Kayak Fishing - Henlopen breakers..

Quote from deadfeat

I will be out Monday AM kayak fishing for anything.. probably paddle out to the Harbor of Refuge.

Make sure you get/have a license. Owning a surf tag won't cover that.

According to the folks at eastern marine and at the life saving museum the surf tag is the same as a license and covers both fresh and saltwater in the state of delaware. That's what they told me when i tried to purchase a license while buying my surf tag earlier this spring

Don't think so.

Read DNRECs rules on their website.

Yeah I'm not sure, I just called into the life-saving station where i purchased my surf tag and they said it did included in the price of the surf Tag a complimentary fishing license. I had bought my out of state fishing license at Eastern marine and then went down to the life-saving station to purchase my surf tag. they told me since I had already purchased a license at Eastern marine I would now have two fishing licenses. they told me that was a good thing if I ever had a visitor come fish with me they could say the surf tag license Is theirs and fish under it As long as they get a FIN number. when I questioned this at Eastern marine they had stated that with the purchase of an out of state surf tag a complimentary fishing license is included which covers both fresh and saltwater for the entire state of Delaware, I would need to carry my paper receipt from the purchase of the surf tag to prove I had a license to any Game official that might check me. I am just repeating what the license issuing agent had told me, but now i will look into it further since it has been questioned

good call keith, obviously the people at eastern marine and the life station are misinformed, i found the section that says resident and nonresident do not need an additional license while in posession of a surf tag and WHILE FISHING ON A DESIGNATED SURF FISHING BEACH ONLY...

Right. I couldn't post it from work.

This too:

If two people have a surf fishing permit/vehicle license for their vehicles, can the two people go in one vehicle to fish without a special fishing permit? Also, if they take friends along to surf fish, do the friends need a special permit? Only the operator of the vehicle that is permitted may fish without a license on the beach. Any other anglers will need to have a general $8.50 (resident) or $12.50 (tourist) or $20.00 (non-resident) license regardless of whether or not they have another vehicle permit. The exemption in the code is only for the vehicle operator who has the surf tag.
