Oh I know pat that these are all false considering about the livebait thing first of all I have no patience waiting for the fish to come along and see and or smell bait I have used lures all my life first for freshwater when I was a kid for bass, northern pike, crappie, walleye, steelhead and brown trout as well as great lakes Chinook salmon I look at it like this I used to deer hunt with my father when I was a kid and to me fishing with bait is like deer hunting in otherwords its a waiting game your not finding the fish with bait but hoping they will find you and as far as having to have a boat I used to fish out of a yak until I bought my carolina skiff and it's been love ever since but I was equally successful with my yak as I am with my boat I just like to fish in different spots more and a yak gives you pretty limited range unless you don't care about time now as far as different colors I do believe some colors do Excell in some areas as to others for instance the slam shady here in the jax area I have found not as good as the gold digger or fred because of our murky water where clear water the slam shady color is better in and in the case of alot of lures needed I also believe this is false and believe that getting good with a few for different conditions is better then a big tackle box filled with all kinds of different ones that the user has never used before and also fish obviously bite in all seasons to me this is common sence considering we as well as all animals and fish have to eat no matter when the time of year gotta eat to survive I think though to me the one thing I have noticed and talked to newbie anglers that is imperative to develop is you have to have confidence in whatever your using otherwise your wasting your time and probably will give up upon failure anyways though great advice especially for the beginners thanks for it and all you do

just my 2 cents. myth #2 you need a few different types of baits to build confidence in your tackle box. Don’t rely on the same couple of plastic baits all the time. Myth #3 lure selection should be the following, 1 am able to fish it at the speed the fish want. 2 am I using the size bait the fish want. and then 3 pick your color based on conditions.

Going on my second year being part of Saltstrong, I think your advice is dead on.

1) Cannot speak to the live bait because I haven’t pursued that type of fishing yet.

2) Have embraced the idea of becoming proficient at using 2 lures and have stuck with it. The slam shady 2.0 and gulp swimming mullet (based on local intel in the community) are the lures I use. Over the past year have absolutely gained confidence in these 2 lures. If I’m not catching that means the fish are not there and need to make a move.

3) Do not get stuck on the issue of color, I use white or chartreuse. If not catching, the fish are not there, and similar to before, need to make a move.

4) Currently this is the area that I’m developing in. In Virginia fish migrate out in the winter, therefore, have had great success in changing target species.

5) I’m a kayak fisherman, what has contributed to being more successful is mastering what I can do with what I have. What that looks like for me is finding multiple locations to launch from and limiting how far I paddle to about a mile and spending more time fishing the structures available verses spending a majority of my time paddling to a distant location to fish for 30 minutes.

Thanks Saltstrong for helping me learn to fish.

Great post Pat. This will save beginners and experienced fishermen a lot of time, money and angst if they take your suggestions. Most importantly, they’ll likely catch more and bigger fish.
