It went from one stretch of bad weather to another. The only window was at the beginning of the week, when tog season opened on Tuesday. A few boaters ventured out on Delaware Bay, and did find some willing tautog along rocks of the Outer Breakwater. There was still a big swell outside the Wall from relentless northeast wind, so Randy Jensen and Charlie Breitenbach anchored on the inside, and picked at blackfish during a stretch of clean water during the first of ebb tide. They ended up with eight keepers by using Asian shore crabs for bait. Dave Walker tried the base of Brandywine, and reported not much in the way of tog action. However, he did land a 6.7 pound sheepshead. Matt Shoup was also fishing Brandywine when he connected with a 13.24 pound trophy sheepshead. That big porgy fell for a fiddler crab. It was back to strong northeast wind the remainder of the week, putting a halt to the efforts of any boaters attempting to try for tog. Surf casters were able to get a little beach time in between blows. Anglers on the sand from Cape Henlopen to Herring Point hooked small bluefish, puppy black drum, and the occasional kingfish while baiting with fresh mullet, bloodworms and clams. Mullet were still in the area at the beginning of the latest storm, but its questionable if any will remain after it settles down this time. Same goes for offshore tuna action. Crews that ran to Washington Canyon Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday found good numbers of yellowfins while chunking during the daytime. But, who knows what the combination coastal noreaster and passage of Hurricane Joaquin will do to that bite.
