Weakfish
If you're looking to target Weakfish near Beach Lake, PA, head towards the Delaware Bay. While Beach Lake is a freshwater location, the Delaware Bay offers the brackish water habitat that Weakfish prefer. These fish are known for their delicate mouths, so use light tackle and avoid horsing them in. Look for Weakfish in areas with grassy flats, tidal creeks, and sandy bottoms. They are often found near structure, such as docks and pilings. The best time to fish for Weakfish is during the spring and fall migrations. They are often caught during dawn and dusk, when they are actively feeding. Small jigs tipped with soft plastics or live shrimp are effective baits. A local tip: pay attention to the tide, as Weakfish often feed more aggressively during moving water. The Weakfish population has fluctuated in recent years, so practice catch and release to help conserve this species.
