Golden Tilefish
Hatteras, North Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to target golden tilefish in the deep waters of the Gulf Stream. What sets Hatteras apart is its relatively close proximity to the continental shelf, allowing anglers quicker access to the extreme depths where these fish reside. You'll need a capable boat, electric reels, and heavy tackle to reach depths of 600-1000 feet or more. The prime time for tilefishing here is typically late fall through early spring, avoiding the intense summer heat and hurricane season. Look for areas with significant bottom structure, like canyons and ledges, which hold concentrations of tilefish. Launching from Oregon Inlet Fishing Center provides convenient access to the Atlantic. Tilefish in this region are known to grow large, with many exceeding 30 pounds, and offer a prized meal. Be prepared for a long day on the water, and always prioritize safety by monitoring weather forecasts and carrying appropriate safety gear.
