Fishing Rehoboth Beach

Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Indian River Inlet: surf, a breakwater harbor and one of the East Coast's best-known inlets for striped bass.

What's biting now (Fall): Striped bass run along the coast and Indian River Inlet; tautog around jetties.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, flounder, bluefish, tautog and kingfish.

Also caught here: tautog, black sea bass, croaker, kingfish.

Read the beach before you cast: look for darker troughs, rip currents and cuts in the sandbar where fish feed. Sand fleas and shrimp are reliable surf baits, and the first and last hours of daylight are usually best.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
