Very true! Roughly 7 years ago, I was scheduled to go out on a charter with some work friends. The morning of the trip, the NE winds were blowing like crazy. The captain offered us another date, but we decided to give it a shot.
The boat cleared past the Manasquan Coast Guard station, and a small CG cutter was in front of us. What I saw next, was a scene from hell. Waves were completely crashing over the MI jetty. The cutter ahead made 2 attempts to clear the inlet...and then gave up.
The Captain then offered us a day of blackfishing in the canal. We didn’t expect much, but within 10 minutes we were bailing keeper sized togs left and right. It was so good, the Captain called his wife to bring over more crabs for us.
While waiting, my friend had the brilliant idea to take a slice of pepperoni off of one of our sandwiches and send it down. Bam...he hits with a beautiful tog. Another slice...another hit. Repeated over and over.
So, when they are hungry...they will hit anything.
