Great thread gents. As you said it definitely brings back memories. I used to fish for them at dawn and dusk in low light hours on a sandy bank near a bridge by an inlet.

Last night I had a dream about weakfish! I dreamed I was down somewhere in the chesapeake bay and they came in mid spring like they used to. when I got there there was a guy fishing just with sandworms, tossing near the bridge. Every few minutes he would catch one. One time the pole was hit hard, and it was bent in half as he reeled it in. The weakfish was a beauty, around 10 lbs. A Dad and his kids watched along with me as he brought it in, and carefully released it. The kids asked him why, and he said so there would be enough for the future.
