Sekiu Bottom Fishing Underwater Lessons

Ever wondered what's going on beneath the surface when you are bottomfishing? In this short, but hopefully super helpful video, we break down some lessons learned from our recent trip out to Sekiu looking at underwater footage of jigging for rockfish and ling cod. Lesson #1: The most common jigging action may be too active, a slower / smaller jigging action will produce more hookups. Lesson #2: These fish follow and attack the offering in a perfectly consistent way. If you aren't getting bit, it's because there aren't fish down there, or you may be jigging too fast. I never saw any footage of fish ignoring my offering and not trying to eat it.
