  • Top this - CBBT Tog & Striper (Dec 28, 2013)

    I made the last trip to CBBT (Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel) on Dec 28, 2013. My primary target fish was Tog (Tautog). I wanted a keeper tog in December so that I could set my own record - Catching tog every month except Jan, Feb and Aug.

    I fished for tog for 4 hours without a bite. I had to go back to home early. On the way back to the shore from the 1st island, luckily I found a school of small stripers in 37-38' of water. I caught some stripers by jigging a 7" green albino Super Fluke (by Zoom).
    At least I avoided getting skunked, i thought

    Then, somehow I landed a tog at 21" on the same lure that worked well for stripers.
    No, I didn't foul-hook the tog. The tog ate the 7' fluke (7" Mag Super Fluke, green albino by ZOOM + a 2 oz jig).

    It was a pleasant surprise. Yes, where there's a will, there's a way

            I know you can catch togs on blackfish jigs. But wow, on green plastic?!?! I think you made a rare discovery. Your hard work paid off!

              Michael,
              One of two candidate titles of the episode was "It's the rod". I mentioned this few times already. I don't think you really understand what you gave away
              The rod catches anything in the water, even baitfish such as spot. It's cast-able, sensitive, and has backbone. Somehow the rod made me to scan/fish a few structures out of the hundreds. All I have to do is just bring it

              Remember one day in July years ago at Bay Bridge, MD? You showed me catching 30"+ stripers. I learned jigging works, and I mimic what I saw that day...
