So, had a second tog trip to OC. Again, got at least one almost legal tog. This time, it was 15 7/8. If I pinched the tail just right it was barely 16. To be safe, I tossed it back.

What bugs me, is that this fish is perfectly legal in Delaware: http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/fw/fisheries/pages/recfishsizeseasoncreel.aspx

I continue to catch 15+ inch togs. They either need to coordinate the adjacent states laws, or I need to find a spot in Delaware.

But if you fish Delaware don't you have to buy a Delaware license?

DE Licenses aren't very expensive, even for non-residents.

I will really be looking into this. I'm sick of getting 15+ inch togs and need to toss them back.

You know what's going to happen when you start fishing DE, you will only be catching 14 1/2" togs.

Ha! You know it....... I once caught a huge bass, two days before the season started........

DE tog season ends on 11th

DE has a very weird schedule.

If you put the tog in an icebox it shrinks. I've seen so many people get ticketed because of it. 16" is still not enough unless you plan on leaving right away.

I had a friend who this happened to. He was there for 3 days, checked out of the hotel with everything iced down. The DNR guy dumped out the ice chest and measured everything. One, he said, was undersized.

Stanley, you did way better than me. I was at IRI 9am till 6pm sunday only had one 10 incher. It was windy windy and the water was dirty.
all the fishermen left by 3pm because of no bite even the lurers trying for stripers did not stay long.
