Fishing Overview: Blackfish (Tautog)

The approach to catching blackfish is typical of most forms of bottom fishing. However, getting good at catching them is a challenge. These fish are clever and complex. Once hooked, their rod-pounding runs down back into hiding places will set your heart racing, warming your body up in an instant despite frigid conditions this time of year!

2. Typical tackle used: 15-40lb class rods, conventional reels with 30-50lb braided or 20-25lb monofilament line.
