Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching. The last hurrah of the summer season is here. It is hard to believe.
Hurricane season is here too. Earl and The Weather Channel are doing their best to booger up the holiday weekend. At this point they are saying tropical storm conditions will be likely for Friday and Saturday. We are hoping the storm will move further north and get sucked out to sea by the gulf stream. If the storm does move further offshore it is likely we will only see heavy surf conditions on the beach and some really high tides.
The surf has been experiencing long period swells from tropical storm Danielle which has created a good under tow and rip current. Needless to say fishing conditions have not been optimal and things have slowed a bit on the beach. I did see a striper and bluefish caught on 3R's road on Sunday. The surf class was skunked this morning.
One good thing about the effect of the swells on the beach has been that the beach is beginning to transition from a summertime profile to a flatter, wider fall profile. This is good news. Stripers and flounders in the wash!! Woo hoo!
Tautog season will be closed in Delaware waters from September 1 through the 28th.
Look for croakers, black drum, triggerfish and sheephead to fill the tautog void.
Striper fishing has slowed a bit in the last week but many are looking for it to pick up as this storm approaches. Stripers love sloppy water. Bucktails and plugs should be the hot baits .
The flounder bite in the Inlet and bays has been very consistent. Gulp Alive Swimming Mullet in chartruese, pearl white and pink have been very good.
The weather will probably wash out what has been red hot fishing offshore for white marlin and wahoo. One Ocean City boat reportedly had 50 plus whites on Monday.
