Fishing with Dad - Eastern Bay

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Eastern Bay

It�s always nice to spend an evening on the water with my Dad. Of course, its double-good when the fish and the weather cooperate! I knew we were going to get a late start, so I decided to target croakers. At 6pm, we ran out to an oyster bottom area in about 20� of water and started catching them immediately. They ranged in size from 9 to 14�, with a few perch and spot mixed in. Peeler and bloodworms both worked well. The light breeze against the tide kept us virtually still all evening.
