Croaker Saved the Day (mid Chesapeake Bay - june 25)
Off the Breezy Point Marina, I fished for 1.5 hours for spot for live-lining. I did not catch any fish on fish-Bites. I guessed spot are not in yet in the western shore, MD. I trolled for 4 hours without luck. I monitored the FF while trolling. So I knew where croaker would be.
So I fished for croaker near the Green Can, I caught 15 croaker at 13-14.5” on cooked salad shrimp for 1.5 hours.
Here is my fishing log:

I love croaker fishing! They hit and fight hard for their size! I am looking forward to another PLO trip soon, hopefully the croaker will stick around.
Looks like you had a nice calm day on the water, can't beat that!

Another reminder that I can't catch a white perch worth keeping at Beaverdam. Though Monday I did get one to take a relatively large crankbait that I was trolling. I didn't even realize I had a fish on.

It is funny you mentioned Redfish. Somehow I always thought Croaker is Poorman's Redfish because of the strength and its fight even though they taste different.
