Trip Report

Insider Member Jason Blanton was struggling to get results with lures in his home waters, so I had him join me on a quick morning session to see what was causing the lack of results.

He’s done a lot of live bait fishing but found inconsistent results with lures.

Within a few casts, he was shockingly quick at getting strikes with an assortment of lures.

I started things off by throwing the Moonwalker Topwater lure and set Jason up with a subsurface Mulligan paddletail.

This is a super effective strategy to dial into a bite.

Jason started off the trip reeling in a trout on his first cast.

The bite wasn’t steady due to the irregular tides but Jason was getting much more action on subsurface lures than I was on hard-body topwater baits.

So, I decided to take him to a local bridge to work some Prawn USA lures on bottom.

That’s when we got into a steady grouper bite of all sizes.

Later on, we moved to deeper zones of grass flats just next to nearby channels.

This is an excellent way to uncover a bite.

More often than not, fish are there and willing to eat.

The main takeaways from this trip are keep moving to find the bite.

If you’re struggling, check to make sure your rigs and line and everything is set.

Then, locate the 90/10 Zone to find those fish!!

Or want to introduce someone else to the world of fishing?

If so, I’ll show you the #1 rig for all beginner anglers.

It’s a surefire way to get quick bites and feel the thrill of tight lines!

How To Tie The Palomar Knot

Gear Needed:

• Daiwa D Shock Spinning Combo
• Size #1 Hook

This is a universal rig that is as close as you can get to a guarantee no matter where you’re fishing.

We’re not going to talk specific species.

It’s all about hitting the water to catch something to get tight lines.

If you’re just getting into saltwater fishing, you don’t need fancy, expensive equipment.

As a matter of fact, simple is better.

Recommended Gear Outfit

Combos are a great choice for beginners.

We have an excellent combo available in our tackle shop – the Daiwa D Shock Spinning Combo.

The rod is a 7-foot Medium Power Spinning Rod combined with a spinning reel spooled with 12-lb monofilament.

They are very inexpensive and will get the job done.

Universal Saltwater Rig

Because the reel is spooled with monofilament, there is no need for leaders or pre-tied rigs.

On the end of the line, tie a size #1 hook using a Palomar Knot.

Then about six inches up from that, we’re going to put a small split-shot weight.

The weight of the split-shot will depend on the depth you’re fishing as well as the speed of the current.

That’s all there is to it.

Bait Choices

As far as the bait to use, frozen shrimp is always a great choice.

Yes you can use live shrimp but frozen will get the job done.

Break the shrimp up into little pieces and slide them onto the hook.

Drop the bait down near hard structure like docks, bridges, oysters, etc. – spots where there are all sorts of fish swimming below.

Spot Selection

The best places to start with this rig are near bridges or piers.

These are big structures that hold lots of fish.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when fishing off of piers is casting way out in front of them.

The fish are right beneath your feet close to the structure.

A common error here is staying in one spot for too long.

If you’re fishing one bridge piling without any luck, pick up and try a different spot.

Keep moving until you find the bite.

Once you find one fish, more often than not you’ll find more.

The post #1 Rig For Beginner Anglers New To Saltwater Fishing appeared first on Salt Strong Fishing Club.

We designed our very own Popping Cork, Dr. Popper, so we had to hit the water to test it out!

Check out the results and final tally below!!

Popping Corks VS. Weighted Hooks [VIDEO]

Get Dr. Popper Popping Corks

Joe and I started off fishing the same exact lure – but I had a popping cork tied on my rig.

We both were using a Slam Shady 2.0 paddletail.

I rigged that on a jighead below the popping cork while Joe had his rigged on a Hoss Helix Hook.

Joe had it rigged on a Hoss Helix Hook and I had it beneath a Dr. Popper popping cork roughly 18 inches from the hook.

To keep things fair, we fished the same areas and swapped setups halfway through.

I kicked things off with the first fish but Joe followed it up quickly to even things out.

When the score hit 5-3 (in favor of the popping cork) it was time to switch setups.

After everything was over, the Popping Cork setup won the day catching the most fish.

The popping cork we used is Dr. Popper.

They are unique in the fact that they used monofilament line instead of wire.

That typically prevents you from fitting popping corks into most tackle boxes.

This is not the case with Dr. Popper.

I’ve fished all across the southeast and other parts of the United States.

Below are my TOP 10 spots to fish!

Top 10 Bucket List Inshore Fishing Spots [VIDEO]

Not a member? Then click here to join the Insider Club today so you can get access to Smart Fishing Spots, discounts on the tackle in our shop, and much more.

1. Baffin Bay, Texas

This is a place you may have already heard of.

It is legendary fishing grounds for trophy trout.

Redfish and black drum are there as well but people fish here for the trout.

The nearest big city is Corpus Christi which is about an hour from this spot.

As a result, the bay is not as pressured as you may think.

One downfall of this place is it’s not really a family destination due to its isolation.

2. Orange Beach, Alabama

This is a family vacation destination.

The inshore fishing is excellent with loads of opportunities at big fish.

3. Topsail, North Carolina

This has fantastic inshore fishing that flies under the radar.

The fishing is outstanding in a nice little town with great beaches.

During the winter this spot becomes a great area to target trout while the flounder and redfish are plentiful in the summer.

4. Hopedale Lagoon, Louisiana

No matter the time of year, this spot has it all.

You can catch a ton of fish here.

Especially in the warmer months, redfish galore!

Another great thing about this spot is it is not far from New Orleans.

5. Florida’s Nature Coast

This refers to anywhere from Panacea down to Pasco County just north of Tampa.

This area is what locals call “Old Florida”.

It is underdeveloped with no beaches or big cities.

That’s what makes the fishing here the same as it was years ago.

It is a great place to catch both quality and quantity fish.

6. Mississippi Coast

The Mississippi coastline is 50 miles across and has some great fishing spots.

The fishing is outstanding and not many people have this on their radar.

Especially in the colder months, the fish are pushed back into the marshes and creeks that spread across the coastline.

7. Murrels Inlet, South Carolina

This spot is typically not busy compared to other high-traffic areas.

The fishing here is epic – especially in the warmer months for flounder.

8. Chesapeake Bay Area (Virginia)

This place is loaded with fish.

I had one of the best redfish days I’ve ever had while fishing there.

9. Guana Lake, Florida

This is one of my favorite places to fish in the entire country.

It is a dammed up river that holds MASSIVE trout.

This is one of those places known to hold 30″+ fish.

Another cool thing is due to the rules of the lake, only kayaks are basically allowed in the area.

Also, you don’t have to worry too much about the tides – just keep an eye on the wind.

10. Mosquito Lagoon, Florida

The Mosquito Lagoon has made an incredible comeback over the last few years.

I’ve had my best redfish year to date on the Mosquito Lagoon in the last 12 months.

It is a special place worthy of being on your inshore fishing spots bucket list.

The fishing is great all year round.

But, I believed the redfish would be in a springtime trend due to a recent warming period.

So, I hit the water with Insider Member JJ McCray to work on positioning and talk about finding fish in these types of tough fishing situations!

Check out the entire trip including all of the lessons learned below!!

Check out the FULL Insider Report from this trip

JJ and I set out to target inshore redfish.

He wanted to dial into the redfish bite during these early days of spring.

He hasn’t had any issues finding trout – so he wanted to learn more to specifically target redfish in spring.

On days like this, redfish are typically going to sit closer to the grassline.

No matter what structure you’re fishing (oyster beds, grasslines, rocks, etc.), you want to fish as tight to it as possible.

You should try and move closer to effectively position yourself for an accurate cast.

You want your baits as close to shore or as tight to structure as possible.

That is where the predatory fish are hanging out.

Chances are most of the strikes will happen within a few cranks of the reel.

If you’re working a shoreline, take notice of slight changes or things that stand out.

Cast there!!!

The post Hunting Redfish According To Springtime Trends [Member Makeover] appeared first on Salt Strong Fishing Club.

I unfortunately lost a possible trophy fish because of it.

Worst of all – it is 100% avoidable.

Here’s how to prevent this fishing line leader fail!!

Common Mistake That Loses Fish [VIDEO]

Advanced Knots Module [Fishing School]

Equipment:

• The Prawn USA Original – F.R.E.D.
• 1 oz. Hoss Weedless Football Jighead
• Braid – 30lb Daiwa J-braid x8 Grand
• Leader – 30lb Ande Monofilament
• Scent – Dr. Juice Saltwater Slam Scent
• Rod – Prototype (MH Slot Machine)
• Reel – Daiwa Saltist MQ 3000

While I was out fishing a nearshore reef, I hooked into a GIANT keeper cobia.

After I took the hook out, I went and checked my leader line.

This is something you should be in the habit of doing.

I thought everything was fine with my leader so I kept on fishing.

Not long after that, I got what could’ve been the BIGGEST fish I’ve ever hooked into with artificial lures.

This fish ripped off drag and felt like a monster cobia.

It could’ve been my biggest cobia ever…

But I will never know.

Because I did not retie my leader assembly.

Although the line felt fine in my hands, the loop that wraps through the eye of the jighead was compromised.

That was the part that gave way when the fish was peeling off drag.

WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE:

• Retie the loop knot

I did not check the loop knot that was attached to the jighead.

I should have looked at that knot and retied it since it was compromised.

Even if it does not appear broken, it is worth retying.

• Used a bite tippet

This was one of the few times I did NOT use a bite tippet.

The bite tippet is a small 6-8 inch section of leader at the end of your normal leader to strengthen the entire system.

Always check the loop of your loop knots after reeling in big fish.

And using a bite tippet is recommended when fishing around hard structure for bigger fish.

This will ensure there is no failure up close to the lure.

Sometimes you need that little bit of extra sound to spark a bite.

I sure needed it on my last trip out.

Check out how easy it was to add rattles to my lures with this NEW device!

Get the Z-Man Rattle-Snaker Tool

Featured Lures:

• Alabama Leprechaun Mulligan
• Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ
• Z-Man Kicker CrabZ

I was recently fishing a tournament in Jacksonville, Florida in super muddy water.

I needed to make something happen if I wanted to place near the top.

The Z-Man Rattle-Snaker tool allowed me to effortlessly add rattles to lures so I could get the strikes I needed.

It is a simple tool used to insert rattles in soft plastic lures.

Before putting the needlepoint of the tool in the lure, establish where the hook will be in the lure.

Steer clear of that area.

Insert the Rattle-Snaker tool into the lure and twist off the back end of the tool.

Take a Battle Rattle and place that inside the chute on the front-end piece of the tool that is still inside the lure.

Then, slide the end of the Rattle-Snaker back into place pushing the rattle into the lure.

Use your thumb to carefully slide the tool out of the lure leaving the rattle in place.

Stretch the lure out a bit and you’ll lock the rattle into place.

The same concept will apply no matter the soft plastic lure you are using.

Find areas of the lure that won’t interfere with the hook but also have enough plastic to secure the rattle.

Are you just starting your inshore saltwater fishing journey?

There’s a lot of inaccurate information out there.

Unlock the TRUTH below!!

Inshore Fishing Myths Debunked [VIDEO]

Not a member? Then click here to join the Insider Club today so you can get access to Smart Fishing Spots, discounts on the tackle in our shop, and much more.

Myth #1: You Need Live Bait To Catch Fish

This is absolutely not true.

Every day, dozens on dozens of our Insider Members are sharing reports of BIG fish they caught on artificial lures.

We are not saying live bait does not catch fish.

In fact, if you are a beginner, you should try out live shrimp while fishing inshore.

You’ll wind up catching something.

But, you don’t need to always rely on live bait.

If you take the time to master artificial lures, it can save you TIME and MONEY!

Myth #2: You Need A TON Of Different Lures

We’re all susceptible to clever marketing telling us we need the latest and greatest lure out there.

But, what we teach at Salt Strong is simplicity.

Mastering a few different lure profiles is going to go much further in your fishing success than having every lure known to man.

Find your confidence bait that no matter where or when you can work well to entice a bite.

Myth #3: Color Is MORE Important Than You Think

Color doesn’t really matter all that much.

You’ll hear all sorts of different opinions on lure colors from anyone you know.

The reality is – they ALL work!

The most important thing is finding the feeding fish.

If you’re out there fishing, it is very rare that a slight color change will make the difference.

We need to focus on finding the feeding fish.

Once that is accomplished, we can talk about lure profiles as well as depth coverage.

Myth #4: Fish Don’t Bite During Certain Seasons

In reality, fish are going to eat all year round.

You just need to be where they’re going to be feeding.

Fish follow trends.

During certain times of the year depending on seasonal changes, fish are going to move.

They likely won’t be in the same places.

Myth #5: You NEED A Boat To Catch Big Fish

This is one of the biggest fallacies out there.

It is absolutely not true that you NEED a vessel.

You can still catch a ton of quality fish from shore, you just need to take capitalize on the advantages.

Land-based anglers have the advantage of stealth.

You can get closer to fish and scare less fish away.

Use what you have to your advantage before thinking about leveling up.

The post 5 Beginner Inshore Fishing Myths Debunked appeared first on Salt Strong Fishing Club.

I dropped a camera down beneath a bridge roughly 1 mile from shore in the Gulf to get a glimpse of the world down there.

This gives us awesome insight into what kinds of structure and species are down there!

Take a look!!

Prawn USA Junior Rig:

• Prawn USA Junior Shrimp Lure
• Hoss Weedless Football Jighead (3/0 hook with 1/2 oz. weight)
• Dr. Juice Saltwater Slam Scent

As you can see there are a TON of different fish swimming around with all sorts of rocks and rubble below.

This structure attracts all types of life.

Sheepshead, grunts, mangrove snapper and even some grouper mixed in as well.

Although you can’t see many grouper on camera, they were there.

One of the red grouper down there couldn’t resist the Prawn USA Junior.

That strike I was able to capture on film!

The rest of the fish didn’t seem to react at all to the strike.

This just goes to show that if you find the right spots, you can catch fish after fish.

These fish were constantly moving and on the hunt for something to eat.

A critical component to this type of fishing is using a weedless rig.
