Weakfish
Weakfish, also known as grey trout, are a prized catch in the waters around Coles Point, Virginia, offering light-tackle excitement. These fish are known for their delicate mouths, so a gentle touch is essential. Look for weakfish in the shallows of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, especially around grassy flats and tidal creeks. They often follow schools of baitfish. Spring and early summer are the best times to target weakfish as they migrate into the area to spawn. Small jigs, soft plastics, and live shrimp are all effective baits. A slow, steady retrieve is often more productive than a fast, erratic one. The area around the mouth of the Yeocomico River is known to hold good numbers of weakfish. Be aware of the tidal currents, as weakfish tend to feed more actively during periods of slack tide. Also, be sure to check the current regulations as weakfish populations can fluctuate, leading to changes in size and bag limits.
