Talk of Delmarva Fishing Report 08/31/24
Friday was no better than Thursday and very few folks wet a line. No boats sailed from Lewes Harbour Marina or Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle reported blues did blitz the Indian River Inlet on Friday morning during incoming water. The usual white bucktails with a white worm or a sliver spoon did the trick with the blues. Nasty weather is usually good news for striper fishermen and so it was on Thursday night into Friday morning when they were caught out of the Inlet on live eels or drifted sand fleas. The beach was too rough to fish.

VIDEO: Wild Scene Unfolds At Golf Course As Driver Of Ford Bronco Smashes Into Golf Carts While Trying To Run Over Golfers
The driver of a Ford Bronco was apparently unhinged and took said vehicle off-road and onto the golf course this week. While golf is a non-contact sport, and there are hardly any injuries taking place on courses, things can get out of hand sometimes as players can get extra competitive and take things too far. We’ve seen a good few fights take place out on the green, but this latest incident put all of them in the shade.

SPORTS BUZZ: Glasgow football kicking off the season at home
As Dorothy said to Toto, “There’s no place like home.” Last season, Ricky Brown started his first campaign as Glasgow’s football head coach playing on the road, way downstate under the lights at Sussex Tech. It wasn’t a good result, and the following week wasn’t much better even though the Dragons only had to travel seven miles to face Red Lion Christian Academy under the lights in the Lions’ home opener. ...
Memory Lane: Sports history may just roll up your driveway
Roll deep - Elijah Shockley-Taylor, a junior on the Cape football team, sat in a white Toyota Sienna van at the top of my hairpin driveway of sports memories. Coach Jack Fred was giving him a ride home from practice. I came out of garage door No. 3 like a retired coach on “Let’s Make A Deal.” I asked, “Elijah, who are you to Thaddeus Shockey?” “He’s my pop-pop.” “No way,” I said. “Did he tell you about the time he sang at senior services and made the lunch ladies cry?” “Oh, you’re talking about my uncle Thaddeus.” And so we did the family tree thing. It was logical Stephan Shockely was also his uncle while his mother is Tabitha, or as I called her in high school “Tabby Cat.” Jack asked Elijah, “Do you know who Fredman is?” “Yes, he’s the guy who takes pictures.”

HARTLY, Del. — To suggest that business could be better at D&J Custom Cutting would be tempting fate. Since debuting its USDA-certified processing services in March, Dylan and Jenna Nickerson have watched as a growing stream of livestock producers from across the Delmarva region have eagerly tapped them to transform their freshly-slaughtered meat into value-added products such as jerky, hot dogs, sausage, snack sticks, salami and bologna.
