I am a member to the insider club but i live in jacksonville fl i fish mainly st johns river and mayport. My biggest problem is people dont want to network i guess they are afraid of everyone trying to go fish their spots but when you ask for advice of creeks and things people are super secretive.
Taking a paddle tail, a top water, and a suspending bait with you, and you will have the correct bait for almost any situation. Thanks for the insights fellas!
great fundamental baits to keep with you! 💪💪 Thanks for watching the video!
I pretty much always bring 3 rods. I got a smaller 2500 reel with a medium fast rod for throwing jigs and bottom lures, a baitcaster on a medium mod fast rod for throwing suspended baits and a 4000 size reel on a medium heavy rod for live bait, heavier jigs (typically for half ounce) or top water
I fish inshore salt water, mainly rock and beach locations in the uk and been doing it now for over 40 years, mainly spinning for sea bass, pollock and mackerel. Agree 100% with the comments in your video, spot on 👌👌
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very practical helpful video guys. I like the point about specializing. The more lures I have is the more confused I am about planning my trip and less fish. You simply buy more and get less. Keep up the good work guys.
We're so glad you found this helpful! Tight lines!
Great information guys! I personally keep a notebook when I fish. Tide, moon phase, water temp etc.. Again, solid information 🔥
Great idea, Ed!! Remember to stay in tune with the current weather trends as well!
I tied on a 3/4 oz johnson splite about three years ago , i use it religiously, i capton the boat and let my friends cast there butts off , and i selectively throw to spots occasionally and end up with a better fish creel ..its all because of my confidence in my lure , recognition of a spot , and all that practice i had on that spoon ..THE

Very cool!

Thanks for watching!

Been following your post about 18 months, all great infor.. much thanks, Jerome Island of Borneo
Thanks for the nice comment, Jerome! We appreciate the support big time! 💪
I tie on for everything except topwater and popping corks. The snap swivel IMO acts as more chatter and sound. We should do an experiment. Topwater w snap swivels vs loopknot. Popping cork with snap swivel vs Uni or FG
Great, great, great, GREAT video! You answered some of my beginner questions. Swivels, what is important- trends vs Hot Spots. Thank you.
So glad we can help out, Mark! Let us know if you have any more questions - we are here to help!
also agree that you could cast out a paper clip lure iif you can locate them
maybe an episode on lure color bc im in the boat that fish are intrinsically dumb
i really dont think lure color matters would love to be proven wrong i ust want a definite answer
Awesome information..I fish at Port Isabel and Brownsville ship channel all the time in South Texas..
Awesome! We're glad that you found the video helpful! 💪
Great video - very good information !!!

Thanks for the video guys, great info and good for fishing tips
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I just happened to catch this episode and I'm happy that I did. On the subject of Wade fishing, I live in Indialantic Florida which puts me right in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. As we all know the Indian River is a fishing destination for those in search of Munster reds and trout as well as flounder Sheepshead and Snook. 90% of the time I wade fish. I constantly see boats with fishermen casting in towards the shore, well guess what? I'm already here LOL boats are great don't get me wrong, I just don't think I was made to own one. I can literally go out my door and have a line in the water in about 15 minutes, and when I'm done fishing I take the rod and reel put it back in my car and I'm done. As I'm sure you guys know most of the year you can Wade with just an old pair of tennis shoes in Florida. I have actually considered getting a kayak, but there are so many points of access to the river and great fishing spots under the causeways, many with walkways that I can basically fish anywhere I want on foot. Once again I'm not beating up on boats, they allow you access to numerous points in a short span of time, and in many cases allow you to get to places that you cannot get to on foot, but for me Wade fishing works just fine and it's a decent way to stay relatively cool when it's a hundred degrees out in August. Besides that all the money I would have spent on a boat , gas insurance Etc has allowed me to buy myself some really nice rods and reels. As far as keeping the load light and being specifically honed in on a couple of methods, I mainly use top Waters and paddle tails... Thanks for all that you guys do I've learned quite a bit from you videos
Good for you., can you show some good spots you fish
I’m a wade fishing fan as well. You can’t beat it! I have a paddle board to help me get to hard to reach places. When I get to the spot I jump off and do my thing. I tether it to my belt and it carry extra stuff if need be. it doesn’t hurt to have it for the transportation part of fishing. I definitely like the simplicity of wading too. It makes it so much fun
Diamond Pat in Texas?? Hope I got the name right? I was raised and fished the Corpus Christi area most of my life! Go Ray Texan's!!! I have two Padre Island Dont's!! #1 Texans, don't fish without a license!! Support sustainability so your kids can fish in the future. Second, don't buy your live bait from Red Dot, catch your own shrimp and croaker the day before or early in the morning at Packery Channel or any grassy area and Learn how to use a cast net or use a seine net for live shrimp. Fisherman at Padre Island, dont throw the big Whiting back, they are so delicious!!!
Good Info! We appreciate the support, Eric! 💪💪
@@Saltstrong you guys are awesome taught me a lot. I fish fresh water an the things you taught me can be applicable to fresh water. Except for certain baits. Certain forage simply are just not found in ponds or lakes. I've been guilty buying all these fancy baits. I know the general areas where fish go during different seasons an climate changes. I'd go an catch absolutely nothing because simply the fish didn't want this forage. I know fish were the because there is spots that go quickly from shallow to deep. There is shaded spots an good forage current structure an current. Current being important to more oxygen an food into areas. Anyways I was in a spot like this an after getting no bites for 5 to 10 minutes I then switched lures an bass were crushing then new lure. I caught 4 bass in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes.
@@Saltstrong I realize that these same things can be applied to fresh water fishing as well.
Does anyone reading comments have any old discontinued bomber xpop lures for sale or trade? I’m in Tennessee and found the one lure a walleye loves but I’m needing more.
Hi guys, I'm a new member in this family and I just can't believe how much I was missing out in the past years of my fishing. I'm new in Wilmington NC area and I'm trying find myself here. Right now I'm a land base angler and my major problem is to find good access points. I know I have to reach to the local Salt Strong community for help in this matter.
I have one question regarding setting drag, how do you guys set your reel drag when fishing with 10 or 15 lb lines? Do you test your drag settings before each trip?
Welcome to the family. We definitely recommend checking out the community and posting your questions there. Our team and the other members would be happy to answer any questions you have about locations, access points, set ups, etc.
@saltstrong I plan to pick 2 lures an fish only those 2 lures 3 months each. I fish from mid June til late October to develop my skill on a square bill an a jerk bait if I get bites or no bites I'll just use the max of 3 casts per spot. One cast to right then left then straight. Alternate where I cast 1st each time I move. Vary my pauses an retrieves to present artificial lures an soft plastics as realistic as possible.
Sounds like a great plan! Let us know what you pick to fish with and how you do! Thanks for the support!
@@Saltstrong I usually fish for bass. Also have developed a deep interest in catching stripers. I'll try rivers an lakes in my area. I have lures for stripers. The square bill an jerkbaits are for bass. If I had a way to get to the beach to fish best believe I'd go. Where I have no way to get to the beach by getting there from a friend.
How about a video on crossover lures from the bass to salt for transplant fisherman who fish inshore two weeks of the year?

Also, the Slam Shady 2.0 along with our other paddletail lures will catch fish in both freshwater and saltwater!
If you haven't already, try out the Slam Shady 2.0 here: www.saltstrong.com/slamshady-lures/?
@@Saltstrong guys check your boxes and let me seriously know if you have any xpops. I have thrown every topwater lure known to man…almost anyways and I got to find some more of those.
@@Saltstrong believe it or not…we throw 1/4 oz peanut head hand tied living rubber jugs in E Tn for bass and find them to be rather effective when a gulp shrimp is applied. We’re pretty dumb up here but when there in Fl. We flip residential docks 90% of the time and do pretty well. But started following to see how to expand now. Great info.
@ 38; truth, It is all about relationships in successful organizations. Individuals sharing and caring makes the power of the community.
Put 10 inch soft jerkbaits that looked like shad on a drop shot. Drop shot is awesome to use in rivers the ponds lakes an oceans year around. Used retrieves an pauses I stated an 3 casts per spot an found biting fish. Also the birds in the water is what lead me to the fish.
Thanks for the tip!
10" , that's a big lure
You guys st Salt Strong ate always forgetting about the NE Atlantic and Striped Bass!!
We've got a ton of content for that region right here: www.saltstrong.com/article_categories/northeast-territory-reports/
I’ve learned a lot and have been much better at FINDING fish, but it’s always a battle with tackle for me. I’m making slow progress though, I went from having a birds nest every trip to now just struggling to tie knots proficiently and quickly, and I recently had an issue where I’m assuming I had too less of line cause all of a sudden this trip my line wouldn’t cast more than 20 yards. Very frustrating lol never a battle with finding fish and always a battle with tackle and fishing line or breaks or knots 😊
Thanks for sharing!
How do I message you guys and ask a question? If you guys can talk to me, I will join your insider club.
Hey Tyson! We would love to hear from you! Please email fish@saltstrong.com or contact us on Instagram (@thesaltstrong) and we will be there to help! Thank you, Tyson!!
@Salt Strong I can also agree about getting mad about people getting to your spots. The most casts we should ever do for 1 spot is 3 casts max. One cast straight left then right. No particular order. After you fish fast vary your pauses to get a scared baitfish running for covor to get a reaction strike. Once fish it's lure or soft plastic stop lure a couple seconds an finess the lure. Work lure or soft plastic 1 to 2 seconds fast after fish bites it 1 second fast 1 to 2 seconds moderate 2 seconds is best so fish catch it. As fish bites very lightly hit butt of rod 2 times fish will bite down hard. Then reel an lower rod drop stop once parallel count to 5 then set the hook. Sometimes when going back where fish struck lure he won't be there. Pause once the fish hits lure or soft plastic then vary retrieve after a few second pause fast 1 second then moderate so fish will get lure. I made mistake after I spotted where fish were when I went back to spot to catch fish it was gone. That's why it's important to pause so fish bites lure.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@Saltstrong you an your brother ever catch or go for stripers? I remember years ago me an my family went way up north in New hampshire an went to family camp there was a lake there moderate. Once we got settled the following day after we got there my dad my uncle an family friend went on a row boat an went fishing my dad was crazy caught a tank of a striper close to if not 40" striper it was huge. I saw him holding up this tank an he saw me an said look what I caught buddy. 😳 that was my expression as I was catching sun fish from the shore line. Soon as my dad uncle an family friend came back he talked to me an my uncle an family friend was envious of tank striper he caught in the moderate size lake. When they brought the boat in I said to my brother an cousin who also came with us let's try our luck. Sadly we caught no striper. I caught a small sun fish an tried rehooking sun fish that was small that I caught an threw it back in the water hoping to catch at least a big cat fish a bass or striper. To no avail no luck. We covored a ton of water 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I have to disagree on cast of lures to a specific spot. During cold fronts repeatedly casting to a single spot can have an aggravated effect on a fish. They hit out of anger or defensive not to eat . I won a club tournament where i had to cast nearly 15 minutes on each laydown to get a strike.
Almost had 2 nice fish. Sadly got away because people kept talking to me while fishing 🎣 😕. Next time I'll go to an area where I usually go so I can really zone in on what I'm doing with no distractions
Oh no! Next time!
Kayaks now can cover a vast area of water because of the use of trolling motors.
LOVE LUKE!!! From Grandma Pinky!
Hello saltstrong im watching you all the time am i doing it wrong i watch in saltstrong and sea fishing but i fish in river haha
Was crazy I grabbed a lure an practiced 5 to 10 minutes to dust off cob webs an a flock of seagulls came in a picked off my jerkbait. Thankfully got my jerkbait back. I mainly went to a spot just to practice an in came the seagulls. There was a flock of them.
Thanks for sharing! That sounds like a crazy experience!
@@Saltstrong I learned what pat said I'm thinking grab 2 lures your not good at an practice with each lure for a month a piece minimal. I say a month a piece because I fish from June until early November. Winter fishing in fresh water is lousy
@@Saltstrong or since I have 6 months 3 months each lure.
@@Saltstrong I've learned once you actually find fish consistently that's when you discet an area with key points pockets points drops pockets in brush an grass once you find fish. That's when u spend 10 to 15 minutes in any given area. I'm still adjusting an trying to push myself 1 cast per spot I really need to push myself to do that
As stated I know I said at least 100 times always vary retrieve pause an retrieve. One to 2 seconds fast pause 2 seconds then slow or moderate retrieve one second pause. One reel crank as fast as you can then pause one to 2 seconds pause then repeat 1 reel crank super fast an 1 to 2 seconds pause. Can do this fast an 1 to seconds pause 3 to 4 times imitates a scared creature or bait fish. Start pause 3 to 5 seconds in between retrieve then 5 to 8 seconds when you pause again then one to 2 seconds pause. Mixing up pause retrieve can go fast one second pause 2 seconds fast retrieve again pause one to 2 seconds then one more time fast reel turn for one second pause 1 to 2 seconds. Start again retrieve 1 second moderate one second slow pause then super fast reel turn 1 second pause 1 to 2 seconds. These are just examples to follow
Thanks for the tip!
Getting Tony in your coaching group was huge js
He's pretty awesome!
what is the 90 - 10?
The 90-10 zone is a useful resource to put yourself EXACTLY where the fish are!! Learn more here: www.saltstrong.com/articles/90-10-fishing-rule-training/
Goliath grouper on 3o lb braid fr?
2500 series reel on a 40+" redfish. AMEN!!! Today's super lines and compact reels can HANDLE a TON of fish!!!
NO kidding! 💪
I know this is off topic but in the thread on premium reels (BG MQ) I reported Gator Jim's in St Petersburg has Fuego's as of last week. Seemed like they 8-10 different Diawa models. Be aware though, they may be at a premium price, NOT the discounted price through our club.
Thanks for the heads up! 💪
I've learned to jump ahead of your intro Joe...
💪😂
I used 10 inch soft jerkbaits that looked like natural colored shad fish were biting bummed because of distractions 🙄 an because being distracted lost focus thus losing fish 🐟
Next time!
Adding a pause between one to 2 seconds fast retrieve emediately followed by a 1 second moderate slow retrieve as well. To be more specific with mixing up retrieve an pause. Occasionally add a really fast reel turn pause one second an do again. Can even use really fast reel turn an one second pause for 3 to 4 seconds so it looks like a scared baitfish or creature a fish will eat. Never use cookie cutter retrieve an pauses doesn't give a very realistic presentation of creature or baitfish fish eat.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

I'm stubborn and keep fishing the same three dead zones all year long - for convenience.
It’s cause why make your life hard. ??? All of anglers would rather make it easier on ourselfs and I don’t blame ya man. It takes a lot of time and preparation trying to get the kayak ready and strapped down properly on the car tben getting everything out and making sure you have certain thjngs then going all the way out there just to realize the wind randomly changed and is blowing super hard. You don’t know how many days I’ve wanted to take my kayak out but if I go fishing from shore a lot and it’s already difficult from the wind , then I couldn’t imagine a kayak . This year in my opinion in Corpus Christi tx , has been beyond terrible as far as winds. And the days that it is calm, I’ve went in the kayak and either had to deal with tackle problems with my lures snagging the bottom or me paddling all the way to a certain area to find 6 idiots all huddled close by with their lines in the area. It gets really annoying . Like 6 people in a area is so dumb . And lately I’ve had where I go super early in the morning to a spot . I get there , set up perfectly, have my own space . Then a jackass comes up on foot in the next hour and literally goes within 50 ft of fishing next to me . I mean I’m about to start taking action on people that do this . All the preparation I’ve laid out the night prior for that to happen . Anyways . Hey it’s fishin , never was meant to be easy .
Number 1-A ... Don't forget to buy a fishing license!
Or be 65+ and a homeowner in FL...no license required.
i like that idea of exploring new areas Luke. i do use maps (thank you Salt Strong) for this myself, grab my bicycle then i find trails that go to these areas (St Petersburg is a perfect place to start this) and i have found many spots i am looking forward to revisiting without my bicycle and with my TFO inshore and some slam shady paddletail 2.0's for the win :)
Sounds like a good plan!
