When do we get to see the flyline mackerel / Yellowtail video?
I will leave that to the Water Wolf guys. I am content to scour the bottom.

It appeared at some times that you were slowly drifting and dragging the bait. I appreciate the time you took to do this and then share it here.
I do use a 3-way swivel, but you don't often see it. The black thing you are seeing is the release clip from my downrigger. There are lots of issues getting a bait down and swimming properly with all this other crap to deal with. Then you have to keep it swimming well until you decide to bring it all back up and reset. Front hooks turn and trap hooks catch on the leader. Then there are the Cormorants, Octopus, Lizzard Fish and Sea Lions that like to taste your bait. Among a bunch of other things like the bait being so hyper that it kills itself yanking on your sinker.

downrigger, that is why it looks like you are trolling in some of the shots. I don't think I would record that anymore though, it was making me crazy to see all those fish check out your bait and then ignore it, especially that school of YT. I've watched trout do the same thing in fresh water and that drives me crazy also.

YT on the bottom.

I used to think there were only a few fish in the sea when I used to only fish with rod n reel. Then I started diving a free diving and saw for myself that there are fish every damn where all the time

The only time you jump in and see nothing is when you are in deeeeeeeaaaaaap water

But if you are in 100 - 200 feet of water within a 1/4 mile of shore there are always fish around

Sometimes less sometimes more. But they are there. Unless it's a red tide situation

I couldn't believe how I wasn't catching fish on every drop after I saw that
