Deep Cove has pretty good bottom fishing! In this video I spend the day on the beach and water with my family at Deep Cove.
Important note: the Rockfish were not targeted and were a first for me in this area. I left the spot after the 3rd fish, and should have had a descending device.

Thanks so much for taking the time to hang out with me today We're in a very popular place called deep Cove and it's a super touristy place
0:29
It's actually right in my backyard and probably about a seven minute drive from my front door
0:33
So we come here all the time. It is a great place to bring the kids playground just right down there
0:40
Great place to kill some time with the kids and also not a bad place to bring the rod
0:44
Like if you have anything to get yourself onto the water, whether it be a little tube Stand a paddleboard or anything like that just to get a little bit off the off the beach and fish along the docks
0:54
There's some really good little flounder greenling Lots of little fish like that around here
0:58
so that's what we're gonna do with my son or my two sons rather and my family we're all here and so
1:04
Let's get at it. Here we go All right Here's the tube no electric pump for us we're doing this the manual way
1:56
All right, we're gonna jump in I'll get you in it
2:15
Okay, here we go Cool, huh
2:34
What are you scared of There's nothing to be afraid of If you want to but you don't need to jump in the water and just stay in the boat right here
2:47

3:02
got a Just got a little leader six pound leader to a tiny little what size is this
3:09
I think there's a size eight octopus hook bait hook and then we're just putting on the worm and all they do is get the
3:15
weight let it sit on the bottom and Reel up a little bit. So it's just off the bottom. I'm gonna put this right here ash and then
3:25
That's it. So whatever is down on the bottom. I Think we'll be very enticed by a worm freshwater saltwater. You cannot go wrong with a worm. That's just a plain fact
3:35
Every angler knows that so I'll let it go right to the bottom See when the line stops ash we know it's the weights on the bottom
3:44
So we're gonna do is just reel up just a little bit get the weight off the bottom and the bait and
3:49

7:51
Puts in their boats and their slips there. So this is private but this dock over here or this pier rather that's public

14:45
This is like a medium sized rod seven foot telescopic reel This is a lot like the smallest reel. This is like a

15:15
You can stand on the dock right for Pete's sake. I mean obviously here you're not allowed to because there's a private dock
15:19
so you need some sort of boat but Okay Okay, we're on the bottom see it doesn't last long when you're on the bottom as soon as you're down there it's like Bing
