What is Bottom Fishing?
When bottom fishing, anglers attach weights to their lines that sink to the ocean floor. Marine life gathers in pockets this far down, usually around reefs, ledges, or other underwater structures. Anglers on bottom fishing trips frequently catch multiple grouper and snapper species, as well as other reef fish.
Unlike some other forms of angling, bottom fishing doesn’t require much experience or strength. This makes it a great choice for individuals of all skill levels, including beginners and kids. More experienced anglers also enjoy the thrill of fighting their catch as they pull it up from the depths.
