Weakfish
Chasing weakfish near West Point, PA, involves understanding their sensitivity to water conditions in the Delaware River's brackish environment. These delicate fish are more common further down the Delaware Bay but can be found seasonally as they migrate upriver in the spring and early summer. Look for them in areas with cleaner, slightly saltier water, often near the mouths of smaller creeks and rivers. Weakfish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure or current breaks. Live shrimp or small artificial lures like soft plastics and small spoons are effective. A crucial tip is to use light tackle and a gentle retrieve, as weakfish have soft mouths and are easily spooked. Local anglers often have success fishing at dawn or dusk when the light is low, and the weakfish are more active. Always check the current regulations regarding size and creel limits, as weakfish populations can fluctuate.
