|
|
Looking to do mainly some tog fishing, swap some trips at the moment, your boat my boat sort of thing, or whatever. I only have a 17'r but if the weather is OK, no problem. I have been fishing the Groton area, open to trying new areas too. I have a pretty flexible schedule for the most part so quick week day trips work good too.
Tog fishing has been outstanding this year!
If interested send me a message, we can talk and see if we may be a good match. |

Sounds good, not looking for a free ride, always willing to pitch in.
Bring lot's of 4 - 8 oz sinkers and 3/0-4/0 Octopus hooks!! If your not losing rigs, your not in the right area  |

Hey that's my line!
You can get sinkers that big at most tackle shops, a lot cheaper if you make your own though.
Octopus is a style of hook, its not a circle its more like a regular hook with a twist to make the point stick out more. Try Gamakatsu or Owner, those two brands are very sharp and very strong. |

| Just so we are clear we are talking 4 oz to 8 oz sinkers. The hooks I prefer are as I stated and the skipperj9 is correct about getting a good quality hook. You want a pretty stiff boat rod with a conventional reel. I'm not talking a Blue fish boat rod..just something with some backbone. |

| Lung, when does the season start? I have an array of salt water equipment. Will have to get the hooks though. I need more knowledge but have a 29 ft boat that should do the job! |

Hey Jeep, I myself won't be after the Black fish till OCT 1 when the fall season opens. There is a summer season but I focus on Fluke for the most part. Your boat sounds plenty big enough
Where is your slip? |
