Wanted live croaker
 

Looking for live croaker bigger than 4 inches. Will pay top dollar call or text and I will pick up. 225-205-4724. Will drive to you anywhere 2 hours from lake Charles.

Somebody told me Jared Adams had the hook up. Not sure if it's true or not

When I use to come in the Spring to BL, you could load a cast net full of perfect size croakers for bait behind Grand Weir. Have they disappeared or what? I come in the fall now and don't seem to catch as many croakers in net but I'm not wanting them anyway.

I have called just about everyone west of the Mississippi and nobody has them. I got some last weekend in bridge city but wasted my money they were to small to produce any fish. If you have any numbers please message me.

Cocodrie live bait stands have croakers

Little far from lake Charles but good to know. Thanks.

maybe the Crab MAN IN CAMERON. Ive lost his number but somebody else might have it.

Bait shops in Galveston have them

I smell a troll.

Where are you getting yours?

Drove to Galveston yesterday from Lc got 144 really nice 4" croaker. 8 bucks a dozen. Woke up this morning to go fishing all dead. Using 20 gallon well with aretator and oxygen tank running on 1/8 the whole time. What happened?

Will this hold them overnight off the end of the dock? http://baitbaskets.com/products/bait...FZA8gQodB1sD7Q

100 degrees perhaps?

picked them up at 11:30 lost about a dozen by nightfall. Had them fully shaded and periodically adding frozen bottles of water. None of the water leaked. Added 1 at a time in intervals as not shock them.

Was that 20 gallons of Louisiana water or Texas water?

Texas water never changed from the bait shop. Did not want to chance adding our fresh water.

They were one day old at the bait shop. Looked great but they threw a lot of scales and foam. Culled dead ones and scooped out foam and scales frequently.

Probably died when they realized they were in Louisiana

I used something similar last year and the crabs cut into the net and I lost all the bait. However, this one does look stronger than the one I had.

guy named david has them by sabine

So you just drive around the lake yelling his name?

May work! Or you could use that little bit of info and do some research! Just a starting point i gave what i knew!

Lmao

There is a guy in Sabine lake that sells croaker
I catch mine myself using perch hooks and shrimp or cast netting them on the channel

I think crab man is out of business i know the previous owner has sold out and passed away

find a shrimp boat and work out a deal with them. Have meet them when they pull up nets. You can get more than you need.

Most of those are usually badly damaged baits, having been dragged on top of . Experienced guys who drag for their own croakers only pull for 5 minutes or so.

With all this croaker talk seems like a brutha could make a buck if he had a big livewell, some dead shrimp on a hook, some smokes, and some time!

Did anyone ever get a number for the guy on Sabine that had them? I will be looking for some next week

You just have to think like a croaker salesman and find him. He's kind of a nomad. Nobody really knows where he came from or where he's going next....
