It’s officially May, and it shows! The weather at the inlet is gorgeous and the fish are biting.

We have mostly rockfish coming up out of this region, but tuna reports are still coming out of NC. Fingers crossed this warm weather sends them up this way!

This summer, we are starting our First Fish Club! To be in the club, all you have to do is catch your first fish EVER, bring us a picture of you and your catch, and that’s it, you’re in! You will receive a medal, a certificate, and you’ll get your name on our First Fish Member board in our Main Office.

**If you want to join the club during this crisis, please call ahead as our office is closed at 302-227-3071.

Introducing the FIRST MEMBER of our FIRST FISH CLUB, Megan! Using her “trade secret” (bucktail), she hauled in this beauty out of the north side of the Burton’s Island causeway this past Wednesday. Congratulations, and welcome to the club, Megan!

Masks are required in ALL state parks, including the marina, due to the current health crisis. Please plan accordingly if you are headed down this way!

Thanks again! We’ll see you soon!

Fishing Report for 4/27/2020

Written on: April 27th, 2020 in Fishing Report

Happy Spring Everyone!!! Crazy times we are all living right now. But a perfect time to get out on the water with your family and get hooked on fishing.

We have seen and heard the reports from NC and can only hope all those Tuna’s start heading North soon. The weather has been a bear all the wind and rain but this too shall pass.

There have been some Rockfish popping up here and there around the inlet and coastline but nothing red hot yet.

With much regret we have had to cancel our 6th Annual Kid’s Catch Tournament held June 19-21. We will be announcing dates for 2021 !!! that gives everyone a year to get geared up.

We will be posting some new info about our new Kid’s First Fish Program and also our new Kid’s Fishing Program to begin this 2020 season.

Till next time Tight Lines & better Times are coming soon 🙂

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:
