Great Trip with my Dad and youngest Brother. Decent weather until it was about time to head home...seas ended up getting a bit rough, but it just adds to the story right!?
Fish Caught: Black Sea Bass up to 24", Porgies up to just over 20", various eels, and a single Ling.
Tackle: 2/0 or 3/0 Octopus and Bait Holder hooks on 40 lb leaders with 16 oz and 20 oz Lead
Water Depth: Ranged from 160ft - 210ft
Rods/Reels: Me (Fathom 15LD2 w/ Tsumani Airwave Heavy Jigging Rod), Brother and Dad (Daiwa Classic Rods w/ Shimano Charter Specials)
Outcome: A great time had by all with plenty of fish and good times. I am a bit sore and tired but it was WELL worth it. Now I need to go finish vacuum-sealing the fish.

Cool beans brother.....Great looking family and lots of fish.....doesnt get much better....Bill
Nice fish! That's some serious seabass and porgy tonnage
Great Pics Dan.
Glad you got to get on the water with your pops and Bruh. ;D
Very nice Dan, that's some good eating fish. I might have to come along next year.
Tell your Dad I said hello, I'm glad he got out with his boys and show them how it's done :)
Awesome trip Dan! Black seabass are on my top 5 best eating fish.
Thanks for reading guys.
Sal - That would be great! Very enjoyable trip, I plan on doing at least one next December.
Good stuff, Dan. Happy to see you out with your pops and bro. Looks like a plentiful trip full of bubble gum chewing bass, dinner plate porgy, and large waves. Really nice fish... enough to make a guy jealous. ::)
Say hi to dad and happy holidays to you and the family.
I can smell the bass on the grill now, enjoy!
Dom
Nice, Dan. I need to get out there... An AT trip out of Jersey would be a big motivation. :D
To you as well Dom - We just had Dalessandro's cheesesteaks on Sunday and Dad and I both agreed that there needs to be another 'gathering'...
Decker - I am all in; it may not be solely AT members, but I'm sure there are quite a few that would be interested.
Great trip and photos. Dominick

I guess the first thing would be to get a feel for what kind of trip Philly area AT members would like to do. Which is the best forum to post that?
