“Area” number refers to the numbered yellow or brown boxes on the Fishing Area map.

Access areas are closed from sunset to sunrise unless you are fishing.

Note – All motor boats launched from tidal access areas administered by the Division of Fish and Wildlife must be registered in Delaware or have a valid ramp certificate. Ramp certificates cost $35 and are available from the Division of Fish and Wildlife or authorized agents.

* A daily or seasonal fee may be required at areas administered by the Division of Parks and Recreation.

Recreational GilL Nets

Gear and seasonal restrictions apply to recreational gill nets and anyone obtaining a permit will be informed of these restrictions. In addition, during 2017, all recreational gill nets must be removed from the Delaware Bay and Ocean on the following dates: May 1-7; May 12-14; May 19-21; May 26-28; June 2-4; June 9-11; June 16-18; June 22–30 in order to reduce weakfish mortality rates as required by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Weakfish Management Plan. Each closure period begins at 12:01 a.m. on the first day and ends at midnight on the last day. No striped bass caught in recreational gill nets may be retained at any time.
