Spring is "HERE".
« on: April 07, 2010, 10:29:51 PM »
Anglers:

I'm happy to announce that "Spring" is finally here. slt clp slt

We have had one heck of a winter and its offically in the books now. The "Tog" or as my dear friends in the north call them "Blackfish" are hungry, willing and able.

We started out with trips this past Thursday thru Sunday and worked them over. The bait of choice was "fiddler" crabs. Fresh blue crabs worked but the "Fiddlers" were the bait of choice. I have attached a pic of a young man and a fat "Football" tog that he landed.

Saturday afternoon, myself and 1st mate Capt. Green decided to slip back out after our charter and catch some fresh fish for dinner. Immediate limit was reached and he called ahead to have the grease hot and the drinks cold.

Not a better way to "Welcome" in the Spring besides fresh "Tog" and Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs.

If your looking to get out of the house, give us a call and come and "Enjoy" fishing Va Beach & the Chesapeake Bay in the spring.

Capt. Scott

Here it is Rod, Capt Mike posted this last year.
I did try this and it was tasty   t^


Mikes post:

Here is a recipe that I tripped across on another site. I tried it and would like to share with others.

1. Cut Tog fillet's into 1 inch cubes
2. Boil a medium sauce pan full of water
3. Add 3-4 Tablespoons of Brown sugar
4. Add Tog fillets and boil for just over 4 minutes.
5. Remove fish from broth and strain.
6. Season to taste with salt, pepper and old bay.
7. Dip in melted butter and enjoy.

My wife and I have made this on several occasions and enjoy it every time. It has a crablike texture and taste very similar to snow crab legs. 

Enjoy
