June/July 2017 Delaware Fishing Report

June/July 2017 Delaware Fishing Report

Saltwater: 

Ocean fishing has been great so far this summer with reports of tuna, mahi and sea bass out deep.  Anglers fishing in the surf have been able to connect with big bluefish throughout June, as well as a mix of kings, rays, sharks, and the occasional rockfish.

Freshwater:

Summer freshwater fishing is in full swing. Panfish, perch, pickerel, catfish and BIG BASS can be caught in freshwater ponds and rivers across the state.  Even White Clay Creek anglers might connect with holdover trout and smallmouth bass near dams and deep coldwater holes.  Better trout fishing can be had in the not so distant mountains of Pennsylvania and western Maryland.  Fly fishing is a fun option and it can be even more rewarding to tie your own flies using a fly tying system such as this one HERE

Safety Note:

One important thing I'll admit to neglecting in past fishing outings is sunblock.  Anglers on the water are doubly exposed to the sun's harmful UV rays and so it is ever important to remember to put a tube of sunblock in your tackle  box at the beginning of fishing season. Just be sure to keep it in a ziplock bag to avoid spilling it all over your fishing lures.
