[cowkiller]

Anyone interested in doing a deep water tile fish trip this summer.Looking for 4 guys. we will leave at midnite and return about 6 pm that day.And maybe do some trolling on the way out and in.And also hit some of the 40-60 mile wrecks on the way home,,,joe

[cowkiller]

This trip would be in July sometime.,,,joe

[Jaye43b]

Joe ...How deep would you be fishing? I wondered whether we would we need electric reels for tile fishing?

[Quanman]

Very interested. Do you still have my #?

[Clam I am]

I'm interested...weather permitting that is

[Surfmeister]

Count me in. :D

Rain or shine...electric or manual reel, I'm there!!!

Hey Jaye, electric reeeeeeeeeels are for wusses and cheaters. ;)

[cowkiller]

We will be fishing from 300-600 feet of water, I do have 4 electric reels, yes it will be weather permitting of course, and yes quan still have your number.:)

[Surfmeister]

600 feet of water!!! :eek::eek::eek:
I think I just became a wuss...I'll bring the generator. :p

[Clam I am]

What???...no hand Lines???:D:D:D

[Surfmeister]

I have a nephew in the Navy...maybe he can hook us up with a nuclear submarine and a net. :rolleyes:

[cowkiller]

Ya you gotta fish deep for the tiles, we fish the edges or shelfs of the canyon.Use a high low rig baited with squid or clam and 2-3lbs of lead.Drifting is best.well hopefully we can pull this trip off this summer . you need all the rite conditions for a trip like this.

[Surfmeister]

600ft of water and 3pounds of lead...now we're talking some serious bottom fishing!!! I wish I hadn't thrown out that erector set.

[Quanman]

I have a buddy in the replacement window business. I'll tell him to save me some window sash weights.:eek:

[cowkiller]

Thanks quan but i have hundreds, wife wants me to get rid of them.:( I have alot of the 6lbrs and i cut them in half.

Thanks Joe. I have never used an electric reel before and used to think like Surf until I started cod fishing in Mass at George's Bank. Even with
6.1 reels, it was a challenge at the end of the day.

Would have liked to go but gotta wait til I get the green light on my leg. Hope Surf hooks into an alligator and you take away his generator. Give him a 2.0 reel for me. Post his picture. That is worth six of your favorite brewskis.
:beer:

[Surfmeister]

Well, that'll learn me for calling Jaye a wuss. :o

If we can get in on the boat, i have a winch that I fabricated from the guts of a windmill. Talk about a set of gears!!!

Maybe I'll just tie some high-lows onto the anchor chain...

We're talking July here...if we have to, we'll build you a fighting chair with a leg brace.

Joe

If it's a weekend and not July 5 or 12 (going lake fishing up above Lake Placid for a week this summer), you can count me in if you have an opening. Love to go deep!!!!!!!!!!!;) Never bottom fished that deep!!

Maybe we could swing by the Flemish Cap for a swordfish or two while we're there!!!!!!!:D:D

Your talkin' a 6hr steam till the first drop, yeah?

Rich

[cowkiller]

Rich, that trip will be about a 4 hour steam doing 17-18 knots.We will be fishing Southeast of the Texas Tower about 80-85 miles out.I also have some drops inshore of that.:o

What other species do you find while tiling?

[cowkiller]

On some of the deep wrecks like the Texas tower you will get cod, pollack, big hake, seabass and possibly some wreckfish.

[suilleabhain]

Joe count me in. Have to spool up a Penn 49
Bill

[cowkiller]

Bill I have 6 penn 6/0 reels spooled with 65lb power pro.And 4 electric reels.

[gimmesalt]

Sounds like fun, but I think I counted 4 already. I'll PM you my info anyway, standby or maybe another trip. July is good except for holiday weekend.

[cowkiller]

Gimme, Its still a while away. I will repost this Thread in June again and we will start a list and have a standby list if anyone cant make it due to day or date,, Ill keep you guys posted,,,joe:D

[Quanman]

Some big bluefins in the Texas Tower area. Especially when the scallop boats are around.

[cowkiller]

That is usally in the fall, there wont be any bluefins there in july,water is to warm maybe some Mahai or yellowfins.:thumb:

[Quanman]

Right on Joe, October is Primo...

[steventur]

Joe how big do Tile fish get. I remember eating 1 about 10 years ago at a High end itatlian Resturant


Steve

[suilleabhain]

not as big as they used to that's for sure. Now a lot of 10's - 20's
Years ago 30 & 40's were fairly common. And they were in shallower. Friend of mine did a trip where you could use sidewinders and 10-ounces.

Hey Bill,
Just out of curiosity, could you translate the meaning of your screen name and signature please. Tis Gaelic, no?

[cowkiller]

hey steve how are you ? like bill said most of the fish are 10-20 lbs but bigger ones can be caught, The world record was caught on the viking out of montauk a couple of years ago i beleive it was 64lbs.,,,joe

[steventur]

I did see a picture of that fish on another site. What does it feel like fishing in that deep of water . What does the bite feel like. How many hooks you and what type of bait.

Just Curious

Steve:laugh:

[suilleabhain]

Surf, Suilleabhain is the clan O'Sullivan name from the 1100's. Translation is lost to either One-Eye, Hawk-Eye or Black-Eye. Suilleabhain was a cheiftain in the third generation after landing in Ireland from Normandy

The pic is my family coat of arms, Sullivan is one of the royal names of Irish acendency

The signature is the motto that translates to 'with a clenched fist rule" or something more PC like with a clenched fist conquer and rule with compassion.

[cowkiller]

take a look at the federal fisheries post rj put up, we might not be able to catch them by july thanks to the feds,,,joe:!::!:

[Quanman]

May should be a good month.

[Quest4GiantBlue]

HI Cowkiller. I was looking for some info on the proposed restrictions but could not find any (actually, most of the writing is too long to read and I stopped reading Greek in the third grade) Any links you can provide? Also I've fished only once for Tile and its painfully rewarding with manual gear (Loved it), isn't July too warm for them?
TIA

[cowkiller]

gotta wait to see what the regs will be in july, the tiles will bite all year round in the deep water,,,joe
