User 284190339 · 05 – 31 – 24 Fishing Report We had a hard northwest wind on Thursday and that didn’t help the ocean fishing. Lewes Harbour Marina didn’t have any boats out during the day although the Katydid was out in Delaware Bay on a drum trip when I called. Hook ‘em and Cook…

User 284190339 · 05 – 30 – 24 Fishing Report For whatever reason fishing was slow pretty much everywhere on Wednesday. Those who put in the time and worked at fishing found some success. At Lewes Harbour Marina Julie told me the only boat that sailed was the Katydid and she only brought back 33…

User 284190339 · 05 – 27 – 24 Fishing Report Old Inlet Bait and Tackle said the crowds on the beaches were so thick that a fish would have a hard time threading its way through the lines. A few blues were caught on mullet rigs, but it was just too crowded. The boat traffic…

User 284190339 · 05 – 25 – 24 Fishing Report There were thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday so I cancelled my surf fishing plans and worked at home. Those of you who had all that good fishing on Friday owe me a debt of gratitude. Lewes Harbour Marina reported on Facebook the first Delaware…

User 284190339 · 05 – 24 – 24 Fishing Report While black sea bass season is open and there are lots of them on near-shore structure, the fact that those fish are under the 13-inch size limit has kept most boats looking for other targets. Lewes Harbour Marina reported the Katydid is fishing for black…

User 284190339 · 05 – 23 – 24 Fishing Report As good as surf fishing was on Tuesday, that’s how bad it was on Wednesday. The reason? That’s easy. I was on 3Rs Road. I picked up some mullet and a couple of mullet rigs at Old Inlet and drove up on 3Rs Road. I…

User 284190339 · 05 – 21 – 24 Fishing Report I was supposed to fish on the Angler out of Ocean City on Monday. We left the dock right on time at 6:00 a.m. and after an hour or so of beating into a northeast wind driven sea the captain decided to call it a…

User 284190339 · 05 – 20 – 24 Fishing Report Sunday was very nice on land, but for some reason no boats from Lewes or from Indian River ventured to the sea bass grounds. Lewes Harbour Marina reported that the Katydid was up in Delaware Bay on a black drum trip and would not return…

User 284190339 · 05 – 17 – 24 Fishing Report We had small craft warnings on Thursday and they are up for Friday as well. While this has killed black sea bass fishing blues and striped bass fishing is still holding up. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle reported that there was a decent run of…

User 284190339 · 05 – 16 – 24 Fishing Report Gale warnings were up on Wednesday spoiling the opening day of black sea bass season. The next few days don’t look much better. Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em said one boat tried to go out after sea bass. The captain said they could not hold…

User 284190339 · 05 – 15 – 24 Fishing Report The weather was not too good on Tuesday and it just goes down hill on Wednesday for the opening day of black sea bass season. On Monday, Bill at Henlopen Tackle reported that a customer caught 3 flounder out of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal…

User 284190339 · 05 – 11 – 24 Fishing Report f someone knows where Mother Nature is sleeping, wake that woman up and tell her it’s May already, get on the job and produce some warm weather. Friday was just plain nasty and fishing followed suit. The only report of fish I had came from…
