"Atlantic croaker is the major sport fish in the Galveston Bay area. "

croker are very good fish.they have very white meat and they freeze well.they are probably my third favorite behind flounder and crappie.

Croakers are delicious. Catching some big enough to eat can be a problem.

I dont know what type of fish a croker is but I eat Croaker. Cant wait for fall that when the bull croaker start running. I usually go to Rollover Pass and load the cooler up in no time.

Define "bull croaker". How big would that be?

yall frying or broiling them?

I've only eaten them fried.

fillet them or just gut and fry?

Have heard that croaker are very good eating. Would be interested in hearing more on this topic. How, when, and where. I suspect they run in the fall when other fish, much like both types of drum. Aren't croaker a type of drum? Would you fish w/some type of cut or dead bait? No clue as to what type of water/structure, jetties, piers, or channels.

We've caught them off peirs pretty good and jetties too. They take dead shrimp very well (I only use 1/2 a piece to make it last longer). They also eat your basic spec rigs under the lights and I like to add a small piece of dead shrimp or squid to the hook to entice them a little more. Fall is good. It's my understanding they are part of the drum family too.

Great info. Think I'll give it a try this fall around Rockport.

They are part of the drum family....along with spots, whiting, and trout too....

croaker r EXCELLENT eating if u can find some big enough.

would be interesting to hear from the people that voted they are Trash Fish
