The Weakfish is characterized by its sleek body, two large teeth and an oversized mouth. Markings consist of numerous black spots that form an almost line like appearance over a grayish to greenish muttled top and a silvery or white bottom.

These fish are found on the eastern coast usually in the deeper waters of cuts, channels, bays and holes.

Live shrimp and baitfish along with cut bait make for the best natural bait, while jigs are the best artificial bait.
