Re: Weakfishing This Summer?
Weakfish, especially big ones, are mainly nocturnal.. Just like stripers are in the warm months..
Try going to the same spots you used to catch them in RB,, but go at dusk, and fish into the night.. Either that or go out at 2 am, and fish till maybe 7 am.. Years ago i used to catch them in Raritan Bay at night or at 5 am before the boat madness started...
keep this in mind.. Boating/fishing pressure has exploded in the past 20 years, and weaks are pretty skittish.. and I bet you'd see a lot more about them in the reports, if guys drifted at night or before and just after dawn with sandworms.. I have a feeling there are more weaks around than we think, but drifting in and out of 1000 other boats during mid day just won't do it these days... Try and catch them when its dark and quiet the way we used to catch them when there were millions of them around.... I'll bet you will do better than you think.... bob
