winds, three-foot seas and water temperatures approaching 70 degrees. We have two really big fish to report.  The first is a pending state record golden tilefish.  Dylan Barer was fishing on the Eire Mar when he caught the 52.8-pound golden.  It was checked in at Hook…
