Are They really good to eat

Yes. Croakers are clean white meat.
Not sure about one that big though.
I only eat small ones. Fillets look like
tater chips.

Grand dad and his podnas used to catch them.....not quite like that, but big enough to fillet.
Good eating fish.
We have caught a few this summer big enough to keep at the mouth of Manchac pass and P-train......
That is a dang monster though.

Gulp catches them. I caught a ton of them on gulp fishing in v. bay. If nothing else is biting and I want some feesh,croaker stinks the pot just as good. :D |
LSU reef was full of Croaker a couple months ago.
Caught them on Sand Eels.

Yep, when the trout aint bighting I go to the Hammock in VB and put on a tiny jig head and a small piece of dead shrimp and its usually all the croaker you feel like cleaning. Last year i got home and took a 20lb. ice back out the boat full of croaker to clean. The wife came over and took a look and said I thought you were going catch specks and reds not bream:redface:. |
