Tony Guarino of Booked Off Charters reported a productive week of tautog fishing. They are starting to see some larger fish, including two over 10 pounds this past week. The bite has generally been steady with lots of action from short tautog and black seabass, along with some big scup, filling the gaps between keeper tautog. Full boat limits have been rare, but most trips have been seeing 20 plus keeper tautog along with some nice sized seabass and scup. They plan to keep fishing for tautog through November and potentially into December depending on the weather and bite.

Tony Guarino of Booked Off Charters said that the tautog bite is starting to heat up with several limits on trips this past week and other trips that weren’t too far off of a boat limit. They also had their first double-digit fish of the season this past week. There have been some good-sized black sea bass mixed in and they are seeing around a dozen keeper per trip along with some monster scup which they usually don’t see many of this time of year. They have been fishing a variety of spots ranging from 20 to over 80 feet and have been finding fish on nearly every piece of structure.
