Deep drop charter on Memorial Day

[kilsong]

I arranged a deep drop charter for 22 guys on 100' Atlantic Star out of Cape May on Memorial Day.
We fished 600 ft - 900 ft and most guys used manual reels.
Fishing was decent in good weather and we caugt decent amount of golden tile, blueline tiles, wreckfish and roses ( red perch).

Stragely, guys who used electric reels, didn't do well. I think their stuffs are too heavy or they didn't master how to use electric reels.

Pool fish was about 35 - 40 lbs golden tilefish. I hoped someone on the boat would land a record tile fish as we fished the same area wher they landec a tile very close to IGFA record fihs a couple weeks ago, but it didn't happen on this trip.

Kil, nice pics! What is that eel looking fish? Also, if a fish is hooked by multiple lines, who gets credit for landing it?

That is silver eel. The fish belongs to the fishermen who has his hook deepest in the mouth of fish.

It is not warsaw grouper, but wreckfish which is very similar to hapuka I caught in Three Kings Island, NZ.
