Delaware Border Day Trips · Ocean City, Maryland

Do I need a Delaware fishing license for surf fishing day trips?

Answer

Maryland licenses do not cover Delaware surf once you cast north of the state line—Delaware DNREC sells non-resident licenses online and at retailers. Species seasons and size limits differ. Fenwick Island State Park and Indian River Inlet have their own access cultures—verify before you drive rods north.
