Now is the time for the croakers, and they stay around through the summer. Big ones are being caught now in the rivers around the bay. There is currently no bag limit on croakers. You can get individual saltwater licenses for $7.50 or a boat license that covers anyone aboard. (I'm not sure, but I think its around $35.00) Most of the local tackle shops sell licenses, but you may want to check the VMRC website for more info.
