Salt Strong Fishing

There has been a ton of debate around fishing line color. Does it matter? Can fish see your line? Do fish really care? Listen in as dive into the world of fishing line colors.

We'll discuss what we think about the different colors of line, which ones have performed best for us, and some underwater testing we'll be doing to prove this out.

Enjoy and tight lines.

Capt. Caleb McCumber and Salt Strong fishing coach Wyatt Parcel absolutely crush it in this podcast about the science of redfish.

While down at my in-laws farmhouse in Georgia, I came across an old book that contained a 295-year old formula for success and happiness from none other than Ben Franklin.

Listen in as I share how the formula, how I tweaked it a bit, and how you can replicate it in your own life right now.

Enjoy!

In this episode, we have the Salt Strong team come on to share some of the craziest fishing etiquette fails that have happened to us on the water.

We even share a few things that we've accidentally done in the past (aka learning lessons).

If you love hearing about the crazy things that happen out on the water from googans then you're going to love this.

And if you're a new angler/boater and want to make sure you have proper etiquette, this is a must-listen to episode!

For the past five years, we've been in pursuit of the best fishing rod for catching our favorite inshore species (redfish, speckled trout, snook, flounder, mangrove snapper, and grouper).

And through those years we've used a TON of different rods (some from big brands like St. Croix, G. Loomis, TFO, Ugly Stik, etc), some from middle sized brands (like Bull Bay) and some from smaller brands.

We've even had quite a few custom rods made.

So listen in as we share where we've been in terms of rods, what blanks we like the best, along with some rod new discoveries we've been testing.

Enjoy!

I was doing some spring cleaning and came across some of my private notes from the book, Fishing For Happiness. Up at the top of a page I saw, "Today is the day after my death..."

I got a bit emotional reading it as I vividly remember going through the exercise to write my own eulogy.

Buckle in and enjoy this one. It's a hard-hitting episode for sure!

In this episode, we go LIVE during a real tarpon fight (with a 150-pound tarpon) to share exactly how we use cut-bait (like cut mullet) to catch big tarpon.

Find out the best times of year to catch tarpon, best tarpon spots, best baits, best tarpon rigs, and more.

Enjoy getting to hear Joe get absolutely whooped by a big tarpon!

Don't make this surf fishing mistakes!!!

In this episode, we bring on surf angler Courtney Woznek to share all of her hard-earned lessons in fishing from the beach.

You'll discover how to find the best spots to fish on the beach, what lures to avoid, how to know when you're in a dead zone, and much much more.

If you love surf fishing (or doing it for your first time), you'll get some great nuggets of wisdom from this episode.

We recently discovered that a competitor went behind our back and did something pretty dirty. At first, I was pretty angry. And I'd be lying if the idea of retaliation didn't cross my mind.

But after a day of praying on it, God hit me with a message that was too powerful not to share.

If you get burned by someone or if someone is trying to bring you down to their level, this is meant for you.

Much love,

Joe
