Seasonal Activity Chart
Weakfish
Long Island, Virginia, offers some fantastic opportunities for weakfish anglers, particularly in the warmer months. The Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries near Long Island serve as vital nursery grounds, attracting weakfish with abundant baitfish. The best time to target weakfish here is typically from late spring through early fall, when they move into shallower waters to feed and spawn. To increase your chances, focus on areas with structure, such as grass beds, oyster bars, and channel edges. Local anglers often have success with soft plastic lures and small jigs, mimicking the local forage like bay anchovies and silversides. A helpful tip is to fish during periods of low light, such as dawn or dusk, as weakfish are more active then. The shallow flats around Long Island can be accessed by boat or kayak, but always check tide charts before heading out, as some areas become inaccessible at low tide.
