Thanks for watching. Catching Rosies is always a blast... If nothing else is biting, I just run off shore, drop out and they are always there... dinner is served. Always a pleasure to hear from you. I truly appreciate the feedback and support. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some positive feedback. I've been thinking about doing some catch, clean & cook episodes... 🤔 maybe I'll do one this coming week. Take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching... Calmer heads always prevail... I've been doing this a long time. I learn through my failures all the time... I just don't put them on youtube 😂😂😂. It's always great to hear from you. Good luck getting on them... Head straight east, drift in between 820 and 850... They'll bite as soon as you hit the sea bed. Tight lines & take care ;)
Awesome video. You can switch the meters to feet on the 1000 if you want to by holding the mode button for 10 secs, switches to feet off, then move the power leveler forward, switches to on. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a million for watching. Always great to hear from you. I caught a mess load more than what you saw on the video, unfortunately, i can't put everyone on, episode would be over an hour. Regardless... I appreciate your support. Take care ;)
Thanks a boat load for watching. Always a pleasure to hear from you. I really appreciate the positive feedback back and continued support. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Heath, That was a very interesting video. You have a wide verity of species and ways to fish them. Fishing is much more limited up here. I've never been in 800 feet of water. Our bottom is flat sand out to the continental shelf. Most of the structures are man made reefs. A few weeks ago we were 3-1/2 miles out at the Ocean City Reef and the water was about 50 feet deep. It's always fun to watch your videos. Hope everyone's well, Mickey
Hi Mickey, Thanks for watching. I wanted to do a deep drop episode like this for a while. Catching Rosies is almost a guaranteed thing you just have to know a little about the species and go find them. They literally carpet the sea bed because they are not commercially harvested. At 3-1/2 miles out I'm at the continental shelf. It's a 1/4 mile long drop off from 550 - 650. Great fishing spot. Thanks for all your support, glad you are enjoying. Hope all is well with your family. Take care ;)
Hi Heath, The continental shelf is about 90 miles out from NJ. That's a long ride. We mostly fish in the bay and a few miles off shore. In the Fall, it's mostly surf fishing. Take care and good luck, Mickey
Great Video Heath, I am going to start looking for Rosies out of Stuart, Hopefully I'll find them, I did a few drops for Golden tile and scored a few times but the 700 ft depth I was dropping in was ripping with 5 MPH current, How do you deal with that? Now I'm going to 800-850 so I'm assuming that a heavier weight is needed? I also have the Tanacom 1000 but set it to Feet.
Thanks a million for watching, sharing and asking a great question. When I'm out in 800, I use a 5 lb weight. Current really isn't an issue, because rosies hit immediately. There are so many of them, because they are not commercially fished. After about 10 or 20 seconds on the bottom, you should have a few on the line. If you find you are only getting dinks... move... they'll all be small. Rosies hang out on sturcture, so look for small ledges and relief on your fish finder... they're not too abundant in the mud. I have my tanacom set to feet also, just wanted to show folks how to do, in a tips & tricks episode by itself. A lot of people don't know how to do the digital display transition... I didn't wanted hide in the middle of a fishing episode. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Hope this info helps. Tight lines & take care ;)
Great video, thanks. I have a question, what model number are your sounder and transducer, What is the deepest depth you can register on the unit. I also have a small boat and deep drop fish but my hummingbird Helix 5 is not helping much.
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. My main GPS/Fish finder is Garmin Echomap Plus 74cv, it came with a GT23 Transducer. Works great, reads 1800 ft no problem, just can't be underway at that depth. However, if you trolling 8 knots it tracks just just fine and keeps up at 1000ft. My small secondary fish finder is a Garmin Striker Plus 4cv it came with a GT20-tm transducer. this will also act as a GPS, however, you can't store waypoints or tracks in it. but you can split the tiny 4" screen. Hope this helps. Good luck with the deep dropping. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching. It's always great to hear from you. When it comes to the gear, you just have to do it... I did it, and never looked back... sure I cry when I see my credit card bill, but when I'm out on the water hooked up, all that financial mumbo jumbo goes away. Tilefish in the Gulf of Mexico are the mercury ones, Atlantic Tiles are not as bad, due to the streams current always moving water. Rosies are not high in mercury, as far as I know. Thanks for asking. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Yep, you need an electric setup to go that deep. It's not fun reeling up a 6 pound weight with fish on the line too. The rig is fairly easy... It's 300 pound leader, with 5 sleeve style swivels, 5 glow beads and 5 12-0 circle hooks. all the connections are crimped, so you need a crimping tool, there's no tying 300 pound line. Thanks for your support and always asking great questions. Tight lines & take care ;)
Awesome video Heath. Great tutorial and set ups.

One day I'm going to catch some Rosie's. Great video 👍🏾

Nice catch. Would have love to see you cook some of that fish.

South Florida Saltwater Fishing cool , looking forward
You make it look so easy going to have to try this out this weekend!!!

Hi Heath- I always wanted to try doing this, but have not invested in the gear yet.. Are rosefish high in mercury like tilefish?

Wow that's so cool, so I guess the only way is to have a electric reel. Man good to know. How do you setup the rig?
