I'm a Marshfield boy who is stuck down here in Delaware for a few years but hoping to do some fishing when I home in a couple weeks. It has been a while since I fished from shore, though, and my digging around on the internet brought me to this site. What a great find!
Anyway, I could try casting off the jetti outside Green Harbor Yacht Club like I used to but we do have a simple 16' boat with an outboard and we were looking at the North and South River. I fished them from shore quite a few times before but only cruised them on the boat once.
As I recall, my best bet is to fish them between the mouth and a decent way inland but not too far. Fish usually showing up a few hours before and a few hours after high tide? Best to use chunked mackerel on the bottom or live eels (which I always hated to get on the hook)?
Does this sound about right?
Any suggestions on how early the fish come into the rivers, how late they stick around, and how/what to fish are greatly appreciated. As I said, I tried a few times before I headed south to Delaware but maybe I shouldn't rely on those old tricks since I never had much luck.
Thanks! I'll stick around and hopefull I can bring something to the group!
