Thanks for the kind words. You might reconsider the comment about Otis being a good fishing partner after you see what he did to me this morning when I had a ~38 inch snook on during a rainstorm... it was total chaos:) Video coming out soon.
Thanks for the info about tides, it's locations and seasonal changes that really have my attention. That dog is so much like my red setter that loved being my fishing partner. At the beach she stole fish from a fisherman's bucket who was pretty disappointed when I returned his dog bit catch. After 25 years I still miss the most loyal fishing partner I ever had. I would give Dogood the occasional fish that made her so happy.
Great info on Tides, BUT I was very surprised to see you catching beautiful fish along a sandy nondescript shallow beach which did not appear to have any structure? What am I missing
Hello! I'm wondering if fishing the rising in or falling out tide in the spring is better. I'll he heading to the Keys for the month of May. - thanks, Kazmin
Thanks for the kind words about this tide tutorial. Glad to see that you enjoy Otis' antics out on the boat. He certainly doesn't help in the fish catching aspect, but he certainly makes every trip more of an adventure:)
Yes, there absolutely are tides the generally outperform others assuming all else is held equal. The point of the video was to highlight the fact that tides aren't everything, and that it is still possible to catch fish even if you're not able to fish during the optimal tide... it's all about making the best out of whatever time you can spend on the water. Fish On!
Hi, I started frequently fishing at a tidal creek under the bridge right next to my university, like just hundreds of feet off campus lines. When I look under the bridge at the creek, I can easily see whether the tide is flowing in or out. The tidal creek flows like an inland river, and the area kind of looks like an inland river under a bridge in a forest, except that's its an inshore, saltwater environment and the current flow direction can change back or forth depending on the tide. Because the tidal current flow on the creek is just as fast as a river current in a river up North, I can easily identify how fast the tide is flowing and whether the tide is going in or out. I fish at a bank adjacent to the bridge and at another bridge they have for fishing in the mangrove pond. There, I caught juvie Snappers and a Blue striped grunt so far. I have a couple of questions to ask you. I use a jig with a piece of shrimp tail as the trailer. When I cast the jig, I let the current take the jig to wherever the current is flowing at that time. So, if for example, at low tide when the current is headed for a mangrove and fallen trees brought down from Irma, would it be a good idea to let my jig flow at the current towards that area?
Just thought I would let you know I started out like you not knowing much coming down from the north and fresh water fishing. I’ve learned so much from your videos and website and wanted to say thanx. Here’s my tip to you for kayaks. Get stinky pants fish stringer and a piece of pvc and drill two holes in it next to each other. Zip tie that to something and now you can string fish super fast and start the next cast faster than a gunslinger no tying knots or anything. Just run it up run it down and it’s snug. Also you can see my chair I rigged, I won a trip with 30MilesOut and the episode is called ripnslash reds. Again thanx for everything.
Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice and helpful comment. How cool that you won a trip with 30MileOut! I'll be sure to check out that episode. Fish On!
I've had fertile fishing spots in Florida off the Halifax River Bulow Creek etc that have never failed in 30 years no matter what time of day no matter what tide no matter what the weather. But all of them did have moving water whether they were fed over an oyster bar by a brackish Creek or water was rushing between two islands in the middle of the intercoastal. Naturally, days some were better than others or nights. Sadly vollectively the fishing in Florida has dropped off considerably than it was 30 years ago.
I know this is an older comment, but you're spot-on. The fishing in FL is nothing like it used to be. Not even close. Amazing to see the negative changes happen in the span of one lifetime.
I noticed on my tide app it gives the h/l times but also flood ebb and slack and the times r different. Im not sure what the flood time and ebb meams ic its different from the h/l times.
The tide projection is water height (vertical movement). And the ebb/flood is the current (horizontal movement). The current generally lags the height, but the time difference is dependent on the hydrodynamics of the body of water.
You know fishing, I know dogs. Im learning saltwater fishing from you guys at saltstrong. Talk to your dog at the right spot, at the right time. You may find dog is Not crazy, its the owner crazy to Not instruct and reward dog at the accomplishment of asked for tasks such as chilling out when fish being brought near and onto vessel. 🤔😌😎
No pro like Luke and Simon here, But my “ best time / tide in St Augustine where we have an average tide twice a day is .......5’ to 6’ change is near the inlet just before and just after low tide...Not when the tide is the fastest... I try to follow the bait schools along the shore. At or near high tide I try to find the shallowest water I can get in to or as the tide falls, the narrowest creek outlet to the ICW... FWITW.. I am also a fan of the lunar schedules..... Fish know when the dinner bell is ringing
Yes, the best time to fish the passes and inlets with very strong current flow is often closer to the turns of the tides. For most other spots with less current flow, the peak current flow period is generally going to have the most feeding.
The gravitational force of the moon is the core driver of the tides, so they are totally related. And since the biggest tidal swings are during the full and new moon phases, those two sections of the lunar phase is typically the most active.
There's of course always some luck involved. But this guy continues to consistently catch slams so there seems to. be a good amount of skill involved too. Here's the latest report video showing a slam while fishing in new waters from a paddleboard: th-cam.com/video/ShWp4FcDrzk/w-d-xo.html
so you just contradicted yourself from illustration 1 and illustration 2....hmmm. what else do you have to sell. What you just proved is ...just go fishing you may or may not catch something
Its So Disturbing to see Lack of training of your dog. Talk to the dog to settle him/her down. An Undisciplined dog is an accident waiting to happen. Fish hook in the head, eye, mouth etc. 😡😡😡😎
You guys need to catch some bigger snook all i see you guys catching is some babys need to consistently catch lunkers then ppl might be more interested
I didn't measure the 3rd snook from this video, but it was lower slot (if not just barely under), which I was happy about given the weak tides and the fact that it was a ~2 hr trip in the middle of the day. Here's a post from an exploration trip to Clearwater showing a bigger snook caught while exploring some new waters over in Clearwater in case you haven't yet seen it: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/clearwater-fishing-report/

Awesome inf0
Love the way the dog gives every fish a smooch 😂👍
🤣🤣
Thanks! I didn't know that current was so important!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great Channel. Caught my first redfish on a lure this weekend SUP fishing and used all the info learned here. Thanks Salt Strong!
With 50 years of research I’ve determined that the best time to catch reds or any fish for that matter is when they’re biting 😜
Otis is the best fishing partner ever!! That dog is soo awesome! Love it!

“Ottis got some uh some good fish licks there” Haha awesome video
Awesome video. It's good to see you providing value along with your promotions. Thanks.

I think he CGIed the background in. I think it was really mangroves. lol jk.

Like these videos, been helping me quite a bit. Love the dog

Nice efforts, nice video, nice boat, nice dog but there is the best tides for fishing.
Yes, there absolutely are tides the generally outperform others assuming all else is held equal.

Great teacher Luke 🤜🤛
So glad we can help!

Enjoy most Salt Stong videos this one was more of an infommercial for the insider club, didn't do justice to the topic.

Still great fishin here
I know this is an older comment, but you're spot-on. The fishing in FL is nothing like it used to be. Not even close. Amazing to see the negative changes happen in the span of one lifetime.
One day I hope to figure our exactly where the fish will be but as of right now I am terrible at catching keeper reds in FL 😔
Keep at it Jacob - watch Redfish vids, you'll hit some!
if you gave your crazy dog a fishing rod he wouldn't be so crazy lol. very helpful video
Haha!
I noticed on my tide app it gives the h/l times but also flood ebb and slack and the times r different. Im not sure what the flood time and ebb meams ic its different from the h/l times.
The tide projection is water height (vertical movement). And the ebb/flood is the current (horizontal movement). The current generally lags the height, but the time difference is dependent on the hydrodynamics of the body of water.
@@Saltstrong if the time it gives for flood. Say 738. Does thst mean when the flood tide starts or ends?
You know fishing, I know dogs. Im learning saltwater fishing from you guys at saltstrong. Talk to your dog at the right spot, at the right time.

Fish know when the dinner bell is ringing
Yes, the best time to fish the passes and inlets with very strong current flow is often closer to the turns of the tides. For most other spots with less current flow, the peak current flow period is generally going to have the most feeding.
So tides are important but their not important, weather is important, temp and season are important as well. Ok so......
So basically you don't know just go fish sounds good to me!!!!!
This could’ve been summed up much faster haha
Good boy otis
He loves it out there!
I think Otis enjoys fishing more than you do. lol
OTIS KNOWS!!!!! =D
Davis Island! My spot!
So important that there’s no best tide. Lol
what about moon!!
The gravitational force of the moon is the core driver of the tides, so they are totally related. And since the biggest tidal swings are during the full and new moon phases, those two sections of the lunar phase is typically the most active.
LIGHTBULB!
Bet he's just lucky. You ain't no super computer calculating all this temperature, cloud cover, water flow, parametric pressure bs.
There's of course always some luck involved. But this guy continues to consistently catch slams so there seems to. be a good amount of skill involved too. Here's the latest report video showing a slam while fishing in new waters from a paddleboard: th-cam.com/video/ShWp4FcDrzk/w-d-xo.html

Unhelpful
Sorry to see that you did not find this post helpful. Let us know what types of tips you're interested in seeing.
Because...you've given up fishing?
Maybe if you would lay off the Vaseline and put a different "Rod" in your hand you would find it more useful.
You guys need to catch some bigger snook all i see you guys catching is some babys need to consistently catch lunkers then ppl might be more interested
