Actually ate some weakfish from 2021 Wednesday night. I don;t ever freeze bluefish or striped bass (the one keeper I catch a year, lol) but weaks and fluke in a vaccuum sealer keep well. (But on a stringer off the yak those fish are still alive when I get home so there's that...) The yak makes me a bit of a conservationist as well, since on the south shore I scoot for home shortly after the wind picks up around 11ish, catching or not.
With just a month before the usual opening has anyone heard anything ?
