The Delaware Seashore beaches are very popular for surf fishing. Fishing along the banks of the Indian River Inlet is a great place for anglers. There are flounder, bluefish, perch and sea trout to be found on the Delaware Seashore. Clamming is an excellent activity in the shallow bay waters. When fishing in the park, there is a $5 dollar per day, per car fee in season. During the off season the park is free. Vehicles must have a special permit to drive the three dune crossings for fishing access. The best time to fish in Delaware is from July to November using both flies and light tackle.
      Indian River Inlet is part of the Delaware State Park which is located approximately 15 miles north of Ocean City. The best bait for Tautog is sand fleas or green crab. When fishing for bluefish, trout, and strippers try using buck tails with plastic worms. If you want to try fishing at night, try tossing live eels into the inlet for strippers. The waters of the inlet are very swift, so use a medium to heavy rod and at least 10 to 20 pound test line.

South of the Indian River Inlet is a great public fishing site called 3 R’s. It is also part of the Delaware State Park. You can surf fish all day with a mullet rig for a variety of fish such as bluefish, flounder, and strippers. There is a natural drop off that makes it great for surf fishing which is not affected by beach replenishment. If you want to try your hand at catching a king fish, use blood worms on your hook.
