There is not much to report due to Maria hanging around off the coast.  The seas should be lying down in the next day or two so we should get back to some good fishing shortly.  In the meantime, stop on down to the marina and check out some of the great deals in our ship store.  Also, swing by Hammerheads Dockside and grab some lunch or dinner, then hit Hookem & Cookem for all of your bait and tackle needs.

Til next time, tight lines and good times!

Wow…this is a beautiful day today, Saturday, September 9, 2017.  Say a prayer for those folks down in Florida getting ready to be hit by Irma.  Hope everyone can get out of harms way.

Up here, the weather is much better.  There is a good breeze going today, but it is not keeping the real fishermen from heading out and landing a fish.  Check out these reports from this week.

Jim Bunting of Georgetown, DE, Capt. Frank Perna of Alexandria, VA and Tony Balestrieri, fished on the Indian Giver out at the Baltimore and the Poor Man’s and had a pretty good day. They trolled ballyhoo and caught mahi and then deep dropped to catch some nice blue line tile.

This 6.7lb black drum was caught by Susan Krepshaw of Wilm., DE, using live sand fleas while on the south side of the Indian River Inlet.

Capt. Roger Meekins took a half day trip on the Capt. Bob II and had a great day of flounder fishing. The boat had 28 keeper flounder with many limits being taken home.  Chris, John, Rowan and Karie Pickell, from Lancaster, PA, Darrell Doupnik of Dagsboro, DE and Tom Carlson of Baltimore, MD. They were fishing out at O-Buoy using cut bait, shiners and Gulp baits.

Nothing to report except for lots of RAIN!!!   Everyone must be at the Outlets…because they are not out fishing.  College football is about the only thing happening today…which you can come down to Hammerheads Dockside and watch on one of their many TVs.  If you feel like staying home, stop on down to Hookem & Cookem for some fresh seafood to take home and steam up or broil.  Hopefully nicer weather on Sunday allows the ocean to flatten out for a great day of fishing on Monday…Monday is looking like the nicest day of this weekend.

Til next time, tight lines and good times!!!

Not much to report.  Small blues in the inlet accompanied by LOTS OF WIND AND RAIN.   The holiday weekend doesn’t look the greatest, but maybe the seas will calm down enough for folks to get out Sun afternoon or Monday.
