April 14 .2014 Great Tog fishing!

April 14.2014 
Went out in the bay this morning despite the wind we were able to get a few hours of fishing in. We got set up and the combination of current and wind made fishing difficult. After about 20 minutes with still no bites we made a move-and it paid off. John and I got on a steady, hot bite. It was a great productive few hours keeping a solid 6 fish limit from 5lbs.-8lbs est. The biggest fish tapped out 23 inches and we released the rest. Called it a day and headed in around lunch time!

Only a couples weeks until Tog season closes book a half or full day trip and get in on this hot action!

April 12.2014 Tog fishing

April 12.2014
It was just one of those days when we should have "zigged when we zagged". We had Fred on the boat with us today. We contemplated our game plan the night prior to the trip. We knew some fish where being caught in the bay but the Ocean has been producing pretty good quality and numbers for us so we where torn between the two. So we finally made the decision to hit the wrecks in the Ocean. We got set up at a few wrecks and wasn't much to it. Had a few bites and pulled a couple fish off. The water temperature was still pretty cool on the bottom so we figured that was the culprit so we headed inshore to shallower water. Finally, we broke some ice and got on a consistent bite but that only lasted for about 20 minutes and then it slowed down. However, we where able to pick away at a couple more fish. Fred was able to scratch the day out with 6 keeper Togs to take home to enjoy with his cold glass of whiskey.

Tog season closes May 1st so call and book your full or half day Inshore Tog trip today!

April 10.2014 Good TOGGING

April 10.2014
Went out Tog fishing again today; you couldn't ask for better weather condition-slick calm and sunny. We really had to grind them out and fish hard today. We fished a handful of hangs and were able to produce some fish. Nolan was the big hitter on the boat today landing his biggest Tog to date, right at 9 lbs. And John followed up right behind him with another fish also right at 9lbs. Throughout the day we caught around 20 total Togs and kept our limit.

Call and book your Tog trip now, season closes May 1st!

APRIL 5.2014 Tog fishing getting Hot!

April 5.2014
I was excited to finally have Jerry Aycock come with us today. It was long over do and glad to see him out on the water again. Jonathan, Joe, Jerry and I loaded up the boat and with the heavy fog and high winds we decided to wait for the wind to die down. So we headed out and got set up at the first wreck. The current was screaming and made it difficult to feel the bite, but we managed to pick a few up. With a slow consistent bite, we made the difficult decision to "leave fish to find fish"-a rule you generally don't break. At the second wreck we realized we made the right decision. Jonathan broke the ice with a solid fish 8.5-9 lbs.. That wasn't the last of the action-Jerry also boated a nice fish that was also 8.5-9 lbs. in which he elected to release to get his first citation for Tog. Overall, we had an outstanding day full of action catching a total of 45-50 tog; keeping our 12 fish limit.

The water temps are rising so the Tog action will be heating up! Call and book your trip.

March 11.2014 Huge togs!

March 12.2014
Epic day-it defiantly was not a quantity tog trip but "quality" was definitely a huge factor in our trip. Jonathan, Jon, Brandon, Joe, and I got a early start. Conditions were perfect for tog fishing with warm temperatures and slick calm water. We got set up and there was a little waiting game but we finally broke the ice with and boated a solid 7 lber. It wasn't a fast pace bite but we began getting a few bites and landed one or two more fish, slightly smaller, so we made a little move. After the move about 10 minutes with no bites all hell finally broke loose and Jon bowed up instantly. We all knew it was a slob so I waited patiently with net while he fought the monster. After a good fight we boated the slob. The entire boat was excited and the fish taped out 28.5 inches on hard tape so we estimated him to be 16.5-17 lbs. which would qualify him for the new Junior World Record ! As we all stood at the back of the boat with cheers and took pictures "sneaky" Joe put on a fresh bait and slipped up to the bow. He hooked the fish of a life time after a serious fight and I waited again, patiently, with the net boating an absolute monster, 31.5 incher that weighed 22.5 lbs! In that 15 minutes of fishing two very fortunate and deserving people boated two fish of a lifetime. So the remainder of our day we caught a few more togs with another being around 6 lbs. The group also caught a handful seabass through out the day and I caught a solid one being 5.5-6 lb.s too bad they where out of season. However, the day was absolutely unforgettable! So glad to spend the day with some of my best friends and share this experience together.

Febuary 25.2014 trout!

Febuary 25.2014
I Haven't been trout fishing in awhile. And the trout bite has been really good with some pretty unremarkable fish being caught. Like Brandon Bartlett 10.7 and Stacys Mann 9.4 yesterday I was ready to give it a go. So yesterday got a last minute phone call from Brandon Price asking me if I wanted to go. With no hesitation I dropped what I was doing and we headed over. It was a good trip with a great class of fish on artificial baits we caught around 20 trout. And I was fortunate enough to catch a solid fish 28.5" I also had 26" and 24.5" for my big fish for the night and pulled the hook on a really really nice fish in grasp. Brandon Price also had some really nice fish with his 26",25.5" and 24" for his big fish all fish released. It was a great evening of fishing

Feb 7.2013 
I got home from Florida couple days ago been gone a month and half so was ready to go the next pretty day, so yesterday Jonathan,Brandon,Jon,Mike and I headed out and Tog fished. We fished a total of three wrecks throughout the day we caught a total of 45-50 Togs. We scratched out our 15 fish limit up to 7lbs but there was plenty of shorts. I lucked up and caught our biggest fish it was 9-10lbs we took a finlet sample and released it for a citation and to fight another day. We also caught all the puppy drum you could stand and also kept a limit of them. It was a great day with fun friends.
