Using traps and handlines in Delaware

[Danro07731]

Hi all!! I would like to take a few guys from work and their kids out crabbing using traps and hand lines?? Can any other point me in the direction of some good spots to go...either bridge or pier??? FYI we do not have a boat. I heard you can only use traps on rt. 42 bridge in Liepsic?? How about Little Creek?? Any other spots work too... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks all!!

I know they use traps on the bridge going into woodland beach. I have never used a handline but i think the bridge would be to tall unless you use a long dipnet  Good luck

up until this year i didnt have a boat and had to use handlines and traps from bridges. the rt 42 bridge near leipsic and the bridge in little creek will both work, just make sure all adults have a fishing license, its state law. good luck!!
