    Lep's Flea Market

    Hi Steve, Assuming our weather forecast holds you will have a chance to fish the rod in actual real-life conditions. If you already have a reel to pair with it by all means, bring it along. If not, I can loan you a 3000 class Shimano Spheros that has been its companion. Looking forward to a...

    Offshore Wrecks

    A lifelong friend of mine is a hard-core recreational wreck diver and has been diving with and worked as a mate for both Dan Berg and another famous dive Captain, Steve Belinda of the Wahoo. At my friend's son's wedding I was fortunate enough to be seated at the same table as these 2 well...

    Captain's Table - Tough Tog Bite

    Took advantage of this week’s one day window to run a charter for Tony and his 2 friends Carl and Alex. Originally had planned to head east but the lingering northerly breeze in the morning and a sloppy Sound had me going back to my old reliable CT drops. Set up on the 50’ reef for end of the...

    You look a little chilly, Matt! I would think a nice Tog like that would warm you up considerably. :D All kidding aside looks like you guys had a banner day. Well done.

    Great job, Pete. Really happy to see you find some better-quality fish. You certainly have paid your dues to put together a nice catch today. I too am praying the next weather window is longer than a few hours long and Thursday will work east end or west!

    Offshore Wrecks

    Anyone who fishes Tog regularly with traditional ground tackle understands the feeling of a lump in one's throat each time you drop the hook! I have one spot on the CT side of the Sound that always produces well for me but along with it comes the ever-present risk of donating an anchor on days...

    Congrats on what appeared to be a very good season for you John. Enjoy the Holidays, rest up, stay healthy, and come back strong next spring. Looking forward to seeing you out there again come May!

    Are you hanging it up for the season or still fishing?

    Brutally windy fall and only 1 charter run for November so far. Looks like I will get in Saturday. Long range forecast actually looks good for middle of next week so if it is even close to the prediction I will run as many consecutive days as the weather allows. I too typically go until the...

    Short Weather Window

    Nice going, John. I'm jealous as I was supposed to run a charter today and last night my customer tells me he thought he was fishing with me next Saturday and was on his way to Vegas!? So, not wanting to burn a lot of fuel and sailing solo I headed back into the bay and sorted through about 50...

    Current and Blackfish

    I believe Kona makes an excellent point; Current speed is not only dependent upon the stage of the tide cycle but the actual location you are fishing. Some inshore, well protected drops will have a fairly slow current flow even at the maximum velocity of the current as related to the portion of...

    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!
