On Delivery Sportfishing is a year-round charter business located in Lewes that provides a first-class experience to both the tournament and first-time anglers. Capt. Mike has 20 years of experience fishing out of Indian River Inlet, Delaware.

Capt. Mike will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing, which involves 4-hour to 1-day trips. You will target everything from Tautog (Blackfish) in the winter, Striper in the fall and spring, and Tuna, Marlin, and Shark in the summer. You can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 46’ Ocean sportfishing boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, AC, and an ice box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew can clean and fillet your catch for a fee which depends on the size of your catch.

Join On Delivery Sportfishing for a fun day on the ocean!
