Hey guys and galls,
I was wondering where is a good place for som nice size croaker and spot ? I just realized I havent had a fish fry all summer.. Is a carolina rig with squid/bloodworm fish bites the best way ? That is the only way I know how to fish for them. But I dont know the best place for the big horse croakers..
Thank you,

Oh do the larger croakers prefer structure or not?

Try around the 1st or 2nd island.

cibnhoj,

For big croakers......hard to beat peeler crab on a standard bottom rig. Structure is good for all fish, croakers included.. As with a lot of other fish, a good sized peice of bait will normally yeild you a better size fish....

Took the family to Oyster this past weekend and caught alot of big croakers using fresh shrimp on bottom rigs. Had friends catch some decent ones around the Monitor-Merimac. Has anyone heard of any spot being caught?

I have been catching spot in the Western Branch using artificial bloodworms, both fishbites and Berkley

We fished at Oyster Tuesday and caught a pile of big croakers,We had a few over 2 lbs.Here is the big boy of the day,2 3/4 pounds caught on cooked shrimp!!!!!!!

I were is the Oyster anyone got any numb. for are were at from the M&M
thanks
Buddy

Taking my dad and two 6 yr olds tomorrow... Can we get more specific about the big croaker in oyster ? They only get to go once or twice a year and would really like to see them happy on the fish. Thanks a bunch.

My friend, I'm not trying to be mean, but that post didn't make any sense.

For the part I could make out, Oyster is a town. There are many fishing spots that can be reached from Oyster.

The numbers for the town are:
37.286N.
-75.922W.

Billyboy,I think they want to know where to go for the fish.KMad 61, the exit for oyster is about12-14 miles off of 13n once you cross the cbbt.I also had to learn the little towns like croaker,oyster etc

My buddy caught one 4 pounds off of york river state park last week. I got one just shy of a citation at the fourth two weeks back on a piece of clam Going up to oyster probably ain't worth it for time, fuel, and they got some ferocious black flys and squeeters up there. Fish for bigger fish use bigger bait and bigger hooks to keep the little ones off.

monitor merrimac bridge is full of horse croakers and spades & flounder james river side
