Go one STINK,
Mulv. The HAy STacks are a great place to fish. Also called the Ice Breakers. Half a dozens of rock piles that stick up at of the water. Just outside the breakwater wall in th eBay. They nailed alot of craokers and flounder there yesturday.

how big are yall average croakers up there?

A .75lber is a huge one here. We only use em for bait, but I here the big uns are good eatin.

[Mulv80]

I'd say they average around 2lb. They are good eatin but there aint a whole lot of meat on them. For a 2-3lb fish they only yield a small fillet.

I can imagine..a 3/4 lb ground mullet is big enough to eat here, but not the same # croaker.

I bet they are scrapy fighters at 2-3lb though...even a small croaker has some punch to me. When I accidentally catch a 3/4-1lbish croaker I always think I got a decent speck till I get him up. :o

Lke HAMMER said they are the breakers at the Delaware bay entrance, closer to the Delaware side of the bay.

Got their name because they look just like piles of hay bales sitting in a field.

Parishht,
You been in the Bay lately ?

[msbhammer]

Debating if I should go and work overtime today or take the boat out. ??? ??? ??? ???

[msbhammer]

Screw it, the bills can wait. Have a half tank of gas I need to burn. Going back out. ;D
Gonna washer quick though. White boats get dirty quick. Finger prints and scuff marks from working on her.
