A few boaters battled winds gusting to 40 m.p.h. to fish for tog Sunday, when the bag limit rose, and they did catch a few tight to shore, but Capt. Ralph and Last Lady Fishing Charters waited until Monday, he said in an e-mail. He was glad he did, he said, because the individual-reservation trip scored the fish for all the anglers, and left the tog biting. The slipperies weighed up to 8 pounds, and angling close to the beach wasn’t too good, and Ralph made a few moves and found the action on very rocky bottom in 40 feet. More individual-reservation blackfishing trips will fish every Wednesday and Sunday in November and December and also Friday, November 28, and Thursday, December 26. The season’s first offshore wreck-fishing trip was slow on November 11 in tough conditions, covered in a previous report. Dogfish were abundant, but a healthy pull of sea bass was found at the end of the day, and the anglers left them biting. A couple of cod to 20 pounds and a few porgies also came up. Jumbo sea bass just started to migrate to the grounds, and should begin to be abundant in December. If interested in going on an individual-reservation trip for the fish, contact Ralph, and he should be able to put together a group. Jigging and fishing with bait for striped bass was going well, and Ralph expects the action to hold up well into December.
