The Blackfish Tautog A Coastal Angling Powerhouse
Ted Keating profiles the tautog or blackfish, a rugged, colorfully unremarkable member of Labridae. The fish thrives along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Canada, offering abundant sport for shore and boat anglers in exchange for shell and crustaceans. Blackfish popularity rises among novice and seasoned anglers alike, with bait dealers noting rising inquiries about where to find them.

Blackfish Rods and The Rugged Gear For Tough Tides
The piece discusses gear for blackfish fishing, noting the need for rugged rods due to rock and snag behavior. It contrasts expensive tackle with ordinary boat rods and affordable surf sticks, which can absorb punishment and allow longer casts. It emphasizes durability over cost.
The Best Gear for Blackfish Angling
The guide urges plain bamboo or Calcutta canes 12 to 20 feet with tarred line and cutty-hunk linen. He emphasizes sinker weight at least three ounces to reach bottom and anchor bait, warns against pyramid sinkers, and recommends blued Virginia hooks Nos 1 to 8, with 5s and 6s most popular. Heinold notes light tackle can work with small lead and yields fun catching six to eight pound blacks.
