Delaware’s Division of Fish & Wildlife recently launched a new website, Delaware Fish Facts for the Recreational Angler, to provide Delaware anglers with information on more than 180 species of fish and shellfish that reside in, frequent, or visit Delaware waters.
Fisheries Biologist Bruce Cole, who spearheaded the website efforts says that almost any fish an angler may catch in Delaware is included on the site.
The new site features:
- High quality illustrations and descriptions of fish
- Seasons, size limits and daily limits
- Ranges and abundance in Delaware waters
- Habitat and food preferences
- Common fishing lures and baits
- Minimum requirements for citations in the Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament
- Delaware State Records for species included in the Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament
“While still on the water, and with the aid of a smart phone, anglers can use the new responsive website to instantly help identify what kind of fish they caught and find out if it is in season, how big it needs to be, how many they can keep, and much more. Even non-anglers can enjoy the information, from the high quality artwork to the “Did You Know” fun fact sections,” said DNREC Division of Fish & Wildlife Director and avid angler David Saveikis.
