Weakfish
Weakfish, also known as 'sea trout,' offer a fantastic light-tackle opportunity near Sodus Point. While not as abundant as in more southern waters, Sodus Bay and the surrounding areas of Lake Ontario do hold a population of these beautiful fish. Focus your efforts in the warmer months, from late spring through summer, when weakfish move into the bay to feed on baitfish. Look for areas with grassy bottoms and tidal currents, where weakfish like to ambush their prey. A local tip is to try fishing around dawn or dusk, as these are prime feeding times. Soft plastics and small jigs, presented with a slow, deliberate retrieve, are often effective. Remember that weakfish have delicate mouths, so use light wire hooks and avoid setting the hook too hard. Respect the resource, as weakfish populations can fluctuate, and consider practicing catch and release.
