Hi Folks,

I know I must sound like a broken record but; the weather just

will not get rite. On days when the water clears a bit, the fishing improves

also. The back bays are still producing flounder and blues. A few stripers are

scattered throughout. Spot have started to show in Indian River and in Massey’s Ditch. Indian River Inlet is giving up stripers to those using live spot, live eel, or bucktail and white worm. The bluefish in the Inlet have been really thick on in-coming tide and will hit just about anything you throw at them. Weather is also hampering the offshore fishing. The Hambone seems to be giving up a few bluefin tuna to those trolling. Jeff and Will Courtney had a 41-inch bluefin take a ballyhoo capped with a Zuker. They also had a break-off.

Hi Folks,

The recent storms passing through have kept the Back Bay waters kind of dirty and in turn have slowed the fishing action. Some flounder are still being taken in areas that are not quite as cloudy and it seems the outgoing tide is still producing the most fish. Bluefish and stripers are still providing action in the backwaters as well as in the River Inlet. Incoming tides are bringing schools of shad that provide some real hot action. Tina Marechek of Annapolis, Md. fished Rehoboth Bay using a squid and shiner sandwich to fool her 21-½ inch flattie. Scott Saleff of Millsboro took a 20-½ flounder from Massey’s Ditch using pink GULP! Ocean fishing continues to be slow but I’m sure that will improve as temps rise.

Hi folks,

What a beautiful weekend. The weather was great and the fishing was trying real hard to match the sunny skies. Back bay flounder action continues to be the most productive. Striper action in the Indian River Inlet is also hot when it is hot. Some really nice fish have come out of the inlet. Ocean activity has been mainly sea bass with a few reports of keeper flounder. Big blues have been taken on the troll between DA Buoy and the Delaware Lightship.

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend and enjoyed some great fishing. Flounder action in the back bays continues to produce good numbers of fish along with some nice sized fish. Indian River Inlet is giving up stripers and blues along with some runs of shad. Russell Frey of Boyertown, Pa. used a Storm Lure to fool a 13 pound 6 ounce linesider. David Smith of Felton,De tricked a fat 36-inch striper that In Indian River, hit the scales at 20 pounds 12 ounces. David Shepherd used a bucktail tipped with red squid to tempt his 4 pound 10 ounce, 23 inch flattie. Mark Herman of Bristow, Va. Used squid to nab his 6 pound, 25 inch Indian River flounder. John Grabowski of Long Neck used bucktail for his almost citation, 6 pound 11 ounce, 27-½ inch Indian River flattie. Will Breasure of Georgetown, De. took his citation 7 pound 8 ounce flounder from Indian River Bay using Berkley GULP!. Chris High of Reading, Pa. fished Massey’s Landing with minnow and squid to land a 4-¼ pound, 22 ½ inch flounder. Joe Vascaglia fished Delaware Bay with Dan Readinger to boat some 40-pound drum. Drum fishing is starting to become more and more popular each year.

Hi Folks!  The weather still is a bit uncooperative but the weatherman keeps telling us it is going to get better. When the water is clean and the winds are calm, the flounder fishing has been good. With the regs now allowing an 18-½ inch flattie we should be seeing more keepers. The hot baits are still minnow and squid or the GULP! swimming minnow or mullet in white. pink, or chartreuse. Striper action continues to improve in the Indian River Inlet.
