Types of Delaware Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

Delaware off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips throughout the Atlantic coast.  Delaware off-shore fishing charters take out 1-6 people or more to troll for sailfish, live bait fish for tuna, fish shipwrecks, and much more.  Many Delaware deep sea charter boats operate out of Lewes, Indian River Bay, and smaller communities in and around Delaware Bay.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Delaware in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-4 anglers.  These Delaware fishing charters fish closer to the mainland and throughout Delaware Bay.  Delaware in-shore guides often drift fish for flounder, weakfish, striped bass, and bluefish.  Delaware fishing charters operate out of most of the communities along the coastline and Delaware Bay.

General Inland

Delaware freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats and on shore and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Maryland’s fresh water ponds, reservoirs, rivers, and tidal waters.  These fishing guides often target striped bass, largemouth, smallmouth, and panfish.  Popular locations include many of Delaware’s ponds and reservoirs as Delaware has no natural inland lakes.

Fly Fishing

Delaware fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience fishing with over 20 rivers and more than 400 smaller streams casting to wild and stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout.  Unique fly fishing opportunities are offered throughout the state for many species. Delaware fly fishing guides fish on most public ponds, reservoirs, rivers, and salt water hot spots.  Delaware fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.
