well, no I haven't winterized yet CaptPete. Looks like we are in a "warm" spell for awhile, may push it off until the holiday weekend. Saturday's busy and Sunday I am going to the Pats-Jets Game.
I went to tempest knob boat ramp, but they had already pulled the docks so I went to the marina by the maritime academy. Besides the closed ramp, a little problem with heart (svt - fast heartbeat thing), and not catching any keepers; I had a great day. It was nice and calm out there. When there was no wind and sunshine, it was actually pretty warm. I did catch 4 tautog besides nuisance fish (sea robin, perch etc). The first one I caught was probably close to the size limit, but I didn't measure thinking I will be catching more\bigger. MJ, I would have been real easy to find. I was the only one out fishing.

What kind of crab do you use and whats the size limit in your area? Around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge I have only had good luck with fiddler crabs and little to no luck with anything else for tog.

I was using green crabs bought from a bait shop. I was having better luck cutting the big ones in half, taking the top shell off, taking the claws off. I had no bites from the small ones (fiddler crab size) that I left intact.
Tatougs have to be 16 inches long and there is a limit of 3 fish here in MA.

BS and I live like maybe 10 miles from that ramp, we both have resident stickers for Tempest, But have used the Bourne Marine ramp that you used for years, and we used it a few weeks back as the roads to Tempest has been all dug up.
Glad you had a great day, let me know if you head up this way again! Captin No I have not winterized yet. Hell if I had a enclosure i wouln't bother, Thats next on the list!
