Nice spot fin, haven’t caught one of those yet, but the yellow fin cousins love the 3/4 ounce kastmaster in sdbay.

We have Croker here in Texas too but is a different breed, more golden colored. I love catching the massive ones like this in the surf, great eating, great cut bait too

Exciting play by play when fighting the Croaker. I caught a 5lb. Yellow Fin Croaker in the surf years ago and now" 43 Years Later " I am reliving fun times when I was a teenager through your videos.

Caught a 5 lb sargo in bataquitos lagoon off a 4” big hammer with a spinner attachment on the jighead. Croaker and sargo pound for pound fight harder than calicos and spotties

Here is a story for you. I am a native of SD but now live in Ohio. When I was 19yo in 1972 I was fishing across from the VAcation Village motel across the blvd near what was then called the Atlantis restaurant. I was near the bridge one of my favorite spots on the rocks, not far from Belmont park. I was using a slip rig with a hge blood worm which I would buy at a bait shop back then not far from the old SDF sports arena. I caught a huge Spotfin I will guess close to if not 5 lbs. It was a lot of fun. Back in those days you could catch halibut at this location too. Another place I caught croaker was near the De ANza cove Hilton Inn casting onto the calm water towards Fiesta Island. They qouls bie early morning and late afternoon near dusk. I made a bait catcher from a kitchen dish drainer with screen around it and put bread inside of it and the smelt would swim inside so I used them for bait. Some guy my age now back then told me he caught a 6 ft tiget shark there but I didn;t believe him. We are talking 50 years ago. I love your videos and they make me miss home.

Dude! Thank so much for the input. I've fished SD for years with 0 luck. Now I know exactly what I've been missing. Much love and respect. Thank you sir 🙏✌🖖

Spotfin Croaker. Wonderful vid, Rodney!

[thomastoups]

Keep it. Eat it. Croakers are great eating!

This place is amazing Congratulations, *beautiful Fishing!* 🎣🐠🐟👍

[paulvincentpignotti]

I love fishing off the pier for croaker but every time a sizable spotfin comes along it breaks off right at the surface... any tips to keep them on?

[MasonTheTinyFishLord]

Nice vid bro! These croaker look super similar to the atlantic croaker I get here in Texas!

[frankiefernandez]

Nice tips. Bloodworms from Seaforth works great from PB Pier near the surf break.

I just caught 5 pound SPOTFIN croaker last month at oceanside pier. Using baby muscle

[jakea]

[gonzophoenixaz]

[raylondoford]

[pologrounds]
