Perch and rock fishing is fun but fighting those croaker’s when they hit your line it’s nothing like it

Last time I caught descent croakers was over12 yr or more. Back in the 2003 to 2008 I caught 18 to 19 inch croakers regularly from the shore at Pax River
Now you lucky if you can get a 9 inch one.

We are catching 2” croakers while trying to catch white perch near Annapolis. They keep stealing our grass shrimp.

I think it's those gill netters sweeping everything decent out before they even get to the rivers

That’s the reason I bought my boat in 2009 because I loved catching croaker’s. Every time I went out I will fill my casket cooler to the top especially when I went to Tappahannock Virginia fishing out of the Rappahannock River. Bushwood, Chesapeake beach, point lookout, Solomon’s Island. I’m thinking about selling my boat now 🤔

Down here we also use hard crab which works as well as peeler crab.
