About Miami golden tilefish

Golden tilefish live on the deep mud bottom off Miami, in 600 to 900 feet and more. They are one of the most prized eating fish we target, sweet, delicate and worth every foot of the drop.

How we fish for them

Electric reels, heavy weights and multi-hook rigs sent to the bottom in serious depths. A specialty trip with a different rhythm than trolling, and a fish box people talk about.
