This is the ULTIMATE app for inshore saltwater anglers looking to catch more redfish, seatrout, snook, flounder, and MORE!

It includes a map with several layers as well as the weather and tides all in one simple, concise view.

The tides talk to the maps and vice versa to provide you with constant updates so you can follow the fish around.

As you slide the blue bar across the screen, the tides and spots change to show you the exact spots you should fish at any time.

Also, as you move the map around, it pulls data from the closest available tide station automatically.

You can even tilt your phone off to the side and the tide chart will spread across full screen for a better view.

The small blue line is the actual tide movement and behind that are bar graphs representing the Strike Score.

The Strike Score is a proprietary blend of the tides, wind, weather, and other factors that forecast how well a day will be for inshore saltwater fishing with a score of 1-10.

On top of where and when to fish are the Smart Spots.

There are additional map layers and views including 4k satellite mapping, 3D shaded relief, oyster bars, and more.

To gain FULL access to this app, you must be a Salt Strong Insider Member.

If you’re already an Insider Member, all you need to do is head over to the app store and download “Smart Fishing Spots”.

Log in with your Salt Strong sign-in information and you’re good to go!

Be sure to share your catch reports in the Insider Community and let us know what you think of the NEW app!

These are the types of spots you NEED to fish right now and most importantly – WHY!!!

If you haven’t noticed, it’s the middle of summer and it is HOT out there.

This has a MAJOR impact on the types of spots you need to look out for.

Here’s why!

Incoming Tides

Keep in mind, I am showing you one specific spot, however, the concepts we discuss will apply all over the country.

When the temperatures are this high during the middle of summertime, the fish are looking for THREE specific things.

They’re looking for cooler water, easy access to bait, and finally dissolved oxygen.

As the water temperature increases, there is less oxygen in that water.

The best source for cooler, oxygenated water is the cool ocean water getting flushed in with incoming tides.

This is why inlets and passes close to bigger bodies of water are especially better fishing spots this time of year.

Specifically, we want to first fish those areas that are hit by that incoming water from the ocean.

Not only is the water cooler, but the bait is present in these areas as well which the fish are locked into.

This approach is for incoming tides.

Outgoing Tides

On outgoing tides, you want to identify spots where predatory fish can line up and let bait get pushed with the tide right into their mouths.

Look for areas where fish can stage as rivers dump water out into oceans.

Anything getting flushed out of the rivers will pass through these areas and the fish know that and stage there for feeding.

Those are the details you need to look for when finding spots anywhere in the country right now.

Smart Spots

Furthermore, an even easier way to find these types of spots in 60 seconds or less is with Smart Spots.

Our Smart Fishing Spots platform includes Smart Spots which identifies the best fishing zones in a given area based on tides, weather, and other factors.

These spots will change seasonally and with the tides to indicate whether or not they’re “Hot” or “Fair” for fishing.

Smart Spots uses all the necessary information to provide you with instant hotspots depending on the conditions.

This is only a piece of the puzzle.

The other factor that comes into play is knowing what to do when you get out there.

This is what we do at Salt Strong.

We help teach you exactly what you need to do when you get out on the water.

We’ll help simplify your approach to catch MORE fish in LESS time.

What are the best areas to look for when targeting redfish, seatrout, and snook???

It is a common goal for inshore anglers to set out and reel in an inshore slam.

In the video below, I’ll show you how you can use Smart Fishing Spots to find areas that hold all 3 species so you can come up with an inshore slam on your next trip out.

Gear Mentioned In The Video:

Smart Fishing Spots is exclusive software we developed for our Insider Members as a useful resource to find quality spots and effectively pre-plan fishing trips.

Insiders also use the platform while on the water to find new spots or gather more intel if things changed once they got to their pre-selected spot.

Right off the bat, you’ll notice we have a ton of different features and buttons under the Map Layers section.

Oyster Beds and Seagrass are a click away and will populate on the map instantly.

We also have a feature called Smart Spots that provides ideal fishing spots for your area based on the tide, weather, and other factors.

These resources help you narrow down where you should fish based on the species you’re after.

Speckled Seatrout

When targeting seatrout, the main areas to focus on are out on the grass flats in 1.5 to 3 feet of water.

When the tide moves out, you should move a bit further out to deeper sections of the flat.

Areas with potholes and broken bottom structure are ideal zones for trout.

Snook

When I’m fishing for snook, I like to fish chokepoints or areas with moving current.

Spots in between islands or oyster beds paired with a deep trough and moving current are examples of quality snook spots.

Chokepoints in the middle of two islands or points are also noteworthy areas for targeting snook.

Something else to keep in mind is the water level and if there are mangroves in the area.

If the water is pushed into the mangroves, snook will often sit in cut-outs in the mangroves.

Pitching lures into these areas is a great way to spark a bite.

Redfish

Redfish will likely be pushed up into muddy coves and they’ll often be close to the bottom.

They are scavengers that cruise muddy areas in search of crabs, shellfish, snails, or clams to eat.

Unlike trout and snook both of which are ambush predators.

Backwater coves of 1-2 feet depending on the tide are ideal zones for redfish.

Lure Selection

It can be a hassle to have to switch lures based on the species you are targeting.

If you want a lure that appeals to all 3 species mentioned, then go with a paddletail lure.

Any of our 3.5-inch Slam Series Paddletails work year-round and trigger strikes from seatrout, snook, redfish, and plenty more species.

As far as color choice, I would go with the lighter Slam Shady color if the water is clean.

Or if the tide is moving out and the water is dirty, I recommend fishing with the Gold Digger lure color which is black with gold flake.

Gold works really well in dirty water because it does not require as much light as other colors to flash.

The hooks I rig these lures up on depends on where I’m fishing.

If I’m out fishing an open flat of more than 3-4 feet deep, I’ll use a jighead.

If I’m fishing close to structure like mangroves or oysters, I recommend a weedless rigging hook.

Our 3/0 Hoss Helix Hook weighing 1/8oz. is all-purpose and shines in shallow water near structure.

Salt Strong Insider Club

Keep in mind, the areas I highlighted in this video are just examples of the types of areas you should look for when targeting redfish, seatrout, or snook.

Spots are not the only way to catch fish.

Other factors like wind direction, tidal flow, time of the day, and seasons all come into play when inshore saltwater fishing.

This is where we most often see anglers struggle – putting all of these variables together to effectively hit the water and find fish.

This is what we do here at Salt Strong.

We give our members the resources and tools they need to consistently find and catch more fish in less time while saving money.

Smart Fishing Spots, Smart Fishing Tides, Mastery Courses, and Tackle Discounts are just the tip of the iceberg.

If you aren’t catching the quantity or quality of fish you want, then think about joining us in the Insider Club.
