Charter Fishing in Delaware

If you ever get the chance to go saltwater charter fishing in Delaware we recommend that you jump at the chance. Although the winters can be quite chilly with not much action, the summers can offer some spectacular fishing. Especially fishing Delaware Bay. A Delaware fishing charter or guide will take you to spots with names like the "Eights" or "Overfalls Shoal" and the "Valley" where you can expect to catch trophy striper. Of course you have to make sure the season is right for striper so call ahead to the fishing guide for that information.

During the summer months you don't really have to worry about what's biting because this is prime time fishing for the Delaware Bay. Along with the striper the early summer can mean blackfish, also called tautog which is a cold water bottom fish that makes a tasty dish. Usually tog will be caught fishing a wreck or rockpile or some place where the bottom is rough. As the warmer months approach expect the tog bite to slow and the traditional summer time species bite to increase with species like trout, flounder, and blues moving into the bay.
