Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish and Oak Island's Coastal Waters
Oak Island's coastal waters offer fantastic opportunities to encounter a range of fish species, and the Spotted Weakfish is one of the exciting catches that can happen when deep sea trolling in this area. These fish are found in both inshore and nearshore environments, and they're known for putting up a solid fight when hooked.
The nearshore ecosystem around Oak Island supports diverse fish populations thanks to the mix of sandy bottoms, channels, and structure.
