Hi Ritchie...
Yeah,, It was nice to get a few for a change. I used to catch tons of Tog without too much effort when I lived in NJ.. My main head boat was the old 40 foot Skipper [Capt Dom Vitolo]...
We used to catch piles of them most trips, and only the Skipper, Big Mohawk, and maybe a few private boats would be off the Red Church after tog, even on beautiful calm days in the fall,, Things have changed a LOT since those days,,
Since I moved to NY state in 91, any tog trip i made was horrible.. I mean maybe one or two shorts, and that was it for me while other guys aboard did fine.. I thought I had lost the elusive "tog mojo".. Now I realize it was all in my head.
When I was "on the fish" I caught them... When I wasn't , I didn't catch.. Pretty simple, but after a bunch of tough trips, one's confidence can go into the crapper.. My son usually fishes on head boats with me, but won't make the drive if its for blackfish.. He only fishes head boats for Ling and Sea bass as they are easier to hook..
btw,, We talked a few months ago on the Dorothy B.. My brother lives around the block from you in Lyndhurst... ... bob
