You will have more options in a bigger boat but a winning fish could very well come from the area's your boat can access safely.

I'm thinking that I might try to make a trip down that way on the 17th. I'll shoot you a PM and let you know once I work out some of the details. Might have to make it a multiple species trip!!! What are some good places to crappie fish while I am down that way?

That will work for me. As far as Crappie, I can check and see if I can bring someone to a private lake that I just got access to that is near where we will be croaker fishing. Or, we can follow up on what I have been told about crappie being in the back of a creek about about 4 miles up river from where we will be croaker fishing.

Sounds like a plan... I'll let you know something by the middle of next week!

Blake most of the big croakers are saught shallow this time of year 6' to 9' of water leading into deeper water....drifting amongst the freshly put out crab pots is a good choice as the water is scented up with herring and such ...put out a chum bag and drift lines just past it and hang on !!!!!!!!!!

Ok---I did not read all of this but it sorta sounds like some croaker get together is about to take place. Please keep me in the loop on this one---I like to catch them rascals too!:D

I did not see a date or place, what are the plans?

So far was has been discussed is doing a little croaker tournament or get together at Jones creek ramp here in Smithfield either labour day weekend or the first weekend in June. Nothing has been decided for sure yet but we should decide something soon. Check the croaker thread on the off topic forum.
