Default Re: Weakfishing This Summer?

Thanks for the reply Gerry. Yeah we used to pick up some sandworms and just kill the fish all day long. Even got some in the 10 pound range. The fish were all over the place. We always did best in August, so i'm going to try it this year. I actually saw a youtube video of some guys fishing RB in the exact spot i used to fish for weaks and they had a phenomenal day on the water - this video was posted last summer. 99% of the fish were pretty small (b/w 12-15 inches) but on a freshwater setup, they are a lot of fun to catch. It's good to hear that you got into a school of them last year. That does give me some hope. Honestly, i do think they are there (obviously not the same numbers as years ago), but nobody fishes for them so we really don't know how many there truly are. And the people who do catch some are probably very tight lipped about it - which is understandable. I'm going to spend a couple evenings targeting weakfish this august (i remember doing well for them around dusk), even if i only get one, it will be worth it. I really do love those fish, and i hope they can make a comeback sometime soon.
