Weakfish
Weakfish, also known as grey trout, offer a delicate and exciting fishing experience in the waters surrounding West Point, Virginia. These fish are known for their soft mouths, requiring a gentle touch when setting the hook. The York, Mattaponi, and Pamunkey Rivers provide excellent habitat for weakfish during their spring and fall migrations. Look for them in areas with grassy flats, channel edges, and around structure like docks and pilings. Small jigs tipped with soft plastics or live shrimp are effective baits. A local tactic is to drift these baits with the current, covering ground and increasing your chances of finding a school. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Keep an eye on water clarity, as weakfish prefer cleaner water. Also, be prepared to downsize your tackle; lighter line and smaller hooks will increase your hook-up ratio. Be aware of the seasonal regulations, as weakfish populations can fluctuate.
