TOG season!!
Tog are around now and thier numbers will be increasing... I would be out there now but the season doesn't open untill the 1st.. I still see people fishing for them they aren't keeping them :) at least the guys i seen.... So is it ok to go tog fishing and just release them or no fishing at all till the 1st.
Theres only 1 fish i miss more than stripers and thats TOG!!!!

Goose took BLOO and I to his Tog hideaway Sun. and I will have to say they where hidding real good we could not find a one:( Thanks for the great new place to take a nap Goose:laughs:

..:D.....I'm glad you said it, and not me......:eek:
...I'd post some pictures of the fish.....but......THEY AIN'T NONE!!!..:D....Goose will be Goose, he don't know NO spots...so don't get caught fishin' with em'......;):D (leave that to me )...GB, we schoolied em' again last night...no wind!!... ...and umm....Gentlemen, don't forget to put your orders in to China, for the new secret weapon..... .....I just ordered 5 more gallons myself.....:) :happy: http://striped-bass.com/images/bloo/bloo_togcraba.jpg |
small tautog been steady in my eel pots this past week//////////////
|
I have also gotten some confirmed reports of Tog in L.I. Sound, New Haven area. Big one's and lots of em - I gotta get in the water !
|
...ITS CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!.......
....THERE ARE TAUTOG IN RHODY!!!.....:af: :af: ....Just got back from a local haunt....6 people,... yes 6 people fishing for them!!!!! ...I asked if they knew the season hadn't started, they played dumb!...:mad: ....Looked in one bucket, 4 fish....FULL BUCKET! MONSTERS!!!...I was jealous!!!!.....Hurry up May!!!!..... |
Bloo, I saw them there this Saturday. Most were on your side, but a few were on mine. They were there in full force on your side this afternoon about 1:00pm.
Where's Mr. Warden? |
..he's at the local Run, making sure you don't take 25 herring.....:af:
|
Tattoo, Bloo Got cell phone? :D Your lettin them catch all my fish!
Need DEM on speed dial! I like the portsmouth side best i know where all the holes are :) But it doesn't beat my little spot in Bristol and its not the narrows :p |
...Anthony, it really couldn't have gotten much better.....the minute the crab hit the water........BANG!!....BITES!!....if these googs had a clue as to what they were doing, they wouldn't be breaking off on the bigger fishes...(wrong tackle)...
....they were scoring some MONSTERS, but the few I seen break off.....appeared to be DEMONS from the depths of NEPTUNE!!!... ...I gotta stay away from there until the 1st of May, its just too much for me to handle......seeing all that action, and not being able to take advantage of it...:smash: :smash: :af: :af: |
...This lovely lady tipped the scales at 8.5 lbs. and was an even 24"..., not a bad specimen to kick the season off.....:D
...If you decide to do some Toggin', expect a lot of dead crabs...tis' the season when they do their molting....so they'll die quick sitting in the Baitshop holding tank....but they'll still work!!....and don't be afraid to flip some rocks...you'll be surprised at what you find....(check previous post)... .....all in all, not a bad day, well over a dozen fish...and mostly all keeper size....(umm..did I mention, all in an hour and a half!!!)...:eek: YES, the action was awesome!!....I can't wait for May 1st!!!...I know a few spots in Rhody that are harboring FUGITIVES!!!.....:D :D :happy: http://striped-bass.com/images/bloo/bloo_gggga.jpg |

I feel an illness coming on maybe Wednesday... Cough, cough, Hack, hack (and like Bikk the Cat) Tphhpt!^%#$!
|
...Hot off the presses....
...Two fishermen busted this past week for taking Tog before May 1st in Rhody...:D:P:happy: ...the fine: $500.00 each!!!.....:D |
Too bad for them. It would be great if the fisheries were abundant enough that there were no real rules or regs but we know that can't happen.
If you break the rules and get caught, no pitty from me.... |
24 hour brain tumor kicks in at 12:00pm Tuesday night. :smash:
Looks like a planned assault on TOGZILLA is in order...... Scooby Scooby Bloo, where are you? We got some toggin to do now.....:D |
|
I was under the impression the season didn't open til 5/1 in RI, unless of course these were taken in waters other than RI in which case jsut ignore me and i'll slink away back to the lurking shadows :-)

Mass is open now for 'Tog. Rhody doesn't open until May 1st
