KL –
The key to togging is to fish structured water (rock piles / a wreck / mussel beds / moving water). As far as bait is concerned - Green crabs are the common bait… but this time of the year, you might want to use smaller bait such as fiddler crabs or small cut crab pieces.
As for the type of rigs to use – It depends what type of bottom you are fishing. If it is a very ‘sticky” place (where you can lose a lot of rigs)… I strongly recommend a single hook. If it is an open rocky structure – You can use a high & low rig. The key to togging is to locate a prime spot – keep your offering as close to the bottom (use enough lead to hold bottom). Remember – small cut crabs (to allow some crab juice flowing / chum the area) and it should work. Also – Tide & Moon has a lot to do with it. Avoid the new or full moon tides because the water moves too strong and the window of opportunity for those critters are shorter. The off moons (1/4 – ½ moon) are prime time!
These are the basics – but it’s enough information to get ya started! Enjoy! ;-)
