Jason Colby Tautog (also called Blackfish) are tough fish! They live in a very harsh, rocky environment with sharp ledges all around them. They spend their days looking for lobsters and crabs. They also like to munch on mussels, clams and barnacles. Their front teeth are like chisels that can cut shellfish in half, and …
Note from Ryan – We are just getting settled in Costa Rica. I plan on publishing a report very soon, probably tomorrow! Captain Jason Colby When I announced open boat for this particular trip over a month ago the boat was filled up almost instantly. Strangely, of the 6 people who booked, none of them …
Captain Jason Colby This past Sunday I fished with Matt Newman of Newton and his sons Zach and Adien. They caught their limit of tog in “tough conditions” on the close inshore rockpiles with several fish approaching 7 pounds and one that was over that mark, caught by Adien. Even though I had two anchors …
Capt. Jason Colby So the wind was blowing a bit today and the waves were a little high, but that doesn’t matter…right? After all we are fishermen and fisherwomen!Actually for this trip, we did have a woman on the boat and she did get seasick, but not before she caught a few good fish and …
This morning was windy and chilly on Buzzard’s Bay! Nevertheless I set off for tautog with MFCC contributors John D. Silva and captain Jason Colby of Little Sister Charters. The plan was to capture some video and some keeper-size tog for the box.I am happy to report that the trip was a success.
...To say that this past weekend’s tog bite was “rather slow” would of been an understatement! The water temps need a little work but at least they are headed in the right direction. I suspect that with the cooler weather the past few nights and with the waning moon later in the week, we will …
Over the past several days I’ve run a total of 8 charters, mostly for striped bass. I have a couple more striper trips coming up this week before sea bass starts on May 23rd.My most recent trips have been similar to our MFCC group trip from a couple weeks back. It’s been mostly plugging with …
Catching tautog from shore on Cape Cod during the spring is a blast! Plus it is super simple fishing. No expensive gear or boat required.In this post I’ll share with you a quick video overview of the concept, and also provide MFCC members with some locations I feel will produce tautog from shore this spring.
...Tautogs are a popular, fun and delicious fish to catch from a boat. An anchor, rocky nook, and some green crabs are all you need. Of course that is bare-bones minimum, and there is no doubt that a top-notch sonar, chart plotter, boat and captain, will help you put tog in the boat. But how …
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 …
The wind was howling as my friend Jason Mazzola and I traveled through the Cape Cod Canal on his boat the “Sue-Sea-Q” south towards Buzzard’s Bay. This was going to be a wet and sloppy fishing trip. The rain began to pour as we approached the Railroad Bridge. This was my first time on the …
The squawking of the terns and birds was like music to my ears. Since I was a little kid I have associated these sounds with good fishing, and I always feel a jolt of excitement when I hear terns crying. Jay motored me within casting distance of the diving birds. I had tied on a …
