Are Tog Smart?
I know they have a rep as bait-stealers but I have a questions as I have never specifically targeted them. I have been fishing a shore spot the last few mornings in high visibility water and have watched numerous togs, some of them rather large, lazily wallowing by right underneath me, searching the sunken seaweed beds for crabs, I assume.
How likely would it be if I catch myself up some green crabs and "present" one to these passing fish, that they would oblige by gulping it down? Also, is there a jig or other lure that might entice them? I also saw several smaller ones in a nearby sandy-bottom area and those ones were following my bucktail along without grabbing it. Seems to be an abundance at the moment so I thought I would give it a shot. I am ready to experiment but thought I would tap the wealth of knowledge here for a quick tip/suggestion to increase my odds of success (and potential dinner). What is the size limit?
What say you all?
