Baby Weakfish

Description
Have an underwater light by my dock and there are TONS of baby weakfish under there. Pretty cool watching them swim around and attack anything that moves. They're between 6 and 8 inches right now, but every week they're adding an inch.

Wonder what happens to them as they get a little older. I remember years ago they were the go-to summertime fish, now, you run into some larger ones in the spring, but that's about it.

I have similar lights. I don't see any weakfish but in the fall I get stripers.

Same here Dave, the weaks have been in the light for a few weeks now and yes it is cool to see them growing.I have had the light for a few years and this is the first time I have seen the weaks along with a ton of baby drum in the unbrella net.

Get a bag of frozen grass shrimp and start feeding them...
