Weakfish
If you're looking to target weakfish in Connecticut, Norwalk offers some excellent opportunities. These fish are sensitive to water temperature and clarity, so success hinges on finding the right conditions. Focus your efforts in the Norwalk River and the western Long Island Sound, especially around the islands and tidal creeks. The best time is typically late spring through early fall when the water warms up and baitfish are plentiful. Look for areas with structure like submerged rocks or eelgrass beds. A key tip is to pay attention to the forage. Weakfish are opportunistic feeders, so matching your lure or bait to what they're eating is crucial. Sandworms, small crabs, and silversides are good choices. Fish the outgoing tide near creek mouths for best results, as this is when baitfish are flushed out.
