1st Blackfish!

[Ry609]

Hit the SR Inlet yesterday looking to catch my first blackfish and mission accomplished! No size whatsoever, but feels good when you go in with a game plan and it works out. I'm sure I missed a bunch of takes I could've set the hook on and one definitely took a jig into the rocks that broke off never to be seen again, but a good way to learn. Also, thanks to Fisherman's Den Belmar for the greenies! Also, before someone comments on how I handled it, the sand was blown onto the inlet rocks yesterday with the 20+mph winds leaving little real estate to unhook...wasn't my intention to make a tog cutlet out of it but **it happens. Darted right back down to the bottom when it hit the water, so I'm sure not too much harm done.

Congratulations on your first Tog. Be careful alot of my friends are obsessed with them.

Thanks! Honestly I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed yet, I’m a p***y when it comes to fishing in the cold!
