WGMD Fishing Report 7-21-21
Big changes are on the way for cobia and tilefish regulations. The proposed rules will have a three-fish per person bag limit for blueline tiles on private boats, a five fish limit on uninspected charter boats and a seven fish limit on inspected boats. There will be a closed season from November 1 until April 30. Golden tilefish will have an eight-fish per person bag limit and no closed season.
There will be two options for cobia. Option one will have a 37-inch minimum size, one fish per boat limit and no closed season. Option two has a 40-inch minimum size, one cobia per boat over 50 inches and a two fish per boat limit. An open season season from June 15 to September 15.
The final option will depend on public comment. You can make your comment at DNRECHearingComments@delaware.gov. The comment period will end on August 6.
