Nice video! What bridge is?

[@BradWeil]

Hi, thank you for your comment and question! The exact bridge and location is not that important. Most bridges within a few miles of the ocean will hold lots of life. My opinion is the tide, water clarity, presentation is what is important, as well as fresh live bait like green crab, sand fleas or even better fiddler crabs. I leave the jig on the bottom (for tog) in one spot. I do not set the hook on light nibbles/tabs which are most of the time small fish. When I get a heavier bite and or the jig starts to move is when I set the hook. Also, chumming the crab legs before you start to fish is key to get them into a feeding mood if they are not already.

@@BradWeil yes it is that's why he asked. Just say you don't want to say rather than sounding like an ass.

​@Mike-hs8fq sounds like you have a hard time finding fish 😂 literally almost any structure in the back bay to the ocean can hold tautog.

[@BradWeil]

@@MannyMerc I found plenty of fish like I do every trip. Only had frozen sand fleas for bait as my tackle shop was out of fresh live bait. Appreciate your support and kind comments!

[@MannyMerc]

@BradWeil I was replying to Mike after he said you sound like an ass. I also agree with you about the exact location not being important. My go-to bait is frozen sandfleas. I catch and blanch my own. Sometimes, I'll flip rocks for asain crabs. You can refreeze blanched fleas and use them until they're gone. Great video.
