Tog fishing was excellent today. A remarkable recovery from yesterday. There were quite a few angler limits and everyone went home with some nice tog today. Nothing remarkable but sizes to about 7 lbs. Tremendous action with short tog kept things very lively today as well. A couple of nice cod today as well with one just south of ten pounds taking the pool. No sea bass to speak today. Capt. Mike will set sail on the Lady Frances at 6 am for Tog tomorrow.
Roger reported a solid day of cod fish and sea bass fishing today aboard the Gail and gorgeous mid November weather to go along with it. Both drifting and anchoring techniques were employed by Capt. Rich and while a few cod were taken on jigs, bait far out produced today anyways.The cod were fairly spread out today and while the majority of fishers left with one or two for dinner there were a few fishers who only had some sea bass. But the total number of keeper cod we had today is probably about as good as any we have had in the past month. Pool fish was a solidly in the low teens and there were several others around the ten pound mark. A nice mix of dark and green fish today. We had two fishers who boxed four keeper cod each and several who had three apiece. Numbers of sea bass were solid with just about everyone getting at least a few to take home and most fishers having four to a limit catch each. Some quality stuff in the 3 to 4 lb range again today but nothing bigger than that. Just a few handfuls of keeper scup among a ton of little pinners. Two nice size fluke today, some ocean perch and a mentionable but not memorable amount of unmentionables today. A special shout out to Ron and “Big Bait” from the North Jersey Saltwater Anglers today! Well done gentlemen! Pictures today courtesy of Roger. Capt. Rich will set sail tomorrow morning at 6 am aboard the Gail Frances for cod and sea bass.
