Find mass money

Spot is hot at the Cape Henlopen fishing pier. Nothing like sleeping through a storm while phones are blowing up at midnight with tornado alerts. Tropical storm Elsa was an overnight blow and gone. The weather has been cooperating for the boats most days. That action has been hot on the good days. Offshore and Delaware Bay flounder action is good on wrecks and reefs, but most anglers are concentrating on sea bass. Not only a food source for fish, but also a reef-like structure for all kinds of life, and a natural filter for the waters. All of those bars are on top of the mussel beds, which are buried and gone now. The sandbars have taken over the bays, and that usually pushes fish elsewhere. Hardest part of the Inland Bays is finding a place to fish on the weekend. The Inland Bays flounder action and Lewes-Rehoboth Canal have been decent for the area. Fish are a little larger and hitting on Gulp, or minnows on fluke rigs (single drop flounder rig), or jigging bucktails with or without Gulp. The flounder action at the Cape Henlopen pier is picking up a little more. Tautog season started July 1, and some anglers are doing OK at the walls in the Harbor of Refuge.  Those catches also just started, but slow and random on the southern beaches. Must have been visiting Elvis with the pompano, who are still late to show. No one blew anything up this past week, except the bluefish! Yeah buddy, the blues are finally in town, only about four weeks late. If you haven’t been outside, we can cut the air with a butter knife now.
