Ernie,

This is a great starting point!  Thanks for the info.  I have some time to be prepared but, as you know, I will be bringing 2 little girls who are gonna want to catch fish!  So I want to have the gear and the locations all ready.  I WILL be fishing everyday there!  It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't.

I've had some luck fishing the Indian River Inlet just north of Bethany.  You can access it from the main highway (connects Bethany and Rehoboth, probably R1).  Fish the tides, and there are some locals at a bait shop in Rehoboth (I forget the name) that can be helpful.

Awesome!  Good info.  I will check into it!

Indian river has lots of current/tide and requires some expertise at fishing an inlet in crowded conditions in my opinion . Cape Henlopen is a nice place with lots of beach and while the pier can be "rowdy" as piers often tend to be, bottom fished bloodworms squid or shrimp pieces will give up some fish for the kids on typical bottom fishing rigs with #4 hooks. Any outfit you use for bass or cat fishing would work here. Let the specialized serious guys have the big end of the pier and put your lines just outside the breakers close to the beach and you should catch something.Have fun.

Capt. Mike just told me that  you should fish the Indian River Inlet at dawn and dusk. Use big jigs and Manns Stingray Grub in white, green or red tails ( Iahev some if you need 'em). He also noted that red Head jigs work best and to move it fast as the rocks walls will eat them up (but not too fast).
