Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Weakfish, known for their delicate mouths and beautiful coloration, provide a unique fishing experience near Ocean View, Delaware. These fish frequent the Indian River Bay and the coastal waters, often found near grassy flats, channel edges, and sandy bottoms. The peak season for weakfish is typically from late spring through early summer, when they migrate into the bay to spawn. A productive method is to use light tackle with small jigs or soft plastic lures, mimicking the small baitfish they feed on. A helpful tip is to fish during periods of low light, such as dawn or dusk, as weakfish are more active during these times. Also, be gentle when setting the hook, as their mouths are easily torn. Weakfish in this area are generally smaller than those found further south, but they still offer a thrilling fight. The shallow waters of the Indian River Bay provide ample opportunities to target these elusive fish.
