two falls ago i was fishing a few spots on the south shore of LI,if you saw all the little weakfish that the blues and bass were eating you might have an idea were they went before maturing.i also grew up on the south shore of LI.in the early 60's you had to fish the peconics if you wanted to catch weakfish.by the early 70's the bay was fully of small 18 to 24 inch weakfish.by the late 70's there were no small weakfish for the most part but 8 to 15lbers were pretty common.sure the gillnetters caught alot but that doesn't explain why they didn't come back for years.the old timers always said when there were blowfish there weren't any weakfish,what ever happened to our beloved blowfish?
