Went on a 1 1/2 day tile fish for the first time on a non sponsor boat out of pt. pleasant. I went with my dad, Dave, and Had. Got to the boat Thursday night and off we went. Started fishing around 6 am. First drop was around 450 using 2lb of lead. First fish I got was a nice 9lb golden. Second fish I got was a 10lb blue line. There was a lot of nice action in that area. Mostly blue line and some golden. Then we made a move to a 900 ft drop using 3lb of lead. It was a little bit slower but had some nice fish come up. After a while cranking up 900 ft isn't fun. Then we moved to a little bit shallower area and caught more blue line and golden tile fish. At around 730 pm we were on our last drift and I got my personal best 15 1/2 lb golden tile fish. During the trip we also caught some rose fish and a wreck fish. Between the 4 of us we must of had 50 - 60 fish.
