Weakfish
New Haven's Long Island Sound waters can be surprisingly productive for weakfish, offering anglers a chance to target these delicate fighters. The best time to target weakfish here is during their spring and fall migrations, typically May-June and September-October. They tend to follow schools of baitfish, so keep an eye out for surface activity or diving birds. Focus your efforts around structures like the breakwaters near the harbor entrance, or the tidal creeks and flats of the Quinnipiac River. Weakfish are notoriously line-shy, so use light tackle and fluorocarbon leaders. A local tip is to fish during low-light conditions, such as dawn or dusk, as this is when weakfish are most active. Be aware that weakfish populations can fluctuate, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information. Access can be found at several marinas around New Haven harbor but be sure to check parking fees and availability.
