They have arrived, put 20 in the box yesterday and my buddy didn't take all 10 filets home with him, so I'm good for the short term. Boy nothing beats a panko incrusted black sea bass, man o man is that good. Pretty much on schedule based on memory, seems about mid summer I start hitting them jigging deep off the Vineyard, my problems was dropping my jig fast enough to get thru the damn bluefish. Was quite the show yesterday, everywhere you looked baitfish flying out of the water trying to avoid the blues, fun to watch while drifting and jigging. Between the tide the strong winds, even the drift sock didn't slow you down much yesterday, had to adjust tactics to hit bottom. Oddly the adjustments actually triggered strikes, so it worked out well. Love my Trevali jigging rod for this type of fishing, I know they were designed for speed jigging tuna, but boy to the lesson the fatigue when snapping jigs in 75 feet of water.
Moses can you email a copy of that article, don't subscribe but I'd like to see it.
