Headed out at the crack on Saturday with my buddy Rick with dreams of making it to some Mahi, but the west wind was blowing steady so we had to alter plans a bit. We ...more couldn't make bait onshore until the sun was fully up. Then the tails started flipping and we had a full livewell and about 8 gallons of chummable fish. I made a ChumMaster 5000 last year out of 4" PVC that is one of my proudest DIY wins. It's hilarious. Maybe I'll post some instructions, because it's been great to have.  Anyway, got bait and started out.  HIt the first 9-mile spot which was I guess about 7 miles off. I don't remember the marks, but I'm new enough to the area that I really only have public numbers.  I just got a Simrad Go7 with StructreScan, so I can actually find stuff now. We saw tons of fish on the finder and saw the box culverts on the side scan so we fished it a bit. Got a king on a flatline, got one on a big lipped diver - white with red head - and got a spanish on a spoon, but it got halved by something on the way in. We moved further out, eventually settling at the Desco complex, and got another king on a flatline, got broken off twice by something monstrous that inhaled pogies on 4-oz jigs on bottom.  I keep hearing tell of goliaths breaking people off, but whatever it was, both rick and I got broken off on the same tackle that easily handled the slob ARS he caught, so it was something strong. The curve ball of the trip was the spadefish. I had Rick bring his bowfishing bow, and we each got a spade. I cooked 'em up that night and they were good. Solid bloodline that needed to get cut out, but very tasty.  Weird to filet. Almost had to do it like a flounder. I'll get some pics or videos up later, but it was a good trip. Can't wait for a true Lake Atlantic day to get out to 100+ feet.
