Togfest Reschedule

[Cool Beans]

All these reschedules and stuff seem to always happen, why not just have one every weekend in Oct and Nov and even if 2 guys show up and fish some weekends but others you get more then its a total success. Trying to pick one day for all of you guys always seems to crumble, if a few would just start meeting and fishing every Saturday, I bet it would increase in numbers and would make for a lot better reading on the site.

just my humble opinion...

I'd like to start something like this once I find decent fishing in the Wickford or Allen Harbor areas. As of this week I moved the boat from Newport navy base to fish closer to home. A friend and I are meeting up tomorrow to take both our boats out scouting for tog in that area.

Weather and the Fickle Finger of Fate

I'm heading out Tuesday with a friend, looking like decent weather, with light wind (hopefully).

It looks good does it! Geees, I've got a PT appointment mid day... Wouldn't ya know it :-(

If u need crabs ( or anyone for that matter) I've got plenty to spare, willing to meet at the ditch.... Haven't checked the hotel in a couple days but they should be plenty...

No problem, I'm along for the ride, crabs are on him this trip. He is an engineer I've taken out a couple years the end of October for business, but also we have become friends as well. We have had killer fishing the last weekend of October both times with so many 4-6 lbers it was unreal and I'm hoping Tuesday will be a threepeat. Timing is close, winds and weather looks to be similar, won't know until we get out and drop anchor. Last trip out I had my personal best with an 11 lber, I'd love to hook up with another slob like that one. He misses our year end trips, as do I, but I can't get him out to that favorite ledge in my kayak.

C/B your moving your boat from t he base to Wickford/Allens harbor .......... IMO you should be staying there as the remainder of the good fidhing [IMO} will be on the outside & on the east side .

the wind may of slowed the exit from the bay in which case you,ll have a bite near Wickford ...bring plenty of bait .for all the shorts on all species <>< suppose to go tomorrow .but currently its a blowin out there ><>

As of Sunday keepers were still WAAAAAAAAAAY up the bay ><><

Went out this morning (sat) from Allen harbor, found a few wreck/rock piles and landed over a dozen Tog (5 keepers). My friend also caught about the same in his boat, however he didn't keep any (claims they are too beautiful).... I called it around noon and headed home when the wind started to pick up.

Hoping to reschedule appointment and go Tursday...

Went today out my back door for couple hours, not a touch after such a good bite three days ago, Thursday .... Then I see the seals eyeballing me.... Makes me think that maybe the couple togzillas I missed last couple weeks may have been a f n seal!

Beans, that sounds like a good idea. Weekends are tough for me seeing as I'm a retired slacker and pretty much fish all week... The local war department thinks it's best I don't fish weekends...

Launched from the base couple weeks ago on Wayne's boat Alby fishing.... Wayne 3 Gup 0..... Plus I fell on my arz and dropped a rod overboard, the good news is the rod was not mine .... LOL

OK, NEXT YEAR EVERY SATURDAY MORNING
