Incredibly jealous now...very very nice speck...missing the saltwater air, the slicks and that watermelon, fresh mowed lawn smell you experience when fishing specks in a feeding frenzy and the specks are regurgitating the bait fish. I've not fished for specks with croaker in years. Nice red too and shveet vid!
Gator trout are smart and very elusive. Using a 30 p compared to a 20 makes a huge diff, go with the 20. Also use the smallest swivel that u can find. Mogans can detect them right away if you use big swivels. Patience is the key, good luck everyone and remember quality is better than cuantaty when it comes to this beautys.
AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO...WHY when fishing from a boat you use a very short handled 'kayak' net??? In Louisiana, especially during the winter months...we have had drownings due to people reaching excessively and falling overboard! Just an observation...John Castelluccio, Jr. white 'TEAM AVENGER' South-Louisiana
so croakers are super expensive and i asked local bait shop why this was the case, a few years ago and they told me cuz the gas was so expensive. I asked yesterday why the croaker price hasn't come down with the reduction in recent gas prices. lol they could not answer me and a dozen croakers will still set you back a million dollars.
+modernpawn And..croakers are easy to catch with a small hook (size eight or so) with piece of shrimp cast off a pier or other area in a brackish river (like St. Johns in Jacksonville Fl). Use one to two once weight. I use to catch them all the time while fishing for other fish. Also, the big ones are fun to catch!
I never bought croakers and i'll tell you something else, I like the taste of croaker better than speckled trout. if I ever caught croakers 8 to 10 inches I would keep and filet them
I love that set up we limited out on 20 trout and I caught a 36" red in like 3 hrs. In south texas near Corpus Christi

lol Trout are dumb. They will hit anything. If you're not scoring Trout, then you're doing something HORRIBLY wrong. Big trout on deck 24/7
Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. Great video .

Great tips. Keep the videos coming.
I like your profile picture. Thanks for watching.
Great video! They good to eat that big?
@modernpawn what kind of boat is that?
Why the loop knot at the hook instead of a regular Palomar?
Do you know of people having success with this rig with croakers in NC?

+edgu71eg So catch your own! Check out my post above.
edgu71eg two big split shots a panfish hook and balls of shrimp and you will catch them until you run out of bait
Buy a cast net haha
This video helped me alot
Where are you fishing at???
You need to wet your hands so that you don't damage it's scales if your going to release it
Is that a grimsmo pocket knife ?

DO NOT TIE AN EGG SINKER WITHOUT A BEAD TO PROTECT THE KNOT FROM THE LEAD....
How do you catch croakers?
Jo Prat bought it at the bait stand
Just drop a piece of shrimp in the water on a small hook. You'll tear them up

If birds are working, why waste a live croaker? I just throw plastics.
