Fishing Report.....................................
Nov. 11,2009

Delaware Bay- The rockfish action at the mouth of the bay is about as good as it gets.

Trolling with Stretch 25s has produced big rock . I suspect jigging with metal lures or bucktails
would also be productive. Drifting with live eels had worked very well!

As far as I can tell the rock are biting on moving water either in or out. Overfalls Shoal, the Eights
and the rip outside the Outer Wall have all produced good numbers of fish. To date I have not
heard a report of fish caught at Brown Shoal or Hen and Chickens. This should change any day as
more fish arrive from the north.

Tog fishing has also been good at the Outer Wall and the Ice Breakers. Most any type of crab will
do fine for bait.
Tog were caught over upper bay reef sites and in the rocks supporting lighthouses.

.
THE SURF - Surf casters hit a bonanza on Friday and Saturday when big blues stormed the
beach. We had reports of 8- to 10-pound blues caught from Cape Henlopen to Three Rs Road. Cut
bait was the choice of most fishermen with bunker and mullet leading the list.

I fished the beach most of the day on Monday catching one short rock on cut bunker about halfway
through the incoming water. The wind was east, the water was clear, but there was no sign of bait.
Reports from Tuesday and Wednesday indicated the situation did not change.
With all this east wind I have no doubt the bait will move in and bring a few big rock along. The key
to success is to be there when this occurs. Last year we had the best action in the middle of
November.

INSHORE OCEAN - No one went out last weekend or for several days before that. With the
tourist season over, head and charter boats are only finding enough patrons to run during the
weekends. When the weekend is a blowout no one runs and no one has anything to report.
I expect some good tog fishing this weekend as the weather report is reasonable for both Saturday
and Sunday. The possibility of finding some false albacore and big bluefish is good.

DELAWARE BAY ROCKFISH
Live eels drifted on a six-foot leader with a circle hook will be a good rig to begin the day. The best
method for fishing this bait on a circle hook is to put the rod in a holder and wait until it bends down
and line is pealing from the reel before picking up the outfit. Do not set the hook! The circle hook
has that job covered.

If dog sharks become a problem break out the trolling gear and start pulling plugs. Do not troll in an
area covered up with live bait drifters. If you want to switch to lures in this situation use metal jigs or
bucktails and drift along with the fleet.

Some people will chunk bunker and this method has been responsible for some very big rockfish.
Chunkers must find there own area as this technique is not compatible with anything else. I would
look at the Broadkill Slough on the Delaware side and the 60-Foot Slough over in New Jersey.
Good luck.
