Gale warnings were up on Friday and will be up again on Saturday.  Looks like a good weekend to get things done around the house so you can be free to fish when the fish finally show up. Lenny Rudow’s Fish Talk Report said white and yellow perch have been caught from the tidal creeks…

While I can’t be absolutely certain that no one went fishing on Thursday, I can be certain that if they did they love a fish a whole lot more than I do.  Rain, wind and cold make for a nasty day and that’s exactly what we had on Thursday.  Friday and Saturday look to be…

So Wednesday was the first day of Spring, still the weather remained chilly and the wind increased all day.  Thursday will see a storm pass by with high southeast winds and lots of rain before things clean out for the weekend. Once again the only fishing report I received came from Cape Point on Hatteras…

Tuesday saw lots of sunshine with a slight breeze, but I didn’t receive fishing reports from any boats out of Delaware or Ocean City.  Perhaps I will get a late report on Wednesday. I stopped in at Rick’s Bait and Tackle to pick up some leader material and found out they will be open every…

Monday was chilly with a brisk wind that made it feel even colder.  It looks like the next few day will be fishable so perhaps we will begin to get more successful reports. The Morning Star out of Ocean City ran on Sunday and the patrons caught tog to 22 inches.  The bite was a…

Sunday saw decent weather and while the ocean and bay remain a bit cold, the tidal creeks and rivers are showing signs of life. Ice House Bait and Tackle reported that five-pound catfish were caught from Oyster Rocks on cut bunker.  Bowers Beach saw some white perch on bloodworms as did some locations along the…

Saturday was colder and there was a strong north wind bringing out small craft advisories for the bay and ocean.  I did see a couple of bass fishermen on a local pond, but don’t know if they had any luck. Clark Evans at Old Inlet Bait and Tackle reported a short rockfish caught by Claude…

Friday was still warm, but windy with rain and small craft advisories on the bay and ocean. I told you the giant bluefin tuna action was good out of Oregon Inlet, North Carolina and it is, however the National Marine Fisheries Service just closed the recreational season.  This means you can still play catch and…

Thursday was a beautiful day and since I know it’s not going to last, I went fishing.  I waited until the tide was high at the head of the Broadkill River in Milton before heading over to drown some earthworms.  I joined seven other hopeful anglers, all but one had gray hair, for over an…

Wednesday was another nice day and it looks like Thursday will be even better. Ice House Bait and Tackle sent me a report late on Tuesday that the Bobby Smith family fished the Broadkill River with bloodworms and caught some short rockfish and one keeper. I am getting good reports from Pirate’s Cove and the…

Tuesday had nice warm sunshine, but man when that wind hit, you tell where your skivvies stopped. We did get one report from Monday.  Ice House Bait and Tackle said Alex and Jack fished Oyster Rocks with cut bunker and caught catfish.  Other anglers worked Pole Bridge and Petersfield Ditch with bloodworms catching white perch. …

Monday was a very nice day for early March, but I could not find anyone who had been fishing.  I did, however, accomplish a personal goal.  My 1996 40hp two-stroke Mercury outboard started with very little trouble.  I had decided to get an early start in case it had to go to the outboard doctor,…

Sunday was wet and warmer and, as I hoped, I did receive some reports from Saturday. I spoke with Clark from Old Inlet Bait and Tackle and he said the only reports he has had all winter are scattered white and yellow perch out of the tidal creeks and rivers.  As if to verify this…

The weather on Saturday was as good as you could hope for in early March, but I could not find a single fishing report on line.  Perhaps there will be some on Sunday. It is not too soon to start getting your boat ready for the fishing season.  Mine has been sitting since early fall…

Friday’s weather was still a long way from Spring, but it was warmer than Thursday and the wind did lay down.  I am certain some folks tried tog fishing, but I had no reports by the time I wrote this, however I hope to have something by Saturday.  The marine weather looks good for Saturday…

Thursday was still cold and windy and I didn’t receive any fishing reports. The marine weather looks good for Friday and Saturday and I suspect there will be boats running for tog both days.  Speaking of Saturday, if you have any interest in fly fishing, the Delaware Saltwater Fly Fishing Club meets every Saturday morning…

Wednesday was very cold and windy with small craft advisories up for the bay and ocean.  However, two young men who have a burning desire to catch fish did just that.  They hit a few local ponds and managed to land a few bass.  They were fishing from shore and I suspect kept going back…

Tuesday saw winter make its last grasp and the Wednesday weather report will not be much better.  I don’t think anyone went fishing in the 30-degree weather and I don’t expect much to happen on Wednesday as the winds increase to gale force.  The good news is temperatures will begin to moderate over the weekend…

With small craft advisories up for Monday, I don’t think anyone went fishing on the ocean.  I was pretty cold and windy on land so I didn’t get any reports for the local ponds, tidal creeks or rivers. I did get two reports from Sunday.  Chris Huk and Mike Lewes went tog fishing, catching a…

Sunday saw some fair weather in the morning with heavy rain later in the day and snow in the northern portion of our coverage area.  My efforts to find any reports of fishing on Sunday were met with unanswered phone calls and zero reports on the internet. I did see reports from Saturday of freshwater…

Saturday was the opening day of Delaware trout season and I planned to fish Tidbury Pond in Dover.  My alarm went off at 5:00 AM, I stumbled into the bathroom, looked out the window and saw that it was dark, cold and raining.  Decided I really didn’t love a trout that much, reset the alarm…

If there was ever a day not to go fishing, Friday was it.  Rain, sleet and snow with temperatures in the upper 30s just don’t lend themselves to spending time outdoors.  The only exception would be snow goose hunting, but they seem to land only where they know no one is waiting with a shotgun.…

Saturday will be the opening day for Delaware’s freshwater trout season.  Two ponds have been stocked with trout.  Newton Pond near Greenwood in Sussex County and Tidbury Pond near Dover in Kent County.  Competition for a fishing spot is pretty intense at both locations on opening day, so an early arrival before the 7:00 AM…
