Sunday saw warmer temperatures, but the winds were strong enough to have small craft advisories up in the ocean and bay.  The long-range forecast promises warmer weather by the end of the week and boy do we need it. Steve at Smith Bait in Leipsic said he and some friends went black drum fishing at…

Saturday saw gale warnings up for the ocean and bays that will extend into Sunday morning then small craft advisories will be up at least until Monday afternoon.  It looks like if we can get through the next few days more seasonal weather will arrive by the end of next week. The current cold snap…

Friday saw gale warnings up for the ocean and small craft warnings up for the bays.  This will continue through Saturday and it looks like Sunday won’t be much better.  Add to the wind, temperatures that will drop into the 30s at night and I believe we will see water temperatures fall back into the…

The weather improved on Thursday, but is going right back in the dumpster for the weekend.  Gale warnings are already up for Friday, and Saturday is not looking good. An article in the Cape Gazette reported that there were too many people doing too many bad things on the state beaches over the weekend.  The…

Nasty is the best word to describe the weather on Wednesday.  The wind was off the water, the temperature was in the low 50s and it was raining most of the day.  If anyone was fishing, they deserve anything they caught, including a very bad cold. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Chaz Wemlimger and…

Summer disappeared on Tuesday, and it looks like it will be quite a while before it returns.  Winds were light and the temperature was in the 60s, so fishing was possible.  Wednesday isn’t looking real good with northeast winds to 20 and gusts to 25 knots.  NOAA weather thinks seas on the ocean will only…

Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said two charter captains took their families out tog fishing on Sunday.  Captain Carey Evans on the Grizzly and Captain Pete Haines on the…

Sunday wasn’t quite as bad as the forecast would have us believe.  Monday looks to be windy and the remainder of the week appears to be below average temperature wise. Steve at Smith Bait in Leipsic said slot-sized rockfish continue to come in from boats at Collins Beach.  Bunker has been the bait of choice. …

With small craft advisories up and storms about I don’t think too many folks went fishing on Friday.  If they did, they kept it a secret from my reporting stations.  Saturday and Sunday look a bit better.  The seas in the ocean won’t settle down until Saturday afternoon, but the bays should be fishable. Friday…

With gale warnings up on the Delaware and Chesapeake bays and the Atlantic Ocean I didn’t bother to call anyone for a fishing report.  The wind is supposed to drop out on Friday, but seas in the ocean will remain at eight feet.  Sunday looks like the next fishable day. Governor Carney has issued a…

Small craft advisories were up on Wednesday and a gale warning will be up for Thursday when seas are forecast between seven and nine feet. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said he had customers fishing the surf and the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, but had not seen a fish when I called in the late…

Considering what the weather will be like the rest of the week, Tuesday was a beautiful spring day.  The conditions start downhill on Wednesday with wind gusts to 25 knots and three to four-foot seas then really hit their stride on Thursday with 20 to 25-knot winds, gusts to 30 knots and seven to ten-foot…

Monday began with rain and wind with small craft advisories up all day.  Tuesday looks like it may be fishable and I hope to try somewhere for something because after that, it’s all downhill.  I look for gale, if not storm warnings, later in the week. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said Dwayne Currie was…

Sunday was cool with rain and wind.  Small craft advisories were up and will remain up on Monday. I had a call from my friend Bob Baker who told me he had good reports from Wachapreague, Virginia where the flounder action has started.  This is the time of year when the big fish move into…

Friday saw a pretty steady rain in the morning with small craft advisories up all day.  Saturday may turn out to be fishable with northeast winds of 10 knots and seas running to five feet. Amanda, at Lewes Harbour Marina, is planning to hold the Joe Morris Memorial Flounder Tournament on May 29.  This contest…

Thursday was damp and chilly, but the wind stayed down and allowed for some folks to get out fishing.  As for the weekend, fuhgeddaboudit. I decided to drive down to the Inlet on Thursday morning just to see if anything was going on.  I arrived as the incoming current was slowing and saw several folks…

Wednesday began with temperatures close to or below freezing, then the wind picked up and the small craft advisories came out.  It looks like a short window of fishable weather on Thursday morning, but after that, it’s back in the washing machine. I have a correction to Tuesday’s report.  Maryland will allow charter and head…

Tuesday saw gale warnings followed by a severe thunderstorm watch and the rest of the week does not look much better.  I know it’s only April, but the mild winter had me spoiled and I had hopes for an early spring.  Instead, we are getting wind, rain and below average temperatures. Some bad news for…
