What Wee Wee said.
I use a whole crab, rip off a couple of legs to thread the hook thru and hang on.
I got a spot that produces some big a$$ chinners, it's better later in the season though.

Use the biggest possible crab you can find..
7/0 or 8/0 hooks
Mono line (braid was OK, but didnt outfish mono for me)
Everything else I agree with |

If I'm not mistaken togging is a daytime thing, as blackfish do sleep/rest at night.
Otherwise, just follow your state regs. They are coldwater fish and can be caught year-round (boats in winter months) where I live, but pay attention to regs.
Season is usually closed around spawning.

Season in RI opens May 1 I think, 3 fish/person/day, switches to 10fishpd in OCtober... I dont fish them in the spring, I get em in deep water in the fall 90+ ft from a boat... deeper = bigger in the fall, but they are shallow in the spring when they are spawning (the other reason I dont get em in the spring/summer would rather let em reproduce)
Great eating, and great fighting, over all my favorite fish to catch...
Anyone who says blackfish cant tussle has never caught one in the double digit range.. they may not stip yards and yards of line, but in 100ft of water, a 12 or 14lb tog can PULL

They are cunning bait thieves, and have been known to drive anglers crazy by bulldogging themselves back into rockpiles when hooked. These are STRONG fish.

use seaworms in the spring, crabs in the fall. I fish for them in the woods hole area, but pretty much any rocky place will do. The fishing probably won't pick up until after the first week in may though, at least that's been my experience.
