Monday started off fairly decent, but then the weather went south with rain and wind, still a few boats ran for tog and sea bass. Captain Cary Evans on the Grizzly only had six tog for the day, but what they lacked in numbers they more than made up for in size.  Five of the…

The weather on Sunday was fishable and a few boats tried out the tog action. Lauren at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said the head boat Judy V had six keepers and Captain John Nedelka on the Karen Sure came back with five tog over the 16-inch minimum size.  The store on the state park…

Saturday saw small craft advisories on the bay and ocean so I don’t think many folks went fishing. I did get a report from the Morning Star out of Ocean City with Captain Monty Hawkins who said they had some tog, but no limits. The marine forecast looks good for Sunday and Monday so we…

While Thursday was a beautiful day, Friday was about as ugly as it gets.  Gale warnings and heavy rain kept everyone off the water and while the air was warm, it didn’t help. Lewes Harbour Marina will be open on an as needed basis during the winter.  Tommy will be there most days and if…

Thursday was a beautiful day to go fishing, so I did. I was invited by Scott Newell to go out tog fishing on the Karen Sue with Captain John Nedelka and mate Glen Myers.  This was not your usual tog trip.  This was part of a research project being conducted in New Jersey, Delaware and…

Wednesday saw beautiful weather, but both Lewes Harbour Marina and Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em did not answer the phone when I called. I called Captain John Nedelka on the Karen Sue and he said he had four anglers out on Wednesday and they caught several short tog plus four keepers. The Fish Bound with…

Tuesday, Christmas Day, saw all the tackle shops closed and I spent the day at home with my family so if anyone was fishing I wouldn’t know. The last week of the year could see some decent action on tog and sea bass.  The sea bass are a long way off shore, but boats from…

Monday, Christmas Eve, saw the tackle shops and marinas closing early, if they opened at all.  To the best of my knowledge nothing will be open on Tuesday, Christmas Day. Tommy, at Lewes Harbour Marina, said the Grizzly with Captain Cary Evans, had 11 tog on Sunday. Lauren at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said…

Sunday was a bit cold and windy and, to the best of my knowledge, no one was fishing.  With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on the horizon, I don’t think too many people will be on the water anytime soon. A lot has been written and said about global warming and if you do any…

Saturday saw cold and windy weather and, so far as I could tell, no one went fishing. If you are still looking for that last minute gift, better hurry because most tackle shops will be closing early, if they will even be open, on Christmas Eve. Some will stay closed during the week between Christmas…

The weather on Friday was not as bad as the forecast, but still had small craft advisories flying all day.  My guess is there will be little if any fishing from now until the end of the year as the weather and the holidays will work together to keep folks off the water. We did…

The sun was back out on Tuesday, but if anyone went fishing they kept it a secret.  Actually, there were a few hardy souls fishing the rocks at the inlet, but they didn’t have much luck. Yesterday we told you about the increase in the fee for the surf fishing permit issued by the Division…

The sun came out on Monday, but most fishermen stayed inside.  There were a few folks that fished the Indian River Inlet, but their efforts only yielded one or two short tog. The head boat Angler out of Ocean City will be running a deep drop sea bass trip on Wednesday.  They plan to depart…

Sunday saw no improvement in the weather over Saturday and Monday doesn’t look much better.  Right now it appears that Wednesday and Thursday may be fishable. The Fish Bound out of Ocean City keeps on bringing in boat limits of tog and releasing big females up to 16 pounds.  The Morning Star, a head boat…

Saturday was downright nasty with rain and wind although the temperature was mild for December.  If anyone went fishing, they love a fish much more than I. Tommy at Lewes Harbour Marina said the Striper Tournament now has a second place fish with Jimmy Young’s eight pounder on the board.  He caught his fish up…

Friday was not too bad weather-wise and several boats sailed for rockfish and tog.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to get reports on the day the fishing takes place because the shops tend to close before the boats return.  This is why we have reports from Thursday that we put in Friday’s report. Speaking of…

Thursday was a good weather day and several boats went out in the ocean for tog.  Unfortunately, we only have a report from one.  Hopefully, we will have the others in Friday’s report. Amanda said the Katydid had a good catch of tog including three citations weighing 12.65, 9.21 and 8.37 pounds. Earlier in the…
