USWW Delmarva FishCast — Surf and inlet stripers hold steady while Delaware Bay shoreline, flathead catfish, and freshwater bass/crappie all produce as conditions improve.Tuesday mid-week

## Overview This is the Tuesday mid-week Delmarva FishCast for 2026-06-09. The Friday main report usually carries the broader picture, while this update leans more heavily on DE DNREC, NOAA NDBC, NOAA CO-OPS, USGS NWIS, and ASMFC because MD DNR was unavailable this cycle. Water temperatures range from 60.6°F offshore to 66.7°F at Cape May, and the warm nearshore pocket lines up with better surf and inlet reports after the weather settled.

Overview As of 2026-06-07, this Friday-main FishCast is built from Delaware DNREC, NOAA, and USGS reports, with MD DNR unavailable this cycle. The best read this week is a mixed but useful one: the surf and inlet bite improved when the weather improved, Delaware Bay shore points held fish, and a few freshwater systems continued to produce bass and crappie. For anglers planning a short trip, the tide windows and water-temperature spread matter more than chasing one hot spot.
