Black Sea Bass

Black Sea Bass

Various

Ocean View, Delaware, offers excellent opportunities for black sea bass fishing, particularly in the deeper waters offshore. These structure-loving fish congregate around wrecks, reefs, and artificial habitats. The prime season is generally from spring through fall, with the most consistent action during the warmer months. A key to success is using a bottom fishing rig with multiple hooks baited with clams, squid, or artificial lures. Be prepared to adjust your weight based on the depth and current to keep your bait near the bottom. A valuable tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure and mark productive spots. Black sea bass in this region are known for their robust size and delicious flavor. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out. The Indian River Inlet is a popular departure point for accessing these offshore fishing grounds.
