May 27, 2014

I felt slightly bad for “stealing” Andrew’s fish out from under him. However I feel he didn’t mind all that much as long as one of us fooled the fish! For its size the tautog pulled quite well and I was nearly sure the fish would be of keeper size. Yet I still had work

Continued from the post A Double Header of Tautog and Stripers from Shore That first tautog was actually quite challenging for me to catch. I began the trip by using one of those generic tautog rigs that is made out of heavy wire and all sorts of terminal tackle. Something like the rig in the
