September 2017 Delaware Fishing Report

September 2017 Delaware Fishing Report



Freshwater Fishing

This past summer marked the two year anniversary of
the release of the Big Bass In the Small Wonder E-book, the definitive guide to the top "best kept secret" freshwater fishing locations in Delaware.  Currently, anglers are reporting great Largemouth Bass fishing action in local ponds like Noxontown, Lums and Becks.  The water temperatures are still warm and predatory fish are hungry and on the move.  Most fishermen will tell you that the best fishing is had in the early morning hours or at dusk. Chain Pickerel, Bluegill, Crappie and Perch fishing continues to be good in local rivers, creeks and ditches.  Remember to get your copy of the Big Bass In the Small Wonder Ebook right here: Big-Bass-Small-Wonder-freshwater-ebook


Bay Fishing

Striped Bass (Rockfish)
I had the opportunity to fish the Chesapeake Bay and Sassafras River
in September.  Excellent fishing could be had if you caught the right tide.  I went dusk fishing for Channel Catfish on one occasion.  On another day I fished the open bay and landed numerous White Perch and my son caught a small Rockfish.  Short striped bass were reported by anglers in Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Crabbing also continues to be good.  I had a great time steaming my own fresh caught blue claw crabs last week.  Check out the informative "how to" video I made here: How to Steam Blue Claw Crabs Delaware Style


Saltwater Fishing

Coastal Saltwater fishing continued to be good in Delaware during the month of September both from the surf and by boat.  Anglers reported catching limits of croaker, Northern Kingfish, bluefish and short Rockfish.
Flounder are said to be biting well in the Lewes Canal.  It won't be long until the Tautog are biting again and you can bet your bottom dollar this angler will be out there with green crabs as my bait.  Looking forward to fall surf fishing and sharing some new fish photos with all of you.  Be safe out there and, if you want to tie your own flies and lures, be sure to pick yourself up a Handcrafted Fly Tying Station which are for sale on ebay.
