Friday was a bit cloudy and cool, but compared to what we have been promised for the next few days, it was a gift.  Seas are forecasted to be between nine and twelve feet on Saturday and Sunday.  I believe it is safe to say no boats will be sailing until sometime next week. Boats…

Thursday saw fishable weather and Friday looks good as well.  The weekend and the first of next week will be horrible. Tommy told us the Katydid with Captain Brent and the Surface Tension with Captain Keith had boat limits of black sea bass.  The Grizzly went tog fishing and Captain Cary was able to put…

The weather wasn’t too bad on Wednesday and it looks good for Thursday and Friday, but from Saturday on through Monday it is going to be very bad so far as fishing is concerned. I didn’t get a report from Lewes Harbour Marina because no one answered the phone and Lauren at Hook ‘em and…

As nice as Monday was that’s how nasty Tuesday became.  Gale warnings and rain that changed to snow should have kept anyone with half a brain inside and far away from the water.  I do have the results of the Cape Hatteras Angler’s Club 62nd Annual Surf Fishing Tournament.  This is the largest surf fishing…

Monday was as nice a day as you will ever see in November.  It was also a holiday for many people who were off work to celebrate Veterans Day.  In spite of this, not a whole lot of folks went fishing. I did see a nice catch of white perch on the cleaning table at…

Sunday was a tad breezy, but some boats did make it out to the ocean and the Outer Wall.  Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina told us the current leaders in the Tog Tournament are Chip Graves in First Place with an 8.46 pounder.  In Second Place is Charlie Breidenbach with his 6.54-pound tog and in…

Saturday was downright cold, but the wind stayed down and folks went fishing.  Sunday looks fishable at least for the larger boats as does Monday. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had 16 tog and a sheepshead for his party.  The Portabella come back from ocean structure with a boat limit of 75…

Friday saw the air temperature drop and the northwest wind increase making for some very uncomfortable fishing conditions.  Saturday looks good with less wind and smaller seas. Tog action continues to improve as the water temperature drops.  Robbie Baxley fished the rocks at the Outer Wall with green and box crabs purchased at Lewes Harbour…

The weather wasn’t perfect on Thursday, but it was a whole lot better than it’s going to be on Friday.  Small craft advisories are already up for northwest winds gusting to 40 knots and seas running to seven feet.  The winds are supposed to settle back down on Saturday with seas running less than two…

Wednesday was a beautiful fall day, but very few boats went fishing.  Things look to go downhill over Thursday and Friday as colder weather moves into our area. Tom at Lewes Harbour Marina said Rick Rumble caught a 28-inch rockfish on a live eel out of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. Captain Cary Evans called…

Tuesday saw decent weather and a few boats did manage to get out tog fishing. Tom at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had 17 keepers and the Top Fin had 15 tog in the box.  Both captains reported catching numerous short tog. At Old Inlet Bait and Tackle it was the same story.  Lots…

Monday saw clear skies and light winds with good fishing for sea bass and tog. Captain Pete Haines on the Top Fin had a photo on Facebook of a double header of tog he caught.  He said fishing was good, but they still had more shorts than keepers. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina posted a…

Sunday was a bit on the breezy side, but Monday and Tuesday look good. When I stopped by Lewes Harbour Marina none of the charter or head boats were out.  Captain Pete Haines was getting the Top Fin ready for a Monday tog charter, but that was the only activity on the dock.  I did…

Saturday was chilly, but the wind dropped out and both head, charter and private boats were able to sail.  Sunday looks a bit breezy, but Monday and Tuesday look fine. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid came in with a nice catch of tog.  A few private boats had limits of sea bass…

Summer ended on Friday.  The temperature dropped 40 degrees and the wind howled out of the northwest raising small craft advisories on the bay and ocean.  To the best of my knowledge, no boats sailed from any Delaware port.  The weekend and early week weather look pretty good.  Some northwest wind on Sunday with light…

Thursday was more trick than treat for fishermen as gale warnings were up for the ocean and small craft advisories were up for the bay.  On Wednesday the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission voted on the proposals to reduce the mortality on striped bass by 18% for recreational and commercial fishermen.  Recreational fishermen will have…

Wednesday saw good fishing weather with light winds and moderate temperatures.  Thursday will see gale warnings that could stay around until Friday.  Right now, it looks like Saturday will be fishable. We had a report from Captain Monty Hawkins on the Morning Star out of Ocean City that he was able to limit out the…

Tuesday saw good fishing weather and Wednesday looks good as well.  Things begin to go downhill on Thursday. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a boat limit of sea bass to Richard Thompson’s 3.6-pound citation winner.  Steve Kuhlman had a very nice 2.5 pounder as well.  Sergio Galvan and Fred Sicker fished…

Monday was another windy day on the ocean and bay, but only the ocean saw small craft advisories.  Tuesday will see cloudy, but better weather with less wind, so perhaps a few boats will be able to reach the sea bass grounds. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is meeting this week and on Monday…

Sunday saw small craft advisories up as promised and with northeast winds 10 to 15 knots and gusts to 20 they may be back up again on Monday. On Saturday Frank Tucker fished the Outer Wall catching three keeper tog out of 27 caught.  Morgan and Jay Way worked the Del-Jersey-Land Reef on Saturday aboard…

Friday was another good fishing day and it looks like Saturday will be as well.  Small craft advisories are already up for Sunday. Captain Cary Evans called to report another boat limit of sea bass on the Grizzly, plus four flounder one of which weighed 7.75 pounds.  Why he couldn’t find those flounder on Thursday…
