10/23 Went out after work yesterday fishing with my ex-wife and Dennis. Hit the tube just at the end of the 1st Island for some tog and to cast some for stripers. No stripers and a 12" Tog. Shifted over to my favorite Tog Hole and hit up 3 more keeper Tog (16" 17" & 19"). Later in the evening fished first and second island--Dennis picked up two stripers 19"-21".

10/24: Went out this morning to my Tog Hole and had a few bites and a throw back and Dennis caught a keeper. Slow bite so figured try the 2nd Island over the tube. Decided too tough to fish for Tog there with the swells and wind so moved down the island and achored up. Anchor gave way and reset itself a little further in and down the island. Didn't look to Toggy smile.gif on the depth finder seemed like flat sandy bottom. Dennis hooked in something very big -- thought maybe a big tog or possibly a puppy drum--lost it half way to the boat. Shortly after he hooked up again with a fat 18" or so Tog. This spot turned out to be pretty good for us, not many hang ups at all, and we pulled about 10 Tog from it. Both went home with our limit and now getting ready to filet them out. Tog were pretty much between 16 and 19"'s. Don't know where the 20+" tog are? Maybe someday soon I'll find one--still really new to this toggin thing but definately loving it. Especially the good eating they provide--everyone who helps me eat the Tog have said they are the best fish they have tasted.
