Fishing Delaware's Artificial Reef System
Development of Delaware's 14 artificial reef sites began in 1995. Located in Delaware Bay and along the Atlantic Coast, the reefs are built of cleaned and stable construction materials, boats, and subway cars that provide a rich habitat for reef fish and gamefish, including tautog, seabass, bluefish, striped bass, and weakfish.
