Deep Sea Fishing 500-1200ft | Slow Pitch Jigging Gear & American Patriot Catches | Barrel Fish

Team Johnny Jigs, along with a crew of close friends, booked a four-day charter aboard the *American Patriot*. The main goal of the trip was deep dropping—or ‘grocery shopping’—and testing out some exciting new slow pitch jigging tackle. In this video, we highlight some of the cool new slow pitch jigging gear and showcase the offshore fishing techniques we've mastered over the years.Offshore fishing in depths of 500-1200 feet comes with its challenges. We encountered everything from heavy winds and storms to calm, scorching-hot conditions. Our gear breakdown will help any angler understand how we adapted to these elements.Despite the obstacles, we landed some incredible fish, including Barrel Fish, Queen Snapper, Yellow Eye Snapper, Alfonsino, and more.
