So the latest news is ABC is going to launch a show called Murder Town and shoot it in Wilmington, DE.  Not sure how I feel about that, on the one hand you could just rebroadcast the daily news, or maybe it will be a decent show, thankfully I don't watch much TV.  Well except the walking Dead.   People on the internet are up in arms…

With reports of quality flounder fishing coming in from the Artificial Reef Sites in the lower bay and ocean, the Old Grounds, Indian River Bay, Broadkill River and the Lewes Canal, a lot of local fishermen are enjoying thick fillets of fresh summer flounder. Here’s an easy recipe that combines the crunch of sautéed Panko, the delicate flavor…

Temperatures are back on the rise both air and water, quickly too I might add.  Masseys landing water temps have been steadily jumping up as well as the surrounding waters.  Summer is definitely in full force.  Now we get to worry about things like humidity and flies.  Crabbing is getting better with the increasing temperatures.  Pot…

How hard is it to stay out of the dunes?  Over the winter these kids went sledding on a dune face.  People got mad at us for wanting them to be charged.  By the way they were not charged…

The big drum made an appearance the other day and as of last night the catches have increased exponentially.  Fresh clam is the bait of choice and you can find the Black drum from Broadkill Beach to Bowers Beach.  You boaters will need to look in the usual spots at the coral beds.  For the most part they are hitting on the top of…

You always hear about that one time your friends caught an epic blitz or run of fish.  You know how it goes, you miss the trip and then your phone rings or you hear about it later.   Luckily today I got there in time to witness the bluefish hammering lines left and right.  I am also kicking myself for not getting up earlier, but such…

Well that didn't take long, while I was writing about fishing the folks lucky enough to be out there today, were banging up thirty inch bluefish.  Ethan Henry hit a nice blue from the surf at Beach Plum Island around noon.  Meanwhile John Stringham caught a blue from the Indian River inlet today on Bucktails at about the same…
