How are you fishing the sand fleas and crabs, if you don't mind sharing?

 

[sutphinda]

I use a hi low rig... 6 oz sinker to stand up to the current and I pray i dont get stuck in the rocks. LOL... I like to use live sand fleas and I hook them in the back... I use live fiddler crabs and hook them in the back... I use green crabs and cut them in half and hook them unless they are really small... I use blue crabs as a last resort (i hate them) and I cut them in quarters...

Thanks for sharing that. Do you know the depth of the water you're fishing? I'll have to look into the hi-low rig and set that up to target some tog.

It's been too windy for me for CBBT
Here is my report at the same time period.
On Sunday, Oct 16, 2016, I saw only one kayaker on a motorized kayak.

Water Temp: 64 - 68F
Wind: calm
Bait: shrimp

I wanted to catch tautog and sheepshead. I bottom-fished between the 1st SBC (small boat channel) and the First Island. I picked about 12 bridge pilings. For 6 hours, I caught 10 puppy drum at 16 - 21", 5 black drum, 5 conger eel, some oyster toad fish, some black sea bass, and 1 sheepshead at 18"

I went out a few weeks ago at the CBBT with a couple other guys and we caught our limit of Tog in a few hours. Are they still biting? At what temperature do they leave for deeper water?

 

[sutphinda]

Some fish never leave the bay... Some do... I usually dont catch em after 46 degrees. But thats me... I havent been in like two weeks
