Spicy tog filets for dinner last night,followed by a vat of tog chowder.

Toe Toe fishing is boring. Whats so exciting about haveing to set the hook hard on a 6# rubba lip. Then it "dig's like a hoe"(innocently, thats what my son says...cracks me up)and then fights to the top on slow action rod. Even in the sink at home friggen thing is still trying to get away. 10#'ers ....boooooring!!

you guys are tearing them up down there. looking forward to next weekend and my first tog of the year. was going to go down on wed but it looks like a tuna day if the weather holds out

headed out for tog tomorow. weather looks good and i haven't fished in weeks. can't wait

Good luck scouting it out. Let us know how you do

Must have been Marty :rotf2:

Marty and Niko can catch some fish. I've been with them when Marty schooled me a few times

back home...got limit, things slowed a little again at lunchtime and we took off...but we had a few good flurries of action. The largest I got 9.75 (on the scale at the tackle shop) not a bad fish at all fought like a somebitch and took some real serious drag.

Might go again tomorrow...

not the best photo...sorry had my iphone with a 6X zoom to get him in the viewfinder

Still early, but so far this weekend wind is looking terrible

What was the forecast? I saw 10-15 from the west. Didn't seem bad to me. Did you see something different?

I got out late and my usual spot was dead(no current).Went to find greener pastures but figured I missed it when I saw Sandman pulling anchor.Nice to meet Niko and RR.

Was that you??? Sorry I had to split....had to be home by 1:00 today. I saw you swing by Niko's boat. Did it pick up after I left? Usually it is rippin after I leave a spot:wall: The tide was dying when I left.

I may get to sneak out for a couple hours early tomorrow morning but I will probably just make a fuel run to falmouth.

15 to 20 predicted on Sat. not ideal where were were but still do-able.

nice to see everyone. nomad looks like a beast. sd - your rig is pretty nice too. took a limit of 8-10# fish. hell - even ronnie caught a few

Is that a hemorrhoid? :rotf2:




Nice looking fish Niko....:uhuh:

Awesome day ! Thanks Paul !
Niko was a tog catching machine & schooled me early on but I got the feel for it eventually ! (1st time ever for me)
Coming out of the harbor in the morning we saw the sword boat
"Eagle Eye 2" tied up on the docks, coming back in the harbor later in the day saw Capt. Scotty yacking on his cell from the stern of the boat.

Sandman, Love your boat ! Wanted Paul to run over for a closer view before we called it a day, but you left before us.

Anyone got any good recipes for tog and tog chowder ?

Saw him going through the ditch yesterday!

Good recipes on the New York Seafood Council site.

Awesome for Tog tacos with red pepper aioli sauce.

Pretty much a standard chowder recipe works like this:
Blackfish/tautog chowder - Spearboard Spearfishing Community

I'm always surprised the fish doesn't melt but it holds up well. Can't believe you've never been out toggin' :-)

Well I am glad you all caught fish!! I never tod fished except at Woods Hole years ago, so I got a big fat 0 :smash:

Was a cold start and a bit of wind and clouds to begin but what a great day it turned out to be!!!
I was down at Wings Neck, Cleveland Ledge, and up Marion area and not even a bump. But boat ran great and had a great time with my son and friend Kenny!!

Not like Boston harbor is the tog capital !

Whats up with this weekends Togathon? Is it still on? Who's in?

sunday looks ok. got alot of crabbies left
