Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Hampton, Virginia, offers some exciting weakfish action, especially if you key in on their seasonal migrations. These fish, also known as grey trout, are prevalent in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Spring and fall are prime times as they move in and out of the bay following baitfish. Look for them around structure like bridge pilings, oyster beds, and channel edges in the lower Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of the James River. Effective presentations include soft plastics on jig heads, drifted live shrimp, or small spoons. Water clarity is key; weakfish prefer cleaner water. A local tip: the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel can be a hotspot, but be mindful of boat traffic and strong currents. Also, pay attention to water temperature – weakfish tend to move deeper as the water warms up in summer and cool down in the winter. Weakfish populations fluctuate naturally, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information.
