So I will be going to Rehoboth beach for a long weekend this month. I will be staying near the boardwalk. I have never been there before so is there anything that I should not miss while im there. I know about Dogfish Head brewery and will definitely be hitting that up. Any restaurant or bar suggestions? Also anyone know of some good surf fishing, pier fishing, or crabbing spots? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

There are a lot of bass and enormous carp (if you are into that) in Silver Lake. Very easy fishing for kids. They even have piers that go out onto the lake with gazebos at the end to fish from. Just drive by and see what you think.

 

The Dairy Queen is owned by friends of mine so stop by.

 

Lots of homos. It's the first place I ever saw two guys making out when I was a kid and I almost puked and possibly almost fainted. No offense to gays, it's a natural reaction. I was born that way, nobody would choose to be like me. I've gotten over it.

 

Nice boardwalk for kids. Rehobeth runs into Dewey of course.

 

I've never liked beach fishing so I don't remember much about the piers and such. Haven't been there in over 4 years. I know there is good beach casting there are huge schools of blues, etc. But you know how that goes, feast or famine. I fish for action and don't want to get nothing for a couple days and then start pulling blues out of the water by the truckfull for an hour.

 

I'm sure you are aware of their gun laws, which are pretty good, especially if you don't actually live there

 

handgunlaw.us

Thanks, yeah I have the handgunlaws.us printed out already as well as all the fish size limits. I know about the gays, my brother and his boy friend are going down there with us LOL. They aren't flames so it does not bother me. I'll probably just do some early morning surf casting, I'm just looming for something to tug on the line. The wife is all excited about crabbing so I guess I'll get a 12 pack and rig up a few hand lines and see how we can do. Worst case scenario I'll catch a buzz at least.

I have no problem with gays. Since I was bringing up the local gay population it made sense to share that this was my first experience with big fat hairy guys mugging on each other. I see no reason to leave it out.

 

No gays in my family but several in our very close extended family.

 

Here's another story. I had a gay neighbor that would get drunk and spend Sunday nights crying on my shoulder because he was a Catholic and was going to hell. I'm a Christian, and never bothered to look into any of this stuff because I have my own problems, but that's a tough f^$%ing job. Having a guy cry on your shoulder in the middle of the night because he says he is going to hell.

 

He ran into tough times and was going to be evicted, and didn't have anybody that would really help him or let him stay with them. I said I would help but he said he was working on some stuff and could probably take care of it. He called me shortly thereafter and said he was screwed because he was going to be kicked out. He needed $550 for rent (yes rent was cheap). I said I needed to know what his plans were because I was not going to give him money to postpone the inevitable by one month. He explained to the situation to me and it was clear he finally did develop work but it wasn't in time. He might have even shown me signed proposals or something. Regardless, I was convinced. I gave him $650 and told him to fill his work truck and order a pizza (he liked pizza). He promised to pay me back and I said No. He had enough problems and I wasn't going to give him a new one. I would never accept money back. It actually worked. He got back on his feet and started doing pretty well.

Other than Dogfish, I don't remember anything remarkable in terms of restaurants and bars.  It's a touristy beach town so things tend to be overpriced and underwhelming.  Seasons Pizza is a thing, but I don't get it.

 

A lot of people fill up their growlers at Dogfish, so bring one if you have one.  Also, their brewery tours are popular so book sooner than later.

 

Also, be careful with open containers on the beach.  They have undercover cops walking around ready to pounce.  They're the guys walking around the beach with camelbacks.  Don't ask me how I know...

Thanks WTF, my hotel is right on the beach so I plan on pounding beers back there whenever I get thirsty but realistically if I plan on doing some early morning fishing (4-7am) I probably wont be drinking all day at the beach, ill fall asleep. Ugh im getting older and I cant hang like I used to any more. Thanks for the heads up though. If I feel the need ill pack a water bottle full of moonshine. that will do the trick 

Used to go clamming in the bay north of Indian River inlet, always a good harvest and then a little feast that night.  Don't know the rules now however, have fun!

My wife's family has a place outside Bethany. I love going to Dogfish in Rehobeth. I know there are other restaurants and bars but I can't name them. We have rented bikes in town and rode up to Gordon pond or cut through Wolfe glade over to Lewes.

 

Anyone take the ferry down that way? I'm tempted to try that once instead of drive. Last time we drove it took 5 hours from exit 4 on the NJTP.

I am taking the ferry. I'll let you know how it is.

Pig and the fish is a pretty good place to eat. It's up a block or two from the beach.

Love that area. Definitely Dogfish as much as possible. If you drive you would hit Cabelas soon as you get into Delaware. I drive from exit 11 on the turnpike and takes 3 hours. Lots of things to do right off the beach. Go carts mini golf lots of restaurants. Take a trip to Milton for the Dogfish brewery tour. Worth the 20 min drive from the beach.

If you are looking for another place to eat get back on highway and head south into Ocean City MD and hit Philips Seafood. It’s only about half hour or so from Rehoboth. If you do go just watch your speeds going thru the little towns like Bethany and Fenwick where the posted speeds drops down to 35mph.

I still can't figure out what DL stands for.

Oh, okay. Like NR is New JeRsey and PL is PennsyLvania

Ferry is a great way to go. It's roughly a 90 minute ride. In the summer the ferry can get very busy and can get sold out; buy your tickets ahead of time.

PK90- yup im dumb its DE not DL. Thanks for the smart assed heads up. Can you figure out what FU stands for?

I think it used to be DL before that change back in the 90s or whatever. I still get confused. Old dogs and new tricks and all that

I had assumed it was to get the "down low" on Rehoboth. Silly me.

The ferry ride is pretty cool we usually see dolphins jumping in front of us as we cross the Delaware bay from Cape May. I've been to Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany multiple times as a kid. My old man is planning to retire there in a couple years. There's not much action as far as nite life goes, but all of the beaches are beautiful. And there's good fishing to be had at most. Be sure you air down your tire pressure on the wrangler a bit if your going to drive on the sand to fish. I believe there's a couple beaches in that area you can drive on. The last couple years we've been pretty much going right by all the Delaware beaches for OC Maryland. If you decide to do OC for the day, leave your gun in DE. And don't drive through OC without your doors. We all got our balls busted during jeep week for no doors. Half doors are ok. It's about a 20 min ride to OC MD. The boardwalk there is pretty nice, really clean not like the scumbag boardwalks we have in Jersey.

 

I already knew about Maryland being anti gun but the no doors thing is a problem . Ill just stay in Delaware.

Fixed the topic for you

Did they break your balls because you had no mirrors or simply because the doors were off?

 

I've had NJ cops stop me if the doors were off and there were no mirrors.

My mirrors are windshield bracket mounted. They were on. OC hates no doors, even though I have a full family cage and 5 point harnesses. Like my cloth soft half doors actually do anything for your safety inside the vehicle. It makes zero sense.

I am taking the ferry.

That's not a nice way to refer to your brother...

 

Hahaha now that's funny.
