  • CHSP Tog (17.5”) & 8 Triggerfish (12-16”) Aug 25

    My initial plan was hitting Jonas Green for WP for a short period of time. But when I crossed the Severn River, I decided to go to CHSP because my truck had been loaded for CHSP and I wanted to continuously fish the walls this summer.

    While fishing at the Outer Wall, I called Minh to see if he wanted to come fishing because we had been talking about the outer wall fishing. After I caught 1 triggerfish and a good sized croaker, I came back to the inner wall to fish with Minh around 03:00pm

    We fished for triggerfish with shrimp and sand flee combo (hi-lo rigs with #1 hooks). After a few toadfish and croaker, we decided to move to a deeper water. We figured that triggerfish weren’t in the shallow water (3-6’) by the wall. We wanted fish in 8-13’ of water very close to the wall.

    While searching for the first triggerfish, we were talking about holes (8”-2' deep holes) that could hold tog. As I went through a nice 2' deep hole in 6’ of water, I felt something. I turned on the camera and fished the hole. There I set the hook and pulled the fish out of the hole/crack. It turned out to be a 17.5” tog. At the same area I landed 3 triggers @13-16".

    After that Minh landed 4 triggerfish (at 13-16”) in a row

      That's a good size trigger......the biggest I've heard caught yet. Man, I thought that place was running out of fish. Anyway, good work!

      Did you pick up live sand fleas at that marina, Joe?

            Nice catch guys. I have not caught or eaten a trigger before. How are their taste?

                  Moc,
                  Triggerfish and Tautog are now very popular to my non-fishing friends. All triggerfish and tog were picked up last night after I made sashimi quality fillet and the leftover for soup

                  Minh and I are planning to fish on Aug 31 (sat). Perhaps I drop the fish on the way back home - assuming I catch some.

                    Pinch,
                    Have you noticed something unusual about my new lucky rod? I have been carrying only one rod for CHSP fishing. The rod is truly for multi species, from spot to tog

                      Joe,

                      Bunch of us from NVA might be coming up Saturday for round two.

                      Hope to see you out there.

                          It looks familiar. Was the top guide replaced?

                            I think Michael mentioned it. I don't recall if I checked and the top guied looked OK. I will check when I get home. Anyway it is a perfect rod for CHSP, especially in summer when togs are small and multiple species are available. In the shallow water, 6-20' with braided line, it forces me set the hook not-so-forcefully (triggerfish) because it is flexible.
                            I am still planning to buy a Trevala for CBBT and for the deeper water with heavier sinkers.

                            I just checked the top guide looked OK. Michael might fixed it.
