Bottom Fishing Videos
Bottom fishing puts you in direct contact with some of the ocean's most sought-after species. Whether you're dropping baits in 50 feet of water over shallow reefs or working vertical jigging techniques in 600 feet targeting tilefish, the fundamentals remain the same: understanding structure, managing current, and presenting baits effectively. From grouper fishing on ledges to red snapper over wrecks, each scenario demands specific boat positioning and rigging strategies that separate productive anglers from those who struggle.
Our bottom fishing video courses break down these techniques through detailed instruction from professional captains who work these structures daily. You'll learn offshore fishing methods for species like:
- Tilefish in deep water mud bottom environments
- Grouper and snapper on reef and wreck structures
- Amberjack and almaco jack on mid-depth ledges
- Mutton snapper in the Florida Keys using power drift tactics
These Fishing Video Courses cover everything from reading bottom contours and managing drift patterns to rigging techniques that keep your baits in the strike zone where trophy fish feed.

Bottom Fishing Shallow Waters
Shallow waters of fifty-feet or similar depths offer some of the most accessible and productive bottom fishing opportunities, where trophy grouper, snapper, and other structure-oriented species concentrate around reefs, ledges, and hard bottom areas. This intermediate depth allows for precise boat control and effective fish-fighting techniques while targeting quality fish that aren't pressured by deeper-water fishing methods.

Bottom Fishing Deep Water Ledges
Deep-water ledges create some of the most productive bottom fishing opportunities, where structure and current combine to concentrate trophy fish. Expert captain Mike Hennessy reveals the critical techniques for positioning your boat and presenting baits effectively in these challenging offshore environments.

Mutton Snapper Bottom Fishing with Ryan Van Fleet
Learn about power drifting, bait selection, rigging, and recognizing bites to improve your success in targeting mutton snapper in the Florida Keys with Ryan Van Fleet.

Bottom Fishing with Baits and Vertical Jigs
Deep offshore structure at 75 to 80 fathoms concentrates monster fish around ledges, wrecks, and rock piles where drifting and vertical jigging provide thorough coverage. Captain Shawn Rotella's techniques for setting up systematic drifts, dropping baits and jigs simultaneously, and identifying bite depth in the water column unlock success on deepwater formations where understanding structure determines fish holding areas.

Bottom Fishing Techniques for Golden Tilefish
Golden tilefish create burrows in soft clay bottom hundreds of feet deep where they live in colonies, creating advantages for anglers because fewer snags occur and multiple fish concentrate in areas. However, contending with current while maintaining bottom contact and keeping bait on hooks demands specific techniques Captain Chad Raney developed for drift management and presentation in low current environments.

Bottom Fishing Red Snapper with Kevin Adney
Red snapper concentrate around Gulf Coast structure rather than dispersing across open bottom, making hard bottom location the foundation for success. Kevin Adney's approach develops the game of feel needed to detect subtle bites and position baits where fish feed, using rig construction and hook sizing that handles structure-heavy environments while understanding regulations and preservation techniques for quality catch.

Bottom Fishing Grouper with Kevin Adney
Grouper bottom fishing productivity depends on targeting natural reefs and wrecks where fish concentrate rather than random bottom. Kevin Adney's drift management approach keeps baits working productive structure zones systematically, but success requires understanding how current affects drift speed and positioning presentations where grouper ambush prey rather than sweeping past strike zones or hanging in barren areas between structure features.

Bottom Fishing for Golden Tilefish in South Florida
Depth sounders reveal whether bottom at 600 to 800 feet contains the soft mud golden tilefish require for burrows or harder substrates holding no fish. Learn identifying proper bottom composition, what Gulf Stream current does to bait presentation at extreme depth, and how rigging must account for detecting subtle bites occurring hundreds of feet below the boat.
