Fishing Report 2/8/2019

Written on: February 8th, 2019 in Fishing Report

Hope everyone had a chance to get out in the couple nice days that we had!

 

The boats that fishing the inshore waters are still pulling up large tog from Lewes on down to OC with plenty of room to spare for other boats to join.

 

If you make it down Virginia way, reports are showing black sea bass are ripping and roaring, with anglers catching limits of consistently 4-5 lb fish. Some bluefish have been reported as well, but don’t get your hopes up!

 

NEXT WEEK is the Annual Ocean City Boat Show, so be sure to come down and see us any time on February 15 – 17.

 

Until next week, tight lines and good times!

Fishing Report 2/1/19

Written on: February 1st, 2019 in Fishing Report

As you might imagine, the severe winter weather has slowed down all maritime activities for most people in the Mid-Atlantic region. We’ve seen ice in the basin at least twice since the beginning of the month.

 

That being said, those few brave anglers who bundled up and sailed out of Lewes, Ocean City, and the Inlet pulled up some >10lb tog. Not many people are out, so there are plenty of spots to post up.

 

We have a couple nice days in the forecast, and we still have charters running so give us a call at 302-227-3071 if you want to get into hardy winter fishing!

 

DON’T FORGET to come see us at the Ocean City Boat Show from February 15-17 in our usual spot!

 

As always, tight lines and good times.

Alright folks, it’s officially cold outside! IRM is completely winterized and the slips are emptying as vessels move to their winter homes. The boat ramp lot was full yesterday with people out taking advantage of the low winds.

 

Reports say that keeper rockfish are thick just north of the Indian River Inlet. After a week of shorts, this brought relief to many of our dedicated fishermen.

 

Wishing everyone cozy nights, happy holidays, and of course, tight lines and good times!

Fishing Report for 10/8/2018

Written on: October 8th, 2018 in Fishing Report

It has been a beautiful couple of weeks down here at the Indian River Inlet! The sun is shining, the cool breeze is blowing, and it’s really beginning to feel like fall. The tourist crowds have cleared, so there’s plenty of fish for the locals to nab!

 

Inshore fishing has been steady. Reports coming in with lots of blue fish and flounder on the lines. Our onsite bait & tackle shop, Hook ’em & Cook ’em, has had people coming in with scattered triggerfish, a few Spanish mackerel, and tog.

 

Offshore fishing reports have been awesome. Reports of people hitting their limit (or getting close) of mahi every day for the past couple weeks. There have also been reports of good white marlin fishing, some people even saying they’ve caught more in the past couple weeks than they did all summer combined. There’s also been some scattered blackfin and some yellowfin here and there.

 

Well, folks, the weather is gorgeous, but it won’t last much longer. Make sure to get out there while the crowds are low and the fishing is still hot! Call Carolyn at 302-227-3071 so we can hook you up with a charter trip!

 

Until next time, tight lines and good times!

Fishing Report for 9/21/2018

Written on: September 21st, 2018 in Fishing Report

It has been a long couple weeks down here at the marina. After a hefty nor’easter and a light brush with Hurricane Florence, we are just starting to see our fishermen’s faces down on the docks again. Luckily we made it through the storms with no notable storm damage, but our thoughts are with those in North Carolina.

 

Due to the weather, there has been little to no interest in fishing for the past couple weeks, but current offshore sources say the waters are loaded with mahi, with a few white marlin and wahoo hitting the docks as well. Spot, croaker, flounder, and blues are getting hooked from Cape Henlopen on down to the Inlet, with the CHSP fishing pier being the only consistent location.

 

Weather is looking beautiful for tomorrow, so come on down to IRM and spend the final day of the (official) summer on a boat! Call Carolyn at 302-227-3071 for more information and for reservations.

 

Until next time, tight lines and good times!

Fishing Blog 9/6/18

The Labor Day bustle is out the door down here at IRM. While we haven’t had many people around, those that do come in are bringing back some great hauls. Looks like flounder fishing is really stepping up with a couple monsters hitting the decks this week.

 

DON’T FORGET – Come down for our Fisherman’s Flea Market this Saturday from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm to buy gently-used, professional fishing equipment and whatever else our slipholders are selling!

 

Posing with Toby Miller’s fish is Capt. Don Gillis, both of Dover, DE. This fish was caught out by Toby while at Site 11.  This 9.5lb and 28 inch flounder using a Spro bucktail with a 6″ Gulp grub and squid strip.

 

Brugh Moore of Rehoboth Beach, DE caught his first flounder on Tuesday and boy what a whopper it was.  This 9lb and 28 inch flounder was the largest flounder we have seen come in from the Indian River Inlet this summer.  It was caught using a chunk of mullet on a circle hook while fishing in front of the Coast Guard Station.  He will be spoiled forever now!

 

Fishing out at the Rock Pile was very productive for the crew of the Even Keeleigh.  They were deep dropping squid and cut bait to bring back this batch of large black sea bass and some very nice blue line tile fish.

Pictured are Capt. Mike Babcock, Tom Schanno, Brandon Arnett and Ian Fifer.

 

Cousins, Alexis and Jeb Zolper, both from Rehoboth Beach, DE fished out at the Lightship with chunks of mullet to bring in this catch of mahi. The largest fish weighed 3lbs and was caught by Alexis.

 

Enjoy the waning summer offshore on one of our charter boats! Call Carolyn at 302-227-3071 to squeeze in that fishing trip before the cold winds take over.

 

Until next time, tight lines & good times!

Fishing Report for 9/3/18 – Labor Day

Written on: September 3rd, 2018 in Fishing Report

We made it, folks – Labor Day is officially here! And what a gorgeous day for fishing to top it off.

 

Fish have been hitting the docks despite the intermittent storms all weekend. Inlet fishing has been poor, but fishermen are reporting that there is plenty to catch out in deeper water at the Del-Jersey-Land Reef and the 30-Mile Wreck.

 

Now that the summer crowds are clearing up, it’s a great time to head out on the water on one of our charters! Call Carolyn at 302-227-3071 to get hooked up with an offshore trip.

 

Have a wonderful Labor Day, and until next time, tight lines & good times!
