FISH SPECIES OVERVIEW
Most fisherman become active with the warming days of March when huge schools of migrating Atlantic Mackerel can be found within several miles of the Delaware coast. With the season then under way, there follows a succession of virtually every species sought along the mid-Atlantic coast. Some of the migratory fishes are only available for a few weeks to a month or two at a time (Atlantic mackerel, black drum, tunas, swordfish, white marlin, dolphin, mako shark and wahoo), but there is also a large population of 'resident' weak fish (sea trout), bluefish, flounder, tautog, croakers, sea bass, and striped bass, as well as some of the less sought after species that are available through out most of the spring, summer and fall months. Some species are available even in the dead of winter.

ANGLER FACILITIES AND SERVICES

Facilities and services for the angler are first-rate by any standard. A modern charter fleet and several 'head-boats' operate out of Lewes, offering full-day, half-day, night fishing and specialty trips. Small rental boats are also available for fishing and crabbing.

The surf fisherman has access to beautiful Cape Henlopen State Park, where the bay meets the ocean. (Certain regulations and permits apply to 4-wheel drive vehicles.) Roosevelt Inlet at the end of Cedar Street is another popular fishing area.
