Weakfish

Point Judith, Rhode Island, is a fantastic location to intercept migrating weakfish as they move up the Atlantic coast. This area benefits from diverse habitats, including the rocky coastline, sandy beaches, and the entrance to Narragansett Bay. The best time to target weakfish here is typically from late spring through early summer, as the water warms and baitfish become abundant. Look for areas with current, such as the breachways and around rocky outcroppings. A local's secret is to fish the early morning or late evening tides near the Galilee fishing docks; the lights attract baitfish, which in turn draw in the weakfish. Remember that weakfish are delicate, so use circle hooks and handle them with care to ensure their survival upon release. The weakfish population in this area can be quite robust, offering a memorable angling experience.
