Clammer's right too - I usually see it on a dead calm morning at slack, then followed by a sheen rising on the water which I always thought was the released milt.

Right after that the tog seemed to feed pretty actively -

Since tog aren't known to smoke I guess the next best thing after mating is a nice sandworm...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
