First big run of the season found the Fin Chaser in 325′ of water looking to fill the box with tilefish and black sea bass. Conditions were tough as the current was screaming out of the north. Combine that with a SW breeze and a lot of lead was required to hold bottom. Bite was good, even great, but our hook-up ration wasn’t. Pulled the plug about 45 minutes early due to ever increasing winds. Back in the slip with 20 blueline tilefish and about 30 black sea bass in the box.
