Had a decent togging trip yesterday in LIS around Saybrook area. 5 guys fishing, probably boated 200 tog and seabass. Brought 17 tog and 4 seabass back to the dock. Most of the keepers were in the 18-22" range. Fished in water right around 50'. Saw a bunch of albies as we were coming back in.

Everything is better on the rocks.

pod after pod of albies were heading out of the bay for the two days prior to the storm,,,fascinating to watch them from shore but frustrating to cast to as they seem disinterested in anything thrown in their path...just a steady flow of gently porpoising emerald backed beauties

Third spot this morn landed on the mother load of tog... Went through close to a bucket of greeny's,,,, pulled up a real monster, lays him on the bench, pulls the hook out, flip flop , did a half gainer, splash..... SOB grrrrrr gone!

Hauls, runs home,takes all the rods off, loads the rakes and baskets, heads back out , rakes up limit.... Headed in, you know what I sees next? right?
Puts the glasses on the mouth of the harbor , sees clouds of birds and dummy me with no rods onboard .....

Drops off the boat back at the house , heads for the north side to empty and bait the greeny pot....

I wish I could get paid for all the fishing I do.... LOL

We used to have some epic days when I was a kid well into December, and Tautog's logbook has great days in January from the old days.

As the stock has declined and pressure went up on them, it seems like the season has gotten shorter; it is basically over around Thanksgiving.

Tautog just submitted a slip a couple weeks ago and is in first place with one at 10 lb 2oz. You'd better get out there and not let the old man show you he's still the Boss.

You sure are ambitious. Good for you. I don't have "the fire in the belly" anymore to go that hard.

No boat, back in the suds.
