Small craft advisories or gale warnings are up for the rest of the week. When we do get back out on the water, tog will be the only game in town unless we get lucky and the big striped bass move close enough for us to have a shot. Right now, I am getting photos…

On Tuesday, as promised, I attended the joint meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in Annapolis, Maryland. The meeting was to set the 2023 recreational fishing regulations for summer flounder, scup and black sea bass. First the good news. Summer flounder and scup will remain status quo…

Monday was anything but blue. The clouds were low and so was the temperature, while the wind and waves were high. Small craft advisories were up on the ocean and to the best of my knowledge, no boats left their dock or trailer. On Tuesday, December 13, I will be in Annapolis, Maryland at a…

Small craft advisories were up on Saturday and will be up on Sunday. The smallest seas on the ocean are five feet well into next week. It may be possible to tog fish in the bay at some point, but that does not excite a lot of anglers. While no boats went out, I am…

Right now, small craft advisories are up through Sunday and from the Marine Forecast I still don’t see an end in sight. I missed the folks at Old Inlet Bait and Tackle. I think they are closing early in the winter. I will call earlier on Saturday. Lewes Harbour Marina said no boats sailed on…

Small craft advisories were up on Thursday and it looks like they will be up well in to the foreseeable future. The good folks that want to restrict the menhaden fleet in Virginia’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay suffered another defeat on Wednesday. The governor proposed a plan that would have kept the menhaden purse…

I was out of town all day Wednesday so if anyone went fishing, I will have that report on Friday. I do know it was wet, dark and dreary where I was so I expect fishing activity was somewhat slow. Getting back to fishing for tog, which is all we will have left once we…

Sunday saw nice weather on land, but a small craft advisory on the ocean kept boats tied to the dock or sitting on their trailers. Monday looks good and I hope to be out on the ocean aboard the Angler out of Ocean City, Maryland. My main target on this trip will be black sea…

Saturday was about as miserable as you could get unless you enjoy high winds and driving rain. The only good thing was it didn’t snow. Looks like Monday before the boats can run again. I do have a couple of reports from Friday. The Skipjack II with Captain Beau brought in a sea bass limit…

Friday saw reasonable weather for early December, but as is so true for this time of year, very few people went fishing. Saturday will see small craft advisories up again. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was all tog. The only charter boat we heard about was the Katydid and they had tog as did…

Thursday saw small craft advisories and a cold northwest wind. To the best of my knowledge, no boats left their dock or trailer. There may have been a few hard-core tog fishermen at the Inlet, if so, God bless them. I did get an interesting report from Old Inlet Bait and Tackle. One of their…

Wednesday was a beautiful day with bright sunshine, clear blue skies and a warm, gentle breeze that barely stirred the water, somewhere, but not in Delaware. Here we had a gale warning and a driving rain. I just got finished with a meeting of the Advisory Council on Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass…

With small craft advisories up on Monday no boats left their docks or trailers. A gale warning is up for Wednesday leaving Tuesday as the only day to fish this week. I hope to drown some green crabs at the Inlet today. I do have a few reports from the holiday weekend. The Sea Jay…
