Have you heard of Cami Cakes yet?
If you spend any time on Instagram, there is a good chance you’ve come across her fish pictures.
She’s grown her following from zero to 100,000 people in a crazy short amount of time (see her Instagram page here), and she’s now even gone pro (she recently received her captain’s license and started her own charter company).
Cami has also become incredibly consistent at catching inshore fish (like redfish, speckled trout, and flounder).
She started off fishing in Florida (where she grew up), and now she lives in Slidell, Lousiana where she is starting her guide service.
And as someone who risked everything to make a living in the fishing industry, I truly appreciate stories like this.
Click down below to listen in as we discuss her background, her love for fishing, how social media is impacting fishing, and much more.
I’ll also add in her latest YouTube video where she shows her favorite redfish recipe.
Enjoy!

She is pretty yes….she does have a lot of followers….I support her efforts….
she fishes and is a captain….I would hope she has her Captain’s license…..she’s a go getter
I definitely had to follow on IG. Beautiful woman catching beautiful fish…. doesn’t get much better.
Not a lot of charter pics on her page. Why is that?
Her charters officially start Jan 2019.
Because she doesn’t catch fish like most Louisiana fishing guides do.
Hmm…Cami Cakes…no doubt that’s her real name (sounds more like a porn star)…note to Salt Strong: it’s 2018 – bikini “pin-up fishing girls” are so passe – as well as blatantly sexist. Way to go, Salt Strong…nothing like promoting female anglers. Salt Strong should be ashamed of itself.
Hey Jack,
Great to hear from you. I’m guessing by your comment that you didn’t listen to the actual interview…
If you did, you’d know that Cami does have a real last name, she is an actual fishing captain, she’s turned down real job offers so she can pursue her career in the fishing world (trust me, she could make far more money doing something else), and she’s doing more to attract young people into the fishing industry than most other individuals.
As far as being ashamed to promote female anglers, not even sure how to reply to that one…
Here’s my stance:
If someone risks everything they’ve got to pursue a job in the fishing world, then I 100% support them. I don’t care if they are white, black, Asian, male, female, ugly, attractive, short, or tall.
I would hope any serious fisherman who truly wants to see the next generation have the same fishing opportunities that we did would support anyone trying to get more people out fishing.
Tight lines.
Joe
Well said Joe. You handled that way better than I did in my mind ???????? I love my SALT STRONG family too much to risk getting ‘excommunicated’ for what I wanted to say to this fine gentleman. KUDOS & TIGHT LINES my friend
Thank you brother, Michael! Pa-POW!
i agree with you 100% joe –well said
