Great catching. My biggest croaker ever was 21", and that is the only one I have caught above 16". That is pretty unusual for the bay. It sounds like you and your dad had a fun day.

Hey Andrew, nice croaker.

[Yak Fish]

How do you keep the spoons deep while trolling? Did you use trolling sinkers or a diving planar?

Nice catch!

[MetroMan]

Nice going!!

we run 3 lines.one with a clark spoon and a planer.one with a drone spoon and a planer.and one with a tony 14 with a 4 ounce weight.that one catches the most blues

Another method I used to use trolling around the CBBT was a three way swivel a dropper of 2-3 feet with cannonball sinker and thirty feet of leader to the lure- usually a white or yellow bucktail with white or yellow Uncle Josh pork strip-

[kayak456]

we something similar for that at that lower bridge for flounders.
