Trophy Tog with Hermit Crabs[/URL]: This episode we go looking for blackfish, not 14 inch keepers mind you, but trophy blackfish in Long Island Sound. We sailed with Capt. John Richey II on his new charter boat out of the Nissiquogue River on Long Island's north shore and hit the [URL="http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7896.html"]Smithtown Reef (file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Rich%20Johnson/My%20Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/thefishingline/RJ%20with%20John%20Richey%2011%20tog%202web.jpg) and points west.
We had a bucket of hermit crabs and were specifically looking for trophy blackfish over 10 pounds in late November just days before Thanksgiving. We used single hook rigs and fished 45 foot of water and found some great beauties and came very close with several fish 8 to 9.5 pounds!
Capt. John gave us some great info on fishing LI Sound for tog and of course the show would not be complete without a trip to his father’s store, Terminal Tackle (http://www.terminaltackleco.com/) in Kings Pak, Long Island.
We cover all the in’s and out’s of togging the fall season showed the tackle and rigs we used including the hermit crabs and what you need to know for trophy LI Sound Tog.
