With the rockfish season closed until September 1st no line of slingers. Weird with such good flow that it was so empty there on a Saturday at that. Show more

Susquehanna River was extremely low today. Can’t remember the last time the line of rocks at the mouth of the octoraro creek were high and dry.

We left the Ocean City Maryland Inlet with heavy rain only to find 20+ MPH winds and 5-8' seas and very poor visibility. Needless to say the day was a bust. We did make it out to Winter Quarter and tried some hook and line but cut the day short with only a few sea bass, one trigger and one nice flounder. When fueling up in Sunset Marina we caught sight of this sweet 80' Viking "Catch 23". I guess Michael Jordan decided to hang around OC for another week. Show more

Daniel Mastronardi, Jr. caught the 14.1-pound record-breaking fish around noon on August 9, 2020 in the lower bay, with peeler crab for bait in about 15 feet of water near the target ship USAS American Mariner. Mastronardi’s catch breaks the 13.73-pound record that was set only three years prior by Deale resident, Dave Alveberg. Show more

No slam dunks or buzzer beaters for Jordan and his crew this year. After 5 days of fishing they were unable to claim a spot on the leaderboard. We wish them success next year.

Water was very clean as you can see in the pictures about 7-10' of vis which is outstanding for the Susquehanna. Once again we both got shots at flatheads but one miss and one pulled off the spear. Saw again loads of carp and a few blue cats but also again no snakeheads. We did see another guy spearfishing in the river but he did see any snakes either... where is this snakehead takeover I keep hearing about??? Show more

Tyler and I decided last wednesday to do some free diving in the deep holes to try to spearfish for Snakeheads, bluecats and flatheads. Sorry no pics but we did manage to hit one blue cat and one flathead... didn't see any snakeheads. We did see about every other species of fish in those holes - Rockfish, Smallmouth, Walleye, Bluegills, channel cats and loads of carp... carp everywhere! With Isaias forecasted for our area it will likely be a while before we can get back in the river again. Show more

I did however play "hook-y" from work yesterday to do some inshore fishing out of Ocean City. We first spearfished at Winter Quarter. Even thought the vis was not that great we managed a few Triggerfish, Spadefish and Tautog once the hook and line boats showed up we headed out to the Marinie Electric Wreck about 40 miles out. We had the place to ourselves for bottom fishing and caught some nice sea bass drifting over the wreck. Fun day!!! Lots of fish to clean : ) Show more

Went to the ock this evening before dark for a quick few cast with a popper and did get 1 undersized rockfish and a few other blowups. I was stunned when this 25” snakehead took the popper. It’s my first snakehead and I handled it just like a rookie. After I carefully removed all 6 trebles it jumped off my hand and darted right to the water. No flopping or disorientation. Just like a snake it slithered right back in. Lesson learned - on the stringer before I remove the hooks : ) Show more

I went out last night to try for white perch in my usual Cecil side spot. I only caught 2 both on fly. Also tried the usual small gurbs and twisters too and nothing. There were 4 other guys fishing the same spot and they all blanked except I saw one small crappie come up on a spinner. I think the White Perch run is over for this year. Show more
