What To Expect
Bottom fishing is a popular fishing technique that involves targeting fish species that dwell near the ocean floor or bottom structures, such as reefs, wrecks, or drop-offs. With this method, anglers use heavy tackle and sinkers to reach the bottom and attract fish.
The process typically involves anchoring or drifting over a productive spot and dropping baited hooks or lures to entice bottom-dwelling fish. Bottom fishing can yield a variety of species, depending on the location and target species. Some common catches include snapper, grouper, flounder, cod, halibut, and various types of rockfish.
