Fishing Noah Pond in Sussex County, Delaware

• Overview

  Look for Noah Pond in Sussex County, Delaware. The coast is 3 miles away. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. Most waters listed here for Sussex County are larger. Some 3.7 miles away sits Milton, the nearest settlement. Philadelphia sits 78 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Noah Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Noah Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 76°F, with January the cold end at about 35°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On Noah Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Goose Pond at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. For Noah Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
