a weakfish maybe
I hope some cobia come into the canal this year, I'd like a shot at landing one of those
If I ever got a Wahoo in the canal, I could die a happy man

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Seems like weakfish are making a big comeback. Can't wait to catch one some day.

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.
I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.
2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

They're a blast on light gear. Fight much better than a bass, pound for pound. You have to finesse them, because it's really easy to rip a hook loose, especially with braid. They're really beautiful when they first come out of the water. They like moving water, even more so than bass. That's where the "tiderunner" nickname came from.
Not the greatest eating fish out there, though. I kept one, once. That was enough. C&R only from then on. |

They used to be part of the Vineyard Derby until they stop migrating in numbers this far north. Very pretty and tasy when they get to be 15 to 18 #' Very soft mouths as well. Guys I know that targeted them would fish live pogies using a balloon float. When the balloon went under and stayed there for a minute or two they knew the weakfish had swallowed the bait and would then fight the fish.

That's how I caught my first and only one, about 25 yrs ago. That was the fish that got me hooked. |
