Fishing Report.....................................
By Eric Burnley Sr.*
Updated: Nov. 24,2011
DELAWARE BAY -Last weekend saw a lot of boats at the mouth of the bay and a fair number of big rockfish
brought back to the dock. Live eels drifted through the Valley seemed to be the best technique while trollers had some
success at Overfalls Shoal. With the holiday weekend upon us and good weather forecast for at least three days, I expect
another crowd and more big rockfish by Sunday.
INSHORE OCEAN -The ocean simply has not been very good for rockfish or tog. Part of the problem is the
high winds we seem to have on more days than not. Even when it is calm for a day or two, the water does not have a
chance to settle down.
If we can get a stretch of good weather, tog should be on the inshore wrecks and sea bass on structure in deeper water. I
keep hoping to hear of big rockfish working under birds as they have been up north, but so far that has not occurred.
SURF FISHING - A very few keeper rockfish have been caught from the surf. Cut bunker has been the top
bait. I had hoped the east wind on Monday and Tuesday would have brought some fish to the beach, but as of late
Tuesday evening I had no reports of such activity.
Ling are being caught on small chunks of bunker or mullet. The always popular skates and dog sharks are also available
on the same bait.
OFFSHORE OCEAN - The ocean simply has not been very good for rockfish or tog. Part of the problem
is the high winds we seem to have on more days than not. Even when it is calm for a day or two, the water does not have
a chance to settle down.
If we can get a stretch of good weather, tog should be on the inshore wrecks and sea bass on structure in deeper water. I
keep hoping to hear of big rockfish working under birds as they have been up north, but so far that has not occurred.
