Took a 2 day Voyage out of Pt. Pleasant Sunday to Tuesday for tilefishing. Weather was great on both days with pretty much flat seas. First day started off with 2lbs. of lead but was able to drop to 20 ounces in 400 ft. of water by the end of the day. Limited out on goldens and bluelines and also added some rosefish and hake to the mix. Nothing big that day as a 20lb golden was leading the pool. Second day we tried different areas for more hake, rosefish, barrelfish and wreckfish. Last drift the captain pulled out one of his honey holes and quite a few 20lb tiles came up then a 43lb was decked to take the pool. Mates were great and attentive from second the boat departed to loading my cooler in my SUV at the end of the trip. Definitely do another one of these trips!

Heard a guy had to get air lifted by the coast guard offshore on Tuesday from a PB 60 miles off AC/Cape May. Was this your trip?? Hope the guy was okay.
