I noticed that there were no rec anglers besides myself at this past Tues night scoping meeting on bluelines. In fact there were only 2 captains there; Capt Jeff Gutman from the Voyager and Capt Jim Cicchiti from the Atlantic Star (Wildwood). None of the "famous" six pack tilefish charter boats bothered to show up.

You sound pretty bitter Dave. Not everyone shares your passion for tiles. I've sent my share of emails on this subject to th appropriate parties. I'm not really sure why you have a hard on for these 6 pack guys. Perhaps I misinterpreted your comments?
