  • CHSP Tog and Triggerfish - July 17, 2013

    CHSP Tog and Triggerfish - July 17, 2013
    It was the second fishing in 8 weeks due to heavy work load this summer. Took a Wednesday off and went to Cape Henlopen for fishing and possible spearfishing

    I shot about 10 times. I harvested 2 tautog @15inches and 2 triggerfish @15-16 inches at the outer wall

    Other spear fishermen killed several tautog @15-20 inches, Triggerfish @14-18inches, and Sheepshead @20inches

    Boat rod & reel fishermenon few boats caught several tautog @12-17 inches, triggerfish @14-17inches

    Water Visibility 6-9', Water temp 69-71F, Air 94F

    Fish like there's no tomorrow.

          Glad to hear that you finally took some time off...can't imagine what it feels like to not fish for 8 weeks. Going to fish 2 days next weekend for tog if anyone's interested the other 2 I will fish for flounder

            Very cool! When fishing with rod and reel, do Triggers hit the same baits as Tog?

              Small hooks Carolina rig and clam strips. Have two rods setup. Suspend the clam and drift along the walls until you hook up. Keep the first trigger hooked and the school will follow. Catch all of his buddies then reel him in. Its just like spadefish.

                  Shady,
                  I checked with the locals (two guys on the video). They used Gamakasu size 1 (not size 1/0) long shank hook for both Tog and Triggerfish. Green crab was used.

                      Sent a PM to you with my cell phone number

                      I am going tomorrow.
                      Here are what I learned on the last Wednesday:

                      I am bringing two anchors - I will anchor in 20-30' of water where no rocks are.
                      It will be shore diving. Not from kayak

                      I am also bringing a 20- 50' of rope. if the wind direction is OK I will tie my kayak to a dock frame (there is a broken dock at the point of the wall
                      Or I will anchor two lines on the top of the wall

                      You can bring wetsuit. Once get on the wall, you can wear and take off wetsuit on the top of the wall. I may bring 5mm wetsuit. The problem is I need 14lb weight for the 5mm wetsuit.

                      Before I get there they said, Triggerfish were on the top along the wall. I saw about 5 along the wall.

                      Triggerfish were 3-15' down
                      Tog were 10-20' down. Though a 20 incher was seen on the top, and it became a dinner

                      I am bring a wetsuit boots and scuba fins because I will be walking on the rocks all the time because I want to wear a hard sole shoes. Three experienced spear fishermen wore boots and a short and wide fins. Remember you will be walking on the rocks and diving from rocks (wall)

                      The outer wall is about 3-3.5 miles away from the launch.

                      You want a cart with wide wheels at Cape Henlopen state park because dry soft sand. With regular wheel it was very difficult

                      I am planning to be there between 8am- 4pm. It will give me 4-5 hour spear-fishing time

                      Tomorrow will be little rough for spearfishing due to wind. Though one side of the wall will be OK (but clarity can be very bad). and I will bring a rod, lure, and bait (possibly green crab)

                      Joe
