Re: Weakfishing This Summer?
Bob,
I always did best for them at night. Like you said, they seem to be a skittish fish. The insane boat traffic during the day (especially on weekends) probably spooks them. I agree with you, I think there are a lot more weakfish than most people think. There's nobody targeting them. I'm going to give it a shot in august in the evening. I'll drift some sandworms from dusk til like 2am in the areas that were productive years ago.
I miss the weakfishing that we had. They're a hard fighting fish, easy to catch, and you can use really light tackle for them. I really do believe they are still there, but I just have to go out there and find out for myself later this summer. I know there are a lot of theories as to why we just stopped catching them, but hopefully they can make a comeback.
