    They get stuck because they usual don't air down. Don't want to spend the time waiting for the compressor, I guess.

    Gone- 2012 JK Rubicon with stuff. Long gone- Long-arm 2001 Cherokee with stuff.

    What kills me is they never want to accept a quick yank with the tow strap. They'd rather sit there and shovel themselves out. I guess maybe they're worried if my vehicle gets damaged, I might seek reimbursement.

    I called and got info for this this for the April 4 class. I bought an 02 Wrangler, my first Jeep, and live 2 miles from Cape Henlopen. Can't hurt to get some instruction. Thanks for posting.

    Not sure if you know, but just to give you a heads up, you can' just drive on the beaches to drive around. You can only drive on the beach to surf fish.

    Yes I know, thanks. I have all of the required safety equipment plus surf rod, bait, etc. I am not a fisherman but I do know you must be actively fishing or get fined. I always show respect to the serious surf fisherman and park away from them. For the class I just need safety equipment not a surf rod since this is instructional.

    We went to both classes last weekend. They are very basic and very handsoff. The driving class was two hours of rules tips and advice (biggest point repeated air down) but driving was 1 loop on the beach (2mins). The nice thing about the class is that you get the rules first hand from the guest speaker, a state ranger. The class wasn't what I expected but hats off to DNREC for having it.


    I also did the surf fishing class, mostly lecture, fish id, rules, limits etc. We did get to fish for half an hour, caught 4 skates (big surprise there, right?) Again, these programs are nice and definitely informative, but don't expect tons of hands on.


    Oh, by the way, you need a valid surf tag to drive the two minutes on the beach, the state did however give an exemption for the actively fishing part for this class. Also you need your FIN for the surf fishing class but not the fishing lisc. another state exemption for the class.

    To DNREC, thanks for the classes, keep up the good work, but consider possibly more hands on content.


    Just my two bits
