    Captain's Table - Finally Tog Season

    Had a chance to do a little prospecting with my mate Tom today. Hit just a couple of local drops in the Sound for Tog and the action was red hot with multiple limits taken, ORL No real brutes yet but a couple of healthy fish in the 5# class. Bodes well for the start of my fall charter season...
