Sooner. Yes February! That should be a good time. Do you need/want tog?
Sooner would be great. You know where I am so lets pick a spot that is half way for both of us and catch some fish.
February will be great for sure. There will be a few of us so we will not only slay the fish but also eat like kings.
I do not "need" tautog as we did very well this year but if you have some that you are willing to spare, bring it in Feb and I will make a fish fry for the gang. My cast iron pans are coming with me.
