Fishing Report

Captain Wes Townsend is now bringing in Lobster, they were delicious.  Buying local seafood will take the strain off the grocery stores, keep you in smaller crowds shopping, and support local watermen.   The public can purchase some fish and lobster at Hookem and Cookem located at the Indian River Marina or check the Delaware Sea Grant website…

Gas is how cheap and we can't go anywhere?  Well not true, you can go anywhere within the state to get outside and get some air.  I'm still getting four days a gallon.  A lot of people seem to have taken up fishing. Whole families are getting out and trying their hand at fishing.  It is a great way to get outside, social distance and maybe fill…

(April 25, 2020) ... The southern ocean beaches roughly Keybox to Fenwick Island are alive with northern puffer fish. Andre just got this beauty on Fishbites and a DS Cutom Tackle top and bottom rig. Local tackle made in the USA. There have been random bluefish here and there upwards of thirty inches, on all the beaches, that is just…

(April 23, 2020) ... At least we can still fish, hike, hunt, and walk the trails and some beaches. That is about all we can do in the outdoors and frankly it is one of the safest activities. Delaware is one of the few states allowing fishing, so be grateful not hateful. The surf fishing restrictions are still in effect, and we are lucky we got…

Between the flounder, striped bass, white perch and crabbing things are looking up for the fishing community. The world may be going crazy while bored, but we are going fishing for dinner. For those that cannot come to Delaware we feel for you, we really do, and hope this is all be over soon. In the meantime you can live vicariously…

This weekend was decent fishing up and down the state. It is great to see people getting out and getting some air. Social Distancing is occurring in the fishing community, none of us want to fish next to anyone anyway. From freshwater to saltwater there were a lot of people enjoying themselves. We have a few days of warm weather like…

The inland bays are warming back up rather well. There was a little temperature dip the past few days, but the water temperature has been climbing. Today the temperature peaked at fifty-three and dropped to fifty-one degrees. Crabbing started up a couple weeks ago for many trying for the first time this year. We have a cold snap coming in…

Social Fishstancing is when you go outside and fish by yourself or in a small group that is keeping six feet apart from one another. You can do this easily. I isn't rocket science and the air isn't poisonous. Just when things couldn't make ya feel any worse about fishing. The striped bass are running and it hard to find spots to fish…

I'm still going fishing, because I can, I want to Social Distance, and it is mostly a solo activity. We all learned a new phrase this week, social distancing. Many of us already do that daily, when we go fishing. You don't call fifty of your buddies or even ten to go surf fishing. Ten friends might show up near you by the day's end. But…

Maryland Fishing Report – March 11 (March 11, 2020) ... The signs of spring are everywhere and the warm sunny weather has families outside, enjoying the outdoors together. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is busy stocking local waters with trout and all are preparing for the grand event — the traditional opening day of trout season…
