I still see people fishing for them they aren't keeping them :) at least the guys i seen.... So is it ok to go tog fishing and just release them or no fishing at all till the 1st.

ANTHONY if you are fishing in MASS. there is no closed season on Tog. for rec. fishing size limit is 16" and 6 fish. Goose took BLOO and I to his Tog hideaway Sun. and I will have to say they where hidding real good we could not find a one:( Thanks for the great new place to take a nap Goose:laughs:

..:D.....I'm glad you said it, and not me......:eek:

...I'd post some pictures of the fish.....but......THEY AIN'T NONE!!!..:D....Goose will be Goose, he don't know NO spots...so don't get caught fishin' with em'......;):D (leave that to me )...GB, we schoolied em' again last night...no wind!!...


...and umm....Gentlemen, don't forget to put your orders in to China, for the new secret weapon.....


.....I just ordered 5 more gallons myself.....:) :happy:

small tautog been steady in my eel pots this past week//////////////

I have also gotten some confirmed reports of Tog in L.I. Sound, New Haven area. Big one's and lots of em - I gotta get in the water !

...ITS CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!.......


....THERE ARE TAUTOG IN RHODY!!!.....:af: :af: ....Just got back from a local haunt....6 people,... yes 6 people fishing for them!!!!!

...I asked if they knew the season hadn't started, they played dumb!...:mad:

....Looked in one bucket, 4 fish....FULL BUCKET! MONSTERS!!!...I was jealous!!!!.....Hurry up May!!!!.....

Bloo, I saw them there this Saturday. Most were on your side, but a few were on mine. They were there in full force on your side this afternoon about 1:00pm.


Where's Mr. Warden?

..he's at the local Run, making sure you don't take 25 herring.....:af:

Tattoo, Bloo Got cell phone? :D Your lettin them catch all my fish!
Need DEM on speed dial!


I like the portsmouth side best i know where all the holes are :) But it doesn't beat my little spot in Bristol and its not the narrows :p

...Anthony, it really couldn't have gotten much better.....the minute the crab hit the water........BANG!!....BITES!!....if these googs had a clue as to what they were doing, they wouldn't be breaking off on the bigger fishes...(wrong tackle)...

....they were scoring some MONSTERS, but the few I seen break off.....appeared to be DEMONS from the depths of NEPTUNE!!!...

...I gotta stay away from there until the 1st of May, its just too much for me to handle......seeing all that action, and not being able to take advantage of it...:smash: :smash: :af: :af:

...This lovely lady tipped the scales at 8.5 lbs. and was an even 24"..., not a bad specimen to kick the season off.....:D


...If you decide to do some Toggin', expect a lot of dead crabs...tis' the season when they do their molting....so they'll die quick sitting in the Baitshop holding tank....but they'll still work!!....and don't be afraid to flip some rocks...you'll be surprised at what you find....(check previous post)...


.....all in all, not a bad day, well over a dozen fish...and mostly all keeper size....(umm..did I mention, all in an hour and a half!!!)...:eek: YES, the action was awesome!!....I can't wait for May 1st!!!...I know a few spots in Rhody that are harboring FUGITIVES!!!.....:D :D :happy:

Nice Taug Bloo----Now don't give up your spots, but----boat or shore???????:confused:

DAMN nice fish bloo. I don't know any spots in mass that rpoduce tog like that so im stuck squiding and going for herring at the moment since the stripers are not biting in force yet. I can't wait for May 1st!!!

MUST... CATCH..... TOG....

Bloo - I wanna go toggin' with ya!

Congrats on the nice white chiner Bloo.....your given me the fever.

...thanks fellas, but I didn't do ALL the work....my new Rod kept her in line...or should I say ..."on line"....;) ...all things considered, my new Ben Doer, was a bit......(bent-over) :) ...and Specialist, that 7000CL worked like a charm...


Goose, you got the fever alright, you just don't have the antidote :p...worry not me boy, you showed me yours...so I'll show you mine.... :)

...JohnR, you did say "Tog-a-thon" didn't you ....let the festivities begin...:D

Anthony, don't sweat it...May 1st will be here before ya know it...and then I'll practically be living in your state..:cool:

......and Striper77, to answer you question.....I caught them standing on some rocks, similar to these...:D

Bloo my biggest tog (10 lbs.) came from shore about 50 feet from M&D's. I caught it on my Ditch Stick and didn't know what I hooked for a few minutes. Tasted good that night!

So how is this Tog Chowda I keep hearing about ??

...Not to get off this Tog topic....but, a certain "Hot Spot" is already full of dudes hefting their Livewells and filling their laundry baskets and heading down to the rocks....one of my informants tipped me off!!!....drove by it on his way to work....:eek: ...Oh boy, its gonna be tough to stop toggin'....:confused:


....I'll do like a blender......and MIX IT UP!~! ......:D

I feel an illness coming on maybe Wednesday... Cough, cough, Hack, hack (and like Bikk the Cat) Tphhpt!^%#$!

...Hot off the presses....


...Two fishermen busted this past week for taking Tog before May 1st in Rhody...:D:P:happy:


...the fine: $500.00 each!!!.....:D

Too bad for them. It would be great if the fisheries were abundant enough that there were no real rules or regs but we know that can't happen.

If you break the rules and get caught, no pitty from me....

24 hour brain tumor kicks in at 12:00pm Tuesday night. :smash:

Looks like a planned assault on TOGZILLA is in order......


Scooby Scooby Bloo, where are you? We got some toggin to do now.....:D

Breakfast is served.....

I was under the impression the season didn't open til 5/1 in RI, unless of course these were taken in waters other than RI in which case jsut ignore me and i'll slink away back to the lurking shadows :-)

Mass is open now for 'Tog. Rhody doesn't open until May 1st
