Thanks for the great compliment! It’s time for them now in my neck of the woods but unfortunately I’m out of commission awaiting a triple vertebrae fusion surgery in my neck! The pain is immense! Best of luck out there!

I’m actually in a pretty good place for weaks these days, I’ll let you know!

@@kenwesterfeldfishing2244 that would be awesome

Sorry a big tog.

THE BIGGEST,… so far. 😂

I like the BULL BAY 7’6” REEL ANIMALS 8-17 lb test spinning rod VERY MUCH for both jigging tog and buck tailing fluke. Although my only complaint about it would be that it needs a slightly longer rod butt. Therefore, I may have mine extended 6”. And when I’m in need of another one, I’d have it built with a 6” butt extension.

Open all year. One fish at 16” or greater per angler per day. I believe regs are the same in NY & CT

A swivel is made to spin. So I can only assume that any swivel in the system will cause spinning.

Thanks Mary! Gimme your channel again please, I wasn’t able to find it when I looked

😂😂😂😂

I use all 3 sizes, with the 6 1/4” medium size being my GO TO receiving the most amount of action. The small size also gets lots of bites and is highly effective when the fish are generally running smaller in size. The draw back is the smaller hooks don’t stay buttoned to bigger bass as well usually. So again I find that the 6 1/4” works best. I have caught some bass on the 6 3/4” but I don’t usually receive the same amount of action on it. Colors that I find work best for me personally are bone, chicken scratch, purple back/ silver sides, or blurple.

@Ken Westerfeld Fishing man that's awesome... I'm new to surf fishing and have been scouring KZbin channels for useful info on what to use, what not to use, etc. Loved the presentation and helpfulness of your video. Thanks brother

@@mikebailey6428 good luck out there

I think my buddy Rich is using a saltiga 15h and my buddy Al is using an Accurate Boss Valiant 400

She got it on a rig

They do.

Lol they literally do

Sorry for your loss. First I add 40 or 50 lb test mono line for backing I give the line 3 wraps around the spool and tie it tightly with an improved clinch knot. Then I reel enough on to cover the bottom of the spool and stop. Then I uni to to uni knot my 50 lb test braid to the mono and fill the spool. If you’re not confident in what I’m telling you just let a tackle shop spool it for you. They don’t charge a lot for the service.

@@kenwesterfeldfishing2244 thank you so it would be the same as a bait caster correct

@@younggunz4503 exactly

I fish an Ancient Mariner Black Phantom Jigger 5:2:1 and an Ancient Mariner Jigger 6:2:1

Thank you, that's a really great compliment. I sincerely appreciate hearing it I hope to be bringing you more shortly. Shot some good video yesterday and hopefully tomorrow will be another good day

Many thanks Dan! 💖

Good luck!

Hit me on FB messenger or Instagram. We'll talk.

Yes snagging and then putting them on 3 way rigs with circle hooks. Bunker can be present anywhere from April through November. You just have to find them.

@@kenwesterfeldfishing2244 Any recommended spots I should look?

@@nickrdgz9323 I don't know where you're located. I don't know where adult bunker are now except maybe the ocean. Bays, could be anywhere. But I have no immediate knowledge of their whereabouts at present. I'm focused more on tog fishing at the moment.

@@kenwesterfeldfishing2244 Apologies, I'm in CT. I'll figure it out. Enjoy your blackfish season.

@@nickrdgz9323 best of luck

There's another video for that

No never. I don't think that's necessary. I don't think you'll ever see a mate or a fish monger do that. You're not going to eat the skin, it gets skinned off of the fillet.
