Why croaker as a game fish? Because of Specks? I grew up fishing and have heard this argument for years and the only folks that seem to want croaker listed are folks that don't agree with them being used as Speck bait because of the high catches.

I've never really been much for using bait although I'll sometimes use cut bait at night for Bullreds and sharks. Every now and then I will buy a pint of live shrimp for the surf but usually only if the water is chocolate milk and the waves are tearing at me. Well, I also use live bait off shore so I'm not anti-bait by any stretch of the imagination.
