My deepest has been about 700 ft for halibut bouncing the bottom with 3lb sinkers and bait. One can eat lunch while things are dropping to the bottom. Mostly a case of "I think I have one on." Be careful though as nontarget fish coming up from that depth might just explode.

Why would you want to drag something up from 700'

I love the Keys and fish there every chance I get, but fwt hit a GREAT angle. The bluefin tuna fishery off San Diego is in the good ‘ol days right now. The best boats are already booked, and a cancellation for 3 might be a lot to ask, but new trips are scheduled regularly.

BFT are freight trains … and great eating.

See you out there. wink
