Croakers at Town Creek Pier

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Town Creek Pier, Patuxent River

I went to Town Creek Pier to do some fishing.I arrived at 4pm and had the pier to myself, so I setup on the right corner. I had bloodworms, fishbites ,shrimp, and squid. First I used the fishbites and bamboo. I caught 6 croakers using them which I love, because I didn't want to use my shrimp until nighttime. When night fell it was all shrimp. I caught over 35 Croakers while only keeping my limit. All kept were between 10 to 13 inches while also keeping a 13 inch white perch.My observation of the pier is that it's in deep water so all you need is a 9 foot rod or less. Also pick out high tide to go there, so you cast in the shallows .
