Weakfish
Weakfish, also known as grey trout, are a prized catch in the waters around Gloucester Point, though their populations have fluctuated in recent years. These fish are most abundant during the spring and fall migrations, following schools of baitfish in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Look for them in areas with strong currents and structure, such as channel edges and bridge pilings. Live shrimp or small jigs fished under a popping cork are effective presentations. A key tip is to use light tackle and a slow retrieve, as weakfish have delicate mouths. Access to good fishing spots is readily available from Gloucester Point Beach Park. Be aware that weakfish populations can be sensitive to environmental changes, so practice catch and release to help conserve this species. Focus on areas where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay for best results.
