| Current Report:
Fishing for the past two weeks has been off and on depending on the weather. We have had quite a few windy and rainy days where people either did not fish, or they were skunked! But between those nasty days, people have been doing decent on the Tautog, Bluefish & Rockfish. On the inshore wrecks, they have been catching many tautog & seabass. Sadly, they have to throw all the seabass back because the season is closed. Yesterday the Karen Sue fished out of the Indian River Marina & they came in with over 35 keeper tautog! The inlet fishing has been up and down. Catching keeper Rockfish on stretch 25, Bucktails, Spoons, Live Spot & Live Eel. There are still a few Flounder out there, fishermen are catching on stretch 25 while trolling for Rockfish. Along the beach, there have been a few rockfish & bluefish caught on fresh bunker, spot, & finger mullet. Wish there was more to say about the fishing atmosphere, but the weather has really slowed fishing down a lot. Lets just hope we can have better weather this week!! WE NOW HAVE LIVE SPOT!!!!!! If you have any questions, you can always call Hook 'em & Cook 'em & we give you the current fishing report to the best of our abilities! Hook 'em & Cook 'em

November 2, 2009 Fishing Report
Over the weekend, there were not too many people around fishing. But there were still some Rockfish, Tautog, Bluefish & some Flounder Caught.
Inlet: There are quite a few small Rockfish being caught in the inlet. There are some keepers in either early morning or late night. They have been using live eel & spot, or something as simple as a Bucktail and worm. Also, trolling Chesapeake Bay Lures and Stretch 25+. Surf: There have been a couple of Rockfish coming up from Fenwick Island. Some Big Snapper Bluefish in the surf they are catching them on finger mullet & fresh bunker! Offshore Wrecks & Junk Piles: Catching keeper Tautog on Site 10 & other structures. They have been using either green crab, or sand flea. Some flounder have also been found scattered around B Buoy. Using any type of cut bait or spot. Its been a rather slow fishing weekend. But we are hoping that it picks up as the water temperature gets colder & the Rockfish move in.:)

Okay, I know I have not updated all summer. And some of you have let me know about it. Just tell Bert to hire someone else so I can just do this job full time.
Enough of my excuses here is the latest report....Black sea bass fishing has been closed due to an emergency regulations. Yes, we all know the powers that "BE" in their infinite wisdom have come to the conclusion that the quota has been over harvested for the year.
But ask any fisherman that has been out trying to bottom fish and you hear the same story over and over again. Sure they caught the heck out of them, but they kept next to nothing. The best day for black sea bass was last Sunday, the last day you were allowed to keep them. We had several boats come in with some nice catches and just as it was starting to look good they go and close it down.
Keeper rock fish have started showing up in the Inlet up by the bridge. Live spot, artificial lures or plugs have been the key.
The flounder have really slowed to a crawl this past week. There have been a few still caught out in the inlet. They have been using live spot or minnows.
We have both the spot and the minnows available right now. But as the weather gets cooler it will be harder and harder to find the minnows.
Tautog season opened back up on Sept. 29th and it was a little slow going in the beginning but things are starting to turn on in the Inlet. Remember the size limit is 14" and you are allowed to keep 10 per person. As for fishing out on the wrecks....not a lot of people have been out there fishing so I can't really say.
The bait of choice is either green crab or sand fleas. We currently have both the green crabs and the sand fleas, but the sand fleas are in very limited supply and will go fast I am sure.
The offshore report is pretty much non-existent. There has not been a boat to go out offshore from the marina in over 2 weeks. And when they went out they were going for the white marlin. Some boats did also catch some wahoo and dolphin while in the search for the whites.
Surf fishing starting picking up with some blue fish in the surf at 3R's road. Use fresh finger mullet, which you can find at our southern store in Bethany Beach.
That is all for now, I will try to keep up with the reporting.
