Heading out tonight at midnight for the Hudson 100 Square area, Targeting Tiles and Tuna Bigeyes, Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Longfin. Cman do you bait for tiles with a whole squid or half? Also do you put little strobe lights and weights top and bottom of your rig like they do in Florida?
I prefer using WHOLE squid for goldens. Partials work on bluelines but you have to construct a whole squid from the parts. Since you're on a private boat, Chartreuse lights or glow plastic squids will do fine. Bring some 3/4/5lb lead too. 7/0 circle hooks and you should be in the game. Last trip we had to go up to five lbs and still scoped 200+ yds with 80lb test. Top and Bottom lead will help you not to have to layout a lot of line although on headboats, that's a no-no. 3lb bottom, 1lb top should do the job for you. Tight Lines!!
