Lewis Delaware Fishing Report

[BluefishLou]

Went to the inner wall on Wednesday. Fished for tog for about 6 hours. Used green crabs without a bite. Fished structure in 8-24 feet with the water temperature around 50 degrees. Only action around were 36" sand sharks. They were all over and in all depths. I'll try again in a week or two. Any one go to the outer wall yet?

Thanks for the update. Hopefully next week will be better.

Were they Sand Bar sharks or Dogfish? Just curious, I had a bad experience with a mako and now I try to stay away from the ones that have teeth.

I plan to fish the inner wall Sunday. I'll let you know how I do.

[BluefishLou]

Good luck mike o ,
Yes John they were smooth dogfish..

I had no luck yesterday. I had a couple bites but didn't hook any. I guy told me he got a couple of keepers but I didn't see them.

[BluefishLou]

I think I'll go out again on Saturday. This time I'll try shrimp.

Good luck bluefishlou, the water temp should be a lot better this weekend.

Tried again on Saturday using shrimp. Got two good hits but that was it. Four other yakers out around the wall. One kaker trolling got a short striper. Wondering what's up. Anyone have any experience fishing for drum off the Slaughter Beach area?

[babiak]

That was me with the short striper. Caught two more bouncing minnows around the pilings. There were no flounder yet.

[BluefishLou]

Pleasure bumping into you. Maybe we'll hook into some big blues next week..

Maybe I'll bump into you guys. I plan to fish the Cape about once a month. I'd like to catch some big blues.

Thanks for the reports guys. I'd like to make it out there again, but it's a ways out for me. I remember last year starting off slow as well.

I've attempted to fish for drum a couple times out of Slaughter Beach with my boat and I've yet to catch one. Slaughter Beach is a good area for shark fishing. We target sharks regularly there and managed to catch a 6'-7' tiger shark there last year. I'm not talking a sand tiger but the actual ocean going people eating kind. It was the only one I've ever caught.

There were several reports over this past weekend where a bunch of good sized blues were caught in the surf.
