Anyone holding onto hope for Columbus Day weekend? (assuming the Government doesn't close down) -

Delmarva Fishin' Reports - October 2022

Yep, that was me. Fished north of you on Tuesday and to the south on Wednesday. Kept to the north on Thursday due to the weather forecast. Lots of Kings and a few sharks for me. I can usually tell when it’s a shark on, but that big one has me fooled. -

Big Sandbar Shark for me on Wednesday. Good circle hook set in the corner of the mouth so he didn't break off, and didn't see him until he was in the wash. Thought for sure that it was a HUGH Red! To add to the disappointment, he tangled 3 lines during the fight (fishing alone). I HATE SHARKS.... -

Was there bait (spot / croaker / kingfish) around to be caught this weekend? -

So what’s the “post-storm” plan? Looks like a west wind by the end of the week. I’m hoping that will help offset the full moon that’s also coming up next weekend to improve conditions enough to open the OSV zone back up. -
Where did you catch them. Salt or Brackish water? Looks to be in the Killie family.

Ok, pre-storm question…. 100lb mono or fluorocarbon leader? I snell the hook and crimp the leader. Got fluoro this year and found it a little harder to snell, but got it after a few tries. -

So which is more important in starting the migration? Water temp or length of daylight, or both? The water temps are abnormal high this year, but the days are getting shorter. I know that the diurnal cycle determines movement of land based animals, but I’m not sure about the fish migration. -

Walked the beach Friday night and yesterday since OSV Zone is still closed. LOTS of structure, not much beach. Points, holes, bars and rips everywhere. Unfortunately, all the sand came from the beach. High tide was up to the dunes at the drive-on so you know there has been lots of beach erosion. Half burnt firewood everywhere from the party people. Even after the full moon tides are done, it’s going to take time for the beach to heal. No fish to be had yesterday, I assume they have all eaten well during the rough surf. -

My mouth literally became to water at the sight of the Monarch on the beach. That's when you know that you're there at the right time... Now to find the right place... -

Fishing is never HORRIBLE. Sitting in an office might be, but fishing is always better. Sometimes it’s just slow, but that’s when you get to enjoy your surroundings -

When my son was only about 5 or 6 years old, we found a "mini rip" at low time in OBX. The water was only about 6" deep so we were able to stand there and watch the sea life. As the current pulled sand crabs through the cut, there were small pompano feeding on the back side of the bar. The entire process was there for us to watch! I couldn't have asked for a better teaching opportunity. I explained the entire system to him, and then said "just imagine everything much bigger". We've caught every species imaginable on the back side of a rip. It's like putting food on a conveyor belt for hungry fish. Just find the right tide and that spot WILL produce... ;-)
