Weakfish
Chasing Weakfish near Diamond Point, NY, is a bit of a logistical challenge, as these are primarily saltwater species. Lake George itself doesn't hold Weakfish. Anglers interested in targeting them will need to travel to coastal areas of New York, such as Long Island Sound or the coastal bays. Weakfish are known for their delicate mouths, so using lighter tackle and avoiding harsh hooksets is crucial. The best time to target Weakfish is typically during the spring and early summer, when they migrate into shallower waters to spawn. Look for areas with sandy or muddy bottoms and submerged vegetation. A local tip: Many anglers find success using small jigs or soft plastics that imitate sand eels or other small baitfish. Consider hiring a local guide familiar with the coastal waters for the best chance of success.
