Weakfish
If you're looking to tangle with weakfish in Connecticut waters, Groton offers a strategic jumping-off point. These fish are sensitive to changes, so success hinges on understanding local forage and water conditions around the Thames River estuary and Fishers Island Sound. Weakfish typically arrive with warming waters in late spring and early summer, then depart as temperatures drop in the fall. Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, when they move into shallower waters to feed. Natural presentations are key – think small jigs tipped with sandworms or soft plastics mimicking silversides. Don't be afraid to adjust your depth based on temperature and current; weakfish often suspend in the water column. For access, consider launching from the Poquonnock River boat launch for easy access to Fishers Island Sound. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as weakfish populations can fluctuate.
