I headed out on a beautiful morning to the south inlet jetty and threw the hook in 20 feet of water . I had two customers , Jeff and Jim , the owners of Boardwalk Joe's on 4th Street, along for the ride . We baited up with an assortment of baits , sand fleas , green crabs and frozen peelers . It wasn't long before the telltale tap , tap , tapping started and we were pulling tog over the rail . In about two hours we caught close to 40 tog and kept our 15 fish limit . Jeff and Jim , both recent transplants from Ohio were very quick studies when it came to hooking and landing the elusive and very tricky ruby-lipped beasts . We didn't catch any monsters but still had a blast and were left with some very tasty fillets . We also caught one that had a very nasty scar on top of his head , most likely delivered from some toothy critter in his younger days . The tog fishing is very good right now and will only get better as the water continues to cool . We have fresh green crab , sand fleas , clams etc. if you guys want to head down and get in on some of this actionhttp://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/stromus/AlltackleTog.jpghttp://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/stromus/nicefish.jpg[/img[IMG]http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/stromus/toghead.jpghttp://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/stromus/toggenstein.jpg
