Fresh Villas Fishing Reports

The cold-front is subsiding, and hereby the fishing is starting to peak again. We deployed several different baits, and around 11:30PM in the evening... one of our spinning outfits doubled on over. Before we knew it, we were onto something very large and charge! After a almost 30-minute tussle with the fish, Roland, Jim, and JR won their fight with a VERY large roughtail stingray. An amazing catch, which was shortly followed by a 3.5-4ft shark that JR made short work of on the conventional setup. Awesome group of guys, awesome trip!

Today we host the Schreiner family again! This awesome bunch and I became like a family on our first trip together last season, and having them back was such a blessing. That being said, a severe cold front has moved into our area, water temperatures have significantly dropped, and the fish hereby have been bite shy. We missed several fish, but still made it happen towards the end of our trip.

Our team was faced with 20-30mph gusts, but that didn't stop us! Megan & Phil were understanding of the circumstances, and yet we still succeeded. The moment baits were dropped we encountered several sharks, ranging in all sizes. To top it off, Megan hooked a large-and-in-charge shark at the end of the evening which had been wrapped around in netting. We quickly removed the netting and helped her swim off strong making sure the entire time she was submerged in water. Awesome trip at the beginning of the season!

The 2022 season has been awaiting us with open arms and has finally arrived! First-mate Jeffy and I set out to do some pre-fishing as the ocean temperatures had climbed past 62 degrees. What awaited us at the Delaware beaches was an incredible evening of coming in close contact with some absolutely beautiful sharks and one stingray which sadly (became unhooked). The fish are here and ready to meet you.
