Distribution and Value of the Common Weakfish
WEAKFISH — The common weakfish, or squeteague is found in abundance along the Atlantic coast from Cape Cod to Florida. It averages about 2J pounds in weight, but some attain a weight of 80 pounds. The spotted squeteague is found from New Jersey to Texas, and somewhat larger than the other species. The California "'bluefish" and the great "white sea bass" of California are the other species of weakfish. Squeteague fishing begins in the latter part of April and lasts from six to eight weeks, until the school begins to move off into deeper and cooler waters. They are caught in pound nets, traps and weirs.
