Ran over to Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle on a cold frosty Saturday morning. Chatted up Mark for a little before walking out with soon to be cut up green crabs. Pretty busy in the shop with everyone having tog on the brain. Dropped the boat in @10:15 and headed out to surprisingly wavy Sound. Took our time to avoid any spray and dropped the anchor in 30 ft of water around Eatons Neck. Down went the crabs and soon enough, up came the togs. The sun played hide and seek for a while, but soon enough the wind dropped out around high slack, and we were able to take off a layer as the temps climbed into the 40's. Just a beautiful afternoon on the water. Re set the anchor once as the outgoing picked up steam, but we were basically out of bait. The 4 of us had plenty of action for the 3 hours we were out, going through 8 dozen crab and managing a couple of keepers each, with so many 15 inchers that went back. A few porgy, hackleheads, a winter flounder and a keeper Sea Bass also came over the rail. Water temps showed 58 degrees.

Thanks for sharing . I was out on Saturday morning also right across the sound from you in CT. I got to the boat at 7ish and I must admit I was freaking cold! It did turn into a decent day by mid morning . I also saw that the temp was 58 degrees but what struck me was that I was out fishing about 4 or 5 days prior and the temp was 64 degrees. I was only in about 20 ft of water and I had my best day so far this season. I wonder if it’s because the temp got down a bit?? From my limited experience they are usually gone from the shallow water by the second week of November depending on the water temp I guess. Best time of the year. Happy Togging all
