Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Chasing Weakfish near Lewes, Delaware, offers a unique angling experience, especially considering their declining populations elsewhere. The Delaware Bay, with its mix of saltwater and brackish environments, serves as an important nursery and feeding ground for these delicate fighters. Spring and early summer are typically the best times to target weakfish as they move into the bay to spawn. Focus your efforts around structure like jetties, pilings, and creek mouths. Light tackle is essential, as weakfish have soft mouths. Small jigs tipped with soft plastics or live shrimp are effective presentations. A local tip: try drifting these baits with the current along the edges of the shipping channel. Weakfish are sensitive to water temperature and salinity, so pay attention to these factors and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly. Look for areas with slightly warmer water and moderate salinity for the best chances of success.
