Fishing in Delaware Bay

Delaware Bay stands as a premier East Coast fishing destination, renowned for its abundant Black Drum and year-round Striped Bass action. From late spring to early summer, massive Black Drum gather near Coral Beds and Broadkill Beach, with specimens reaching up to 80 pounds. Striped Bass flood the bay year-round, peaking from August through October, where locals employ specialized techniques to hook these powerful fighters.

Nearshore and inshore waters teem with Flounder, Bluefish, Weakfish, and seasonal Tautog, while the bay’s structures like the Breakwater Wall and artificial reefs create perfect habitats for diverse catches. For big-game enthusiasts, offshore charters venture 25+ miles to the canyons, where Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna promise adrenaline-fueled battles—with Wahoo often exceeding 100 pounds.

With expert captains guiding you through lush estuaries, surf, and deep blue waters, Delaware Bay delivers unmatched variety. Summer is peak season, but spring through fall offers non-stop action across its ecosystems. Whether targeting trophy Drum, battling Stripers, or chasing open-ocean speedsters, every trip becomes a masterclass in East Coast angling.

Delaware Bay Fishing Seasons

January

With most boats out of the water for repairs due to the lack of fish, why not engage in Delaware Bay's wealth of cultural opportunities? The Rehoboth Beach Film Festival is just one of a number of events going on.

February

The fishing hasn't quite warmed up yet, so you still have time to fit in some dry land excursions before the season starts. Discover the rich history of the 'first state' in one of Lewes' numerous museums

March

The fishing gets underway and it's the bay that reigns supreme as the region's top fishing destination. Get out on the water and land your first catch of the year as you target Tautog, Flounder, and even Sharks.

April

Just before the hordes of tourists arrive, the fishing is good enough for a thrilling adventure into the bay with Bluefish, Weakfish, and Tautog hitting their peak season, along with plenty of other tasty fish.
 

May

Peak bay fishing season is upon us as the weather warms up and the fishing follows suit. Get out for a full day and fill the boat with anything from a Seabass to a Tautog, Rockfish to a Weakfish, and many more. 

June

With calmer weather comes the opportunity to go offshore in search of big game fish. Bluefin Tuna make their way along the East Coast, while Mahi Mahi begins to arrive, too. Get your fish on and show off your strength.
 

July

Whether you're looking for inshore, nearshore, or deep sea fishing, July has it all. Fish the bay for delicious Panfish, hit the reefs for bottom fishing action, while thrill-seekers can also target offshore beasts.
 

August

Blue and White Marlin join the offshore party as fishing the deep waters hits its peak. Meanwhile, the bay is overflowing with plenty of delicious creatures to target, such as Seabass, Flounder, and Weakfish.

September

The kids may be back in school but there's no reason to give up on the fishing. Amberjack and Mahi Mahi will provide a treat offshore, while the last of the Marlin, while Seabass, Trout, and Flounder are abundant in the bay. 

October

Bluefin Tuna makes a late return in October but the choppy waters mean that conditions may be a bit tricky. It'll be better to stay in the bay and fill the boat with some delicious bottom-dwelling creatures for a warming meal. 

November

The end of the season may be nigh, but it certainly doesn't feel like it! Tautog come back into the fold, joining Seabass, Flounder, Stripers, and some Sharks as the prime target in the rich waters of the Delaware Bay.
 

December

If the weather permits, and a brave captain is ready to take you out, then you'll have the pick of the fishing as the season is over. Rockfish and Seabass will make for a warming meal at the end of the day.
