PeterO Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 In RI the Francis Fleet out of Point Judith/Gallilee runs a daily tog trip. They're on the web.

Willy G. Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had a great time on the Seven B's yesterday, right next to the Frances. Had never done the tog thing before and they took great care of me (not, of course, to say the Frances wouldn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyee Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 do you guys bring your own rigs and sinkers? Their web sites just mention you get free bait and you can rent a rod. Do their rods come set up w/ braid? Canal: 12Me: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious4 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Was on the FF today. They said no hooks or sinkers for personal rods. I brought my own rod and didn't have any problems with free gear. Thier rods do NOT come with braid most I saw were ~30lb Mono. Today was great!! I punished them I got 2 8lbs a few 6's and handed out the rest after I limited. Actually the whole boat did great 78 people (***! they said that kinda weekday turnout was a fluke, yesterday was 21) almost everyone had multiple keepers. Two 11's and 2 10's were the brutes of the day. Master of all That swims!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyee Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks, Vicious. They give you tog rigs including hooks and sinkers you can snag/lose? And bait? Can't beat that :-) Canal: 12Me: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Mayhem Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 do you guys bring your own rigs and sinkers? Their web sites just mention you get free bait and you can rent a rod. Do their rods come set up w/ braid? They would only supply braid if they wanted their mates to commit suicide. I heard Frances Fleet has been doing great with tog, i have a few classes with one of the mates on there and he said its been very good.

Seaguar Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I was on the Frances last Friday. Incredible tog fishing I ever had. I limited 2 times, kept only 8. Frances don't like braid at all. I had to put 100' of mono top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious4 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I ran 30# braid with about 5ft of 30lb mono leader when we were on rockpiles. I clipped my leader and ran staright braid when we hit mussel beds. Tip: Know your tide strength and currents before you go out. they will saddle you with a 8oz or 10oz sinker just because. If it isnt necessary go with less weight. i caught one after the other when I changed from an 8oz to a 4oz and then a 6oz when the tide started to pull harder. Master of all That swims!!!

Darkman Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks for the recommendations. Should I bring my own rod or should I rent one? I have a medium action 8' Tsunami Airwave with 20 lb mono. Is that good enough for tog fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiknet Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 20# mono is a bit light IMO, esp. if you're going to be fishing wrecks. On mussel beds or scatterred rock bottom, you'll have a chance at putting some fish in the box with 20# mono, but if you're fishing over anything more sticky, you will probably be spending the majority of your time re-rigging while every one around you is fillling their coolers. I would go with a 7-8' rod rated for 20-40# line and 40# mono. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
