Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Chincoteague offers some fantastic weakfish action in its coastal bays and inlets. These fish are highly migratory, so timing is crucial. Your best bet is usually late spring through early fall, when they move into the area to feed on the abundant baitfish. Look for them around grassy flats, channel edges, and oyster beds, especially during moving tides. A key to success here is matching your lure or bait to what they are feeding on. Sand eels, small crabs, and shrimp are all good choices. A local tip: try fishing around the Assateague Island National Seashore. There are several access points, but be mindful of the park's regulations. Also, weakfish are known for their delicate mouths, so use light tackle and avoid setting the hook too hard.
