I wrote and posted this on our Facebook page this morning with this picture I found online.  I didn't post it correctly, and everyone has been sharing it for what I wrote about 9/11, Jeff sorry if your page is going crazy, my bad. .... Never forget that day. I know I never will. In all the bickering online over politics this year…

I have been running back and forth between Long Neck and Broadkill Beach.  There is a beach cleanup at Broadkill Beach on Saturday the 15th of September, I will be there to help since, we fish that area, and coincidentally, it is my new backyard for a month.  I am going to spend some time off the beaten track, and check some places out I…

The T section of the Cape Henlopen pier will be demolished, starting next week.  The area has already been set up with notices for boaters to avoid that area, this is for all kayakers as well.  Delaware State Parks has to "contain" any loose debris.  Construction crews estimated it will take 6-7 weeks.   So, sometime in June ... I am…

This has been a great weekend, sitting around, and promoting the raffle.  I met a lot of people, and had a great time talking with all of you.  We will draw the winner in about 5 days I have to collect and correlate everything.  That takes a little time, thank you for your patience and participating.  While I was at Rick's Bait and Tackle…

Yesterday Alan and Cindy's crew were fishing 3r's and hit a few redfish.  Top and bottom rig with green/yellow and orange/yellow floats with blood worms, fishing for spot.  There are decent sized redfish all over the place, and they are getting bigger.  Captain Savidge text earlier that redfish are at Cape henlopen for the past 2 days.  So far the…

The past week the flounder have slowed down, until yesterday when they turned back on heavy.  I am at Rick's Bait & tackle today selling raffle tickets, and I have seen many a flounder weighed.  The other day Randy Piascinski "the duke of fluke" caught a 6.2 pound doormat on live mullet.  Yes, that is his nickname, he calls himself, you can…

I met Kristen on 3R's today to actually do a little surf fishing.  She was set up, the tide was almost to the bottom of the low.  The wind was right over the dunes, and the flies were horrible.  So we stood knee deep in the wash and fished.  The ocean was calm today, and the tide was lower than normal.  We bailed after the flies really turned on,…

On the back roads to the beach, there is Jim's Bait and Tackle located at 35011 Roxanna rd. in Frankford, DE.  Jim Mershon and his wife Sandy opened the tackle shop on their property in April.  They are a family operated, and oriented business.  New shops come and go, but this one is here to stay.  Jim Mershon has years, and years of…

There are bluefish in the Indian River Inlet running the tides.  Hitting spoons and bucktails.  Rigging up 2 bucktails like a speck rig has done well also.  I was using a silver spoon, and had several hits, but didn't hook up.  The condition of my spoons hooks aren't exactly up to par ... I have been busy.  I fished for all of 20 minutes.  The…

I have extended the raffle deadline once, I am not doing that again.  We are raising money for the Center of the Inland Bays.  DSF has purchased a large portion of this gear for these prizes.  The raffle will end on midnight at the end of labor day weekend.  We will pull tickets a week later.  If you would like to get a ticket they are available at…

Last night we were rocked by storms, Sussex county is now waterfront property.  Everything is flooded, low spots are holding large amounts of water.  The exercise area in Pot Nets Bayside is completely full of water.  Pontoon boats were ripped from their decks last night, something no one here has ever seen before.  The pontoon boat…

Yes, you read that correctly, Monday night a hammerhead was caught in the Indian River Bay.  I know exactly where, not going to burn that spot.  No we do not have a picture, these boys do not fish with cameras, ever.  They have a angling problem that can only be cured by more fishing.  If he said he caught a 50 pound loch ness monster, I would…

Mike Givens of the band Monkee Paw was surf fishing this morning, and came up with croaker after croaker, on green fish bites.  He was surf fishing somewhere in Delaware Seashore State park.  Friends at 3r's drive on access this morning, produced croakers and bluefish on mullet rigs.  While I was there at the top of the incoming tide…

I dropped by the Cape Henlopen fishing pier today.  Which has been producing all kinds of fish lately.  I heard one young man complaining all of the flounder they caught were undersized.  He did hit a large bluefish, but was more concerned with the small flounder.  I was happy they were catching fish.  There is always a very diverse crowd at…

Yesterday Mike Parker of Outdoors Delmarva was filming for the September 1st episode.  He went fishing out of Lewes, DE and got into some huge tilefish ... "We caught 16 Golden Tilefish aboard the Quintessa, out of Lewes, Delaware. We were deep-dropping in anywhere from 500 to 1500 feet of water in Wilmington Canyon between 70 and 80 miles off.…

Well it has been an interesting few days, I met a lot of cool people, and made some new friends.  First off, I want to congratulate Kristen Kemper, Jennifer Garmer, Patty Link, and Sabrina Shannnon for winning the Mahi Division in the Poor Girls Open.  They fished with Captain Scooby "Kevin", mates Travis and Jimmy Hall on the boat REEL DESIRE.…

I met Teresa at Herring Point beach Wednesday afternoon, we arrived early for shark fishing. 5 more to go, and we are done ... nothing like a personal shark week ... upclose and personal that is.   I was anticipating catching some red drum, weakies, and/or pompano.  I haven't actually surf fished in weeks it has been all sharks.  I really…
