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

Brought out the fly rod for a mixed bag on the beach this morning. Not much action, but the weakfish made it all worth it! . . #weakfish #flyfishing #flounder #saltwaterfishing #saltwaterflyfishing

Native Jersey brook trout. Few things get me as amped as chasing these fish with dry flies. The big guy in the last photo put up a nice fight on the 3wt. . . #BrookTrout #NewJerseyWild #TroutUnlimited #BackcountryHuntersAndAnglers #PublicLandOwner #FlyFishing #NativeTrout

I’m not one to revel in non-natives. But catching a wild rainbow trout, in one of the most pristine headwater streams in New Jersey, held some allure. I hope to one day catch one of these guys in their native range instead of catching them as bycatch when I’m after brookies . . #WildTrout #BrookTrout #RainbowTrout
