Recorded May 25, 2026 for the MyFishingCapeCod podcast

• On this episode of the MFCC podcast, Kevin and Eddy discuss Tautog Fishing and the various factors involved in 'Cracking the Code' for Spring 'Tog'.
• We focus on Tautog but this time of year there are several species migrating into Buzzards Bay and the Sounds, namely Striped Bass, Black Sea Bass, and Scup.
• We get into productive bates and lures to present them, including the new Scudetto Jig from Monomoy Tackle.
• We discuss tips and tactics in traditional 'hard' structure.
• We discuss the need to adapt and understand the behavior of Tautog through their spawning patterns and move from one habitat to another.
• On this trip, moving from rocky structure to muddy bottom was key to finding keeper sized fish.
• We look at the combination of Location, Tide, Bait, Gear, and being adaptable as factors in a successful fishing trip.
