Bottom Fishing – Reel Blue Collar Style
Drop deep. Reel steady. Land heavy.
Bottom fishing means you’re dropping bait right where the giants hide—reefs, wrecks, ledges—then reeling them in one steady pull at a time. It’s old-school fishing; no show, just skill and payoff.
How We Run It
Anchor or drift: We find prime structure and either drop anchor or drift slowly—lines stay tight, stations stay hot.
Bait it strong: Live shrimp, pinfish, squid—bait that calls bottom-dwellers like grouper, snapper, amberjack, and tilefish.
Gear & Setup
Rods: Medium-heavy conventional rods to handle fish that cling to hard structure.
Reels & leaders: Strong reels with 50–100 lb braid and heavy mono or fluoro for abrasion resistance.
Weights & rigs: Sinker rigs that keep bait locked in prime zones.
Why Bottom Fish with Us
Direct hits: Your bait goes right where the fish are hiding—less guesswork, more bites.
Big-game opportunities: Snapper, grouper, amberjack—many species lurking on the bottom.
Hands-on adrenaline: Feel the sudden pull, set the hook tight, and bring brute power to the boat.
Pro Tips
Set the bottom: Let your bait rest on the reef or wreck. Patience wins.
Stay alert: Most bites start slow—reeve the slack before someone runs.
Control the pull: No jerking—tight and steady gets it clear of structure.
Know your spot: Captain John plays the structure—if it’s deep and fishy, we drop.
