toggin....new england style

Just to show you how WE do it! LOL

Left at first light with crabs and eels on Inheritance with my father and my friend Chris......

Headed down by Narrow River to throw a few eels. Dead down there. 30 minutes of that crap and I said F-this lets go Toggin' now LOL.

Headed to my favorite spot and once on the hook, and about 15 minutes into it......COMMENCED BAILING THE TOGS.

All by ourselves, having driven past the usual flocks of boats (that flock together purely because they see other boats so "there must be something going on LOL")....

Caught 21 keepers in the first couple hours.

Better than 90% were 7-8 #ers! All REAL nice fish.....best showing of big togs yet. The next couple hours we finished out our limit of 30 fish, plus a few bonus Seabass!

Half-filled the 150 qt. cooler.......I'm effin tired...had a lot of filleting/cleaning to do! 5-Gallon "PAIL" (that's for you Jim) of skinned fillets.

Beautiful day out there except for the buttox orifice in the Grady in Wickford Harbor that doesn't know navigation rules.....a few (OK way more than a few) choice words and gestures from me, then he yells "Come on over here!" As we start backing up towards him, he yells "Chicken!" and starts running away HUH? Douche. Not worth chasing at that point. Cracked a beer, took a leak, and headed back to the slip after fueling.

I'm tired.....I'm sure the other 2 were also.....great day!

Boney,

YANKEES :-k Fished one summer on a tuna boat out of the hamptons. Had a blast. Capt ragged me all summer about not wearing
shoes. Its definately different fishing in the NE, but one thing is universal.
Everybodys happy when the big boys are biting. Took me about two weeks to get the lingo down, but once you get a good gaff in a couple yellowfins and bigeyes its all good.

PS Loved those Jersey girls
