Tautog fishing requires a sharp set of angling skills. The challenge of hooking this fast-biting bottom dweller has taken the tog from an unsung hero of the shoulder seasons to one of the most celebrated species in the Northeast.
However, tog fishing aboard a headboat presents a unique set of challenges brought on by increased competition from the other anglers and the larger structures targeted by the headboat fleet.
In this movie, Jimmy Fee heads out on two different headboats in search of trophy tautog hiding deep in rocky structure. Jimmy fishes aboard the Normal K III out of Point Pleasant, New Jersey and then heads to Snug Harbor, Rhode island for a trip with the PhishPhinders fishing club and the crew of the Island Current III.
