Delaware recreational anglers will now follow identical black sea bass fishing rules regardless of whether they cast their lines in state or federal waters, thanks to recent regulatory changes.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control updated its recreational fishing guidelines for black sea bass due to growing populations of the fish species, providing more opportunities for local anglers.
Following federal regulatory changes implemented this week, Delaware fishermen will operate under unified rules starting May 1, eliminating the previous distinction between state and federal water regulations for black sea bass fishing.
