Stealth and precision drifting provided by a kayak makes it a deadly platform for pursuing these beautiful gamefish.

The weakfish population crashed during the early 2000s and has been considered depleted for nearly two decades.

From May 12 to 15, more than 300 dedicated kayak anglers descended on Floyd Bennett Field for the Jamaica Bay Kayak Classic hosted by Captain Kayak of Sayville, NY.

The fog bank had just cleared enough for me to see where my casts were landing when I heard the first screaming drag of the morning.

I learned something new about weakfish this winter—some of them weather the cold on the offshore wrecks alongside sea bass and pollock.

Years ago, while fishing on my friend’s dock on Mystic Island in New Jersey, we were having trouble catching minnows for bait.

Got an email over the weekend from OTW Subscriber Don Lynch that read: Hey Jim just wanted to let you know that the weakfish are around!
