re: Live well - Keeping bait alive

Do croaker throw up like pogies? If so you need to purge the water a few times. I can't ever recall having problems keeping croaker alive but we have never had a bunch of them at once. I would think some ice would help keep them alive also.
I also wonder if shrimp may just be easier to keep alive than croakers. Shrimp may be heartier when it comes to boat rides and sloshing around?

Try to find out when you buy croakers when they were caught. If the trawl was pulled to long, most will die. But once a croaker lives for one full day at the bait shop, they stay alive very well. In my experience, unless the trawl was pulled for very short, you will lose at least half the croakers the first day. Try to buy "old" croakers and let the bait shop take the hit.
We can keep croakers all summer in a large bait well in the water as long as there is some oxygenation or tidal movement. We feed them fish eggs.
