When I first saw it I thought it looked like a small groundfish, the lateral line made me think cod but the color wasn't right.
Fish was on the south side of the cape.

That was my first thought. Couldn't see any gold fins though, and the lack of spots other than a few near the tail. |

My first guess was kingfish or croaker.

Looks like a white perch to me . . . I have a house on Perch Pond in Falmouth and I've seen schoolies mauling these things.

The closer I look, more I'd say squet (not whiting) because the scales are very prominant. Did you look at the mouth ? Did it have 2 "fangs" or 2 sharp teeth on the upper jaw ?

Yep, I'm going with the weakfish on this one, too.
Easy things to look for in fish ID are overall body shape, mouth and eye placement, and, if you want to get technical, number of spines on their fins (this comes in handy when using a fish ID program like the one at www.fishbase.org). Colors aren't so telling once things have been partially digested, because certain substances/body parts get digested more quickly and color can be changed by stomach acids. |
The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
