John you are right. The reason the weakfish can not make a come back is due to the stripers and the dogfish. In the fall just outside of the 3 mile line there are schools of stripers that are miles long in size and are off limits to recs and coms.. They are stock piling the stripers at the expense of the weakfish.

I think you have a great point, mismanagement.
They’ve neglected the weakfish and allowed the striper to come back beyond natural limits. Always the same old story ASMFC and other agencies can’t learn to balance species even with all the modern scientific data they collect. My fear is that because the striper is a more prestigious fish from Maine to NC, the powers that be don’t really care what happens with the other species as long as stripers are abundant. I’ve had the privilege to fish the Delaware Bay since the early 70′s, I’ll take weakfishing over stripers any day. The season is longer, especially the summer months, they hands down taste better, and if you’ve experienced good weakfishing it’s addictive! I enjoy catching stripers especially the ones over 15 pounds, but the reasons listed above are why I prefer weaks over stripers. I believe the way Redfish have been brought back along the southern coast the same can be done with it’s cousin the weakfish, namely hatcheries and netting bans, you must apply both the sea is no longer an endless bounty.

I fish all over and I picked this up at Fisherman’s Headquarters in Ship Bottom. I haven’t seen this elsewhere. I fished Great Bay a short time ago and there were lots of greenies but the worst was they bounced off a few times, no bites. It does last for hours. I was out for 6 hours and didn’t need to apply more. Another trick is I wear long pants. I’ve seen guys fish in Florida, in the summer, completely covered to protect from bugs and the sun.

Maybe, but the flounder have traditionally been here in good numbers during June.
