Getting ready to go on vacation and wanted to see if anyone could point me in the direction of some bass ponds in the area.

 

BTW: yes, I know of Google maps and have used it. Looking for  a local to point me in the direction of a productive lake or pond.

It will depend on whether you are looking to bank fish or have a boat/kayak.

Just north of Rehoboth in Milton is Wagamon's pond, across from that is a fishing area on the broadkill river, as well as Milton's marina/boat ramp area around the corner. I often walk the bank by the marina in the evenings. 

South of Milton on RT 30 is Millsboro pond. There is not much bank fishing there, but the guys have been tearing it up back in the pads. 

North along 30 is Milford. There you will find a few different ponds/rivers that have bank access, Silver lake, Misspillion River, Blair's Pond, Haven Lake, Griffeth's pond. 

South from there on 113 there is Redden State Forest headquarters, and they have a small pond there that can be fun (even though it is really small)
