Salt Strong Fishing Joe Simonds

I really struggled with this one... not only did this $150,000 COVID stimulus money feel like free money, I knew of numerous business owners who took the money to help grow their business. But at the end of the day, there was ONE thing that led me to turn it down...

Pairing the best spinning rod and reel can be tricky. In fact, most anglers don't do this correctly (which means they aren't maximizing what they purchased). If you fish with spinning gear then this is a must-listen episode. Enjoy!

In this episode, we head out on the flats with a livewell full of whitebait (little sardines) and walk you through the best fishing spots, how to chum up your spot, how to rig your live bait, and much much more. If you fish with live bait (or want to get better at it), you'll really enjoy this episode.

During a tough time, you have two options. Option one is to hope and pray you get back to where you were before the bad times started.

After reading the book, "Through The Fishes Eye," by Mark Sosin, I reached out to him to see if he'd come on the show to discuss everything he learned about gamefish behavior.

He called these scents "Smell Tracks" and has separated them into three different categories. Listen in as we share all three types of underwater scents. This could definitely be one of those game-changing fishing breakthroughs.
