Didn't know where else to put this except maybe the comm section. Feel free to move it about.
Ok, so I see LOTS of reports of tilefishing going on at the hudson and southern canyons. It seems to be a staple when the tuna aren't cooperating.
But what about the northern canyons? I've found some NOAA research where they did test trawls around atlantis, so the fish are there.
Does anyone target them?
On one trip out, one of my crew brought some electric reels and we tried a couple of test drops at the tails, but all they brought up were dogfish. I let him pick the spot, and it's not where I would have set up to try it, so I'm not sure it really counts.
Anyway, just looking for some evidence they are there and can be caught. Dragging dogfish up from 450-800 feet is not my idea of a fun day.....
