**CLARIFICATION ON GOLDEN TILE REGULATIONS**
You are allowed ONE Golden tile per angler with no vessel maximum (limited by number of anglers) However they do count toward your grouper aggregate limit. 3 anglers = 3 golden tile, 4 anglers = 4 golden tile, etc. Please do your research, call NOAA to verify any specific licenses and regulations before fishing federal waters - there are serious fines tied to catching more than the law allows.
The best explanation and technique explaining for Golden Tile. Awesome video!!
The Tile Fish live in groups of pretty much the same size so if you catch a smaller one move away maybe 100-200 feet and try again . Also if you can find where a slope starts next to the muddy bottom try up the slope maybe 50 feet or so and let it come back down to the bottom . The bigger ones will be on that slope most times . Here off Virginia Beach you can find them more so in 650-800 feet for the bigger ones .
Great info!!
Nicely done..thanks for the tutorial.
Good show mate , nothing like dragging ooglies up from the depths
Cheers from Aus
Good stuff! Great info and video!
Thanks!🤙
Great Video Capt!

That means a lot! Thank you 🙏🏼 💪🏼
Great video..
Great video. You took the time to explain every single step. The only think you did not show was the numbers you were fishing :). I have been thinking of trying deep drop fishing. I run out of the same marina as you. Hope to run into you at some point.
Awesome man, I really appreciate it! If you ever need help let me know - I do consult trips. 🤙🏼
Great video, just got back from a deep dropping trip and watched you to help pick out tackle for my boat/learn how others do it.
Stupid question time…How in the world do you keep your camera still while the boat (and you) are rocking- you’re not moving too much but still…no clue why the camera isn’t moving with the boat.
Thanks for taking the time to go through what you do, how you do it and what gear you use, all the way down to the weight bucket. All of this is critical for those (like me) who are considering spending a significant amount of money buying gear- mistakes are expensive and magnified by the cost.
You answered literally every relevant question I could think of from rod to reel to hook/weight size, I can figure out the rest such as line/leader. Well done.
*earned a like/subscribe, thanks again!
Thanks Kevin! I use a GoPro and it has a special setting that helps with rocking. I also use the GoPro “JAWS”, I clip it to the T top tubing for hands free use!
@@ReelFamTV Make sure you leash the camera! I have one sitting on a wreck in 100' of water because I didn't. Now all 4 of mine are always attached by cord leashes. 🙂
Thanks
Great video Capt. What is the reel spooled with? Do ypu go direct from the braid on reel to the snap swivel to the rig?
I love deep dropping, you should try holding the rod to feel the nibbles and the bite..
Definitely different techniques out there for sure! 💪🏼
What is the brand of the metal leader that you are using to connect your light and weights? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thank you!
Exilent
Cool
Where do I get the little light sliders and what are they called?
Great info Cap I am just getting into dropping deeper with electrics, is that a swivel rod holder and what degree is it? Not sure if I need to add swivels and some 0 degree holders. Thanks for the video and super nice boat!
Thanks Scott! It is a Gemlux bluewater HD 360deg swivel rod holder, it’s 15 degrees. If you don’t have a swivel rod holder, an old school trick is to take an 8oz egg sinker with about 1 ft of mono tied on it, drop it in the rod holder with the tag hanging out (so you can get it back out), it will act as a makeshift swivel with your butt end.
Let me know if you need anything else, good luck and tight lines 🤙🏼
Great video do you ever put a weight on the top of the line like a 12oz
if we are grouper fishing I will do a three way but I use a 20oz bank sinker on the bottom swivel and my bait line on the side swivel - that's another video we will be coming out with soon.
For deep dropping (300ft +) I typically just use 6lb lead sticks on the chicken rig style set up with my electric reels.
Only been once. Cool fish though
Thanks for video. what pound test on your braid? do u use a top shot ?
For deep dropping I use 65lb braid, no top shot, the end is tied in a Bimini twist to a ball bearing swivel with a clip.
I’m trying so hard out of Boca and palm beach in Florida and can’t find them no luck with any bites from grouper tile or snapper any tips I saw the GPS thing and made a little sense not entirely
I’d be more than happy to contact you to help, shoot me an email with your phone number - capt_herndo@saltirefishing.com
great video and info the reel... is it a Beastmaster or Forcemaster 9000 A... thanks
It is a Beastmaster
Are you going braid directly to the swivel? If so what knot are you using. Do people ever use top shot mono for tiles or not needed? Thanks!
Hey Matthew, thanks for the question (and great question)! I go braid directly to the ball bearing snap swivel. The knot I use is a “cats paw”. If you’d like a tutorial let me know and I’ll add one!
I am sure people have different preferences, but mine is no top shot. Reason for me is that sometimes I am dropping in excess of 900’ and I would think adding mono top shot would increase the line scope. Remember, you want your line to cut through the water so you aren’t paying out thousands of feet of line.
Hope this helps!
@@ReelFamTV Thanks, do you make your own deep drop rigs, if so can you maybe do a video on a how to and what size slide swivels you need for 150 lb mono.
Great idea! I’ll add it to my list for sure!
Capt. I catch every drop and NEVER use a light...why do you use one?
I also have caught them without using a light… however I’ve had better luck using a light, so that’s why I use them. However I think someone that has had better luck without using a light would argue that not using a light IS better.
It’s like I always say, there are a million ways to catch a fish, every way is right if it works 💪🏼 tight lines!
What to do if you get snagged on the bottom? Is there some kind of fuse on your rigg?
Hello George! Best thing I've found when getting snagged on the bottom is to quickly back the drag off all the way, then tighten it down and try to reel. This typically saves my rigs about 80% of the time. A secondary option is to put your boat in gear and head the direction you were drifting from and hopefully it was just snagged on a ledge, this will free it. I hope that helps!
Hey Mate,
Where did you get yeti bucket for your weights did you make the inserts
Cheers
Hey Adam! I purchased the yeti bucket through @yeti - and the weight holder insert is from boat outfitters - Here is the link for it.

@@ReelFamTV thanks mate for quick response 👌👍
From down under
Cheers Adam 👌
Are those lights one time use? Does it stop blinking after it comes out of the water?
Hey Stan, they have a battery and last about 300 hours depending on how you take care of them. After fishing, I will rinse them with my fresh water wash down on the boat, dry them off very well, then put them back in the tackle box. After they are dry, they stop blinking. Tight lines 💪🏼
Captain
Do you go out that far alone? Is that safe?
Thx
Hey Daniel, yes I do. I feel safe, but anything can happen on the water. It’s always best to have a buddy on the boat in case of any emergencies.
what's the price for one of those rods
Rod - fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-TALAVERA_BLUEWATER_DEEP_DROP_A.html#product_image_3
Roughly $330
Reel - fish.shimano.com/en-US/product/reels/specialized/electric/a075f00003dsyk1qap.html
Roughly $1500
What is the spec on the rod?
Hello Eric, shimano makes a deep drop rod called the Talavera. It has great feel and the rod tip is light enough to see the bites but has enough back bone to help winch them up!
What was the product holding your weights in the bucket?
Hey Jason! The product is from boat outfitters, called the “deep drop weight bucket storage insert”. Here is the link
www.boatoutfitters.com/deep-drop-weight-bucket-storage-insert?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2_OWBhDqARIsAAUNTTHpJmw9TmibXicHVxfaCdfxdJk8hAgK8bxCQHOpbImka7yWOJ9-vc0aAmKxEALw_wcB#216=1213
If you google deep drop weight holder, you will find tons of options and price points!
I believe that you will damage your break soon, it’s better to release line on a normal way with your hand control the spool, the weight you use is also to much, I use maximum 5lb and with electronic anchor only 3lb in 600m depth. Anyway it’s a nice and interesting video
Hello Mar Dim, thanks for that! Using the drag to lower the line down gives me more control so there is no snap back in the line. I use to put my thumb on the spool and use the free spool knob, however even shimano recommends not to put your fingers near the spool when in free spool mode.
Sometimes we have fish in excess of 8-10lb of lead where we live (Florida east coast). Every area around the world differs based on current.
How are you going to say the man is wrong when every situation is different. You could pull up to a spot one day with 1 knot of current… day later 5 knots. There are currents forever changing offshore. Iv Ben grouper fishing with 3knots of current, moved the boat 300 yards hand had slack tide almost no current. So think before you speak next time bud
