What are they like to eat? They look a bit like a wrasse. 

I believe they are in the wrasse family. Delicious eating. They basically live on shell fish so the meat is wonderful.

Nice looking fish. Do they fight well?

One of the strongest fish I can think of. They are absolute brutes. They will pull you into rocks or a wreck in an instant and cut you off. They can be frustrating but it’s very addictive fishing.

Nice fish! Well done. How are they caught? Bait/lure? Good eating?

Best bait are crabs. Tog can crush through shells with no problem. You can cut the crabs into a couple of pieces, they love it. Absolutely delicious eating 

Went out New Year’s Eve and managed a few decent tog. Fishing was kind of slow but the sea was calm which is a pleasure this time of year.
