Tog/Blackfish - #2
Seems like a lot of people target these fish. I didnt want to derail the other thread but wanted to get some talk on tactics for catching them. I've been wanting to target fluke and blackfish the last few years but never bother since I get wrapped up chasing bass. Since I became a converted bottom fisherman thanks to a guy on this board (and my inability to find stripers this year) I really want to target blackfish. Here some dumb questions.
1. In fall, how deep do you fish? Do you cast to structure, or just drop straight down from the boat?
2. Are they boulder fish or reef/rock ledge fish? I've always caught them from shore on jetties or on rocky bars. I know some deep water rock ledge areas that I never see anyone fish, is it worth the time?
3. Is morning usually the best or does the bite last all day?
looking forward to the feedback. I just got an email that my crab trap has shipped, I plan to start fishing for these fish in October.
