Whitemouth Croaker fishing
About Whitemouth Croaker
A common schooling drum of the South American Atlantic coast, found over sand and mud in surf, estuaries and harbours, feeding on worms, crustaceans and small fish. It takes cut bait, shrimp and soft plastics fished on the bottom, often best at dawn, dusk and after a stir of surf. The males drum audibly, and the soft mouth means steady pressure beats a hard hookset.
Typical size: Typically 0.5 to 2 kg; trophy fish over 4 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 5 kg (varies by region).
