usually ya can target em at the same spots ya porgy fish those 2 seem to go hand in hand together just bring some crabs as I do not think any boats are carrying em yet. BD you get any west philly snappers?

I have 3 recent trips on NS charters One specifically targeting Tog, two we had crabs and made some drops. Caught keepers on every trip. They are here and they are hungry!

Re: Is Anyone Blackfishing?
 

Same as above - They are home but no big bruisers just yet. Been out twice specifically targeting last week. Mostly toy togs with an occational 4 or 5 pounder mixed in.

If you don't start hooking up immediately, wait them out. Our last 2 trips it took about a hour each time to build some life and get em going.

Three of us fished Sunday morning on SH Reef to warm up for the season. I kid you not when I tell you we dropped the anchor once and had a hoot catching and releasing over 100 tog. A majority of which were keepers. No jumbos but some nice roasters to 6 pounds. It was drop and reel for 2 hours. All on green crabs. I started to get a blister on my right thumb from reeling in fish. We laughed our asses off saying so much for the east wind and large ground swell shutting down the bite. NOT. Reminded me of the late 1970's when I fished the Sound out of Cos Cob Connecticut and we would fill a 30 pound pail with NICE fish in 2 hours and head in. In fact, we sailed right by the Atlantic Star on its way out of the harbor for the afternoon pork chop trip and I held up 2 of the beauty's we kept.
