So helpful! This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and already so much more helpful and informative than a lot of the TH-cam fishing videos I’ve seen. I’m new to saltwater so showing from start to finish what to do is awesome and I appreciate you showing how to tie the knots too. Only place around my location with similar jetty’s would be cape cod canal I think. Might be heading down there for some Tautog!! Thanks man - Matt from Boston
Saltwater fishing can be pretty overwhelming at first for sure, so I’m glad you were able to learn some stuff from this! Thanks very much, Matt appreciate the kind comment! Best of luck out there at the Canal and tight lines.
Great informative video. I've been slowly getting back into fishing since coming back to Jersey from the Navy. I've been trying to catch my first tog with little to no knowledge of what to feel for. I really appreciate the video and will try to get on a tog with your tips. Thanks
Very thorough video. You hit every point that is important with blackfishing. One tip that seems to work being a jetty jock, put a 30' top shot of 30LB mono leader. If you encounter a snag and break off, just re-tie a loop for your sinker and a dropper loop for your hook (just get really good at tying knots on the fly) - you will need to use a heavier sinker if using a 30' topshot of 30LB test mono as it creates alot of drag in the water. I carry alot of hooks and 4 and 5 oz sinkers.
Thank you for the tip! Thats a very good point, makes having to tie a bunch of rigs the night before less of an issue when you can use the same leader!
I was fishing for tog for the first time today down in point pleasant and got skunked me and my son wemt through nearly 2 dozen crabs but those tog are unbelievable bait thieves lol Great video with lots of great tips im hoping i can put them to good use the next time we are out Fyi i just hit the following button
Tog are super tricky, but don’t be discouraged, once you hook into one it’s so much fun! Thanks for watching, glad you learned some tips and hope they help when you’re out next! Thank you for following along.
@@SaltySamFishing thanks for the reply and the tips I moved to the us 5 years ago from the uk I used to fish at home but mainly freshwater but since I've been here I switched it up to the saltwater mainly targeting stripers,fluke and blues but done tuna aswell.there is a way better fishery than anything I've experienced in Europe and I've been around most of it what we catch and eat at home is mainly mackerel and i use that for bait here lol
Thanks for posting another video. Saw you in the audience at the surf fishing seminar on Saturday. I was there with my son and niece. I would’ve said hello but we had to bolt immediately after not winning any door prizes or the 50-50. We caught tog off the inlet rocks that afternoon.
Nice, hope you were able to pick up some tips and tricks from the seminar, sorry no luck on the 50-50, but I feel you on that haha! Glad to hear you were catching tog too.
@@SaltySamFishing on Sunday I was fishing a kingfish rig with sand fleas next to a jetty on the south end of the island and was surprised to catch a few nice tog instead
@@mistercarpenter5895 that’s awesome!! I’ve never actually even tried that on the south end but very cool to hear you were getting them on a kingfish rig.
Thank you, I really appreciate the comment and I’m glad you got some value from it! Nope they’re all over on either side and all the way down past the light house!
Awesome video Sam. This was an amazing how to vid. Everything about is was great. Perfect timing with the tog chowder recipe. It looked delicious. It’s just about feeling like soup weather out there 😂.
Great Video! Always love all the info you provide. Do tog only hang around jetties, or can you have a chance to catch them near any bulkhead or structure?
This is a great question! Really the easiest way to get on them is at the jetties. However, they can also be found around docks and bridge pilings. If there’s structure around either a bulkhead, dock, or bridge then they can likely be found there (kayak access can make reaching those structures I’ve mentioned easier). Hope that helps.
Glad you found it informational! Hopefully not about the poaching though. I hope all viewers are following regulations and possession limits. It’s always disappointing to hear stories of poaching, but I’ve also heard fish and wildlife has been cracking down more recently so hopefully that can improve things.
i think these fishing regulations are so stupid, its so hard to keep a fish, they make it almost impossible for in shore fishing, you cant keep a 14 inches black fish, but you can buy as many as you want at the fish market, i feel a lot of people feel the same way
Yeah regulations are definitely contentious across the board. I attended the fluke open meeting this year and I plan on attending more open meetings regarding regulations to learn more about it in the future. I know there’s a constant battle between recreational and commercial fishing which affects regulations in regard to conservation. It is tough to get that keeper size fish inshore sometimes though, I agree!
Looks like a good recipe for when the weather cools off just a little bit more
Absolutely, the nights and early mornings are getting colder so it’s almost that time!
My favorite time of the year!

Nice video. I recently learned a tog can be ‘peeled’ like a mahi mahi. I prefer to cook fish whole and it’s practically impossible to scale a tog.
No way, I didn’t know that! I’ll have to give it a try, thanks for sharing that tip.
Another great video. Love the info about the species. The cooking segment is excellent.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching! 🤙
Awesome vid man, I've been wanting to cook up a tog chowder!
Thank you bro, I’m sure you’ll be getting some keepers on the board this season to cook some
up!
Excellent video 💪🏽💪🏽 going black fishing soon here on Long Island
Thank you! Good luck out there, hope you get on some great fish.
Great tips, fishing and that chowder looked amazing as well.
Thanks Lou, I’m glad you enjoyed!
The school of fish! Lol! Very informative! Great video!

@@pavetech6980 true mackerel makes good bait 😂 we’re definitely fortunate to have such a good saltwater fishery!
@@SaltySamFishing💯 we definitely are Goodnight God bless and tight lines 🤙

Awesome video as always! Sam's video, graphics, tutorials are top notch.
Thanks so much man, glad you think so!
Superb easy editing and beautiful video.
Can we fish with the Caroline rig?
Yes you absolutely can! Carolina rig is another good rig for tog fishing. Thanks for watching and supporting!
Great video, one of the best I have seen on Tog. Does it matter what side of the jetty you fish?
Thank you, I really appreciate the comment and I’m glad you got some value from it! Nope they’re all over on either side and all the way down past the light house!

Thanks Michael, I appreciate it!

Thanks Steve, I appreciate that! Man, it really is, the nights have been getting pretty brisk, exactly the time to start making some soups haha!
Great video Sam

now twice the amount of shorts are gonna get poached. Great vid, very informational.

FYI, never wash your crying towel during the season, you'll wash all the good luck out of it, lol.
😆 that’s a great tip, thanks David, this thing is never getting washed now!
