Looking for Croaker

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Lower Bay
Location: Point Lookout

Set out from boat ramp at Point Lookout on 5/31 around noon. Bounced east across the bay in search of the Croaker but none found. Headed up the Potomac River a bit and caught a few throw back Stripers in shallow water close to shore using a Carolina Rig and an adjustable high low bottom rig. We tried one last drift in Cornfield Harbor and bumped into a rogue school of Spot. Caught for about 1/2 hour, starting about 5:30 before things turned off again. Surprisingly, we didn't catch any fish on the very bottom hook of our rig. Instead, our top bait arm was adjusted to a position about 3 to 4 feet above the bottom. We also caught a few perch and a puffer fish. Not bad for our first day on the water.
