WEAKFISH

a fish resembling a trout found along the Northern Atlantic coast and in season from the middle of May to the end of October. It takes its name from the tenderness of its mouth. The Common Weakfish is silvery with dark, wavy marks. Other kinds include the Spotted, named from its black spots, and the White. Their weight varies with the depth of the water in which they are caught-those from near shore often weigh as little as half a pound, others from deep water reach as high as ten pounds.
