Croaker Landing, Friday

[desllc04]

The wife and I went to the York river and put in at Croaker landing. We motored across from the landing and up river a bit, then dropped anchor. We started fishing around 10:30 AM which was about 2 hours before high tide. We brought home 19 keepers with the largest 14". All were caught on frozen shrimp and squid with a few on Fish Bites. Never tried that bait before but will have to say it is far better then throwing away a half dozen of blood worms at $12.00 a dozen.

Great news!!!! Getting the boat ready to spend some time with my boys on the water.

What size anchor do you use? mushroom or fluke to hold on the York I hear the current is pretty strong

Thanks for the report, hopefully they'll still be biting after this cold spell

The days of a "dozen" bloodworms ended a while back,now you only get "10"_

We buy our bait from at shop on Williamsburg Road in Sandston, Va., Popes Bait and Tackle. His packages of blood worm have a dozen in them and of course his has different tiers of prices according to how big and nice you want the worms. But as it usually goes, when you buy the nicer worms the fish want the other baits you have to offer. Murphys law at work. Glad that I found and tried the Fish Bites, they really do work well.
