    This 8hr. trip is to fill the freezer with delicious Mahi and Rosies. Summertime Mahi are really fun to catch and can be found in the same area as Rosies. These beautiful fish also go by the name Rock Snapper due to their white meat which is very similar to Snapper. They live on the bottom in 950' of water. Captain Bryan uses a 6 hook rig to catch several at a time. If you want a bunch of fish to eat, this is the way to do it. There is a $2/Rosie cleaning fee & $5/Mahi.

    (Full Day Trip – Offshore Fishing)

    Best Offshore trip we have ever been on!

    We caught mahi mahi and tile fish! The captain and mate gave us plenty of options/styles to fish. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of cabin room and nice sized bathroom. Even my 9 year old son had a great fishing experience. I would recommend the captain ken and mate Jim to anyone looking to fish out of Delaware. 10/10 experience.

    Great First Time Deep Sea Fishing

    Captain James and his deckhand Patrick were amazing! Most of our group had never been deep sea fishing before and it was an awesome first experience. They were both very knowledgeable and found us lots of Mahi. We’ll definitely be back to go with them again, I’d HIGHLY recommend booking with them!

About Tilefish fishing

Size
10-20 lbs
Food Value
Excellent
Game Quality
Low

Tilefish fishing targets a deep-water Groundfish prized for both fight and flavor. Most anglers look for Great Northern Tilefish, often called Golden Tilefish, known for firm, sweet fillets and bright colors. It’s a rewarding trip for anyone who wants a tasty catch and a steady, patient style of fishing.

Captains usually fish by deep dropping, a form of bottom fishing in very deep water. The boat drifts while heavy weights keep baits near the seafloor. Squid and cut bait work well. Many crews use electric reels, which wind the line for you and make hauling from depth easier. Your captain will explain the setup and keep you on productive bottom.

Expect a calm, focused day with steady bites when the drift lines up. Runs to deep water can take time, so bring layers, sun protection, snacks, and any seasickness remedies you prefer. Crews provide quality tackle, rigs, and bait, and they handle the heavy lifting when needed. Tilefish fishing suits first-timers and food-focused anglers who enjoy a relaxed pace and clear instructions from the crew.

Before you go, check local rules where you plan to fish. Regulations may require a fishing license or permit, and there may be seasons, harvest limits, and gear rules for Tilefish. Your captain can explain general guidelines, but it’s your responsibility to review current licensing and regulations with local authorities ahead of your trip.
