Habitat
Goldeneye tilefish live along the continental shelf edge in deep waters over hard bottom structures, rocks, and ledges. Anglers target them using heavy tackle and cut baits like squid or fish, often while fishing for other deep-water species. They are typically caught while bottom fishing in 400-800 feet of water.
