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]

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.

You can do this with both live or artificial baits.

Do you want to see more underwater camera footage like this?

Let me know what I should capture next in the comments below!!

We’re in the early days of spring and on the hunt for some pompano.

Check out the FULL Insider Report for this trip

Beach Fishing Tips & Tactics [How To Find Spots!]

FEATURED RODS:

• [Best] TFO Tactical Surf Fishing Rod
• [Good] Daiwa Emblem Pro Surf Fishing Rod

FEATURED REELS:

• [Best] BG MQ 3000
• [Good] Daiwa BG 3000

RIGS & ACCESSORIES:

• Salty Pompano Double Drop Rigs
• FishGum Cut-N-Chunk
• Surf Hippie Phishing Blue Sand Spike

This time we experimented with different colors of FishGum.

Capt. B relies on FishGum for a few reasons and never fishes from the beach without it.

We had a bunch of different colors of FishGum to experiment with on this trip.

Lately when I’ve been fishing with Capt. B, we’ve absolutely crushed it.

So we were hoping for more of the same.

Our test focused on the yellow FishGum versus the Purple/Green color.

The bite was absolutely non-stop.

Fish after fish hit our baits the second we tossed them out there.

There were TWO main takeaways from this trip.

Number one, both colors of FishGum caught fish.

Color was not a major factor in triggering bites.

We’ll need to do more testing to definitively say one color was better than the other.

Finding a quality spot was the major determining factor.

If you put your baits out in front of fish, you’ll get them to eat.

The second lesson learned is you don’t have to go out and buy a big surf fishing reel.

For many years, I avoided buying a traditional surf fishing rod.

On this trip, I put a typical inshore reel (3000-size) on my surf fishing rod.

I had both the Daiwa BG MQ 3000 and the BG 3000 outfitted on both of my surf setups.

Both of which had 20lb braided line on the spools.

If you are going after bigger fish, you’ll want to upgrade the reels.

But for bluefish, pompano, or whiting, these setups are excellent.
