If anyone went fishing on Sunday, I hope they survived. With gale warnings up and the rain coming down in buckets even the diehard tog fishermen at Indian River Inlet would be crazy to go out. Just a few reminders as we get towards the end of the year. The Delaware Surf Fishing Permits will…

Saturday was a beautiful day on land, but just a tad rough on the ocean. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was a private boat did make it out to bay structure and brought back some tog. No charter or head boats left the dock. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em, Burt told us the…

Friday had small craft advisories that will grow into gale warnings for Saturday. I only had one report, and that was from Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. A private boat brought in one slot rockfish that they caught off of Cape May. They said that was the only fish that they caught that was small…

Wednesday was a beautiful day and fish were caught. Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had a slow day on the tog returning with only seven fish. At Hook em’ and Cook ‘em, the reports were much better. Burt said the Captain Bob had an excellent trip catching sea bass, porgies and blues. Private and…

The weather was very good on Tuesday and both charter boats that ran from Lewes did well. The weather looks good right through Thanksgiving so let’s get out there and catch some fish. At Lewes Harbour Marina, Bill told us the Katydid had 22 tog on Tuesday. The Grizzly ran for sea bass and brought…

In spite of small craft advisories on Monday, a couple of boats got out and both caught fish. Plus, we have some real good news from Indian River Inlet. At Lewes Harbour Marina they reported the Katydid went out on Monday and came back with a catch of tog. On Saturday, the Grizzly had a…

With gale warnings up on Sunday, no boats left their dock or trailer. Those who fished the inlet for tog deserved every one they caught. I don’t know what the wind chill was, but from the time I spent outside I know I wouldn’t even consider fishing in those cold and windy conditions. The week…

Saturday saw better weather than the forecast called for. Gale warnings are still up for Sunday. At Lewes Harbour Marina the report was the Katydid fished bay structure and came back with a boat limit of tog. On Friday the Sea Jay II had a good catch of tog. They were out again on Saturday,…

Thursday saw small craft advisories up and no boats fished the ocean or bay. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle told us the same old story. Lots of small tog at the Inlet with the occasional keeper. The same sand fleas and green crab baits that have been effective for the past two months or more…

Tuesday was more like the November fishing days we are used to. Boats that ran from Lewes and Indian River found tog and sea bass as you would expect at this time of year. Lewes Harbour Marina told us the Katydid came in from ocean structure with a catch of sea bass and tog. The…

Monday was not exactly fit for fishing and no boats left Lewes or Indian River Marina. I do believe a few boats are planning to fish on Tuesday. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said tog are still available at Indian River Inlet on sand fleas and green crab. The usual, catch a lot to keep…

Sunday saw northwest winds of 25 to 30 knots and dropping air temperatures. No boats went out because of small craft advisories and Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said very few people fished the beach or inlet due to the cold and windy conditions. On Wednesday, November 30, I will attend the Advisory Council on…

With small craft advisories and gale warnings with winds to 40 knots and seas to 10 feet, if anyone went fishing on Friday, I hope they survived. It looks like Tuesday before we get a break in the weather conditions. Then it will be right back in the washing machine towards the end of the…

Thursday saw the beginning of a stormy period that will last into next week. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em did say they cleaned one tog from Indian River Inlet. I must admit I get a kick out of people who try to cut down on the number of menhaden the Omega Company takes out of…

Small craft advisories flew on Wednesday and Thursday ain’t lookin’ to good. No boats sailed and the surf was too rough to fish. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said they didn’t hear of anything caught out of Indian River Inlet. Delaware State Parks is looking at a proposal to build a restaurant at Cape Henlopen…

Small craft advisories flew on Tuesday and no boats left the dock. I had a late report from Captain Cary Evans on the Grizzly. He had a boat limit of tog on Monday and 15 tog with 25 sea bass, including 4 citations, on Sunday. The new pilot program for Surf Fishing Permits has caused…

Monday was a nice day with record warm temperatures and good fishing for those who were able to get away. The rest of the week will be a bit bumpy with northeast winds to 30 knots and seas to 7 feet. Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had sea bass and tog on Monday. Several…

Saturday the south to southeast wind was just a tad stronger than our good friends at the National Weather Service promised. As a result, some boats went out and came right back in while others toughed it out and managed to catch some sea bass and tog. Lewes Harbour Marina said the Katydid had sea…

Friday was a great day to be fishing in the ocean or over structure in Delaware Bay. I have been telling you to get out on the water while we have this wonderful weather window. Well, you have until Monday. Tuesday the wind goes northeast at 20 knots and the seas build to 7 feet.…

Thursday saw a pretty good heave on the ocean and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats ventured out there. Captain Cary Evans did take the Grizzly out to bay structure and his party caught over 80 tog. Unfortunately, only a few of those 80 were large enough to keep. Clark at Old Inlet…
