With the weather not really cooperating, we got out 2 of the last 4 days we had available to tog fish this season...and even those two days, the conditions weren't that favorable haha.
Friday we headed out and when we got to the mouth of the bay we thought for sure we had made a terrible mistake even trying to fish in the super chop that we saw. We thought about cutting our losses and heading back but instead just went for it... We had a little trouble staying anchored, but after dealing with that the bite was surprisingly good and we two man limited out by around noon! Bait rigs with heavy weights were needed to get the job done.
Saturday we headed out again and instead of a bad chop we were greeted with a swell...it wasn't quite as bad as the chop from the day before, but I sure did put a hampering on the tog bite! I've never skin hooked, outside of the mouth hooked, and hook and dropped so many tog... they just weren't biting anything we tried the right way. But we fought through it and picked away ending up with 5 keepers and probably dropping 3 other keepers that were most likely barely hooked from the weird bite.
All in all a short but productive tog season for us with 3 trips, 25 keepers for two guys and I nailed my PB preseason as well so i'll take it! Now on to a few charter boat trips!
