It has been rainy and windy in recent days so ditch fishing was good for a big Chain Pickerel and some jumbo Bluegill. I was going to try White Clay Creek now that it is stocked with trout, but that may wait until I return to northern Delaware's chateau country later this week.
White Perch, Catfish and Shad are running in the tidal rivers of Southern New Castle and Kent Counties. Night crawlers and bloodworms work best here.
Bass fishing is good with slow retrieve topwater lures like buzz baits. The water temperature is rising and now is a great time to pick up the ultimate guide to Delaware freshwater fishing, its called Big Bass in the Small Wonder . This book is LOADED with info about great "secret" freshwater fishing spots in Delaware.
Saltwater:
Reports are coming into this blog of 10+ lb. bluefish and 30+ lb. Rockfish at the Indian River Inlet. Also reports of monster Black Drum and Tog abound. A recent trip from Roosevelt Inlet and Cape Henlopen in Lewes was unsuccessful, but so much depends on the tide.
Midwest Report:
I recently had the opportunity to fish a lake in Illinois called Lake Shabonna (the Muskie capital of Illinois). I really recommend checking it out on the map. Good yellow perch fishing too. I will have to return to the lake this summer with some home made flies made on my DIY Fly Fishing Vise
Until then, tight lines!
