Looking to go fishing in Lewes? Bottom Line Sportfishing is here to make it happen! With Captain Jon at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Black Drum, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Black Seabass, Albacore Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and whatever else takes the bait. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 40’ Luhrs offshore sport fishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 18-20 % tip. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Lewes for yourself, with Bottom Line Sportfishing!

Capt. Jon runs trips out of Lewes aboard a 40’ Luhrs. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi and Tuna and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
