EP 367: Suspending Hard Bait Lures (When to use & When to avoid) Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Suspending hard bait lures from brands such as Mirrolure and Rapala can be amazing in certain situations. However, they can also be ineffective during certain times of the year and certain types of structure.

So we had a few of our fishing coaches chime in to discuss when (and when not) to use suspending hard lures.

Enjoy and tight lines!

UNCHURCHED #109 - How To Find FAITH In YOURSELF? Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

If you've ever struggled to find faith in yourself (or just been down on yourself or low self-confidence), you aren't alone. I've been there many times before and I'm betting that most everyone has. Sometimes the toughest part is pulling yourself together and getting out of the rut.

Here's how to do it.

EP 366: How To Catch Sheepshead On Bridge Pilings Dec 02, 2021

Show notes

We've had a bunch of requests for targeting sheepshead on bridge pilings so Luke and I grabbed some shrimp and hit a random piling to test our luck.

Listen in as we share our favorite sheepshead rig, how to make sure you catch more fish than structure, and how to maximize your time and bait.

Enjoy and tight lines.

EP 365: Rod Building 101 (Learning Lessons On Building Great Fishing Rods) Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

Luke and Justin came back from their 3-day rod building class and said they learned more about fishing rods in 3 days than they had in 30 years. They even mentioned that many of the big manufacturers weren't sharing enough of the much-needed intel on what makes a rod great.

So I got them on the show to share everything they learned.

Enjoy and tight lines.

UNCHURCHED #108 - Why My 2-Year Alcohol Experiment Is Now Over... Nov 28, 2021

Show notes

Yep, it's over. A little over two years ago, I instituted a 3-drink maximum into my life. And for the first year, it worked perfectly.

But then it became not as much fun.

Here's what happpened.

EP 364: How To Catch Mangrove Snapper On This Shrimp Rig Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

If you'd like to catch more mangrove snapper inshore (without having to head miles out) then you've got to hear this. Luke and I fish residential canals using a super simple shrimp rig and catch a bunch of snapper.

The best news is that these shrimp rigs are super affordable and this can be done before work it's so simple.

Enjoy and tight lines.

EP 363: Speckled Trout On Demand Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

It's almost here! The ultimate online course on catching trout from Texas to Florida to North Carolina (and everywhere in between). So in this podcast, we briefly discuss the upcoming course with Capt. Peter Deeks (and a monster lineup of top trout guides) along with sharing some great speckled trout tips for the late fall and winter.

If you love catching speckled trout, then you don't want to miss this!

UNCHURCHED #107 - My 10-Year Old Daughter Brought Me To Tears With One Shocking Sentence... Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

Being a parent isn't easy. Some days you get it right (or at least feel like you did), and some days you feel like you failed. I had a recent conversation with my 10-year old that quickly made me realize I had failed her in one of the most important departments of her life.

I'm willing to bet I'm not alone.

So grab some popcorn (and maybe a tissue if you're inclined to tear up) and listen to what just happened.

EP 362: What if we RELEASED ALL FISH for an entire year? Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

A recent video released by Simms (about the striped bass decline up north) had a very clear smoking gun... the recreational angler.

It was one of the first times most of the fingers were pointed at us recreational anglers (instead of commercial fishermen, pollution, etc).

It created an internal debate here at Salt Strong about what would actually happen if we all agreed to release every fish for a year?

I'm not convinced that is the answer but my guess is the answer lies somewhere in the middle of two extremes.

Listen in to find out more and please leave us your candid thoughts on this topic. It's definitely a discussion (and NOT a sermon or lecture).

EP 361: Best Cold Weather Fishing Gear Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

Fishing in the winter months can be amazing. The fish are all congregated together (so if you find one, you usually find a bunch of them), plus there aren't as many knuckleheads out on the water.

But one of the toughest parts about fishing in the winter is the cold. Combine the cold with water (which will inevitably find it's way on you) it can be tough.

So in this episode, we break down exactly what we use to stay warm from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas.

Tight lines!
