Fishing Report
10/21/2026
Wind is still blowing
The wind is still blowing. It never stops!!!!
Not much to report from the surf. Its not really been fishable. Faithful Steward Crossing has been closed due to high tides and overwash.
Tog bite in the inlet is very good. Not hearing much about sheepshead lately. Water temp is back down to 63 degrees. Time for the sheepshead to head south.
Still no live green crabs. The crabbers in Maine report the harvest has slowed down and they are only catching enough to supply the local market so none are coming this far south.
