The key is jigs under 3/8 oz, braid is key, sharp hook and you fish it obviously in structure and slowly work it over and around rocks, current makes them bite better. You fish it more like a circle hook, if you set on every nibble and that’s what it feels like, you will not hook up often. If I feel interest I move it with the rod tip, as it continues I move it more and only when I feel weight do I move the rod a bit further and if I feel resistance I set but it’s not a violent set. It’s a finesse game with plastic, but it’s fun. |

A friend of mine had 30 blackfish between 3 guys in Connecticut yesterday by boat. Most of the fish were 18-19 inches and they wanted cut green crabs on 1/2-ounce jigs. Larger jigs and alternate baits were basically ignored. Of course the short-term weather forecast isn't looking great, but it's not all that bad either.

We each have our own reasons to fish, I get that, but for me fishing is more about the experience than the meat. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE some good tog chowder or tog picatta, but I am just as happy playing catch and release on them all day as they are one of the hardest fighting, surprisingly technical fish I have targeted. |

That is motivating. The kid would be happy with any pull on the rod as long as he gets one for the table. Forecast isn't great, but maybe Sunday on the inside of some walls will be protected from the S wind. I'll take him to turn rocks for crabs to get him out of the house before then. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

That's the fun part
When my kids were small, the fishing rods would get tangled quick.
They would turn over rocks for hours and chase stuff with the bait net. |
