sunday October 25th. if you've got a boat bring it to fairhaven at 7ish. if you need a spot on a boat - start begging and calling in favors. pray for decent weather. for the uninitiated - a bunch of us go out in the same general area and have a bunch of laughs and catch a bunch of tog. it's a good time and we try and accommodate as many non boating S-Brs as we can

If anyone would so kindly have Tyler and I on their boat I will bring anything we will need.

Let's hope it's a good one Paul. DATE
Andy, you two more than welcome, my son Chris will be along also.
You really don't need to bring anything but I am fond of Dewars, lobster rolls and home made apple pie. ;-) LOL

Me and The Kid - groveling for a ride :kewl:

Need to make one of these.......

I'm in if I can catch a ride with someone.

My 12 year old and I are in if we can get a ride. I have gear.

My son and I are in and looking forward to round 2 of dogfish tossing!

BeeReel and I are out this year, wishing you guys the best of weather, catching & FUN!

Hoping I can make it on a buddy's boat. I have been togging closer to home. Miss the reef.

What is the MA> rec limit per person a day ????:fishin:

Three at 16"

max limit of 10 per boat ?????????

My boat is coming out Wednesday. I have a bunch of surf trips planned so I'm out.

This is a great trip. I miss it big time. Please take/share some good pics and above all have a safe and fun day!

Ross, if you go, I could use a ride and would LOOOOOOVE to go back out on one of these. I'm still on some pills, so can't drive until November (for the Bell's Palsy). If you want to go, I will pay for gas. I'm relatively sure that if we were a package deal (sounds so cozy), that someone would oblige with some boat room.

LMK or call me.
Rick

when is this shindig?
if it is FAC I could take my skiff, I have not had it out yet this year

anyone wanna buddy up with kayaks?

Sure had fun last year, will try to go this year. May be able to go with same guy,
otherwise may need to hitch a ride. Anybody got space, send me a P.M. Will bring
gas $$$, bait, brews if needed.

Quick memo to Joebagss99. I 'yak for togs in BB and would love to go out some time,
if you know somewhere near shore to try. May be down that way next weekend,
in fact. However, togfest usually goes out a distance into non-yakable areas;
should try to hitch a ride with someone.

:hidin:

If anyone needs any big fish dropped at the rail let me know :( Happy to help cover expenses fuel, bait, ice etc

I also know a sinker guy ;)

Went looking down that way today,,, some cold this morn Brrrrr.
By the time I found them thick, got late and blew up... Strange wind today,, hoping Sunday works out

Kind of depressing getting to the boat to find ice on it already....but it doesn't take much to get your spirits back up.

Me and the old' man went feed some greenies to some blackies and were pleasantly rewarded.

There is still plenty of fishing to be had!!! Hoping the wind cooperates for Wednesday!!! :humpty:

Good luck to all that go. Please be sure to take some pics.

Nice tog bloocrab!

Blackfish are in shallows right now and all we need is a jetty or shallow reef to catch. I'm game for Kayak or Boat where I can bring jigs.

Currently, the forecast is winds SW at 15 for Sunday. Hate to say it,
but that could mean pretty big waves at Fairhaven, probably at or too
large for 19-20 foot boats to go out. Need to check this carefully, maybe
slip it a week if it looks bad.

Memo to JoeBaggs: have a great near shore yakable spot, but can't do it
in a SW wind (on the north side of BB). Give me a PM if you are interested.

I was out in western LIS on saturday and the tog were spread out between 6-30 feet of water. We used green crabs for the first 6 hours then pulled out the stash of hermits. OMG they love those things. Everyone of them caught a fish. We got them free but they are worth their weight in gold.

Ain't nobody fishing sunday, good forecast for an asswhopin
Swap it to saturday
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

If it gets changed, hoping for Sunday next week. Might want to put a quick poll
out here if we need to change it, see what people want to do.

i'm out this Sunday. If anybody has a boat for Hq2, please help him get a ride.

Thanks

Zac

sun looks crappy. we'll see how the forcast shakes out. prob w/doing it later is a lot of guys winterizing pretty soon. I may take the kids saturday

I'm probably going to get out Saturday if the weather holds, Sunday looks like a no go in my boat?

We don't need to go crazy off shore for tog ,we can stay inside the barriers for tog,no?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Just an FYI .....swells were really big out that way today.
Unless they simmer down for the weekend, the wind is going to blow them up.

Stay safe everyone!..........better to side with caution then prove a point or simply have a poor outing.

Another trile run today and landed on the mother load,,,, deep water,,,,, sooooo good eating

Luv to go but looking iffy

looks like the marine forecast now showing 1' or less in the afternoon on Saturday between the wind change.

Anyone know where to find the current change data for BBay between New Bedford and Cutty?

Navionics app. On a smart phone. Best 20$ you'll spend. It can also be used as a back up chartplotter.

doesn't seem like we have too many boats involved this year and Saturday looks pretty good. i'll be heading out with my kids sat. fairhaven launch mid morning. niko/deep thinker on ch 68. if anyone needs crabs- I've got an extra bucket of them

Have fun; catch some togs for me. Will have to settle for a little
freshwater action over on the Deerfield on Sunday. Hey, I can deal with it.

Looks like the Gail Force with Andy and kid on board will give it a shot

I'm launching out of Taylor Point around noon and will move south until we find them. Probably starting around Marion to Mattapoisett, depending on the crowds. Wife's competition on 68 or Liv2. Catchem up!

Launching around mid morning in Fairhaven heading towards cutty depending on how calm it is.

Hope you're all catching out there and the weather is good. Can[t wait to see the pics. Wish I could taste a little tog chowder but I'll have to just hear how good it was and use the old imagination while I spoon a can of snows clam chowda.

Good luck!

Declining Togfest and a Bluefin trip...argģgg.
To many personal chit going on,why does life get in the way enjoyment? !?!?!
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Me, too. Unfortunately, my back is dictating my social calendar. I think I got something in me for some hard water fishing this year. We'll see.

Ty took a picture of his Dad with real monster, let's see it

Yes! Tog porn please!

TOG Nr0P?

I didn't get many pictures at all unfortunately, Ty didn't get any of the fish either. My camera is home, I'll post the ones I did take later. But I can give a quick recap. Guppy, thank you very much for having us on board we had a great time.
We headed out about 9:30 and fished a spot Guppy had some success at earlier in the week. Of course different day and tide produced slow results. We had scattered small fish. Tried a few more spots with the same results, inside was slow everywhere for us. We got in touch with Paul and Dan they were doing much better so we headed out to meet them.
We got out to where Paul was, from a distance it looked like he had an 8' round pumpkin on board for the Halloween season but as we got closer I realized it was just Skippy wearing orange grundens.:hihi: They were on a mix of fish from smalls to keepers. Right as we got there Skip was on, Paul had one and the high hook of the boat Domenic hooked up after them! He clearly inherited his mother's fishing skills as he hooked up a few more times while we were next to them. It was great watching him catch, reminded me of when Ty was young. We started catching, a few smalls then Guppy and I got a few decent fish. Ty seemed to have the short fish blues all day. He couldn't get a keeper to bite.
After a while Dan came over to where we were. They had fish too, at one point his Mom and Dad were each on fish. That was great to see.
Overall we had an excellent day. Can't thank Guppy enough for having us.

we had some fun out there. dominics been having a good year

Great pics, nice boats.

Sorry we didn't connect with you guys, we got out later than expected.
We did see the seals though...:(

Sounds like Angler229 got his parents out there too!! That's AWESOME man, enjoy your parents as long as you can.

It was a great day out there...weather-wise, water-wise, total package. Would have been nice to bust stones amongst you Togfesting delinquents though...but perhaps next time. Me and dad stayed in closer and managed a few piggies.

"from a distance it looked like he had an 8' round pumpkin on board for the Halloween season but as we got closer I realized it was just Skippy wearing orange grundens." - Hilarious. No offense meant.

Bloo please lower the camera or have the Dad raise that tog next time. Nice fish! Want to see the whole enchilada!

Nice pair for the junior Paul!

Thanks for sharing. I can taste em through the computer screen!

Out of westport today, pulled 50 up to get 3 good size keepers,,,, guess what's for din din :-)

We had a great time. After a slow start off of Marion, We moved to Nye's off Mattapoisett and started hitting shorts. After the tied started moving, we managed a few 6 pounders. This is Lily, my oldest and her pal Lucas. Not sure why it won't post upright.

The highlight for me was me trying to get my hands on the tog in the live well so we could take the pic. Lucas stopped me and said "these are the easiest fish to hold. They have this hole under their tail that you can just stick your thumb into and it's like they're paralyzed. Then you just hold them by the gills with your other hand". I wasn't able to get a pic of the patented hold but had a good chuckle.

Tried to raise you guys on the radio from Nye's but no luck.

I went out with Paul, Throwing Timber, and another guy last year. I am from CT and it was a blast. I cannot believe how hard I laughed at this "hold" for the tog....and chewing gum. You guys are way tooo funny. Hope to be able to make it next year. Have been out locally and did "ok"....still a lot of the season to go.

Ah Hm

I've been dreading this thread. I'm still winterized and shrink-wrapped from last year…Stupid life challenges….Lets get some dates going. I'll figure out the boat thing…I'll never hear the end of it from my oldest if we miss this. Niko, Can I get in on the crabs this year if you're spreading them again.

I will be watching for a Togfest 2016 thread..... No boat fishing this weekend, so maybe a good time to set a date? What tides do you want to schedule around? Is Columbus Day weekend worth looking at? If it were a Saturday we wouldn't have to consider a Patriots game.

Yeah,
Mine went to the fields early this year. Lost one hub, barely got the thing in #^&#^&#^&#^&y's driveway.

I think we usually do this the last Sunday in October. It's the 30th and I can probably do that day.

If not the 22nd and 23rd are open for me, too.

Why don't we do this on Saturdays?

Just wondering,
Thanks,
Rick

It's been a warm fall. I'm thinking later works better (plus I have another striper trip planned in mid October). Last weekend in October?

Pick a day and get it put together gup. I've got a bunch of #^&#^&#^&#^& going on. I'll trap a bunch of crabs for u guys and if I'm available I will be there

Fish Raptor (Bernie) could use a ride if anyone has a slot.....

Sooner we set a date, the better for me to block off the calendar....
