Friday was another good fishing day and a lot of boats were fishing in the Flounder Pounder Tournament out of Paradise Grill on Long Neck. Frank Tucker, Zandar and Levi fished ocean structure to catch 12 flounder to 21 inches and 6 black sea bass. At Lewes Harbour Marina we learned that Vee Sisounthone paddled…

Thursday was a beautiful day on the ocean until around noon when a strong breeze came up and made the water a bit dusty I had planned to fish Delaware Bay, but the gentleman who was going with me fell ill, so I changed my plans and went surf fishing. There was hardly a breath…

Wednesday, we had small craft advisories up and to the best of my knowledge no boats left Lewes or Indian River Marina. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said a few folks tried to fish the beach, but they had no reports of any fish caught. I did get a good report from my friend Dan…

Tuesday saw small craft advisories and Eric with a broke computer. I did get a few reports. One from Fenwick Tackle where young Conner and his dad picked up some bait and tackle and headed for the surf on Sunday. They ended the adventure with a mixed bag on spot and kings topped by Conner’s…

Monday saw increasing east winds and building seas making for a rough day on the ocean. At Bowers Beach, the Captain’s Lady put blues, croaker, spot and trout in her customer’s coolers. Delaware Bay is beginning to preform like days of old. My friend and fellow surf fisherman, Acie Mankins fished on the Double Trouble…

Sunday saw good fishing on the ocean and bay. At Bowers Beach, the Captain’s Lady had a good week catching flounder, croaker, spot and trout.

Friday saw northeast winds and not many boats went out. At Lewes Harbour Marina the only boat that sailed was the Angler and she had an excellent catch of spot and croaker over bay structure. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em told us a few private boats gave it a try, but they had no reports…

Thursday was cloudy in the morning, then sunny in the afternoon. At Lewes Harbour Marina they said the Katydid had flounder and ling. Ling in August just proves how cold the ocean water is on the bottom. The Angler had the usual croaker and spot from bay structure. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em, the…

Wednesday was hot and sticky. Not many people seem to be fishing right now. I know several charter boats are in the White Marlin Open, but private boats are not going out very often either. I suspect it is because of the heat and the price of fuel. Speaking of the White Marlin Open, right…

Tuesday was hot and windy. Lewes Harbour Marina said the only boat that sailed was the Angler had she had croaker and triggerfish over bay structure. The White Marlin Open is ongoing in Ocean City, but only 15 boats fished on Tuesday. After Monday, no billfish were recorded, but the MJ’s had the first and…

Sunday was a bit windy and not many boats went fishing. Nick Garcia and his grandpop fished Delaware Bay on Saturday and even with the wind against the tide, they did pretty well. They were just two fish short of a flounder boat limit with six to 23 inches plus two blues. Captain Aaron Herd…

Saturday saw good fishing for inshore and offshore. The Savannah Lynn ran an 8-hour trolling trip on Friday catching limits of bluefish and Spanish mackerel. Half-day shark trips have seen lots of big critters to 200 pounds. Bottom-fishing trips have produced sea bass and flounder. On Saturday Deanna at Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said…

Friday was good in the morning with rain in the afternoon. If you have ever wanted to catch a tuna now is the time to go. You can book a charter to work the inshore lumps for what, in today’s market, is a reasonable amount of money and stand a good chance of catch a…

Thursday was a hot day to go fishing. The Bill Slayer had the Mills, Frye, Coulbourne party out on Wednesday and they managed to go 4 for 6 on yellowfin tuna and 4 for 4 on longfin albacore tuna trolling Sterling Tackle wide track spreader bars with Handbarrow Custom Bait skirted ballyhoo. Hook ‘em and…

Wednesday was an absolutely beautiful fishing day. I had a plan. I would go to Fenwick Island. Catch a spot and use it as bait for a cobia. Man plans, God laughs. I never caught a single spot, but I may have hooked a cobia on my spot rig. Whatever it was, it dumped half…

Tuesday saw decent weather and good fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Port-A-Bella fished the Big Fish Classic out of Ocean City and their 218-pound bigeye placed Fifth in that category. They also had two yellowfin, one bluefin and one longfin tuna. They released a white marlin and jumped off a blue. Lorne Seifert and…

Monday was another good fishing day.

Wednesday saw some light showers between bright sunshine. It was bound to happen. Fenwick Tackle reported that Tyler Adams caught a 41-inch cobia out of the surf in Ocean City on a chunk of kingfish. I would think bunker, spot or mullet would also attract a cobia. You might want to keep a light rod…

Lewes Harbour Marina said the Surface Tension with Captain Chris had 14 flounder with Mate Aaron Brommer landing a Delaware Citation 7.34 pounder all over ocean structure.
