Mostly cloudy in the morning, but sunny in the afternoon. Winds were 15+ mph during late morning, but died down to about 10 mph in the pm. Chops were 2-3 ft during late morning, but it settled down about noon. Air temp in high 50s. Water temp at 49 deg. A lot of boats were out. I saw only one other yaker.
Hit the water at 0845 hrs. Had a dozen live blue crabs. Target was togs. After two hours working the pilings, I got no tog bites. The chops and wind got worse too. After an hour of rough water/wind I decided to head in, but it soon died down so I headed back toward the 1st island.
I must have worked a hundred pilings for over four hours. Nothing, not even a nibble. Where did the togs go? To deeper water?
Anyway, I switched to a 1 1/2 ounce jig with chartruse bkd after 1300 hrs. Caught six stripers (18 1/2, 20, 21, 22, 22 and 26"). Took home two.
No togs
, but still a good day of fishing
