Any weakfish reports?

[jigfreak]

I have been jigging for them at night for 3 weeks now, choice spots. Not a touch. Any one know of any at all in the NJ or NY area?

This guy got one in the FI area from a boat yesterday, so they may be around in small numbers. He was using gulp white mullet 3".

This report was posted on another site on june 5. I have been asking some of the old guys where I fish if they saw any, but so far there have been no catches I heard of.



"Report:
caught a 33 in. stripper, a 20 in. fluke, a 24 in. weaky and a 37 pound drum, all on fresh bunkers. i had a god time but damn i miss the fight in the blues, cant seem to find them "

I'm not much into weakfish but ran into a buddy of mine yesterday who said he went out for them. Got all skunked out.

The only one I heard of is some captain got one near the Highlands bridge about 4 weeks ago.

I think all the big weakfish have been caught and exported to south america.

1 summer weakfish reported caught!

A guy was fishing the Delaware Bay and reported this

"Fished with the fleet, maybe three drifts one tb. Moved to one three more tb's and a nice 16 inch weakfish:thumbsup:."

Good news. Heard of a few in the Brigantine area, but they were 2nd hand reports.

A guy posted this on another site. Looks like a decent one, maybe over 10#. I'm not sure if he got it from a boat or surf fishing. Still, it's a beautiful fish.:clapping:

A few associates are getting some spikes in the back bays of S Jersey in the late afternoons into dusk. There is no consistency, hit or miss.

Here is an interesting read from the DEP/NJDFW pubs.btw good to see there are some weakfish around I was beginning to think they were extinct.

A guy got one july 5 at Fort Tilden -

3:45am incoming tide, not much in the way of surf. I worked a chicken scratch bomber and green teaser. To my surprise on the third jetty I nailed a weakfish on the teaser. About 14 inches.

Someone caught one in Avalon, reported on another site.

I caught this guy fishing in Av on the incoming tide. I caught him on green curly tail grub. The weakie was 17" and tasted real good.

A few friends have caught some in Delaware bay, up to 20".

A guy got these in Peconic bay yesterday. :drool:

Some buddies are getting them, here and there, by chumming grass shrimp at night in Barnegat Bay.

[DarkSkies]

I was fishing for them last night in some of the usual RB places with artificials. I got blanked.

A friend nailed a few today with some decent porgies. 19 1/2", wtg. :thumbsup: Sandworms were the ticket. We should be hearing reports on the NJ Raritan side any day now.

I can confirm the BB catches on grass shrimp as well. Not too many, a few small spikes.

[stormchaser]

Some guys are getting them here in the gsb with fin-s, or sandworm rigs.

They might be early this year. Friends got a few in lower BB near structure in the last week. And this report for RB was just posted by Al fishstory.

"Capt. Sal Cursi of Cathey Sea from Sewaren was out fluking last week in the back of the bay when a couple of spikes were hooked in the Reach, and he said his mate later caught a bigger weakfish. Capt. Stan Zagleski of Elaine B. from Highlands also had a report of a couple of weaks on Friday while catching fluke in the Reach."

[stormchaser]

A guy I work with got one on Fri while fishing GSB for fluke. He said it was small around 12", put it back.

Great going, we hardly ever see any weakfish in Ct.
