Highlights of Cedar Point Spotted Weakfish Fishing
Cedar Point's shallow grass beds and oyster bars create perfect hunting grounds for spotted weakfish, locally known as speckled trout. These fish thrive in the brackish waters where the White Oak River meets the Atlantic, feeding on shrimp, small crabs, and baitfish. The 23-inch specimen caught here demonstrates the quality fishing available in these protected waters. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, with early morning and late afternoon producing the best results.
Captain Ryan targets structure around docks, creek mouths, and grass edges where spotted weakfish ambush prey. Light tackle and live bait produce excellent results, though artificial lures work well for active fish. The relatively shallow water makes this an ideal fishery for anglers of all skill levels, from children catching their first fish to experienced anglers seeking trophy specimens.
Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish
Spotted weakfish are among the most sought-after inshore gamefish along North Carolina's coast, prized for their fighting ability and excellent table fare. These fish prefer water temperatures between 60-80 degrees and are most active during moving tides when baitfish are displaced from cover. In Cedar Point waters, they typically range from 14-24 inches, with fish over 20 inches considered excellent catches. Their distinctive spotted pattern and silver sides make them easy to identify, while their soft mouth requires careful handling to avoid losing fish during the fight.
