Croakers

Fishing for Croakers on Maryland's Chesapeake BayCroaker Fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay

Atlantic croakers, also known as hardheads, are usually caught in the Chesapeake Bay and neighboring rivers and tributaries between June and August, usually in the evenings. They range between 9" and 18" in length, but often fight as if they're twice as big. They are known most for the constant drumming sound that they make, which can sometimes be heard before they are even pulled out of the water. Contrary to what a lot of people think, this noise is produced by the beating of their stomach muscles against their swim bladder, not by a set of loose bones inside their heads, which don't even exist. In addition to the Chesapeake Bay, these fish are found up and down the Atlantic seaboard, in the Gulf of Mexico, and all over the world, from South America to Asia. They are generally found in warm, tropical waters. Wherever they happen to be, they are almost always a bottom-dwelling fish. Bottom fishing with squid, bloodworms, or Peeler crab is the most effective technique for catching these fish.
