FISHING REPORT
FROM
KATHY BAKER at BILL'S SPORT SHOP
DELAWARE REEF SITES
We have had many inquiries on the locations of the 11 artificial reef sites that have been set by the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, in particular is the sight that the State of New York has been dumping the "Red Bird" rail cars. Several hundred rail cars have been dumped since last year with many more to come but the division has not listed the exact GPS numbers yet. These cars are being dumped at site #11 which is 16 miles out from the Indian river Inlet. Excellent fishing can be found there with an abundance of Sea Bass, Tau Tog, Blue Fish, Flounder and assorted species of shark.
