Tough weather fishing 10/24

Headed out with Eddie to do some bottom fishing today.
Met a much angrier ocean than forcasted as expected with the east winds.
Chased a few areas of working birds that had spike weakfish under them.
Plan was to do some catch and release togging , and then sea bass.

sea bass were crushing the crabs at the first drop, so we switched to them for awhile.
Lots of shorts and just keepers, but we threw those back just keeping fish over 14" .
I had one nice trigger fish there.
Wanted to make a move , and ended up losing the wreck anchor as we got hammered by two 8' plus waves while pulling it. was crazy how far those waves pushed the heavy contender.
Mother nature is one tough lady.

moved south and drifted for sea bass , once again it was drop and reel, but mostly smaller fish. we picked away at some nicer ones who made their way into the box.
Finished the day early with a decent cooler of fish, as we had enough of getting our butts kicked out there .

check out the spine on the one blackfish we kept. I didnt know tog could have scoliosis .

Slow Windy Togging 10/18

Headed out with Tracey and Eddie to do some togging.
Winds were cranking making it tough not to swing  off the smaller pieces.
so I jumped around to a few bigger spots, not finding much.
5 drops produced 10 keepers ( all released).
as we were looking for a few nicer sized dinner fish with the limit still at one per.
Biggest fish was about 17" so they all got to swim another day.

TOG LIMITS 10/11

BUT thats not saying much since the limit is 1 per person still.

Headed out with Tracey to do some catch and release togging.
thought the seas had settled down alot after the blow this week , and they would be chewing their heads off.
NOT as the bite was very scratchy , and we only boated a few keepers as well as a handfull of shorts.

Still was nice getting out on the boat , and doing some running around
