    Fishing in a river near the coast. I have always hooked through the back and had problems with fish coming off and strong currents, saw this video and hooked one through the mouth, my croaker was then bit in half

    We like to hook them in the same spot, but below the lateral line. I think it encourages them to swim up as the weight of the hook pulls on them. This keeps them in the zone for predatory fish like trout and up out of the grass.

    Do you have any contributors from Georgia or North of Jacksonville but still below Charleston SC because the water in this area is especially dirty and a lot of these videos are helpful but some stuff is unique to South Florida

    Anyone have a problem of the croaker coming off the hook during the cast when hooked in the tail? I tried 2/0 and 3/0 circle hook.

      The tail isn’t a good place to hook them. They’ll drown and die. Hook them through the bottom lip then up through the nose, they’ll be able to swim and live forever until a fish bites them.

    where do you find these croaker bait fish?

      Use a smaller rod with less than 20lb line, hi lo rig, small pieces of dead shrimp on either a small circle or octopus hook. You catch them in the area you want to catch the big fish. They will nibble the shrimp a bit before taking a big bite and sometimes they bite as soon as the weight touches the bottom. Super easy to catch then rig them on a bigger rod for the reds, specks, and macks

    I’ve heard croakers eat trout eggs, so them big female “gator” trout will eat croakers up.
