Well, we asked for it – summer is here and the sun is shining down. It’s a little breezier about 15 miles out, so hop on your boat, a friend’s, or one from our charter fleet to escape the heat! Call Miss Carolyn at 302-227-3071 to hook you up!
OFFSHORE
Tuna, tuna, tuna! While the bite is a little slower compared to last week’s epic frenzy, yellowfin continue to hit the deck in decent numbers. Most brought in to IRM have been 50lb or over.
Anglers hooking bigger blues as the summer rolls through. Mr. Fisher (apt name) snagged this near 16lb blue out at the Hot Dog.
INSHORE
Inshore anglers are still coming home with a mixed bag. Sheepshead, bluefish, kingfish, and now mackerel are a consistent catch. Pompano, spot, ling, flounder, and late-night rockfish are will grab a lucky angler’s line here and there.
Once again, thank you to everyone who participated in the 5th Annual Kids Catch All event. Click here to see the wrap-up video done by Unscene Productions!
Signing off, and wishing everybody tight lines and good times this week!

Fishing is still red hot as we head into the weekend before Independence Day. Whether you’re celebrating this weekend or next, be sure to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Looks like we’re in for a sunny couple of weeks!
OFFSHORE
The tuna bite is consistent, with anglers landing mostly yellowfin, but bigeye and bluefin are in the mix. The canyons remain the hotspot for fishing activity, with record numbers of boats heading out every day.
One lucky angler might have scored the Delaware state record for false albacore on the Last $ with Capt. Rodney Meyers, one of IRM’s charter fleet! This is unconfirmed as of now, but we will update once we get more information.
Heavy flounder have been hitting the deck consistently, as have mahi.
INSHORE
As the water temperature rises, we’re seeing more species reeled in along the surf and inshore.
Sheepshead, croaker, triggerfish, trout, and spot made up the “mixed-bag” catches that anglers have reported.
Fishermen seeing more consistent bites with kings, sea bass, flounder, and blues. Rockfish are good at the inlet after dark.
Don’t wait – take advantage of the good fishing and good weather before it goes away! Call Miss Carolyn at 302-227-3071 to book your charter trip with one of our 26 charter fleet vessels. Trips are booking FAST so call ahead.
As always, wishing everybody tight lines and good times!

INSHORE

Wow, what an amazing weekend! Thank you to everyone who showed up to support this event and the Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva (LDAD). We had 107 young anglers enter, and 12 went home with trophies. This event raised almost $15,000 dollars for LDAD to further spread the education of the Delmarva community about tick-borne diseases, an increasingly important cause.
Special thanks to Senator Ernie Lopez for taking time from his busy schedule to come down and present the awards and to speak further about the Lyme disease epidemic.
Our DIVISION WINNERS:
All division winners were determined by weight except for the “Unusual Catch” division, which was left up to the Weighmaster to decide.
The rest of the pictures will be posted on the Kids Catch All website soon.
Of course, thank you to all of our sponsors, whose generous donations of money and raffle items made this tournament happen.
Thank you again to everyone who came out for the tournament, especially to the parents, uncles/aunts, grandparents, guardians of the kids who fished this event. We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.
As always, wishing everyone tight lines and good times!

It was an awesome week for tuna, with most boats coming back with their limit. Mostly yellowfin hitting the deck this week with some bigeye in the mix.
Good numbers of mahi hitting lines as well.
INSHORE
The churning water from last week’s wind gave us a pretty good assortment of catches, or “mixed bag” fishing.
Plenty of boats hitting flounder limits this week.
Surf-fishermen reporting kings, blues, trout, spot, perch, croaker, and even shark getting reeled in to the shore.
This week gave us the first catches of hefty black drum and sheepshead.
The best place for striper still seems to be the IR inlet after dark.
Well folks, it’s looking like a beautiful weekend, so we hope to see you here.
As always, wishing you tight lines and good times!

OFFSHORE
Offshore fishing was good for the boats that made it out. Bigeye bite was awesome. Anglers have had no trouble hooking up bluefin, yellowfin, mahi, and mako for the past couple weeks when they are able to go out.
Flounder also hitting the docks in limits when boaters get out.
INSHORE
Anglers fishing off the surf are having fun landing plenty of kingfish and small trout.

Plenty of mako being caught as well. Anglers hitting their limits of huge sea bass and mahi all week.

Nocturnal anglers have been reeling in keeper rockfish late at night.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend! We were due for a nice weekend, and we sure got it.
INSHORE
Reports of sea bass popping up more and more coming in from the surf. Fishermen consistently hitting their limits all week.
Blues have slowed down a little, with reports dropping off but still scattered.
Some ling and a couple flounder came in with the blues as well.
OFFSHORE
It was an okay week for tuna, but we’re still early in the season. Most bluesfin – haven’t heard of any more yellowfin, but that’s not to say they’re not out there.
A couple of thresher sharks brought in the past couple weeks. Heard there were a few mako as well.
Mahi also hitting the decks intermittently.
By now, everyone should know about our annual Kids Catch All youth fishing tournament on June 21-23 – we still have sponsorships opportunities available, so if you are interested in

Today’s the day, folks. Hot, humid, sunny, and a holiday! This weekend marks the official-unofficial first rush of the busy season for Delaware State Parks (and many other places I’m sure). We hope everyone has a fun, safe holiday weekend!
Inshore
Tons of bluefish reports still coming up out of the jetty and from the beaches, especially between Bethany and Lewes. Some sea bass also reported, as well as scattered trout and small rockfish.
Offshore
Offshore fishing is starting to get fun again with tuna reports popping up. First yellowfin were caught this weekend out of Ocean City and the Baltimore and plenty of dolphin. Limits of bluefin hitting the docks with tons of releases reported as well. Rumor has it that they’re even hooking some nice looking makos.
All that being said, IT’S FISHING SEASON!! Headboats are going on daily trips, call Hook ’em & Cook ’em for more info. Charter slots are filling up quickly so get your trip booked early with Miss Carolyn at 302-227-3071.
