Go flounder fishing. Leave the tog alone. Let em spawn in peace. Granted, you would probably catch alot of em, but all this catching is really going to hurt us with next year's recreational allotment. Then we'll all be complaining that the powers-that-be have shut down the tautog fishery.

Flounder fishing is EXTREMELY slow, but isn't the challenge a fundamental part of the fun of fishing??!!

Matt17, you do not have to apologize to me. I wasn't pointing a finger at anyone in particular, just trying to make a general point. This past season and the current spring tog season is the best its been in a couple years. I'd just like to see it stay that way. I've seen many LARGE blackfish caught recently and alot of them seem to be good and fat, ready to spawn.
I love to fish for tog and are my favorite to cook by far. I just want to make sure those white-chins are around for our future generations.

Anyway, I hope ya have a great time and get em good(just keep what ya need)...tight lines!!!

jrgesq...it's still a lil early for them to start spawning but with the mild winter that we've had I'm just assuming they might start early. (Yeah, I know all about ass-u-ming) Only a few that I've personally seen looked to have started getting "extra" plump ;)
They are starting to move back in though, so it shouldn't be all that long till they start.
