Use a Light When Fishing Deeper Than 300 Feet

Use a light on your fishing rigs when fishing deeper than 300 feet. “Pipeline crossings or subsea oil-well heads deeper than 300 feet are excellent structure for attracting bottom species, and we’ve come to learn lights really improve the bites,” says Covington. “I’ll also use more hooks when fishing deeper than 300 feet. It’s a chore to get down there, so you might as well use two hooks (IGFA max) in case you lose a bait or one gets eaten on the drop.”
