CHSP July 8 and 11 - No triggerfish yet, but there are plenty of Togs

[ComeOnFish]

I couldn't believe that there were no triggerfish at the walls.
Though there were plenty of Togs at the ocean side of outer wall where the water was colder. I think Togging will be good at the outer wall for the next few weeks from July 17th.

The most of togs were 17-20" ( in 8-15' of water). And I saw many togs at 22-25" range (15-18' of water). I am coming back for big togs for sure. Hopefully triggerfish arrive soon.

Hooked a 6-7ft shark on a buck-tail. This thing went straight to the beach from the light house (the outer wall), and made a 90 degree turn once when I was tired to chasing it. The 50# test line and 20# drag was meaningless for this fish. I need a bigger reel (more line) for a shark.

Flounder were small. One out of 4-5 was a keeper

Oh, I might be able to go. You're located in Rockville? I'm in North Potomac so maybe we can carpool and split cost. Have room for another yak on your ride or maybe I'll pick up a yakima stacker and we can put both on my forester.

That's a lot of fishing haha. Might have to pass, not sure how the wife feels about me leaving for that much time since we just had our first born, 3 months ago. I'll let you know!

Sushiplease I will actually be leaving Thursday early am to go straight to Delaware and will not be surf fishing. Let me know if you still want to go. If I go I will be on the water for a really long time though. I launch at first light and come in around or after sun down. I'll be fishing for tog during the day and flounders in the later evening. Is that ok with you? We should be back in the Rockville area by 10 or 11 pm. Let me know.

Sounds like a day full of red bull and espresso. I think I could do that, I'll shoot you over my contact. Where in rockville are you located?

[Pinch]

Joe let me know next time and I'll bring my fins. You good for any mid week trips next week?

[zeebyrd]

Great video! What kind of lures do you use for tog?

[M_Duong60]

Tog don't hit lures except for rare cases. You can use crabs, sandfleas, shrimp, and clams on a 2/0-4/0 octopus hook.

[Shady]

Anyone ever tried shrimp fishbites for tog? I have some and will bring in my next tog expedition...
