Deep Dropping   Bottom fishing with "Kristal"reels generally from 500 to 1200 feet deep, targeting mainly snowy grouper, tilefish and barrelfish. Fishing on the bottom at depth with electric reels is far from light tackle fishing but when the fish come to the gaff I can assure you the excitement can be the same.
