About The Local Knowledge Fishing Show:
The show Local Knowledge explores the culture of fishing itself and follows real life characters that spend their lives dedicated to fishing and the outdoors.
Local Knowledge focuses on the differing and often humorous viewpoints of two drastically different fishermen from opposite sides of the country. Ali Hussainy of San Diego, California is the President of BD Outdoors, the largest fishing site on the web. Capt. Rush Maltz is a born and raised Florida Keys fishing guide. Each is a master on their home turf, but the playing fields are leveled as they travel to strange waters to explore and learn new local knowledge.
Follow two friends as they explore both local and exotic fishing destinations in search of a new flavor of local knowledge. They not only dig deep into the fishing aspect, but the food, people and the culture of fishing that permeate a local and make it unique and special. They seek out a new kind of adventure off the beaten path.

Thank you for taking the time to publish this video. I use to make these exact same rigs when I was a kid - 50 years ago living in Alaska. We would routinely fish in 800 and sometimes 1500 fathom water. We first tried those old 16/0 Penn's, but replaced them with some home made contraption, made from a hose reel, when we often ran out of line - we used (Dacron back in those days). I'm sure glad we got rid of those Penn's - I don't know if you've ever tried - but you should reel in a 120 lb halibut from 5,000 feet only to lose it right before you get it on the boat. 50 years later I still remember it like yesterday......

Dude you’re an awesome human being! I watch y’all’s show all the time. F’n love you guys. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I just bought a Tanacom 1200 reel setup. Excited to use it.
-
Like you I grew up deep dropping back in the 60’s. Now I’m in my 60”s and want to get back into it. Hopefully the Cordelia bank is back open😊

Best fishing channel
-
Great info
-
Great video
-
Awesome rig I’m gonna try this with down sized line for my ground fishing in New Hampshire Jeffery’s ledge
-
Nice work thank you
-
great vid, very pretty rig. You might consider using dredge swivel-sleeves (makes for less connections), use a heavier main line & 2x wire hooks. What the about the disco light Ollie?
-
I recommend using lower pound test leader that goes to the weight in case it gets snagged you only loose the weight instead of the entire rig.
-
Awesome tip
-
Great video. With my shallower rock cod rigs, I use 30lb fluoro for the main rig and 20lb mono going down to the sinker, so I don’t lose the whole rig if the sinker sticks in the rocks. Is there a reason you’re using full strength line for your sinker?
-
Rather than a swinging hook crimped, if you snelled that hook on, its stronger, and you will get a much better hook up rate
-
Nice
-
Do you think fluoro makes a difference for deep drops to the bottom?
-
Have you tried the sleeve swivel crimps for your deep drop rigs?
-
What is the size of crimps with what the line thickness?
-
This is the hard way to make a deep drop rig. They make in line swivels that slide on to the main line and crimp them where you want them. Your rig has to many crimps.
