Fall offshore out of Indian River any Good?

KAISER · 09-22-2009, 09:02 PM

I fish out of Menemsha MA and with the season winding down in the NE i am wondering what Oct is like out of IRI.

Woud like to fish more this fall and am wondering if Trailering my boat down would give me another 4-6 weeks offshore?

Any places to keep a boat on a trailer down there? i have a 28' True World Marine on a tri axel.

any info on the typical season would be great
Thanks in advance

It has been real good right now in 30-40 fathoms for Wahoo, smaller but legal Yellowfins, Dolphin, and White Marlin. I think it should continue to be good all through October. Good Luck!

Hey,
There's lots of fishing to be had - Tog (tons of wrecks and structure to fish), Seabass, Stripers -in a month or so, and my favorite - the whiptails, should be comming through now because of inshore water temps. Anymore, there's really no reason to take the boat out of the water until late December.

I know that I personally get tied up with hunting once September rolls around, and fishing starts taking a back seat. I have a feeling that a lot of guys get that way, and that may be why you haven't gotten many responses.

It's hard for me to easily describe the lay of the land, but we keep our boat in Lewes - the northern point along the coast. The absolute easiest place for me to suggest keeping your boat for a few weeks would be in Lewes, at Lewes Harbor Marina. The owner's name is JB Walsh and he's pretty laid back. Boat storage is what he does, and he has two travel lifts as well as a private ramp on site. There's a new public ramp that was just completed in Jan, but to be honest - it sucks. It looks pretty, but isn't practical for a 28' boat and the truck that tows it. The spaces are tight, the turns are tight - the docks arent far enough out in the water and don't even have cleats because of the American Disability Act or some shit. My suggestion would be to work out a deal with JB to store the boat and use his ramp for whatever timeperiod you wish.

There's a great tackle shop/fuel dock, on site, the owners are Joe and Amanda and they're just nice people - no price gauging there.

A quick spin on Google Earth my give you a better perspective of the area I'm talking about.

Hope to see you down here, feel free to shoot any more questions my way

Ditto on the above post. Plenty of fishing left. Last week we picked up a 41lb wahoo and plenty of reeling action on the false albacore.

We too run out of Lewes!

Take a look at the reports on this site and sunset or OC fishing center
http://www.ocsunsetmarina.com/fishing_report.php
that will give you an idea of the fall fishing and if it worth it to you.
Best of luck

KAISER · 09-25-2009, 07:51 PM

Wow! I just got back from from OC and that place is a east coast fishing Mecca. All the dock side services at your finger tips.

THE FLOUNDER SEASON IS STILL OPEN IN DELAWARE AND THE INDIAN RIVER INLET IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE FOR THAT RIGHT NOW!!!!!.....SEA BASS FISHING IN THE FALL ANYWHERE FROM 8 TO 30 MILES OFF THE BEACH ROCKS!!

ROCKFISHING OR STRIPPED BASS FISHING IS OFF THE HOOK FROM THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER TO THE END OF NOVEMBER......IN THE DELAWARE BAY ON THE BEACH FRONT AND ON THE WRECKS,......BUT THE SLOBS ARE CONSISTENTLY CAUGHT IN INDIAN RIVER INLET.....

OFFSHORE ROCKS FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AND YOU CAN EVEN CATCH BFT IN THE LATER PART OF THIS MONTH AND ALL OF NOVEMBER AS THEY ARE MIGRATING SOUTH.....THEY DON'T ALWAYS EAT BUT WHEN THEY DO ITS FUN.....

THE WHITE MARLIN BITE RIGHT NOW AS WELL AS THE WAHOO BITE IS HEATING UP TO THE BEST WE HAVE SEEN IN YEARS.....

JOE AND AMANDA IN LEWES ARE THE FOLKS TO SEE UP THAT WAY......BERT ADAMS IS THE MAN TO TALK TO @ HOOK'EM AND COOK'EM BAIT AND TACKLE AT THE NORTH SIDE PARKING LOT OF THE INDIAN RIVER INLET. AND BERT HAS A KILLER LIVE BAIT SELECTION WHICH INCLUDES LIVE SPOT.....WHICH IS A MUST HAVE IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER....
