At Lewes Harbour Marina the Katydid had a boat limit of flounder. The Surface Tension brought in a mixed bag of flounder and sea bass as did the Grizzly. The Jay Sea II also had flounder and sea bass.

At Hook ā€˜em and Cook ā€˜em they said fishing was much better on Saturday then it was on Friday. Sea bass, flounder and dolphin were brought in by several boats. The Bill Slayer had a box loaded with dolphin and tilefish for Rob and his friends.

Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said trout were caught early in the morning out of Indian River Inlet. A few sheepshead were taken throughout the day on sand fleas fished tight to the rocks. Lots of tiny tog with a few keepers, also on sand fleas.

The Captains Lady out of Bowers Beach had a good day with flounder, trout, blues and croaker. George Kemfort won the pool with a 3.24-pound flounder.
