Weakfish
If you're targeting weakfish near Big Island, Virginia, understanding the James River's tidal influence is key. This brackish environment offers unique opportunities, particularly where freshwater meets saltwater. Spring and fall are prime times as weakfish follow the migrating baitfish. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, drop-offs, and areas with strong current. Natural presentations are crucial here; live shrimp or small baitfish imitations are often irresistible. Remember to adjust your depth based on water temperature and current – weakfish tend to hold at different levels depending on the conditions. A local tip: the public boat ramp at the end of Deep Bottom Road offers good access to productive areas. Be mindful of the shifting sandbars, especially at low tide.
