Striped Bass
Chasing striped bass around Fenwick Island, Delaware? This coastal gem offers a unique blend of inshore and nearshore opportunities. The Assawoman Bay provides a brackish water haven, while the Atlantic Ocean offers the chance to target larger, migratory stripers. Spring and fall are peak seasons as stripers move up and down the coast. Focus on areas where the bay meets the ocean, like the Indian River Inlet, or fish along the beaches and nearshore reefs. A valuable tip is to pay attention to water temperature fluctuations, as stripers tend to be more active when the water is in the 55-65°F range. Look for areas with structure, such as bridge pilings or rock jetties, as these often hold fish. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and bait, but natural presentations like clam or bunker chunks are always a good starting point. Remember to check the Delaware fishing regulations for size and bag limits before you head out.
