Question 1

Where would I find Delaware Bay?

Accepted Answer

It is a Sussex County water, Delaware side, sitting low ground above sea level. For supplies, Lewes is 9.1 miles and West Cape May 12 miles.

Question 2

What species has anyone recorded at Delaware Bay?

Accepted Answer

Sussex County records list American eel, white perch, bluegill, pumpkinseed and tessellated darter among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish.

Question 3

How deep does Delaware Bay get?

Accepted Answer

We have no chart or survey to quote from. As a rule on water like this, the deepest hole holds fish in extreme weather. Wind direction matters as much as wind strength.

Question 4

What happens to Delaware Bay in winter?

Accepted Answer

Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water.

Question 5

Is Delaware Bay trailerable?

Accepted Answer

No slipway is mapped within reach, so assume bank fishing only. Boat rules and bank rules are not always the same here. Access can change hands, so check before a long drive.

Question 6

What is the access like at Delaware Bay?

Accepted Answer

We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Posted signs at the access point override anything written here. The nearest is not always the easiest to reach.
