Part 2: Fishing On 4th Street For Tautog And...

[@JayReneeFree]

Hey Jay, on second st, did you ever try lures? I know about the rocks there, but didnt know about fishing on top there. Thanks again for any info.

[@ReelJayB]

I've done gotcha plugs and spooks but nothing on the bottom. I know big blues hang out there, but I haven't got one yet. I usually bottom fish there.

When i get home sick i come on here and watch your clips

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks Jon!

[@igoyt2335]

currently they are doing construction right where you were fishing. Do you know what they are doing to it or what they are building?

[@ReelJayB]

Expanding the skate park and basketball courts. That field was never used, so it's nice to see it being built.

Whats the best way to fish the inlet

[@ReelJayB]

High/low rig or a tautog rig with a 5oz bank sinker. Check out my tautog videos to see the rig. Smaller 1/0 or 2/0 hooks could get you tautog, sheepshead, triggers.

[@cgvoxakis]

How deep is it where you were fishing? I didn't seem to be much more than six feet or so.

[@ReelJayB]

6 feet is probably accurate. It's pretty shallow.

Can you eat at Tautog??

[@ReelJayB]

Yup! They are delicious

[@spanzek]

Well if you get some please do a video on how to prepare them. Thanks again!!

[@grandwonder5858]

@@spanzek No! It's poisonous! Do not eat or you'll be 6 feet under! The same as pufferfish!

[@dannykapz]

Good stuff Jay

[@kristyc8280]

Can you keep sheepshead?

[@ReelJayB]

Yup! No size limit, you can keep 4 per person per day.

[@robscards6313]

Yep, sheepshead have a really light bite....they like to suck the meat out of the shell

[@ReelJayB]

Absolutely insane how light the bite is!
