WGMD Fishing Report 4-10-21
Saturday’s weather was much better than I expected. The sun was out, there was no rain and while the breeze was out of the east, there was enough south in it to provide for a nice spring day. Unfortunately, the fish in the ocean and bay did not cooperate with the many anglers who tried their luck.
Early last week I did get an exciting report from Fish OC’s Scott Lenox. The crew of the Seek and Destroy found a slug of warm water in the Norfolk Canyon and decided to run down there and try for a tuna. They didn’t find a tuna, but as they were pulling in their lines for the trip home a mako jumped on one of the lures and ten-year-old Parker Williams fought the big fish to the boat. It turned out to be a 74-inch male mako and is now the first mako of the season in Ocean City. According to Scott this is by far the earliest a mako has ever been caught out of Ocean City. Late May or early June are more common times for makos in Maryland and Delaware.
