In this episode, we go LIVE and UNCUT on the water in Tampa Bay so you get to hear exactly what's going through our minds when the wind is kicking and the bite is tough.
As fishing educators, it's critical that we show both the great days and tough days. Not every single trip is amazing, and the fish aren't always biting. Yes, we still managed to catch a few fish and avoid the skunk (ironically Luke caught a snook just minutes after the camera stopped rolling), but this was a very slow day.
Listen in to hear what's going through our minds and what types of spots we hit up on a tough day. You can always learn a lot from the tough ones...

A shrimp is the most common bait for saltwater fishing ever created. So it's no surprise that a shrimp lure is one of the best lures to catch fish.
But one of the problems is that most of the shrimp lures come pre-rigged (not good) which can make them tough to go weedless (which is ideal because fish hold tight to structure).
So listen in as we share what we believe is the best shrimp lure rig ever made.

It's a fact that seagrass is dying at an alarming rate across Florida (and other states). The worse news is that even much of the new grass being planted is dying.
