Truly a great tIme. Thank you Sandman. The boat is INCREDIBLE.
Steve (owner of #^&#^&#^&#^&'s Tackle) taught us all how to restrain ourselves and catch Taug:jump1: Fish4striper's crew showed us how important it is to have a diver down there hookin fish on for you when another boat pulls up and is takin pictures.
Weather was great and we caught fish and some good laughs.
Awesome time.

I would like to thank PRBuzz (Phil) for a great day on the water. It was also nice to meet his son Adam and OD Mike. Great crew and we really put a hurting on the tog. I think my alter ego "Ryan" caught all those fish. He is a stealth ninja when it comes to toggin. We'll have to do it again sometime.

Hey, I gave you guys the super secret spot, see us boat guys share spots :grins:

You guys didn't know BB tog don't like to eat Vineyard crabs? Sorry ,we have to take our bait secret to the grave! :rotf2:

a few tog questions - the bigger ones seem to be blowing up through the vent. are they going to survive this or are they automaticly keepers? the smaller ones doesnt seem to happen as much. should i just vent them w/ a needle? is this "the bends" even in 30' of water. i don't really want to keep any more this season but would still like to fish for them a few times but don't like the idea of wasting fish that are released to die anyway. and thanks jeff, good time as usuall bro. in april we'll do one of these for cod and haddock

Paul,

Hope this helps answer your questions about venting? Also included some general info about tog.

Kippy,
It was a good day! Had a lot of fun fishing with the crew! Thanks for all the advice on baiting the crabs and the techniques of setting the hook. If it wasn't for "Ryan" I may never caught a tog....

Thanks again,
Mike

No problem Mike, you certainly got the hang of it pretty quick. Ryan must be a great teacher!

Tony what do you do? Ryan teaches others and catches all the fish!

(for those lost in this discussion it is one of those that what happens on the boat stays on the boat things)

Phil, Tony got Ryan to the boat.......

How do you know it wasn't Ryan that brought Tony?

Has anyone fished directly under the BB tower? I was looking at it the other day and was thinking about running up to it and dropping a few crabs down there.

look around that area for the deep hole.

fished south of it wednesday. many big fish boated and lost. there wer a number of boats I could see around the tower

Hi, attached are a few pics from the trip with PRBuzz a few weeks ago. Thanks again Phil!

could not resist winds @ 5-10 ...one more tog trip out there
 

It was probably the best day toggin yet...They were chewin'. Largest was only 9 but the numbers were big, non stop action all day.

My Lami tri-flex New England Tog rod broke during the fight of a small tog...I could not belive it....POW! Between the Arra's and now this...I have the worst luck with lamiglass.

good to read, about the bite that is. maybe that means the bite is back on. going tomorrow towards the tower. if it is slow, heading south east of the pigs

Nice.

I saw a nice Mirage 27 at Mellville Boatyard, twin sterndrives. is your's a single or twin?

OH YEAH BABE!....
 

:drool:

dug some fresh oysters (Rockefeller) and lil' necks along with this for dinner...was good man.

mirage 32 actually. quite a good looking boat. I took pics I liked it so much.

Nice boat, though I'd like the single diesel better

Is just me or is there more tog talk then usual this year?,,, fisherman mag ect...
