Hi Gang,
I'll be down in Ocean City, NJ next week for vacation. I think I've missed the stripers, but I think the weakfish are still down there, any tips on how to catch weakfish would be greatly appreciated.
I plan on using:
small jigs w/pink or orange rubber trailers
fluke rigs w/clam and chub

Its our 5th year vacationing down there, and I think I'm going to do most of my fishing in Corsons Inlet.

Think the small to medium sized Ledgerunners with the curly tails....;).....on the drop (the jig drop, not the tide drop).....

At least that's what works for their "close cousins" in Hatteras.....

PS....I've also gotten weakies in Jersey on a small to medium orange and black Mega-Bait "bomber" type lure......

Try the Longport bridge at night on the outgoing tide. One of my favorite places. Lots of bait so bring a throw net if you have one. Usually use medium size grey finesse on a high/low type rig if bait is not around. When they are there it's a blast. Good luck.
