Spring tog

Agree they’ll smash a crab no problem. Dont buy into old tackle shop tales of needing soft baits 😂 Its not like their teeth turn to velcro from April to September and magically get rock hard from oct - dec 😂

Never had issues with crabs in the Spring neither....I think bait shops may have been trying to get rid of frozen clam-necks from over the winter...

YA GOTTA REMEMBER when I spring fished Tog ,Asian crabs weren,t here yet …….. & worms were around .45 / .50 a dozen .even thro we dug them ourselves most of the time ..fishing mussels was fun but frustrating

Was gonna maybe try some togging in upper BB in late May. Don't have to spot burn (have some ideas where to go) but a couple of questions. I've tried green crabs before at that time of year with no luck. Would putting them on those tog jigs help? Also, would switching to braided
help some? I've gone with 50' mono on my stiff boat rod with a conventional reel before with some success, but was thinking of maybe switching to braid on a spinning reel.

I’m no pro at this...

Fished a couple 20’ spots yesterday and a shallow shoreline with crabs that normally produce in the fall to no avail ... can’t imagine crabs not working at anytime.

Not a fan of the jigs, bait drops off quick enough when their on, never mind bouncing it around...

Don’t try this at home... :-),,, tie a 6/0 treble hook stinger to the hook on the jig, when u try to hook him and miss, the treble normally snags him, the bad news is you’ll damage a lot of fish... I tried this once and it’s a killer catcher, but a bad idea

I also don’t think it matters mono or braid directly to the tackle..

and now it’s going to blow for another four day’s..... :-(

Fry very shallow areas on the edge of the whitewater
