I' m not sure why it won' t work. I just opened it. I' ll try putting the attachment this post and see if it works. If you' re from Virginia, you probably call this fish a trout

still couldn' t open.

i know the fish. we call em both. got into a couple this past june at indian river inlet at night. nice fish.

32 is a respectable fish. eat him fresh though as they don' t freeze well. meat gets to mushy.

good luck

I' m surprised you couldn' t open the file. Oh well. Maybe I' ll try posting it from with a web based link. This year was crappy for weakfish. I only caught two all year. That one from Delaware Bay out of Bowers Beach and one smaller one from the Chesapeake near Crisfield. My in-laws live on Deal Island. Indian River is a great place to fish. Lots of stripers (rock) all year long and a short hop to the Hot Dog.

What would happen when you clicked on the Attachment.jpeg icon on the bottom of the page? Would you get an error message?

yea I get the error mssg.

I' m computer illiterate so could be on my end.

seems like weakfish, rockfish and blues go in about 10 yr cycles.
rocks are everwhere in the Chessy right now, trout never showed like last yr. havent caught a blue in the bay for about 4 yrs now.
we used to go and catch a trash can full and no rockfish.
just a cycle I believe (hope anyway)

This year stunk for a lot of fish. All the cold weather and rain really screwed things up. Tuna didn' t turn on until September. The flounder saved the day in Delaware Bay and rock helped out in the Chessy. I think the cold fresh water actually helped the striper run in the Chessy and a lot of places south. They didn' t feel the need to migrate north. The bait run stunk in the spring, too, if I remember correctly. I did catch a few nice grouper, snapper, barracuda and dolphin. That was on vacation, though

. I just dropped the Aquasport (The " Dan" Forth) off to be winterized. I' ll have to wait until Spring.

Thanks 454. Little Egg Harbor is a familiar place to me. We went flounder fishing out of Tuckahoe this August. I usually launch from Cape May or Slower Delaware
