    Broke Two Rules Today

    Typical mob scene on opening day for Tog. Actually I was very fortunate to hit just the right rock. Most of the boats around me seemed to be in the same situation as yourself with lots of smalls and very few keepers. Caught all my nice fish today on the first drop. Then it was 99% shorts...

    Captain's Table- Sea Bass to Tog

    Friday’s chilly start set the stage for my last Sea Bass half day charter for this season. Jane and her family make the Columbus Day weekend an annual event and the fish are usually pretty hungry. Yesterday was no exception as over 50 Sea Bass hit the deck on a CT deep drop but only 8 keepers...

    So today I came out, my south shore fishing is done. But I did pick up three bushels of Greens for blackfishing north shore

    Looks like you are enjoying retirement to the fullest. Way to go, Vinny! See you next week.

    Scouting

    Smart move doing some prospecting for future trips. One of the subtle tricks not enough fisherman use. Can't wait to put a few bends in the rod for the "Legend" on my boat in a couple of weeks. Tell him to hit the gym, just to be ready!!!:D

    Finally made it out to Peconic Bay

    Glad you made it out to Southold on such a beautiful day. Indeed, no time of year can match the consistency in numbers and overall size as the May/June bite on Scup in the Peconics. There are still some quality fish to be caught in the fall, but they are not as widespread as the Spring and it...

    Green crab soup and climate change

    Several years ago, they used to sell a "T" shirt at "Wego B&T that read: "In Southampton they call it Sushi. In Southold we call it bait" I think that applies here.

    Lots Of Sorting

    I agree with Kevin's observation. You have been at this game long enough to help tilt the odds in your favor more often than not! Thanks very much for sharing, John.

    I assume you were working the Gut for the Bass and Blues, John. If so that's more life than I have seen there in over a week. Well done!

    Garmin vs Simrad

    Plenty of time to fish FL this winter. You need to hurry back up north and christen that beautiful vessel with some Tog!! Only 10 days until it's "game on" in the Sound and 14 days for the South shore crew!!

    Captain's Table - Summer Like Fall Day!

    I have not tried for Weakfish for the last 2 weeks but there were still some around last week from what I heard. However, they are starting to thin out. Porgies should be around until about the first week or two of October but by that time everyone is Tog fishing. If you can get out there this...

    Captain's Table - Summer Like Fall Day!

    Had the Joe party of 4 join me today with some magnificent summer like weather for a 6-hour combo trip. Primary targets were Seas Bass and Bluefish. On a flat Sound headed straight to my favorite CT side Sea Bass drop and the action on the end of the ebb to the change to flood was nice and...
