squeteague......

[Swimmer]

Absolutely one of the prettiest fish in the world. Use to watch this kid fish for them just off of Tashmoo at sunrise with live bunker with a balloon attached to the line. When the balloon went under for ten or twelve seconds the kid would start reeling. I have never caught one.

That's how I started in NJ weakfish. 10lbser's. Outgoing night tide.

Anyone ever cook/eat them ?

If they are cyclic they've been in a down cycle or a while now

In my entire life,I've seen only two.Caught on successive casts at Ctown.(not by me)Maybe 15 yrs ago?

I caught my first weak way before i caught my first striper......as a kid we would get them on the Cape..some big ones too...now they just happen every once in a while. The last weak i caught on the cape was about 5 years ago. We actually got into a good school of them, but they were all about 10-15inches long. At the time i thought it was a sing they were coming back......I guess not.....its so sad...I miss them very much
