YT on the bottom.
 

I prefer my Yogurt with YT on the bottom. Sorry for the poor visibility, but I have tried to work it as best I know how. This footage is from August through October.

very cool to see. How deep were you?

(In my most stoic voice) I was at sea level. Sorry, I could not resist. The footage is all between 65 and 85 feet.

How did you rig the camera to get that constant shot?

It's nuts how long they spent just circling around the bait and sniffing it. I think it's a good thing I can't see what's down there when I'm on the water, because I'd just be flippin out, all tourette syndrome just screaming at the fish. Can't believe how many fish there were too. Tons of bait and everything.

Super cool!!!

Thanks for sharing Greg!

Well, that was the best footage from 3 months of UW video. There are lots of hours of watching the sand pass by. My highlight on Sun. was watching a Cormorant kill my bait.

It made me crazy just watching it. Did you catch anything?

Not enough bandwidth to watch your videos down here but looking forward to catching up on my next trip to the land of the free and home of the brave.

Would love to have your set up down here. Today I was on a reef in 60 ft of water and could see the lit up calicos, Garibaldi and the individual rocks. Simply gin clear right now.

Crazy how many yellowtail passed up your bait right in front of their face, wow!

Are they Tuna?
:D

Wow, that sure opened my eyes!

Q: Were you using a FF? Were you metering all those YTs?

Wow awesome underwater footage. Great action! :you_rock:

Good job on the video I'm impressed keep up the good work

I love watching your videos. It's so cool. I wonder if they were being picky because of the camera? Do you fish LJ?

I have caught a few, but usually between drops of the camera.

Rub in the visibility thing :rolleyes:.:D

Yes!

Yes, and some. It is surprising how small your cone angle is on 200.

If I were betting on it I would say the baits were not active enough and upright enough most of the time.

That's insane! Thank you for the footage and insight!

Wild! Thank you Sir.

Are you using a three way swivel? I see a black square where your lines join but I can't figure out what it is. Sometimes it looks like your bait is swimming but others the bait looks dead. I know this is video over three months so the baits are in different time frames. The school of yellowtail was nuts and not one bit the bait. 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.

Awesome informative video.

So this video tells me that my baits where probably checked out by ten thousand yellowtail this year for the dozen I caught :D


When do we get to see the flyline mackerel / Yellowtail video? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I will leave that to the Water Wolf guys. I am content to scour the bottom.

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
