Salt Strong Fishing

It's almost here! The ultimate online course on catching trout from Texas to Florida to North Carolina (and everywhere in between). So in this podcast, we briefly discuss the upcoming course with Capt. Peter Deeks (and a monster lineup of top trout guides) along with sharing some great speckled trout tips for the late fall and winter.

If you love catching speckled trout, then you don't want to miss this!

Being a parent isn't easy. Some days you get it right (or at least feel like you did), and some days you feel like you failed. I had a recent conversation with my 10-year old that quickly made me realize I had failed her in one of the most important departments of her life.

I'm willing to bet I'm not alone.

So grab some popcorn (and maybe a tissue if you're inclined to tear up) and listen to what just happened.

A recent video released by Simms (about the striped bass decline up north) had a very clear smoking gun... the recreational angler.

It was one of the first times most of the fingers were pointed at us recreational anglers (instead of commercial fishermen, pollution, etc).

It created an internal debate here at Salt Strong about what would actually happen if we all agreed to release every fish for a year?

I'm not convinced that is the answer but my guess is the answer lies somewhere in the middle of two extremes.

Listen in to find out more and please leave us your candid thoughts on this topic. It's definitely a discussion (and NOT a sermon or lecture).

Fishing in the winter months can be amazing. The fish are all congregated together (so if you find one, you usually find a bunch of them), plus there aren't as many knuckleheads out on the water.

But one of the toughest parts about fishing in the winter is the cold. Combine the cold with water (which will inevitably find it's way on you) it can be tough.

So in this episode, we break down exactly what we use to stay warm from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas.

Tight lines!

For years, I held my insecurities and issues in close to my chest. I felt that if I shared them with anyone that I'd be looked down on... that I'd look weak... that people would consider me a failure.

The irony is that when I finally did open up, the complete opposite happened.

Listen in as I share a personal story on this week's Salt Strong UNCHURCHED.

In this episode, we bring on the famous pro bass writer and interviewer Rob Newell to discuss the main mistakes that hold bass anglers (even really good ones) from having as much success as they want when saltwater fishing.

We cover everything from why you don't need live shrimp, why a boat can actually hurt your chances in some areas, why you don't need all new lures, and more.

Enjoy and tight lines!

If you've ever had a rough day trying to catch inshore saltwater fish, you aren't alone.

Regardless if your skunky day is because you failed to prepare, bad moon phase, no current, or just plain bad luck, this tip will help you at least catch something.

Tight lines and avoid the skunk!

If you could name the top 2-3 things that are most important to you in life, what would they be?

Regardless of your answer, if you'd like to enhance each one, then you've got to hear this about this simple method.

It can help repair, enhance, and completely rejuvenate any relationship from a spouse, child, parent, sibling, friend, or even God.

Enjoy.

In this episode, we discuss all of the tricks that pro anglers and rod builders use to make their fishing rods last much longer.

From the right (and wrong) way to transport them, to properly washing them down, to storage, and more.

If you own at least one fishing rod or more, you don't want to miss this one.

If you fish enough, you'll find yourself fishing on a high, slack tide every now and then. The big misconception is that it's almost impossible to get fish to strike lures when the tide is slack like this.

But it's simply not true.

So in this LIVE on the water episode, we reveal exactly how we like to target snook (and other inshore fish) on a super high tide. Enjoy
