Delaware Bay is a body of water bordered by Delaware and New Jersey. It’s waters on the northeastern seaboard of the United States mix for miles with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This area used to be inhabited by the Lenape Indians around the 17th century. Today, it is famous for its fishing.
      Some of the fish found in these waters include largemouth and striped bass, sunfish, weakfish, Croaker, sturgeon, along with horseshoe crab and oysters. When the water starts to get below 40 degrees, the fish become scarce and catching them is harder.
      Electro fishing is advised if you are fishing for the bass. Electro fishing is a method used from a boat, where you drop cathodes alongside the boat connected to negative current outlets. The anode hoops, or positive currents, hang on the booms in front. The controller steps on a pedal that causes current to flow into the water. Fish are attracted to the bow and the current stuns them. They roll over on the bellies, and that is how you can identify what kind of fish it is before catching it. They are then picked up by a net. Fish in the deep water are best caught by trawling. Fish caught this way are usually the croaker and the weakfish.
      Kayak fishing is also popular in the Delaware Bay area. Popular fish caught this way include, but are not limited to bass, panfish, strippers and flounders. The bait and lures most often used for this type of fishing is storm wild eyes and cut bunker.
