    Captain's Table - Tog Bite Rolls On

    Five more windy days and finally a chance to fish again today with my long-term regulars John and Ricky, joined by newcomers George and Spiro. The moderate NW breeze meant another trip across the Sound to my reliable CT drops. With only about 90 minutes of the end of the flood to work on the...

    Captain's Table - Tog Marathon

    It wouldn't be a good Tog trip if we didn't break off at least one really good one. That's one of the "joys" of Tog fishing that keeps us all coming back again and again!

    Captain's Table - Tog Marathon

    In between this falls nasty windstorms I finally enjoyed a 4 day stretch when we could hit the Tog grounds consistently. My four excellent crews all did their best to put very respectable catches in the boat each day. Starting last Friday, Matt and his 3 friends Anthony, Nick, and Mike joined...

    Nice going Vinny. Really hoping our opportunity will find better weather for next month's rescheduling.

    Rigs for Blackfishing

    Wow! For a piece of history like that the price must be very steep! I bet I could put 100 rod holders on that beauty!

    Peconic Start Fleet Closes

    I did not see this article but received confirmation from another North Fork Captain that this is indeed the case. While the larger and newer of the Peconic Stars vessels was sold to Frances Fleet in RI, it appears that Capt. Speedy is not out of business just yet. That's a good thing for the...

    Rigs for Blackfishing

    Some great advice listed above about going as light as is practical when it comes to using jigs. The trade off when going this light is you will feel more bites and eventually hook more fish, but the real challenge is how to stop them on the super light stuff. Regardless of your approach it is...

    Rigs for Blackfishing

    My new plan is to buy a skiff to tow behind the boat outfitted with another 50 rod holders. Do you think that will be enough capacity???:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    On my boat, and I presume many others, we always save the legs cut off the crabs during prep time and use them to "chum". While I don't think it is as effective as say sending down a frozen log of the target species desired food, it does seem to help to a certain extent. I also believe most of...

    There's nothing like a coat of ceramic!

    If this wind ever backs off and I can make some money this fall, perhaps I should speak to your son about doing my hull next spring.

    There's nothing like a coat of ceramic!

    Considering the fact that dark colored hulls always fade with only wax protection, this shine is amazing! Curious, but do you know if the results would be similar on my 22-year-old white hull that has some light oxidation?
