Great message at the end. I've been fishing from my yak since 2012 and I love every trip even when I get skunked. Finding your own spots and fish are the most rewarding aspect of fishing!

That looks like a whole lot of fun right there. Nice yak too man.

I agree with you. It’s just nice to get out and enjoy the scenery. If you catch fish awesome if not oh well

interesting seeing you evolve with the gear This is some heavy tackle compared to the Okuma you're currently using. Great Videos!

I'm with ya! Once you start enjoying GOING fishing catching fish is just the icing on the cake! Mmmm icing.

Sup. Tautog are worth the work. Like steak from sea😁. Hmm what bridge is that?? nice one. That's why it's fishing not shopping👍. Ty tc

Nice Job Jonny! I appreciate the honesty at the end. Any day on the water beats a day at work! This vid brought me back. I went to school right there yet never knew about the fishery then like I do now. I had great fishing right behind my dorm but college is full of distractions and I never got around to trying. 8 years later and I'm back in NH my home state. Last year I did tow my boat to Newport for the first time in August and did really well with stripers and blues. I hope the state opens back up so I can go down again. I always like exploring and trying new spots on the water. Keep it up and tight lines this season!

dude thanks for the effort of making this vid. I'm in RI to and a huge fan of Tog battle :)

It's been years since I've been fishing or spearfishing for blackfish as I moved south and out of their range. Blackfish sure are tasty critters. The bottom sweeper jigs you are using are good for producing fish, I'm surprised that you didn't get any Sheepshead in with the blackfish. It was nice watching you catch some fish as it brought some memories back to me. As you pointed out, and it's good practice to always check your line for abrasions as that is where your line will break every time. Something that I've learned is to set the drag with a scale to 30% of the lines breaking strength. 3 pounds of drag for every 10 pounds of test because drag increases as the line gets closer to the bottom of the spool. Tight lines.

I fished the mt hope bridge last year i went out on the boat yesterday only caught some searobins but thats fishing nice video buddy keep up the good work and enjoy every day

Fishing that bridge is boss mount, hint, hint

Lighter rod

I absolutely hate tog fishing. I lost like $40 in snagged gear all to catch nothing.
