I'm not crazy either. I stay shallow. Guys who are extreme about it, guys who dive the Race and Watch Hill, Devils Bridge, Southwest Ledge. The can have that. I got two young kids. All I want is dinner and some exercise. I'm all set with shallow water blackout.

Agreed, I have 3 very young boys, I plan on watching them grow up. Did you get any tautog that day?

When I had a boat, I did a ton of fishing, in very tight to the rocks of Fishers Island (just south of the eastern CT shoreline). I'd imagine that would be a prime spot, lots of bass and tog.
