srt44116,

Those tog were swimming somewhere off the rock islands on Sakonnet Point. To get that kind of visibility and that many fish in one spot you have to be on the water just after first light with an incoming tide near high and several days without big waves or rain...it doesn't happen all that often.

Crafty,

I'll work up a tog poster/screensaver you can put right next to Farrah's.

Yesterday, I tried kayaking Brentons, but due to the high wind I had to settle for Price's Neck and the Goosberry Island area. Tog and bass everywhere you would expect them...think suds or think deep.

RI Rockhound,

Those were far from 'schoolies' (wide angle lens) but certainly not the double digit pigs we all seek...to see those you'll have to attend a seminar

These peep shows I put up never feature the A++ talent -- any old farts out there remember Busty Rusty?

That's very cool footage. I've only recently been introduced to your films. I just ordered Secrets of the Striper Pros and I'm very much looking forward to it.

When and where are the winter seminars?

How deep would you say you were...<10 ft? I usually don't start tog fishing until late Sept..early Oct... but then again there's lots to be learned.

For the last few years I have really appreciated closing out the fishing season toggin. Wonderful fish, great fight, and tasty to boot. There is something about the simplicity of putting a crab you caught on a hook in the rocks and pulling one of these bruisers out on a cool fall morning. Nothing complicated...no spreader bars, chunking mess, wrestling with eels at night....just a crab, a hook and a sinker on the rocks. I am already looking forward to the end of the derby and going toggin now!
