The weakfish is another one of the species that is extremely popular with consumers and sportsfishermen. Found in inshore waters and estuaries from Cape Hatteras to New England, the weakfish is one of our most sought-after species of finfish. 

Reaching a weight of ten pounds and above, but more often seen in markets at a pound or two, weakfish are targetted by both otter trawlers and gillnetters.
