PLAN YOUR TIME ON THE WATER

From the deep bottom.

Tilefish come from deep-drop fishing far offshore. If deepwater bottom fish interest you, ask about the long-range and 36-hour deep-drop trips.

They’re mild and sweet, and one of the best fish in the box at the end of the day.

Catches depend on season, conditions and current regulations. A photograph records a past catch, not a promise for your trip.

Good fit

Who this trip suits

  • Groups interested in deep-water bottom-fishing targets.
  • Anglers weighing tilefish with snapper, grouper, and mixed offshore plans.
  • Visitors who want the deep-water plan explained before choosing a date.
Planning

Planning notes

Deep water. Tilefish live on the deep bottom far offshore, so plan on a long day.

Pick the trip. Ask about the long-range and 36-hour deep-drop trips if tilefish are on your list.

Confirm the plan. Final depth, target mix, and timing should be confirmed with DTB.

Before you go

What to bring and confirm

  • Call if tilefish is the primary target.
  • Confirm run length, conditions, and expectations with DTB.
  • Bring offshore comfort basics and flexible timing when possible.
