I grew up in Mattituck and used to go out of New Suffolk with my Grandfather in a rented skiff. We would usually anchor off bouy #3 or #1 North and East of Robins Island and catch weakfish and Bronzbacks. Many years have gone by, but this year I want to trailer my boat out there and do it again with my nephew. When is the best time to expect weakfish to be in Peconic Bay? Have heard there is a spawning run into the bay from Shinne**** Canal. Is that true and when does it usually happen?

Peconic weakies!!

Usually starts around mid-May around Robins Island. I had great success last year in the early mornings drifting around the same markers. Hi - lo squid rigs or small tins.

Thanks...That's just the way we used to catch them. We also took a bushel of clams, but my father ate them befor we got to the bouy. I fish the sound now, but it's been 30 years and I've got to go back.
