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...
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...
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
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...
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.
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.
While my October schedule is completely full for North Fork Togging, I still have some daters available in November. One, in particular is a rare weekend opening on the 1/4 phase moon for 2 spots, Saturday November 1.
Those who sign on will have the pleasure of fishing with a couple of my most...
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!!
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...
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...
I spoke with Paul this past Wednesday and he did say that he and Rachel will be running another boat in the Peconic's and Sound soon. He hopes to be up and running for Tog sometime next month.
Looking better all the time,.Matt
With a month to go before your southern migration, I assume you will make at least one Tog trip. After all, you need to enjoy the fruits of all that labor!:D
The obvious problem here, is that Roccus does real science and statistical analysis. Our fisheries managers are a bunch of hacks too lazy to change their ways and do some real, hard work.
Sorry for the late reply but I had been fishing the last 2 days. I did listen in on the NY meeting via the Webinar format this past Wednesday evening. Before I go into more detail, I will quickly say that based upon Hartattack’s report, the NY meetings discussions and outcome were essentially...
