Weakfish
Chasing Weakfish near Sandy Point, Virginia, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you time your trip right. These beautiful, delicate fish are most abundant during the spring and early summer months when they enter the Chesapeake Bay to spawn. Look for them in grassy shallows, tidal creeks, and around structure like docks and pilings. Light tackle is key, as Weakfish have soft mouths. Small jigs, soft plastics, and live shrimp are all effective baits. The York River near Sandy Point is a particularly productive area. A local tip: pay attention to the wind direction, as a steady breeze can push baitfish into certain areas, concentrating the Weakfish. Weakfish populations have fluctuated in recent years, so practice catch and release to help conserve this species. Remember to handle them gently when releasing, as they are easily stressed.
