Dropping Deep
Jigging for bottom fish in Louisiana is one of my favorite ways to fish. There is something about dropping a jig down to the structure and waiting for that hard thump that keeps you coming back. Depending on where you are fishing, you can catch everything from red snapper and grouper to amberjack and other hard-fighting bottom dwellers. It is an exciting, versatile technique that puts you right in the action.

Right Tools for the Job
When I’m jigging for bottom fish, I like having a setup that can handle whatever decides to eat. That’s why I pair the Okuma Tesoro Lever Drag Reel with the Tesoro Jigging and Slow Pitch Rods. The reel gives me the power and drag control I need when a big fish tries to head back to the structure, while the rod provides the right action for working a jig and the backbone to turn fish. It’s a balanced setup that’s built for serious bottom fishing.
