Wednesday 12/8: A report from Capt. Nick Savene of Notime
Tog Fishing has been very good so far this season. Weve had limits plus on 20 of 22 trips. So far the biggest fish this year was a twelve lber. This angler was not in our tournament however. The leading fish was caught by Dave goodman and weighed in at 11.15lbs. Second is held by Hugh Kelly with a 10.05 tog. Last year our biggest was 14.30. We will be fishing all winter as usual both weekdays and weekends. If you have a small group and youre looking for others to complete a charter we may be able to fill it in for you. You can call me at 516 889-1968 for more info. Capt Nick Savene

Monday 12/6: A report from Lloyd Malsin of Nansea II
Fished the highlands Sat in blustery conditions but the tog made it worth the effort as we double limited keeping only the big boys with many over 8 lbs. Boat is being laid up and I and crew will finish out the season with Capt. Nick on No-Time charters. We will fish with Nick thru January and then switch to cod as Mother Nature stretches her arms. We had an outstanding first season on my new Carolina 32 and sincere thanks for my buddies for their help and confidence to do things we had never tried before. Thanks to mark for all the help and to the crew at Bay Park for their courteous service and extra effort. What a great team you guys are.
