All 17,000 standard surf fishing permits for Delaware state park beaches have been issued for 2022, according to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
Those beaches are popular with many Pennsylvania surf anglers.
While no more of the standard surf fishing permits, which allow fishing anytime, will be sold until the 2023 season, off-peak permits introduced by DNREC last year remain available and allow fishing all days except summer weekends and holidays.
There is no cap on the number of off-peak surf fishing permits, which were piloted in 2021, to be issued.
In 2019, the Delaware Parks and Recreation Advisory Council established a 17,000 cap on standard surf fishing permit sales.
The DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation added a first-come, first-served cap on the number of permits issued as the most equitable way to serve all beach users, and to manage a limited resource, while also protecting against overcrowding of parks beaches.
Off-peak surf fishing permits may be used seven days a week during the off season, which runs from February 1 to May 29 and again from September 6 through December. 31.
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, off-peak permits may only be used Mondays through Fridays; Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day are excluded.
The off-peak permit also allows entry into all Delaware State Parks without paying the daily entrance fee.
The off-peak permit fee for Delaware residents is $70, while the fee for out-of-state residents is $140. Delaware residents age 62 and older will receive a discounted rate of $60.
More information about off-peak surf fishing permits is available at the Delaware State Parks website. More information about surf fishing in Delaware is available at the state’s surf fishing webpages.
