    (Family Fun Fishing P.M.)

    Great Time with Capt. Tim!

    Great boat for fishing- lots of horizontal surfaces for sitting and fishing, stable in the water. Bimini top to keep you cool. Capt. Tim was great- very chill, down to earth, knowledgeable and motivated. We caught over 40 fish, 6 different species. More than enough for family dinner despite having a few a bit too small. Saw some wildlife while on the water, from feeding dolphins to a "cannonball" jellyfish. Beautiful views all around. Would defintely book Capt. Tim again.

    Richtig geiler Ausflug

    Alfonso is ein super cooler, und erfahrener Typ der sich gut auf dem Fluss auskennt. Wir haben mehr als erwartet gefangen. Kurze Wege zu den Spots.💪

About Weakfish fishing

Size

Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Good

Part of the same family as the Spotted Seatrout/Speckled Trout, the Weakfish is an enjoyable game fish of the Cynoscion genus. Offering a fun fight on light tackle and a good meal afterwards, this sometimes overlooked fish is always worth targeting.

When and where 

Weakfish can be found on North America's east coast, from the north of Florida up to Nova Scotia, Canada (although it is not often found north of Massachussetts). The state fish of Delaware, it is best targeted here and in New York in the summer, while Florida to North Carolina is best for Weakfishing in the winter

This is a schooling species that prefers inshore sandy bottoms in the summer and deeper waters in the winter. Never venturing into freshwater, it can be caught in estuaries, bays, and in the surf.

How to catch Weakfish

The Weakfish's name doesn't come from its fighting ability – in fact, it has been described as the 'gamiest' fish of its genus. It can be landed with conventional, spinning, or fly tackle, and the most productive techniques include trolling, jigging, and surf fishing. The most effective way to target it is by chumming around a drifting or anchored boat, although it can also be fished for by shore-based anglers from piers, docks, and bridges.  

Are Weakfish good to eat?

Yes! Their tender meat is very moist and full of flavor. It should be eaten very fresh as the meat does not keep well.
