Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey

Caught six of these today

Squeaked out a hndful of tautog on a rough day. They were hitting good on sand fleas but only the bigger ones, which i found hard to come by. The rough water made them fight extra hard, definetly worth the extra patience.

My friend’s first time togging, we slayed caught over 3 dozen. Ive never seen so many big tog in one day, all over the jetty, yet I still havent got my keeper smh. Its driving me crazy.

Fishing is insanity. I know theres keeper tog out here and im going insane trying to catch one. Went to the surf to catch a few cocktails, need the striper to get here just for something different to target.

Sandy Hook was a complete bust so i headed down to Belmar and the Tautog bite was incredible. No keepers yet again, but i cant complain about over a dozen tog in less that 3 hours, most over a foot.

Went up to Long Branch but apparently the striper and blues were even more north, so i caught some dogfish while catching sand fleas. Caught quite a few Tautog but nothing much over a foot, illnever get my keeper at this rate.

New PB tog, still looking for a keeper. They were biting even more finicky than usual and i couldnt find many big sand fleas, which they seem to prefer.
