with the water temps lingering around 68 degrees we still seem to have some yellowfin croaker roaming around our local surf. The early marine layer kept them biting for a little longer than usual, they like low light so early am or just before dark can get these croaker schooled up and ready to eat. Pound for pound they provide great action on the fly and never disappoint anglers when they decide to show up…rumor has it my pops put hurt on them this morning, LOL…
