Weakfish finally started biting for Evening Tide Charters at Reach Channel, pretty much up and down the channel. just minutes away from our slip Quite a few 14- to 22-inchers were landed, and usually We prefers to liveline peanut bunker on light tackle for the them, a very effective and fun way to catch them, but the peanuts that were netted recently were too big candy bar size for the weaks, so anglers instead fished with Berkeley Power Worms on jigheads. But when smaller peanuts are found, we will be livelined for the fish, and sandworms will also be used, and long with squid strips soaked in shedder crab oil, another good method. Blues from 2 to 5 pounds were also picked up along with the weaks. Charters will concentrate on weakfishing as long as the bite holds out, and bluefish will also be a target, and openings available for trips. We are disappointed that fluke season closed early, because my son out fish the capt this year nailed a 27-incher that was released, so the flattie will fight another day.
