Weakfish
Chasing Weakfish around Henderson Harbor presents a unique angling challenge, as this area marks the edge of their typical range. Focus your efforts in the warmer months, particularly late spring and summer, when these fish move into the shallower, brackish waters to feed. Look for them in areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, near creek mouths, and along the edges of weed beds where they ambush smaller baitfish. Light tackle is key for weakfish, as they have delicate mouths. Try using small jigs, soft plastics, or live shrimp under a popping cork. Because this isn't a traditional weakfish hotspot, keep moving and covering ground until you locate a school. Access to the water is readily available from the Henderson Harbor public docks and boat launch. Be mindful of recreational boat traffic, especially on weekends.
