Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Cape Charles offers some exceptional weakfish opportunities, particularly around the Eastern Shore's expansive shallow bays and inlets. The key here is understanding the seasonal movements of their prey. Spring and fall are prime times as weakfish migrate through the Chesapeake Bay following schools of baitfish like silversides and peanut bunker. Look for them around structure like submerged grass beds, oyster bars, and channel edges in the Hungars Creek or Cherrystone Inlet areas. A local tip: Weakfish are notoriously leader shy, so using a fluorocarbon leader is crucial. Also, pay close attention to water clarity; weakfish prefer slightly stained water. Tides play a big role too – target moving water, especially around dawn and dusk. The weakfish population here can fluctuate, so check local reports for the most up-to-date information on size and abundance.
