Delaware Bay is an ideal fishing phenomenon created as a result of the Delaware River and the Atlantic Ocean mixing. The estuary that results from this frolicking friendship leads to some wonderful fishing opportunities. The location of the Bay makes fishing possible from Delaware or New Jersey.
     There are many species of fish that can be caught in this area. Flounder and Sea Bass are plentiful and there are many Striper and Black Drum to be caught. There is also a Shark Tournament that takes place in this area. There are Weakfish and Bluefish that live here too.
      It is important when fishing in the Delaware Bay to know what the regulations are for the state that you are fishing from. Since Delaware Bay can be fished from more than one state, it is advisable to research the laws each season for each state that you fish from.
      It is well worth it to do the homework. There have been some very large fish caught in Delaware Bay. One fisherman caught a 66 pound Drum fish in Delaware Bay. Drum are usually caught in the spring between April and early June. A good bait to use is freshly shucked clams. Stripers can be caught in the spring or between October and January using fresh shucked clams and eels for bait. Sea Bass can be caught during almost any season depending on where you look. They like sheltered areas such as wreckage and reefs. Bluefish can be caught during the summer, but they do not wish to be caught and put up quite a fight. Delaware Bay is a great place if you love to fish.
