October 9th M&G

[dhmjd]

crud, over a holiday, I'm sure my kids will have soccer tournaments, and with mine that means different locations/states so if that is Columbus day weekend I wont be able to make that one. Oct 25-? bear hunting in MD so that weekend is out too. Good luck to those going tomorrow, I'll be on a dove shoot somewhere on the Eastern shore. May hit IRI sometime between now and then, especially with tog opening back up. Guess I have too many hobbies, I need to be independently wealthy.

we will discuss this at lunch tomorrow over soft crab sammies and beer

Hey guys... Monday is Columbus day and I have off. I've been promising the little lady a trip and we planned it for that weekend... Do you think many will have the same plan with it being a holiday? Don't plan around me but I thought I'd ask since we have some time to plan here.

Good luck tomorrow and take lots of pictures! I want to see who has fall bragging rights, or if chuck can hold his title!

Avg. water temp from Oct 1-15 is 65.

Any Idea what the avg water temps are for there in Oct? I need to look into cold weather gear

I'm game! Sounds good.

Sam, I thought maybe the additional license fee might deter those who might be a little pinched by the economy. I checked and Delaware has a 7 day "tourist license" for $12.50. Hopefully that'll help some:

Henlopen is a great place. Some of the best flounder fishing I have ever experienced.

they had kayak rentals at the pier but idk if they are open this late in the season. i will check

Sounds like an awesome place to fish! I vote yes for the venue... just need to check with the little boss to make sure I can come. I hope so! I'd really like to catch some Tog, flounder, sheepshead, rock....

did i mention sheepshead? no? sorry

flounder
rock
tog
sheepshead
croaker
kingfish
blues
spot

all these can be there in early october plus some ( skates, dogfish and the ever popular horseshoe crab )

Cape Henlopen State Park, right on the southern shore of Del. bay and the ocean. great place to launch by the pier and from there you can fish the pier, the end is closed so nobody trying to hit you, or fish the flats also there an icebreaker wall that holds rock and tog.

i was checking for people that might want to stay for the weekend and there's the Beacon Motel close by or camping at CHSP, or many hotels in rehoboth beach. for drinks and food Irish Eyes in Lewes is close and they have a dock bar on the canal and pretty good food.

these places probably have web sites but im just an electrician not a IT guy if someone knows how to pull them up please do.

What is CHSP? Flounder/Rock trip sounds awesome, I'm going to make sure I can get to this one... (not making it this weekend)

I fish the inlet in OCMD about once a month. I have to disagree with Surfdog. The current is swift in the actual inlet between the Oceanic and the south jetty but the flounder are caught between the coast guard station and the thorofare which is fairly calm. There is easy access at Gudelsky park for the west channel and at 9th St. for the east channel. The IRI is much more treacherous than the OC bay.
