Fishing (not surf) in delaware

Up until recently the license had to be displayed. However the DNRC officer at at Lums informed me this is no longer the case. Said it just needs to be nearby. I keep mine in my wallet.
My dad used to take us to Lums as a kid and anchor up just outside of the dog training area. We would catch sunfish and bluegills all day long with night crawlers and a bobber. If u go one DNRC web page, you can down load the delaware ponds booklet. It shows what species are where, depths, features and man made fish attractors for any pond that is maintained by the state. Killens has a few brush piles right along the shore line. The spillway at becks is full of panfish also.

Yeah he's right I was on the pier in lewes and the wardens checked up about every hour or so.... silver lake is also a sweet spot. Right by the boat ramp and by the spill way there. But your looking for a good father and son outting you chose the right one. After almost 25 years my father and I still talk about our fishing trips. More then anything else.

You can't swim there if that's what you mean. I would worry too much otherwise. There are several spots to fish from the shore too. Lums has plenty of decent sized fish, they are just over pressured and very finicky. Nightcrawlers + shiners you will catch some.
