WGMD Fishing Report 6-1-22
Wednesday was not a pretty day on the water.
My wife Barbara and I left the Lewes Boat Ramp around 9:00 AM in a thick fog and a nasty east wind. The incoming was really coming in and we started drifting up the Broadkill River in hopes of finding flounder, spot or croaker. Barbara had a top-bottom rig with Fish Bites and I had a bucktail with a live minnow. The SONAR was pretty much blank.
The drift was quick and we were all the way up to Oyster Rocks Road when I had a hit that I missed then it came back and I set the hook. The fish was taking drag and running all over the place. It was a good-sized bluefish that Barbara was able to net and we got it in the cooler. Measured 28.5 inches and 5.5-pounds. That was it for the day. My brother-in-law DR Twilley and his friend Dave left the dock when we did and fished the canal. He had two nice flounder.
