Bottom Fishing

Bottom fishing provides a great experience when pulling in those fighting fish as they make you work on bringing them up to the ice box. The best part will be the feast you’ll enjoy later. Each fish is unique and generates an immense level of excitement even before they get hooked. Many times as the bait drops, once it hits the bottom you’ll have your catch—start reeling them in. Below are some of the bottom fish we catch and that we’ll head out to find with you.
