Keeping croakers alive.

I always fish with live shrimp, but more and more people are fishing with live croakers these days. Is it any harder to keep croakers alive than live shrimp?

I find them easier to keep alive than shrimp. A rounded livewell is better.

Keep the water cool and don’t mix bait.
Cheaper to cast net mullet, they need to stay cool also.
I don’t have a recirculation pump, bubbler only and keep bait alive all day.

I have a square livewell with a bubbler and have no problems keeping them alive. I do like to periodically pump in some water to the livewell through the day though.

I always found freezing a bottle of water and through in live well.

Croakers are way easier to keep alive. It really isn't even close

If you are talking about right now, i agree croakers are more heat tolerant than shrimp. If you see a dead one toss him out, if you have an overflow livewell keep the water changing out.
I don't know if I'll agree that croakers are overall more hardy than shrimp, outside of the summer months shrimp will keep in wet moss for days.
