Snoop Toggy Togg: 12/10-12/11

[CB kayak 02]

I was using 6/0 Circles I only lost two rigs because I got broken off after hooking two fish, but that was with too light of line. I think I may try J-Hooks next time I think I might have a better hook up rate.

were u togging with the 6/0 hooks or striper fishing?

Togging, next time may use slightly smaller and J's.

I had 8/0 hooks for stripers, but ended up not striper fishing at all.

yeah 6/0 seems a bit to big for togs. i use 3/0 mustad j hooks. seem to work well for tog.

[ComeOnFish]

My setup was pretty much the same as yours. I tied 8-10 rigs before coming but did not lose a single one.

I was using eagle claw 4/0 circle hooks. Im wondering if I would have had better luck hooking up with the Gamakatsu hooks.

Ryan,

At ships we don't loose rigs. At CBBT I lost 15 qverage, and the kayak damage is much greater than the ships.

I think 1 out of 7-8 tog pulls, not tap tap.

I think you could be limited out both days with 3/0 or 4/0 J hooks. After all, setting hook decisively is the funniest part of the togging to me.

I'm a bit surprised you guys used circle hooks because you usually don't jerk the rod on the tap tap. But it worked.

I use 3/0 J-hooks, but I think 4/0 should be just right.

Here's what I made with one of my Togs:

Tog fish taco with cabbage, tomato, onion, chives, and my baja fish taco sauce.


I cut the filets into strips and fried with tempura batter.

Yum!

Looking mighty good there shady, I might make some rockfish tacos tonight
