Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Weakfish, also known as 'tiderunners,' are a prized catch in the waters around Bridgeport, CT. These fish favor the brackish areas where rivers meet Long Island Sound, especially during their spring migration. Look for them in areas with eelgrass beds, tidal creeks, and near the mouths of rivers like the Housatonic. The best time to target Weakfish is typically from May to June, when they enter the Sound to spawn. Local anglers often have success using small jigs or soft plastics that mimic the small baitfish they feed on. A helpful tip is to fish during periods of low light, such as dawn and dusk, as Weakfish are more active then. Remember that Weakfish populations can fluctuate, so practicing catch and release is encouraged to help maintain a healthy fishery.
