Me and a buddy are going to cape Henlopen in Delaware in about 2 weeks was wonder if anyone had any advice or fishing reports? Also what were you using love or artificial bait and what test ln did you have and how far did you go out. Also are they any structures to work or is it just open ocean

Also what were you using love or artificial bait

We used love; while putting live bait on hooks.

ok, now that we got all the joking out of the way....

There are basically three significant pieces of structure off of cape henlopen"
Fishing pier - you can jig gulp or soak minnows around here for flounder.
Inner and Outer break walls - These rock walls are in place to break up waves for the cape may-lewes ferry and they are a fantastic fish habitat. It seems the bite has been slow this summer, but normally, around this time of the year you will find tautog, triggerfish, and some sheepshead. Soaking sandfleas or shrimp on a bottom rig work best for these fish. You can also jig gulp around the wall for flounder.

That's good advice. I would have tried to post something worth while, but I've only been there one time and struggled to catch flounder around the pier. We used hi/lo rigs with minnows for flounder; caught more little skate and dogfish than flatfish. Ended up resorting to bloodworms and fishbites to put croaker on the stringer. Only a few flounder made it to the cooler.
