Croakers and Stripers

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Chesapeake Bay out of the Severn River

We took a friend's boat out of Severn Sailing in Annapolis-Saturday night, we stayed 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day, we fished all night maybe 2.5 miles from the sailing club, about 200 yards from the shipping channel. Caught a cooler full of HUGE Croakers (30-35 of them), about 10 nice Spot (Croakers and Spot on bloodworms and cut up squid, and 2 nice Rockfish, including the one in the pic, on cut spot). Live lining Spot was not doing anything for us. We caught around 15-20 non-keeper Rocks, from 10-15 inches. The first keeper one looked about 28-30 inches, the second one maybe 26-28. I kept the smaller one. He was delicious!
