Tile fishing

[Togman316]

I am looking to try a tile trip for the first time. I have caught a few while on a tuna trip but never actually went out looking for them. When is the best time to go for tile? I also heard that going on a boat from south jersey will cut the travel time to the canyons by a lot, is this true? Does anyone have any recommendations of a particular boat? I know the voyager used to go a lot but I thought I heard they sold. Also, I wouldn't even know where to start with tackle so any information would be helpful! !! Thanks all!
