Let's try for the weekend of Oct. 20. and 21st... I'll pick one after everyone chimes in with conflicts...
One of the two days will be the rain (wind) date..
Middle Street, Fairhaven ramp...

12 Pease St.
Fairhaven, MA 02719
United States

Sun up at 7:00 hi tide around 6 am , should be a good one!
Soooooo,,,6:00 - 6:30 show up and BS, then launch....

Ch 68

Jockey shorts on antenna (clean)

With slack around noon back to the ramp right after for bragging...

Maybe get lucky and the BFT fleet will get blown out and show up... joking guys,,, kill em

I'll stock pile bait and if there's enough interest I'll bring a grille for burgers after....

Once again, boat lurkers , man up, come along and take SB ers with ya, Togin is fun, right ?

I'll shake the boat tree soon and see who falls out... And don't try and hide.

Start ho-in early if you need a ride...

If you have never been out on this day with the group I highly recommend it. Wish I could make it. Togging is so much fun and the fish are absolutely delicious!
Typically, everyone catches fish and many more than one.

I will be trying for them this Saturday further south off the coast of CT in long island sound. I have no idea if there will be any down there but I sure hope so. Can't wait to introduce my son to tog fishing.

Good luck all!

Nothing has changed with me. I still wish to join in.
I see a lot of "ho's" but not sure if there will be enough boats to go around ?

Im in if I can go with someone.
chipping in for fuel and could bring some liquid refreshments for later
when we return to port, with or without burgers.

Just waiting for an echo....

We put a pounding on them sunday morning. Nothing double digits but about 8-10 fish from 6-8 lbs. We released a bunch of 18-20" fish. Nice to fill the freezer.

Can’t imagine the forecast changing enough to get out this weekend..

I’m officially bailing out, been dealing with torn rotator cuff muscles and a pinched nerve in my neck for evah.... getting old sucks...

My primary tells me today the X-ray says, call it quits for the year, and headed for an MRI.... Don’t mess with this he says....
Gonna listen this time.... :-)

I’ve put myself on a steady dose of Dewars til next April....

If u’s guys do it next weekend or any time for that matter , I’ve got buckets of crabs for ya,,,,

10-17-2018, 04:54 PM

Heal up Ray. I have to agree it does not look worth the drive for this weekend. Been an uphill battle all season....

fishrick
10-17-2018, 06:52 PM
Looks bad, and wind predictions, in my experience, are usually low....like today it was to be 10mph until 11am, it was 18 at 8:30am...yuck.

Anyone have tips for keeping green crabs alive. Got most of a bucket this morning and looks like will have to wait for Monday !

bloocrab
10-17-2018, 09:18 PM
Don't put water in the bucket, but layer the top real good with wet kelp.
Put in cool place, fridge even. Should be good for a few days

Remember, no water...

What Bloo said....

Frig or in shed this time year... the fresher the better they stay on hook me thinks...

I keep a holding pen next to the trap with a 3 hr. tide window,

I have kept crabs in a Home Depot bucket for 4 or 5 days before. Like Bloocrab mentioned its important to have no water as the water will get toxic with their waste in less than a day and quickly kill the lot of them. Last month I actually forgot a bucket of crabs I had shaded in the wood shed for almost a week and was shocked to find nearly all of them were still alive. If you know anyone with chickens, they love crushed little crabs (mine get a special treat every time I go togging)

Looks like a blow out up this way too.... 15-25 SW with gust to 35
Doesn't even sound like good boat hauling weather, but temps are headed lower all next week, so...… I hate it when the door gets slammed shut on a season.

Thanks Gup. I bailed on today. Could probably hide off of Marion or West Island but getting there would suck. Sundays are my only option with kids sports. might try to blow off a work day but can't next week.
