I had a good day catching croaker before the rain moved in this afternoon. Goody and I launched out of Jonas Green Park, jigged the piers for perch. Eventually we made it to the bridge pilings and bounced cooked shrimp on a top and bottom rig. We caught plenty of keeper perch and Croaker...since I am new to the salt life, this was my first time catching croaker. They filet nicely!

I should have introduced myself at the Meet and Greet Matt, I did not realize that was you. I was trying to give you some personal space with the lady. I was the guy that anchored close to you in the olive outback catching catfish. I got my first snakehead, so I was just finishing the day with some good cat pullage.

I caught some croaker at the mouth of Weems Creek this afternoon on Fishbites. The Fishbites were at least a year-old in an opened bag, but the croaker did not care. It is great to have a non-perishable bottom fishing bait on hand. I tear off 1" long sections and hook them through the middle.

Matt mentioned leaving his rods in the rod holders when bottom fishing. I do that most of the time. I use small snelled circle hooks with silver spinner blades (Bear Paw FNCH 2 or 4) on standard bottom rigs. The fish hook themselves and rarely take the bait deep into their throats.

I also found a greater abundance of perch in my usual Weems shorelines spots. In two of my better spots, I had either a caught perch or a bite on about every second cast.

It was probably smart of you to keep your distance, I ending up teaching her how to cast a baitcaster... and we all know how that can go for beginners haha

Congrats on Snakey and the croaks... they both are fun to catch.. and I'm sure I'll see you on the water again soon to officially meet and greet.

BTW your outback looked super sharp out there!!

I really only like keeping them in the rod holders for croakers, because they will actually hit the bait with some force... with perch and spot and other species they have a little more sensitive bite, so I prefer to keep the rod in hand.
