My home is located about the same distance from the Delaware Atlantic shoreline as it is the mouths of large Cheasapeake Bay tributaries. The Nanticoke River is about a half mile from my house. It's inland, but still fairly wide and deep. I usually fish the beaches of Delaware Seashore, Cape Henlopen, etc. But this fall and winter I wanted to try something a little different.

We were all stung by a jellyfish but it wasn't bad - our 2 year old didn't even cry, just got scared and wanted to...

Last time clinched it when we watched a large group of Mexicans throwing beer cans and used DIAPERS into the grasses. These people are disgusting and absolutely destroying...
