Jimmy finally catches his long-awaited double-digit tautog, and the crew has plenty to talk about after a memorable day fishing with Captain Rob Taylor off Newport, Rhode Island.
On this episode of the On The Water Podcast, Jimmy, Matt and Liam break down their annual fall tog trip aboard the Reel EZ, including the moment Jimmy landed an 11-pounder, Liam’s first trip with Rob, and the techniques, tackle and decisions that made the day memorable.
The crew also talks about the art of catching tautog, from reading subtle bites and setting the hook to choosing between jigs, Snafu rigs and traditional bottom rigs. Along the way, they revisit their first tog, compare the appeal of tog and sea bass fishing, discuss big-fish conservation, and share a few behind-the-scenes stories from around the On The Water office.
Plus, there’s a little Halloween chaos, vacuum-sealed fish, a discussion about the mysterious nickname “Molly George,” and plenty of fishing tangents along the way.
