CBBT (Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel) Tautog Fishing - April 09, 2013
This was the first saltwater fishing after 3 months of freshwater fishing (mainly in Lake Anna, VA) in 2013. I took a day off on a weekday and went to CBBT for Tautog.
Before the fishing, I didn't see any tog catching reports at CBBT. I was informed at a local tackle and bait shop that Tautog hadn't arrived yet in good number. - The first words I heard, regarding CBBT tog fishing at a local tackle and bait shop, were: "Tog? None catches any $#it yet"
The water temp at CBBT (Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel) was 52F. 52F was a bit colder than that of 2012 by 2 degree I thought.
I tried fresh shrimp, Gulp shrimp and Gulp peeler crab for 7 hours. (I also brought cooked shrimp, frozen blue crab that had been frozen since December last year for test in case of good tog biting). I had two good tog bites on fresh shrimp, but I failed to set the hooks. I caught a toad fish. I think the next weekend will be good.

I'm surprised they weren't biting. Thanks for the report!

I usually consider 1 week off (+ and -) of the average. I am hoping this weekend is different. I am planning to hit Delaware next weekend. Someone has to explore first.

Cool. I'll be going to Virginia Beach in a couple weeks, and going to Delaware in May.
