Is it just us, or does the end of summer always sneak up with a list of things you meant to do, but didn’t? If fishing was on that list, you’re in luck. Delaware offers a wide range of fishing opportunities, whether you prefer casting from the surf, relaxing by a quiet stream, or heading out on the open water with a charter crew.
At Insight Homes, we know that where you live can shape how you live—and around here, it’s easy to spend more time outside doing what you love. So grab your gear and let’s talk about some of the best ways to go fishing in Southern Delaware.
Surf Fishing
For those that love to surf fish, Delaware State Parks allow folks to bring vehicles onto designated areas for the sole purpose of fishing (don’t forget your surf fishing vehicle permit!). You can even cast from the piers, banks or shore line.
Charter Boat Fishing
For more excitement you can charter a boat from the many marinas located throughout Sussex County. From fishing the bays for trout and flounder to going after white marlin, shark, and tuna in the ocean, the Charter boat Captains are there to help make your experience fun!
Ponds, Rivers, and Streams…Oh my!
You want something more laid back? Delaware is loaded with ponds, rivers, and streams where you’ll find largemouth bass, catfish, and crappies among others.
So whether you’re a first time fisherman or experienced as they come, Delaware has much to offer anglers of all shapes and sizes!! In most cases a fishing license is required to fish in Delaware waters. See Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife for more information.
