Artist Note: At times customers or anglers request us to use a reference photograph to paint by. If so our skilled artists will identify any unique characteristics in the photo which are later reflected in the completed paint scheme. This is why no two mounts are ever exactly alike and explains the differences you may see in the coloration of the various mounts.

- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Tautoga onitis
- Average Weight: 1 - 4 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Found in salt water from Nova Scotia to South Carolina. Tautog, in the northern part of their range, are typically within several miles of shore in water less that 50 feet deep. More southern populations can be found farther offshore. Tautog frequently follow flood tides inshore to feed and drop back to deeper waters with the following ebb tides. Tautog are found in association with cover, hovering around steep, rocky shorelines or hiding near wrecks, wharf pilings, piers, jetties, mussel and oyster beds, and boulder strewn bottoms.
- Biology: Tautog reach a maximum size of 3 ft, 25 pounds.
- Physical Description: Tautog are brown and dark olive, with white blotches, and have plump elongated bodies. Tautog have many adaptations to life in and around rocky areas. They have thick rubbery lips and powerful jaws. The backs of their throats contain a set of teeth resembling molars. Their skin also has a rubbery quality with a heavy slime covering, which helps to protect them when swimming among rocks.
