This is a thread for things that might make a bottom fishing or offshore trip easier.



I don't want links in to big commercial or forum sites unless someone asks me first. Please realize I decide these on a case by case basis.

That being said, there are a lot of cool products and innovations that would make the trips easier, so I want people to know about them. If you feel there's something out there that fits the above parameters, feel free to post up. Thanks.

One of the main issues when bringing up fish from deep water is you have to vent them. Doing this incorrectly or half-assed just means you wasted a fish unnesessarily.
