The full moon lit up the sand flats I was fishing. I found both striped bass and bluefish, and they were keyed in on schools of micro peanut bunker. I spent six hours throwing soft plastics and flies at them. They kept biting. A mid-sized purple and white clouser minnow did the trick for this one. . . . #SaltwaterFishing #StripedBass #BackcountryHuntersandAnglers #publiclandowner

Lots of action in the back bays last night. Weeded through a bunch of schoolie stripers to find the big weakfish I’ve been waiting for! . . . #Weakfish #Fishing #SaltwaterFishing #TideRunner #BackcountryHuntersandAnglers #PublicLandOwner

Searching for elusive weakfish from shore. In recent decades, the weakfish population has crashed along the Atlantic Coast. They reached an all time low biomass of 2.9 million pounds. The healthy biomass for a weakfish population is estimated at 22.4 million pounds. Their decline has largely been attributed to commercial by-catch mortality and the nondiscriminatory use of gill nets. This year, however, weakfish seem to be on the rebound. And in those precious minutes just before and after sunrise, the bite on a fly rod has been nonstop. . . . 📷 : @_morgan_catherine . . #Weakfish #FlyFishing #FishingDaily #Fishing #SurfFishing #SaltwaterFishing #SaltwaterFlyFishing #PublicLandOwner

Up before dawn for another good day on the beach with @_morgan_catherine. Early morning wake ups run the benefit of being on the water when these guys crush baitfish in the suds. It was a pre-storm blitz. And I lost way more fish then I care to admit. . . 📷: @_morgan_catherine . #flyfishing #weakfish #saltwaterflyfishing #surffishing #fishingdaily

The weakfish bite was red hot at sunrise. They tore up the threading on my favorite fly and now I’m tasked with tying replacements. These suckers are elusive but damn fun when you get in on them. I even got @_morgan_catherine to join in on the festivities. She was about to release a weakfish I had just caught when I hooked into another. The last photo here shows them both. . . . #weakfish #flyfishing #saltwaterfishing #saltwaterflyfishing #fishingdaiky
