Weakfish
Targeting weakfish near Port Matilda, PA, requires understanding their migratory patterns and preferred habitat. While not a major stronghold, weakfish can be found in the brackish estuaries and tidal creeks that feed into larger coastal systems. Spring and early summer, as water temperatures rise, are your best bet. Look for areas with sandy or muddy bottoms and eelgrass beds, where they ambush prey. Small jigs tipped with soft plastics or live shrimp are effective. Light tackle is crucial, as weakfish have delicate mouths. A productive strategy involves drifting these areas, covering ground until you locate a school. Be aware that weakfish populations fluctuate, so scout reports and recent catches are valuable resources. Remember to practice catch and release to help sustain the fishery.
