I am looking to try a tile trip for the first time. I have caught a few while on a tuna trip but never actually went out looking for them. When is the best time to go for tile? I also heard that going on a boat from south jersey will cut the travel time to the canyons by a lot, is this true? Does anyone have any recommendations of a particular boat? I know the voyager used to go a lot but I thought I heard they sold. Also, I wouldn't even know where to start with tackle so any information would be helpful! !! Thanks all!

If you near Brielle go to the Reel Seat if I'm not mistaking these guys live for Tile fishing I'm sure they give you a lot of info and tips.

Thanks Joey. I'm about an hr and a half away from there but I may just have to take a ride!

I think it would be worth your time.

Hi Togman16, I see you want to venture out to the deep. Like Joey said, go see Dave n Eric at Reel Seat, they have setups in all price ranges and they are All Good plus all the other toys that you will need! I don't know their winter schedule so I would call first. As for the Voyager, she is just Bigger and Faster now. Dennis

The previous WR Golden and now the Current WR Blueline tile was caught by Capt Jeff on the Voyager and the crew, fellow anglers that fish her are Second to none. So, I think that's an Emphatic Yes. lol Dennis

Thank you dennis. If you don't mind could you tell me what type of set up and gear you use? I'm a rookie for these fish.

I've been chomping at the bit for the V to post his schedule for this year. I love tile fishing too. Seems as though no one is doing it currently.

I have 3 rods that I use, one's a Calstar tuna jigging rod, a Garone rod and a White glass tog rod, all around 8 foot and can handle up to 3 pounds and still have sensitivity. Reels: Trinidad 40, Jigging Master Pe8 and Ocean Master P10. Stay with a ratio of 4:0+/- and you'll do fine. Like I said, Dave will set u up with the right stuff according to what u like and want to spend. All my reels came from Dave if that helps with your decision making. Dennis
