Why You're Still Not Catching Fish
You've done the work. Watched the YouTube videos. Tried the lures. Read the forums. Drove to the "right" spots. And you're still coming home empty-handed.
Here's what nobody tells you: the information you're using is broken.
The fishing advice most anglers follow is:
✗ Generic — made for "anglers everywhere," not for YOUR zip code
✗ Outdated — filmed 60-90 days before you see it. Fish moved weeks ago
✗ Isolated — random tips with no system connecting them
✗ Unverified — no one guarantees it actually works
You don't have an effort problem. You have an intelligence gap. And no amount of YouTube videos will close it — because generic information can't solve a local problem.
The Solution
That's exactly what 65,000+ anglers discovered — a 7-layer system that replaced guessing with knowing.
We call it the Salt Strong Insider Club. It combines real-time fishing intelligence, expert coaching, and a 60,000+ member network into one system — so you stop fishing with luck and start fishing with purpose.
Here's a look at the first 3 layers — but only a glimpse.
Layer 1: The "Dead Water" Detector (Where to Fish)
Most anglers have no idea they're fishing spots that haven't produced in weeks. They burn gas, burn daylight, and blame the tide.
Salt Strong Insiders use a tool that shows — in real time — which spots near them are actually producing fish right now. 60,000+ locations. 16 live data layers. Updated constantly.
Start the assessment to see which spots near you are producing — and which ones you've been driving past.
Layer 2: The "Wrong Day" Fix (When to Fish)
Here's a question most anglers never think to ask: What if you're fishing on the right spot… on the wrong day?
Salt Strong Insiders know the exact day and hour fish will be feeding — forecasted 14 days out. They don't hope. They schedule.
Start the assessment to find out the exact days and hours worth fishing — matched to your water and your schedule.
Layer 3: The "Wrong Lure" Eliminator (What to Throw)
Right spot. Right day. Wrong lure. It happens more than you think — and it's invisible to the angler making the mistake.
Salt Strong Insiders get a personalized gameplan that tells them what to throw, how to rig it, and how to work it — for their specific spot, on that specific day. No guessing. No tackle-box roulette.
Start the assessment to unlock a gameplan built for your experience level — so you're never guessing what to throw again.
And that's only 3 of the 7 layers. Layers 4 through 7 cover community intel, expert coaching, gear savings, and a guarantee so bold it has a nickname. The assessment personalizes all 7 layers to your fishing style — because a kayak angler in North Carolina needs a different plan than a boat angler in Tampa Bay.

Transformation Stories
Real anglers who went from Outsider to Insider. Same waters. Different results.
Jeff Goshow
Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Didn't know the science behind when and where fish feed
"The Smart Fishing Spots software tells you where, when, and how to fish using tides, temperature, moon phase — scientific methods I didn't even know about. Plus discounts on tackle, rods, and reels. Join Salt Strong and be part of the family."
AFTER: Fishes with a complete system — where, when, and what to throw
David Pieper
Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Simple John boat, no fancy electronics, limited spots
"I drive a simple John boat — no fancy electronics, just a basic depth finder. But the Smart Fishing Spots app has satellite maps, depth contour maps, and even suggests spots when you're fishing a new area. It's taken my inshore game to the next level."
AFTER: Inshore game at the next level — no expensive electronics needed
Guy Stephens
4-Year Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Watching random YouTube videos with no system connecting them
"They don't just offer a 20% discount on amazing tackle — they show you how to use it. Rigging techniques, retrieve techniques, location techniques — everything is linked together instead of random YouTube videos. Totally integrated."
AFTER: 4 years in — everything integrated into one system
Chris N.
North Carolina · New River
BEFORE: Wasting time guessing where to go and when to go
"Smart Spots and Smart Tides let me know where to go and when to go. It tells me what to target and when to target it. Saved me a lot of time — I get out there and actually catch fish. Here in North Carolina it really helps."
AFTER: Gets out there and actually catches fish — less guessing, more catching
Shawn Spinneweber
Pennsylvania → Florida
BEFORE: Freshwater angler struggling in saltwater
"Came from Pennsylvania fishing freshwater — struggling a lot in the salt. The Smart Fishing Spots and Trend Analyzer dialed me in. Almost every time now, it's putting me right on the fish."
AFTER: "Almost every time now, it's putting me right on the fish"
Jeff Carver
Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Couldn't read water or find strike zones
"The best thing Salt Strong helped me with is how to read water. Strike zones, where to target — the Fish Finder app is crazy awesome. Talking with the coaches online really helps you become a better fisherman."
AFTER: Reads water like a pro — coaches helped him become a better fisherman
Gary Spratling
St. Pete, FL · Land-Based
BEFORE: Land-based angler watching boat guys out-fish him
"I land-based fish and catch more fish than my friends with $200,000 boats. If you fish from a paddleboard, kayak, or wade — you can learn to do all of it better here. Best membership I've ever joined."
AFTER: Catches more fish from shore than friends with $200K boats
Jason May
Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Stopped fishing for 27 years — completely out of the loop
"I stopped fishing at 18 and picked it back up at 45. The tips, the community page, coaching from Tony — it's been such a blessing. I hope to be with this community for a very long time."
AFTER: Back at 45 and thriving — "I hope to be with this community for a very long time"
Troy Pope
Wilmington, NC · Kayak Angler
BEFORE: Kayak angler fishing alone, paying full price for tackle
"The savings on tackle and apparel have been cost effective. But the most important thing? The camaraderie — I fish with other members on a regular basis now. Consider joining the Salt Strong family."
AFTER: Saves on tackle and fishes with fellow members regularly
Samuel Wichael
Colorado → Florida
BEFORE: Mountain fly fisherman who knew nothing about saltwater
"Coming from the mountains of Colorado, I knew Rocky Mountain fly fishing — but nothing about salt. The app, the insider club, the tackle — everything I needed to become a better saltwater fisherman. Now I'm fishing in redfish kayak tournaments."
AFTER: Now competing in redfish kayak tournaments
Dana Ridenour
South Carolina
BEFORE: People were condescending — didn't take her seriously as an angler
"Being a petite female, people were condescending — they didn't take me seriously. I joined Salt Strong and became a successful angler. Now those same people ask ME where to fish. I'm a Salt Strong lifer."
AFTER: "Those same people ask ME where to fish" — Salt Strong lifer
Donald Howell
SE North Carolina
BEFORE: Couldn't maximize time on the water — no personal bests
"I caught my personal best — a 40-inch bull red drum, 30-35 lbs — on a Slam Shady 2.0. The tackle, the tests, the videos — it all helped me maximize my time on the water catching more fish."
AFTER: Personal best — 40-inch bull red drum on a Slam Shady 2.0
Peter LaRosa
Sebastian, FL
BEFORE: Average catch rate, no coaching, paying full price
"It increased my catch rate twofold. Coaches up and down the coast making videos, telling you what they're using and why. For $97 a year it's just unbelievable. It's all legit."
AFTER: Catch rate doubled — "For $97 a year it's just unbelievable"
Daniel Gower
Salt Strong Insider
BEFORE: Skeptical of fishing products — tired of gimmicks and hidden agendas
"Quality education about how fish think — not just knots and lures, but how to find fish. No hidden agendas, no gimmicks. And the community? I've never seen a group of anglers that genuinely want to help you catch fish."
AFTER: "I've never seen a group that genuinely want to help you catch fish"

Why We Built Salt Strong
Part 1 — Two Brothers Who Hated Getting Skunked
We were just two brothers who loved fishing and couldn’t stand coming home empty-handed. Luke especially was putting in the time. Early mornings. Long drives. Burning through gas, tackle, and gear. And still coming home with nothing to brag about.
Part 2 — It Got So Bad Luke Was Getting Ridiculed At The Office
Monday mornings would roll around and the same question would come up: “Did you catch anything this weekend?” And more often than not, the answer was another sad story. The frustrating part? Luke was doing exactly what most anglers are told to do — buying more tackle, trying new lures, listening to sponsored experts. Everyone had an opinion on what color to throw. But almost nobody talked about the one thing that actually matters most.
Part 3 — Finding The Feeding Fish
The anglers who consistently catch fish aren’t just lucky. They simply know where the feeding fish are. Guides know it. Local legends know it. Tournament anglers definitely know it. Once we started focusing on finding feeding fish first — everything changed.
Part 4 — Our AHA Moment
Instead of randomly fishing spots and hoping something would happen, we started approaching every trip with a plan. And the results were dramatic. Luke went from wasting time and money fishing empty water to consistently catching fish — eventually winning fishing tournaments.
Part 5 — That’s Why We Built Salt Strong
That experience shaped everything we do. We took the old-school wisdom we were raised on and combined it with new-school intelligence: real-time data, AI-powered gameplans, and a 65,000-member network sharing what’s working right now. Not more tips. Not more gear. A system — one that tells you where to go, when to go, and what to throw.
That’s the Salt Strong way.
