Blueline Tilefish
Venturing offshore from Destin offers a unique opportunity to target Blueline Tilefish, a deep-water delicacy. These fish inhabit depths of 300-800 feet, making this a specialized fishery requiring sturdy tackle and precise techniques. The key is finding areas with rocky or uneven bottom structure where they create burrows. Spring and fall generally provide the most stable weather windows for deep-sea trips. Electric reels are highly recommended due to the depths involved. Popular rigs include chicken rigs or bottom fishing rigs baited with squid, cut fish, or live bait. A local tip: Consult with experienced charter captains in Destin; they have the knowledge of specific GPS coordinates where tilefish congregate. Be prepared for a long day on the water and potentially rough seas, but the reward of landing a Blueline Tilefish is well worth the effort. Remember to check current regulations regarding bag limits and size restrictions before heading out.
