Hi Folks,

Mother Nature seems to have a problem with anglers fishing the ocean lately. On the few occasions that you could venture out the fishing was fairly good. Sea bass were being taken between DB and DA Buoy. Tog fishing should be picking up on Site #10. The outer wall is giving up some nice tog to sand fleas and green crabs. Back Bay activity remains fair to good. Tog, blues, croaker, and flounder are being caught at Massey’s Ditch. Flounder, blues, and stripers are in Indian River Inlet. Live eels or bucktails are tricking the stripers and most are short of 28 inches. Keeper flounder have been taken just inside the inlet and the north end of Massey’s Ditch. Good ole minnow and squid seems to be doing the trick. If we get a streak of good weather allowing the water to clean up the fishing should be great! Capt. Brent Weist on “KatyDid” out of Lewes has been putting his parties on great catches of sea bass, cod, flounder, bluefish, and tog. Capt. Bill Baker reported fishing at Savages Ditch, Bill, Bob, Norman and Joe caught the incoming tide. Using mostly whole mullet rigs, they were able to beach a few small blues and release a couple of small thresher sharks. The water being a little dirty and seaweed infested, also produced a couple of king fish on small top & bottom rigs, all with fresh mullet. After the outgoing tide changed, the seaweed just about disappeared. George Mood stopped in to tell us that at Cape Henelpoen today, using fresh mullet, he caught a lot of small blues with an occasional larger one 14+",  lots of sand sharks and very large kingfish-almost citation size. He also is directing the DMS 2011 Tournament, and said to get an application, e-mail him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Larry Kauffman, Elverson, Pa., was fishing near the Haystacks with a minnow on a #6 hook, looking for croaker and boated 16.35#. 29" black drum with a 26" girth. Larry is not looking for croaker now!!! Blues, black drum and even a red drum are showing up at at Massey's Landing. The surf is producing a mixed bag of fish at Savages Ditch area. On another trip, Bob, Norm, Joe, Ed and Bill Weiss were hooking up with small blues, black tip sharks, and trout up to 10 inches, large ling cod and skates. Paul Scisly, Elysburg, Pa caught 5.35#, 23.5" flounder on fresh mullet at Massey's Landing.
