SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY … Finally looking nice out despite the morning showers and this wind, the beach and surf look fantastic.  This will be a great weekend.  Cool in the mornings and overnight, nice warm up during the day.  Fall weather at it’s best.  The wind will lay down soon enough.  Last day of rain for a while.

Fishing for blues has been fun the past few days and will get better as the surf is much calmer now.   Lot of pompano and small puppy drum on bloodworms  Bluefish are hitting whole and cut mullet.  Still sharks around for the more adventurous.  Bull red drum at Assateague Island.   We need to surf fish for those at night in Fenwick Island State Park no reason they wouldn’t be off Fenwick Island.  

Have a safe and fun weekend. 

Water temperatures are in the low seventies in the surf, Delaware Bay and Inland bays.
