Welcome to TheFishingReport.com Forum

Nearshore Ocean and Bay Captain Rick has been targeting FLOUNDER on the full day headboat Keena Dale IV with mixed results. There are some nice fish being caught, including some beauties of 6 lbs or so, but the numbers seem to vary from day to day. Some days they just seem to slay them and the next day you really have to work for them. Best catches seem to be on Spro or bucktail jigs tipped with a strip of squid of belly meat or a fat minnow, but top and botton rigs also work well. As any good flounder fisherman knows, the secret is to let him chew on it awhile.... The half day headboat is sailing on a daily basis. Captain Mike is a joy to fish with - his never ending search for the Mighty Croaker makes his trips an adventure in themselves, and the man does work hard to put you on the fish..... He has put some flounder in the boat, and the first croakers are showing up at the pier in the state park, so the half day fishery should perk up any day. Roosevelt Inlet has been the hot spot on FLOUNDER over the past several days, with catches of a dozen or so fish being common. The biggest ones were around the jetties at Roosevelt inlet, but there were a ton of little ones where the stone rip rap meets Lewes Yacht club. I've have seen quite a few of 22 to 23 inches come out of the inlet over the past week. Good numbers of flatties are also coming off the public dock just outside my door, the old boat ramp, the new ramp, and off the pier in the state park. The pier is also yielding spot, croakers, and quite a few flounder. If you have a small child who wants to catch fish - get him some bloodworms and/or Fishbites, along with a pack of chartruese GULP baits and take him to the pier. If you want to try something different, pick a high tide after dark and toss a half a SPOT or chunk of bunker into the surf on a big hook with a wire leader. We hooked three fish one night last week and never turned a one of them. Two of them headed for France on the express train - emptying the spool in less than a minute. I don't think one of them even knew he was hooked - just swam off steadily against an increasingly tight drag, until he took all the line..... and my older son is an ocean lifeguard swimming with those things..... INDIAN RIVER INLET BLUEFISH have been wandering in and out of the inlet with the tides and a real nice STRIPER bite has developed in the rip in front of the Coast Guard station. There were a few days last week when the action held up most of the day, but best action on the linesiders seems to be at night. Next time you see an moving tide just after dark, you need to tell the wife you have a (fishing) fever and need to take a little ride to cool off. Be careful on those rocks - don't even try to fish off the jetties without the right footwear and a good dose of common sense. http://tiderunnerstackle.com Tiderunner Bait and Tackle Tiderunners Tackle 105 Anglers Rd Lewes, DE 19958 302-645-8866
