This weedless shrimp rig is deadly around docks (and bridges). Listen in as we go LIVE (uncut) and fish a brand new spot in Tampa Bay where we put this shrimp rig to the test.
Not only does it attract bites from almost everything from grouper to snapper to sheepshead to snook to redfish, but when rigged correctly, it stays completely weedless and lets you fish area with structure with far fewer snags.
This is definitely one of the best (and easiest) ways to get yourself and your friends on a bunch of fish fast.
Enjoy and tight lines!

As anglers, we've all purchased fishing tackle that doesn't work (some of us more than others). The worst part is that newbie anglers seem to take the brunt of it as they are buying up each and everything that looks good.
Important Note: what looks good in a tackle store doesn't always look good to a fish.
So in this episode we break down all of the major mistakes that we've made when it comes to buying fishing tackle.
The best news is that all anglers can learn from this.
Tight lines and here's to only buying tackle that works!
For years, I had trouble falling asleep. Some nights my anxiety would kick into high gear while other nights I simply rolled around for what felt like hours. I began to think I had sleep apnea.
But one day I was listening to a highly successful man (Ron Carson) talk about how a book on sleeping changed his life. I read the book and before too long I was having some of the best sleep of my life.
I truly believe this can work for almost anyone (of course, if you have a legit sleep disorder then you need more help).
Hope this helps.
In today's episode, we take out 9-year old Shauna in Tampa Bay to get her on some fish. A cold front had just come in and it was tough to get bait so instead we simply trolled the flats until we found the fish.
Ended up having a pretty awesome day (shortly after we stopped filming, we found a big school of trout and caught them until we were tired).
The moral of the story is, do some trolling until you find the fish.
Enjoy.
If you're wondering why it's so hard to get fishing tackle right now, here's the truth about why tackle is hard to come by.
In a sentence, the demand for fishing tackle has DOUBLED (if not tripled), and supply has been crushed (due to a combination of Covid, lack of components, supply chain issues, workers not showing up, etc.
Listen in as we share exactly what's happening, when we should expect things to get better, and what this means for fishing in 2021.
A study by Gallop revealed that 85% of Americans do not enjoy their job. These same people are the ones who "live for the weekend" and get almost all of their pleasure in life starting Friday afternoon.
This might sound harsh, but if this describes your life, you're wasting it.
God never intended any of his children to "live for the weekend" and be stuck in dead-end jobs that we don't love.
Listen in as we share some ideas on how to fix this national issue.
It's been a crazy windy year! The bad news is that for most of us we don't get to choose the days we fish so we've got to know how to get some strikes even when the wind is cranking.
This past week, we had 20+ MPH winds and were having trouble fishing our normal spots.
So listen in to what we did on the edge of a grass flat.
Best news is that it doesn't require a trolling motor or PowerPole.

For years, I was a bit "clumsy" when I prayed. I didn't know what to say or what to ask for. But after many years of trial and error, I've finally found some rhythm to praying. Hope this helps someone out there.
We get a lot of anglers asking us about many of these "super realistic" looking inshore saltwater fishing lures. And we try them all... But truth is, most (but not all) of them don't work very well. In fact, some of these crazy realistic lures flat out don't work at all! And yet, they are some of the most expensive. Listen is as the team discussed some of the best (and worst) realistic lures we've tried.
