Tony,

Thanks for these timely postings.

Sadly, it looks as if the weaks have gone the way of the whiting. It used to be a nice transition from fluke before the fall bass run. I am still holding out hope that the species "demise" is only cyclical. Honestly, however, it has been a couple years now since we had a true weak run. Hey, I didn't target weaks at all this year. The sea bass filled in that gap. Let's hope we can still target them next season. I really feel for those guys trying to scratch out a living in the party/ charter boat business. They are being regulated right out of business.
