Want to know what the most impactful (but easiest) thing you can do to catch more fish is?
It's not getting a new lure or rod & reel...
And it's not getting the best live bait...
It's planning out your fishing trips better.
Abe Lincoln said that if he had four hours to chop down a tree, he'd spend the first three hours sharpening his ax.
And that's what planning out your fishing trips is - sharpening your ax to make catching fish easier.
Most anglers just look at the tides and weather, but there's a lot more to it than that.
In this podcast, I'm here with Luke as he'll walk us through a case study of how he would plan a fishing trip right now based on the conditions and the trends.
If you're frustrated that you're not catching as many fish as you think you should be catching, you're going to love this video.
Have any questions about planning out your fishing trip?
Let us know down in the comments!

Any idea if these maps and data will work for Gold Coast, Australia 🇦🇺

[@williamboden2545]

I just joined the insiders club. I have fished all my life and have never had anyone help to understand "structure and how fish think, if you will". I don't have a problem pay my dues everyone desires to make a living. Don't get away from you claim and I will continue to support you.

I’m an insider and this is by far the most helpful thing I have watched might be a good idea to do an updated version with the smart spots… especially loved the emphasis on boat approach which I don’t see in a lot of videos or weekly updates

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! We'll pass it along to our Team and Coaches to see about getting an updated version, and more info on boat approach when fishing.

Everyone should become an Insider Member. It's not that expensive, and you will save the amount of annual membership at Insiders tackle store. Just got my 5" Slam Shady yesterday!☺️

John Skinner has a great fishing log that I have been using for 12 years. Sorting by date, wind and tide is a great trip planning tool. Unfortunately, it is an old Java based platform. Skinner is a research analytical master fisherman.

Awesome brothas... simple and very informative! You guys watching this that are not insiders...you're missing out! These guys are the real deal! I was skeptical to join at first...but it was money well spent. Ever since i became an insider, I've been successful on every trip using these charts and learning their techniques.

[@Highonflorida]

That's awesome because this is where I fish!!!!

[@travisscott9005]

Let’s goo! I’m OCD and let me tell you. I NEEDED THIS! Lol Thanks Salt Strong for the daily content!

[@thedarktraveler7654]

One suggestion I would make for SFT is that it does not accurately display peak fishing times over night. Bridge, Pier, and lighted docks fisherman would like this.

[@rolandrodriguez5470]

Im a kayak fisherman so planing a trip its difrent for me than someone with a boat. Do a trip planning based on a kayak trip.

[@brose1129]

Just what I needed man

[@lincolnfrey7754]

Boat: the constant fixer upper lol

[@FL-PHILLIP]

I am a member looking at sonar maps, what do the strike spots look like?

[@TheFamilyAdmin]

The wind direction and speed is usually correct, but the precipitation is never right. I think you should change it to a % number.

[@jeremyrosenahagen4577]

Which map were u using?

[@kateskrmetta2022]

Okay I’m struggling . My area has 2% current … I’m in between the center of to inlets and the tide and current doesn’t reach . So wind …. You are saying to fish the windy side but that’s is so rough .. I would think that fish want to be hiding next to windy spots so bait will be blown to them but out of the wind so they aren’t blown around ?? Any advice or assurance that I’m understanding this correctly

[@AViancourt]

The three b’s - bird bait boils… what are boils ?

[@neilwiththedeal]

I like diamonds

[@originalShea550]

It'sI guess this is 'inshore' But i was more expecting a 'from shore.' It's tough for a complete noob, who'se never fished any saltwater (recently moved from Missouri) to come down and just find places to fish. I tend to shoot for Bridges and overpasses, as theres usually a pier there, but none of the spots I seem to go to are very productive. And I've been all over. I don't completely understand current either, but I just can't seem to find the fish. Any tips specifically for this? Alot of the areas you point out on the maps to look for are not accessable to on foot anglers due to it being someone else property or an island, or whatever.

[@RobertHGarrett]

I’m a west coast fisherman (San francisco), and I’m wondering how effective smart fishing tides would be for west coast fishing? I imagine you’d need to collect enough data from here to feed the AI. Any plans to collect data from west coast fishermen? It would be a great tool for me as I’m just exploring salt water fishing here. I’ve been following some local KZbinrs. They might be a good source for fishing data. I can give you some recommendations if you wish. Thanks! Looks like a good tool!

[@Saltstrong]

We are actually working on building our own revolutionary spot charting system that is made from all of the best available data around! Stay Tuned!

[@Snoopaloop1981]

How do you avoid getting wrecked by dolphins and pinfish when you have a good plan?

[@joegrande4848]

I'll spend no more that 5 minutes max scouting an area for life or activity on the water. Another big thing if there's no current or wind or at least current waters completely dead move.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@sethouk1453]

Tired of getting skunked!!!

[@aubreyowen5146]

Calm down dude
