Fishing the inlet takes time to learn but it can be very rewarding. A permit is required to park in the lots at the inlet and can be obtained from the DSSP office on the North side of the inlet. The beach is probably the easiest place to fish. There are 7 access points in the Delaware Seashore State Park. A permit is required to drive on the beach and park in these parking lots.
Most people throw the bait out there as far as they can and completely miss the fish.
Fish feed right behind the breaking waves. This is where the bait fish congregate to feed on critters stirred up by the waves. You want your bait to be where the bait is. The most common rig is a two hook rig with floats to keep the bait just off the bottom. This keep the crabs from eating it.
