i know this is a shotgun forum but i had to tell y'all about my day yesterday. i had gotten off work and a man was up at the docks tellin' us about all the croaker he's been catching(he's a comercial fisherman) in the creeks. so my boss had a bucket of dead soft crabs and said i coulhave a couple if i wanted to go fishing. i live about 30 seconds by bike from a dock. i went home, got my brother(he's 11) and went to the creek. i cast out and in about 30 seconds BOOM i had a nice croaker. cast back out - BOOM - another one in about five minutes. i was down there fo an hour and had caught 5 1 1/2-3 lb croker. i was feelin' kind of smug w/ my 5 fish and my brother with none. i told him we would go home in ten minutes. about 8 minutes had passed and i told him it was time to go. then his rod bennt double and he started yellin'. it took him a wile to get the fish in. it was a croker that had to weight close to 4 lbs. i don't know how many hear ar familier with croker(some people call the hard heads) but that was one nice fish!! all in all it was a good day :lol:
