Bottom fishing is a traditional yet highly effective technique for targeting fish that live close to the seabed. It generally involves weighted rigs fitted with natural baits such as squid, fish, or crustaceans, positioned just above the bottom. This method can be used to target species such as groupers, snappers, sea bream, reef fish, and certain rays. Suitable for rocky areas, underwater plateaus, drop-offs, reefs, and wrecks, bottom fishing combines patience, precision, and technique. It can offer exciting fights with powerful fish, making it an appealing technique for anglers of different experience levels.
