Our weather to be unsettled still not too bad to keep us from to get out. We had an upper level Low pressure system pin wheeling around our region for well over a week now giving us cloudy weather, fog and some rain both light and heavy at times. For the most part up till this past weekend the wind wasn’t a factor with usually a mirror like ocean and just a swell or maybe a little chop in the mouth of the bay. Cooler temperatures arrived over the weekend with some pretty breezy conditions and I have for the 1st time since the spring seen water temperatures on the fishing grounds dip and stay below the 70 degree mark for more than a day.

Juvenile and adult tautog are entirely daytime feeders, with feeding peaks at sunrise and dusk. They’re so inactive at night that divers can catch them by hand as they lie motionless on the bottom. Tautog feed upon shallow water inverterbrates like mussels, clams, crabs, sand dollars, amphipods, shrimp, small lobsters and barnacles. Juveniles and adults living around shoreline ledges feed heavily on blue mussels; their flat grinding teeth are well suited for crushing the hard shells of such animals. (neangling.com)
