Bottom bouncers were glad for the reopening of sea bass season. Boaters targeted reef structure at Site 11, and Del Jersey Land, and found decent numbers of keeper sized bass among numerous throwbacks. The Triple Wrecks area, including the Dry Docks, was also productive. Captain Brent on Katydid fished opening day, and said he made several stops, but did manage to put together a boat limit of 120 knotheads for his patrons. Bluefish, porgies and a lone legal flounder were mixed with the bass. Butch Warrington and Charlie Ruggiero stopped by with 29 quality sea bass they boated over the Radford Wreck. Brent was back out for bass on Sunday, and his group put together a limit of 150 bass, plus blues and a 24 inch flounder. Matt Baker, Chip Graves and Jeff Drury fished a wreck in 130 feet Sunday, and limited out with 45 beautiful blueheads, including Jeff's impressive 4.64 pounder. Black sea bass action should hold up through the coming weeks as fish move and stage on structure in the 15 to 20 fathom corridor. Tog catches remained pretty good along the Outer Breakwater at the mouth of Delaware Bay. However, winds from the north to east quadrant made it unsafe to toggle in on the outside many days. Dirty water plagued toggers too, and best bites occurred during limited sections of the tides, when clarity was okay. Captain Brent hosted a group of Baltimore firefighters Tuesday on Katydid, and they returned from the Wall with 21 keeper tautog, including a 7.37 pound citation earner for Stephen Schultz. On Wednesday, Dr. Luis Mispireta muscled in a 9 pounder, and Bob Murphy managed a 7.76 pound tog at the Wall on Katydid. Joel Bullard and his crew fished with Capt. Pete on Top Fin Tuesday, and brought back 18 tog, including Joel's 6.85 pounder. Captain Pete Haines hooked a 6.95 pound tautog at the Wall Wednesday. Joe and Dave Walker, and Tony Vansant worked the Wall Wednesday for their limit of 15 stout tog. Bill Dorey decked an 8.36 pound bruiser blackfish at the Wall Thursday morning. Larry and Barry McDonald checked in with 8 chunky tog from the Wall Thursday. Mike Buczik bested a 7.67 pound blackfish at the Breakwater Saturday. Don Ward decked an 8.93 pound brute over an Ocean wreck aboard Katydid Saturday. Aimee Bunting boated her first ever blackfish at the Wall Sunday. That trophy tog weighed in at 8.64 pounds. Wayne Brzoska boated a 7.4 pound tog Sunday, and Braydon Cichocki captured a 7.07 pounder. Tautog sharpie Randy Jensen braved questionable conditions on the outside of the Wall Saturday, but was able to stay in position for a short time before the surge and wind forced him to move. His attempt paid off with a 9.9 pound bruiser blackfish that landed him in the lead of this season's Lewes Harbour Tog Tournament. That position didn't last long, since Charlie Breitenbach pulled a 10.42 pounder off the Wall Sunday to take over First Place. Current standings show Charlie at the top with his 10.42 pound tog, Randy in Second with his 9.9 pounder, and Robert Faries rounding out Third with an 8.7 pound tautog. The Tourney runs through October 31st, and interested anglers can sign up and pay by the day at Lewes Harbour Marina, prior to fishing during the last week. Surf casters had blues at 3Rs Road. Cut mullet on float rigs resulted in snappers ranging from 10 to 16 inches. No word of migratory stripers at the mouth of Delaware Bay, but resident rockfish have been active in Lewes Canal and local tidal creeks. They could be caught by tossing surface plugs and swimming soft plastics, or bottom fishing with clams, bloodworms or squid heads. Brian Smith brought in his limit of two 28 plus inch rock he hooked with poppers in Broadkill River Saturday.
