Black Sea Bass
If you're after Black Sea Bass near Fenwick Island, Delaware, you'll want to focus on the offshore wrecks and reefs. These structure-loving fish congregate around these areas, providing excellent fishing opportunities. The peak season is generally from late spring through fall. Bottom fishing with rigs baited with clams, squid, or crabs is the most common and effective method. A key local tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure and mark the areas where you're getting bites. Be prepared for a strong current, and use enough weight to keep your bait on the bottom. Remember to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before you go, as they can change frequently. Some artificial reefs have restricted access, so be sure to consult local charts and regulations.
