Fishing Report 10/20/19

Written on: October 20th, 2019 in Fishing Report

Well the weather sure has not been cooperating with us much this fall. We had a few boats venture out yesterday with not much to report except a few Seabass. We will post more if we hear from any of the Captains that fished Offshore.

The marina has many large dock projects including some maintenance dredging and we are asking if you are not using your vessel please schedule your haul out immediately. We need the boats out of the water as soon as possible this year so all construction can start on time. We have been sending reminders of this construction since August and your cooperation is much needed.

Have a great Harvest season and till next time Tight Lines & Good Times.

It’s been a pretty slow week for fishing, thanks to the windy weather.

Here’s some pictures from this week in fishing:

While fishing on her birthday, Darla Williard of Harrisburg, PA, caught this 5.3lb and 24.5 inch flounder on the Judy V. with Capt. Chris Adams. Capt. Chris said she caught it using a minnow out at Site 10.

John, Carmen and Christian Ostrowski of Chadds Ford, PA fished at the Wilmington Canyon using plastics like Mold Craft and a Hawaiian Lure to hook up with these 3 beautiful fish. 2 weighed 78lbs and one at 74lbs, they also brought in some mahi weighing up to 13lbs.

Steve Beaudet of Newark, DE, Nick Merlino of Lewes, DE and Capt. Tom Dicampli of Wilm., DE fished at the Del-Jersey site using sand fleas with chartreuse Gulp to bring in this load of black sea bass. The largest fish weighed in at 2.6lbs.

Nice catches, everyone! Hopefully soon we will have more to report. I just saw a decent size tuna and swordfish hanging over at Hook ’em & Cook ’em, so we’ll have more to report on those later. These photos courtesy of Hook ’em & Cook ’em.

Thanks also to everyone who came out for our 1st Annual Autumn Art Festival! We had beautiful weather and a pretty good crowd that rolled through all day. Here’s a little wrap-up from that:

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!

It looks as though the weather is going to settle down and our boats will leave the docks this weekend.

Before the blow we had some great fishing reports and fish hitting the docks like Flounders, Tunas, Tilefish, Mahi and many Marlin Releases. With the weather being just right let just hope the fish will bite for all the boats headed out over the weekend. We will keep you posted as soon as we receive some reports.

Upcoming events Saturday Sept. 7th 9am-2pm The Fisherman’s Flea Market in the parking lot in front of Tackle Shop in Marina. This may not be a huge event but this I can say, the equipment and gear your fellow slip holder’s put out is plentiful and sometimes quite unique.

The 1st Annual Autunm Art Festival is Saturday Sept. 14th 10am-5pm. We will have all sorts of fun from over 60 art vendors, food, pumpkin painting, pinata’s, face painting, music, craft beer and wine tasting under the new pavilion and much more…so bring the entire family down for the event.

Hope to see you at all of our events in September. Till then Tight Lines and Great Times!!!!
