I would like a spot if the date works.......just wondering

I already have a boat load, official or not we will do toggin some weekend.

lets do it up. how about sunday October 27th. for the uninitiated - a bunch of us with boats get together and hammer on tog pretty good. if you have a boat bring it and if you need a ride, sharpen your hoing skills (booze ,crabs and food get rides) and find someone who's willing to take you. it's a good time

Where you thinking?

Gotcha covered.

last couple of years we launched out of fairhaven and meet up at the spot

Gotcha covered.

Excellent! Thanks Chris. Figure out gear and food as we get close.

Great, count me and Jeff in.

Just a thought....

Togfest should include a post fishing social event at a local restaurant/bar/etc some place we could pull our boat up to and hang with each other for a while, share a beer and regale our days adventure. Just for an hour or two..perhaps falmouth, woods hole, New Bedford, Fairaven? (When I am fishing with my buddies on nantucket we usually end up at the anglers club afterwards and it is a lot of fun.)

Yes, Temptations.

ugh, patriots/dolphins in Gillette that day. i have to retract my statement, I am probably out.

Im gonna try and make this. Not 100% though. If so i can fit another guy. Id be trailering the seacraft from Attleboro if that closer for anyone.

ramps, baitshops and the vfw is about all I know of down there

it's a good time, try to go. one thing we need to do this year is anchor up closer together - it's much easier to bust balls plus dangles usually puts on a show. i'll take my boat if it's flat but it never is so i'll need to ho a ride from someone. we need more boats

Ill be trailering my 20' Seacraft. We might pound but it'll get out there.

goose goes in his 17', but he's not right

There is a restaurant next to CMS I think it is called fathoms. We might be able to dock there while we eat... I have been there a couple times but not via boat. But there might be something more convenient along one of the marinas there. Temptations is a stip club across the street

There is a DD with a huge parking lot & restroom! Closer to the strip joint....also not that far from CMS, but I think CMS parking lot is able to handle trucks/trailers. Not for from docks either.

Fathoms is the restaurant next to CMS thats what I was thinking of thanks. Mind is starting to go I was just there this past Saturday :(

BTW Niko has a history of picking weekends with 3-5's so best choice is week before or after! hahahahahahahahahahahaha

goose goes in his 17', but he's not right

Its an 18' for your information:fishslap:

I like this idea. Davey's locker is located in the south end of NewBedford, it has a ramp within walking distance. If Sandman feels comfortable leaving his rig on anchor in front of Davey's he could get shuttled. There is also 3 other ramps that are very close to Davey's, one which is in Fairhaven.

Theres also a good ramp in Padnarum. The Black Seabass which is near the bridge. I have a buddie who has a mooring in padnarum, good chance he has pulled his sail boat by then... I ll find out.

Just throwing couple ideas out there.

are you tog fishing in the shipping lanes this year buzzy or are you actually going to fish with us this year

are you tog fishing in the shipping lanes this year buzzy or are you actually going to fish with us this year

I go where the tog are!

I'd certainly pay for gas and bait if someone could fit myself and my baby brother into their boat. Unfortunately, mine will be asleep for the winter at that point.

LMK,
Thanks,
Rick

If I can host the Bombas my season will be complete. Fathoms is great but under the bridge for Popes Island which could be a pita. If we were to launch from Westport the Back Eddy is at the ramp(which is outstanding)and we are close to great togging. Plenty of space for Sandman there also.

Any room for fatboy?

I'd like to get in on this again if I can hitch a ride with someone.

I go with cohen. Boy can slam taug. Back eddy/ westport is best option
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Westport and the back eddy sounds like a good spot. a place for sandman to tie up is ideal. just so everyone is aware there are some rockpiles outside the river so pay attention if your not familiar with the area. looking forward to this. jeff (fish4strper) is in and i'm riding with him. we need a few more boats so even if you've never togged before join in. I think this is the 4th year of togfest - the bite is outstanding and it's a lot of laughs

back eddy, ooooh, that looks nice. First round is on me. (Even if I can not make it!)

http://www.thebackeddy.com/

What is the date on this event ??? I want to stake this space on my calendar so I don't get overruled by upcoming family stuff.

So now Westport is launch site? No big deal for me just have to know to let crew know.

lets try Westport buzzy, the back eddy is right next to the ramp. it will be cool to hang out after beating on the tog. the date is sunday oct 27th sandman

we togged for a few hours today

What a great day to get out there. Started out at the mouth of buzzards bay, the morning was very slow,, other boats did the same. Headed back and fished where they where stacked last weekend(in tight), dry same chit. So fished the afternoon bite half way out in 33' of water and the bite couldn't have been better... thought for sure I'd break double digits. Nope.

Good seeing you out there this morning T-
Looks like you picked up a passenger :kewl:
I guess that's what it takes to get fish in that boat.
We didn't find them stacked in their usual haunts, but got our fixins just the same....BEAUTIFUL DAY OUT THERE....never really wanted to come in

i think i am back in. will listen to the game.

Long range forecast generally suck BUT looking at next Sat looks windy, like this whole week except for Monday.

http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/buzzards_bay

What time are we looking to meet up? Weather will be a factor, but as long as it is going to be productive, I'm in. I've fished uncomfortable with WPM, Cohen, and Timber this year, but we realized we should have adjusted our plan of attack for the conditions... This is your neck of the woods, so I'm depending on you locals to make the calls.
Chris, I will be driving down that morning, so what can I bring? Shops don't stock the crabs up this way, so that is not a good assignment for me.
Looking forward to inspecting the Sandman sled.

If it blows hard...we should postpone. The more guys than can participate the better time it will be. It needs to be safe and fun for guys in 20'ers. Hopefully it will be FAC. But IMO the call to postpone should not occur until a couple of days prior... No offense to weathermen out there but unless it is a hurricane....any forecast beyond 48 hours is usually a total crapshoot.

I will be there unless I get a tuna or canyon invite that I can not decline (doubtful). I plan bringing the crew from #^&#^&#^&#^&s B&T, they asked me if togfest was going to happen this year... and I said yes I think it is. They want to go. Togfest is becoming a notable event!
(Fishing the monster shark or Nantucket billfish tourney this year?....No, I am fishing Togfest!) :biglaugh:

I have a bushel of crabs at my dock and I am feeding them a few bunker every week. The crabs are pumped, I want to tog. I may try a this week around my 'hood to get my gear ready if the weather permits. I think Mrs. sandman is working next weekend so I will she will just have to read about it in the fisherman magazine. I am looking forward to the after party as well, these can be as fun as the fishing event as you get to hang with other tog-fanatics. Someone should probably call the restaurant and give them a heads up before 20 tog fisherman barge in.

Talk to Cohen. He has a 20 footer. It will be on unless it's a solid 4 plus. Don't have to go far at all for good togging. As far as the back eddy we will be fine. Just be ready for an expensive menu with no sandwiches or burgers. My advice is to pack some food and use the back eddy for a hang out and a few beers.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Ross,I have gear and bait covered so no worries there. I also have room if a couple want to hop on or a larger vessel is needed. Anything with an N should be good for a forecast. Hoping to get out this week to see where they are hiding,no real need to go to Ribbons but I am up for whatever. The Eddy will be happy to accomadate us and they have great chowder and stuffies as well as a good fish sandwich or pulled pork to gnaw on. It is pricey but most decent places on the water are. Jim,you are welcome to keep your boat on my dock as I think the slips at the end of the Eddy dock are still taken but you might be able to squeeze inside.Current and wind direction can make maneuvering a little difficult at times. Looking forward to a nice day on the water and some tog battle!

Looks like im a NO on this. TO bad was looking forward to it too.

First long range into Sunday, worse than last year's weather for Togfest.

So I haven't posted to SB in years, but know a few from other places. The Jenny Lee (24' RoMarine Offshore) will be attending with crew of ATG and brother, linesider69, flik-nDip and Dad. I think I know where to launch from, but after that, I am lost. Can anyone PM me with GPS etc? I will read through the thread, but what VHF are we all using?

I hope the weather holds out.

- ATG

First long range into Sunday, worse than last year's weather for Togfest.

Forecast from Tuesday PM looking out to Sunday still hasn't changed much.

Used to tog a lot out of Westport in my Dad's 20 foot Grady about 20
years ago. A word of advice; I don't recommend anyone going around Gooseberry
Point in anything smaller. Not sure what the wind is like this time of year; doesn't
quite sneak up on you in mid-day like during the summer, but still could change while
you're out. If you're on the other side of Gooseberry, you can have a hellacious time
getting around it in a smaller or open boat if the wind/waves pick up. Choose your
spots and times carefully.

yeah the forcast is looking fugly so far. lets watch it and make the call on Friday. if it's not too bad we can hide inshore. Terrence - i'll be in touch, forcast will dictate where/if we fish

Forecast right now is saying SW winds wich are not favorable for fishing out front of westport. We may want to launch from fairhaven like we usually do and fish out in front of padanaram and hide from the wind. I've been fishing that area lately and doing real well. Sunday 42 keepers to 10 lbs.

Just a thought....
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Skippy & Joe & friend keep your fingers crossed! 🚣

First shipment of crabs to my local shop came in a large, what looked like a 100 lb. bag. Mostly large critters and smelt somethin bad. 😝

Picked some up today, no stink but tiny. Is tiny good or bad? Does it matter? Do ya still halve them? Going out mañana.

that's a good idea cohen, any ideas where we can meet up afterwards if we fish out of fairhaven - someplace that has some parking for the trailerboats

Niko let me do a little homework on the resturaunt situation maybe the waterfront grille im not sure if they have a bar. ill call the resturaunt tomorrow and see of they can accomidate us by boat and parking for traillers. As for the fishing heading out of fairhaven I think is best bet weather wise and fishing the water temps are in the low 60's still and gives the fish no reason to be on the reefs at the head of the bay yet. there still inshore in 20 to 30 ft.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

small are fine. trim the legs and cut a little corner of shell or give them a little smash with a sinker

Mouth of BB is looking sloppy.

Sun (for RI sound) for now.
W winds around 15 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. A chance of showers.
Sun (BB itself) for now
W winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 25 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. A chance of showers.

Tell me where you guys want to fish and I will meet you guys there... PM me a set of numbers if you decide to fish anyplace else. Wherever you want to go is fine by me. Fishing inshore appears better now than at the outer reef. A buddy went day before yesterday and caught 50+ fish to 7.5# in tight to the beach near me. water temp is about 61 near me at the moment.

What about fathoms in NB near CMS? I think I can probably find a place to tie up for an hour or two at the dock and the parking lot is big.

Sandman I think fathoms may be a good idea. They have their own floating dock and the guys trailering can park in the bobs sea and ski lot wich is fairly big. I'll give them a call today and see if they can accommodate us...
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Sandman can tie up at Fathoms but will have to wait for the bridge (1/4 past the hour) to open.

Lots of good fishy ledges and marked rky structure between 'West Island' (Fairhaven) and 'Mishaum Pt.'(South Dartmouth).

Tog fishing was as good as it gets yesterday. Twinkiefest for bass and a barely legal for tacos!

Yeah I went yesterday inshore by myself and had 25+ fish in 2 hours. most were 15-16" had about 8 or so good keepers and came home with 3 decent fish to about 6#

you mean Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr, air temp in the 40's!

Wasn't that bad yesterday,,, beauty of a morning. Too lazy to travel, launched from Yarmouth,,, waist of time😂

Jason Colby got a good one

Wow, that's a nice tog there!

Sunday forecast:

4'-5' no need to jig

yeah that forcast is ugly. you guys who know the area - will that area, NB to mishaum to west island, be safe enough to fish with all that wind?

Work on Sunday and take Monday off and fish then....

(just a thought)
Mon
NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 1 foot or less.

I am once again out. Not because of weather, but other commitments.

Just ordered a bushel of crab...that fish Jason got was weighed in at 14.75#!!!!!!!

West 10 to 15 with gusts to 20 is ok as long as we stay behind round hill point the point runs north to south and wind will be coming off the beach. You won't want to fish west island in that wind specially the out going tide. I fished in front of padanaram Sunday in NW 10 to 15 gust to 20 and seas were 2 to 3 ft. It's your call guys whatever your comfortable with. I know I will be fishing that area on sunday regardless if we do togfest or not.

Earlier this year my wife and I where anchored up on Negro ledge (about 3 miles east of Round Hill Pt.) in solid 2s-3s. Although she did fine my guts couldn't take it. We're in a 1851CC. Buzzards bay gets nasty anything S-SW-W expect to take a pounding especially out of the SW when its blowing straight down the pipe. In smaller boats I think you need to cut that distance in half to fish comfortably.

The BeeReel is OUT for Sunday, I am going Tuesday with 1ft'ers 10sec intervals. Anyone want to come? Here's the latest

That forecast sucks.... solid 4' to 5.

Working all day tmw on a building we had to stabilize with temporary walls inside, as the sills and first floor framing were totally rotted. Went through 200 2x4s....brutal. Job just became a structural nightmare. If how I physically feel after today is any sign of how tomorrow is going to go, I am probably not going to be up for those seas.

dropping like flies

I wonder if a launch from here and keeping to the west is doable 20' er

1480 E Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford, MA 02744
Schamochi Dock

Or is the ramp on Middle St. Up near rt 6,, across from the VFW Fort Phoenix Post 2892 just as protected?

Never ever been up that way, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night! Thank god for google earth LOL

I lost my crew but still thinking about it solo,,, if nothing else recon the ramps for Monday and or Tuesday .

No game tonight, Gup

Middle St ramp very protected and easy for solo launch, I have done it many times. No worry about tide stage.

we've been wishing the forcast doable and it's just not happening so lets do the right thing and postpone this till next weekend - nov 3rd. the forcast is being displayed in red which is never a good thing. if you have to ask yourself if its a good idea to go, than it probably isn't. the fish will be here for many weeks so let's try again with a little more civil weather hopefully. nov 3rd work?

Nov 3 Bradley and I can fish
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

That is a good call IMO...As is stands now...I could make it tomorrow but I would not look forward to crossing the mouth of BB in that slop. They are calling for gale warning sat night in RI sound.

The 3rd looks do-able for me as of right now.

Nov 3 Sounds like a good idea niko. I'm most likely gona fish Sunday because I can't help myself and I'm very comfortable navigating in 20 to 25Kt winds on the bay. I spend a lot of time out there and know exactly where,what tides and relative areas to stay away from. I will post Sunday night and let you guys know how I made out.

I injured my back on the jobsite yesterday, so would have been out even with FAC forecasts... Sucks. Can't shore fish, sleep, do anything.... went stir crazy yesterday. OD'd on college football. Watered the leaves on the front lawn, twice, for activity. Chiropractor knew I was in trouble when he saw me at his house at 0830. Very thankful he was home and took me.

damned forcasts. would have been fine

What a beautiful day on the water today. The tides were the weakest I've seen all year (3 ft at 8 hours long) so the bite wasn't great but we put in some work and got our limit. Hopefully we can catch a break for next Sunday. The tides should be better water colder and fish ready to eat.

I am scouting mid-week!

I am going squidding tonight and togging tomorrow .

Have a tuna trip planned for mid week... east, if the forecast holds. There are a couple guys on island that are still canyon fishing..they say it when the weather holds it is great (but they have the boat for it)

damned forcasts. :smash:

WAVES WERE 5-6 ALL DAY. NOT FEET BUT ACTUALLY ONLY 5 - 6 WAVES ALL DAY. OH.... AND A COUPLE OF BOAT WAKES TOO :uhuh:

I know, maybe we'll get lucky next sunday. after last years 9 hr steam to Hudson canyon i'm gunshy with the weather

Nice but where the tog chewin?

Tides were real weak buzzy so the bite wasn't the best so i had to really move around to some of my off the beaten path honey holes and got our limit. I think with the new moon tides coming next weekend and water temps dropping. the fish should be ready to eat.

Tog were chewin today but about 5-1 shorts-to-keepers. Nothing record shattering. Coxen's Ledge by the #2 Red can and Wilkes Ledge best producers.

My tracks are on marinetraffic.com and if anyone thinks this is spot burning FU !

Fishbones still has crabs too. You guys should hook up! He has had them for a few months now. I asked who he got them from but he's not sure.

Lmao! I don't think I can do togfest next weekend so I was gonna give you the crabs tomorrow. Unless of course you already got the Asian crabs.

Looks like I will be using all my Niko supplied crabs next Monday or Tuesday....weather sucks!

Goose and I are probably heading out Saturday instead of Sunday, looks to be a little more forgiving on the wind/wave forecast.

DAng, Bob...the way it's blowing right now....I pray to God it lays down a little for tomorrow. :fishin: ...doubtful, but wishful.

Even if it does lay down the water is gonna be really dirty....

I'm out for this Sunday, as I have a reservation for 1145 on the 1000 yard range.....:jump1:

It is a shame this got fizzled out by weather.Saturday the swell was treacherous and the water looked like coffee.The bite was affected accordingly. The fat lady is starting to hum but this week holds some opportunity. Wednesday looks good, if anybody wants in give me a shout.

I may give it a go tomorrow,,,, and then call it for the year :fury: so I can get some work done! :wall:

I'm hittin it tomorrow in RI for what is likely my last trip.

I will be out on Wilkes Ledge tomorrow.

The bait I have on hand is looking pretty tough,,,
All the shops between me and M&D's (no answer tely) are out of crabs (or didn't carry to begin with)
Any ideas for me between canal and Fairhaven? Would much appreciate 🐟

Kippy and I launched around 8am today at the slack high tide. Fished the outgoing on Wilkes Ledge and Coxens Ledge, couldn't buy a bite today. Guppy apparently had better luck earlier before tide chang.
