togfest II - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

niko · 09-20-2011, 06:33 PM

it's almost that time of year. how's sunday october 23rd sound? we could use a few more boats this year. it would be cool to raft up a few boats if the weather allows. so who's in w/ a boat and who's hoing a ride. i'll put together a few plugs for biggest fish. or maybe i'll just leave them in my truck as they will be coming home with me anyway

JackK · 09-20-2011, 08:58 PM

I would definitely be in, and would be willing to throw down gas & crab money as well as a craft beer or two.

Padawan · 09-20-2011, 09:05 PM

When and wear is this happening thinking of doing this?

iamskippy · 09-20-2011, 09:16 PM

Assuming South of the canal would love to Ho with someone, never been toggin....or at least targeted then directly.

I would love to hitch up with someone for some Tougin'. I also can pull an anchor like nobodys bidniss. I'll bring crabs and gas$$.

RickBomba · 09-20-2011, 10:56 PM

there's a nice little spot we did last year in buzzards bay, might as well go there again.

fishbones · 09-21-2011, 09:12 AM

Rockport24 · 09-21-2011, 10:59 AM

I'm in to ho a ride, so of course will chip in with anything needed.

I think I can find two s-bers that can jump in with me.

fid · 09-25-2011, 08:30 PM

if I get back early enough from NYC, I'd go. Would contribute towards gas, bait, food, etc.

Padawan · 09-25-2011, 09:10 PM

If we can get enough boats Lets do entry fee of 50 bucks per boat. Biggest tog wins the pot.

Assuming I'm not traveling, I'd definately be in and I'd want someone who can show me what the F**K I'm doing wrong. I was out Saturday in Buzz. Bay, had some fun with Albies and then anchored up to feed the tog some crabs. That's exactly what I did, just fed them one after the other, off jigs, off high low, off anything I threw until the short supply was gone. Switched over to my 4" split tail on a 3/8oz Kalin jig head in olive and don't I catch a nice fat tog and 10 black sea bass without moving. Probably drew in some fish with all the crab chum. It was fun fishing in 15 feet, I'll have to bring one of my fly fishing clients out with a sinking weight 6-7 weight, I would think those blackies would fall for a similar quartering, drift and twitch retrieve.

JamesJet · 09-26-2011, 07:38 AM

I might be in, I have never fished that area or for Tog in general so I need a remedial course. Where would we launch from and whats the gear required? I was thinking either a japaneese style jig stick and or a classic e glass bait/eel rod that I really like. Hi Low rigs with bank sinkers add crabs and go at it?

I'd rather we just get together and fish.....not everything needs a prize.

If we do something, it's usually like who's ever in, bring a plug and biggest fish wins the plugs. Last year ,not all boats were in same area so logistically it wasn't possible.

niko · 09-26-2011, 08:21 AM

the plan is to lauch out of fairhaven and any light/med duty bass setup will do. tog can be frustrating but once you get the hang of it they are easy pickings. for teminal stuff i use a 5' leader of 40-50# flouro w/ a basic 2 hook tog rig w/ both baits on the bottom. a few tips - moving water is best, don't bounce the sinker, seems the more guys on the boat fishing the better the bite is - kind of like chumming i guess, wait for the bigger bump and get them out quick. so much fun to catch - rockpile bluefish
