Can You Catch Multiple Fish in the Same Spot?
- By: Tony Acevedo

When a fish finds a comfortable spot to hang out and there’s food available, it’s rarely alone. That’s why we constantly remind you to look for 90/10 zones—areas where 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water.
If you’re fishing live bait and chumming, you can catch a ton of fish in one spot, which is why it’s a top technique for guides to keep their clients on tight lines.
But what about when you’re fishing with lures? Can you catch multiple fish out of the same spot? In this video, I’ll show why it’s important to work an area thoroughly once you find fish, and that one good cast deserves another.

Key Takeaways
- Most inshore fish aren’t afraid to hang out together, offering multiple chances to catch them in relatively small areas.
- Don’t assume that catching one fish means the others are spooked and won’t eat.
- Even if the spot is disturbed, it’s still comfortable for the fish. Give it a little time to settle down and work it again.

Well I don’t need to be a coach at saltstrong to know yes is the answer to this question considering most fish school together fish like trout reds flounder pretty much every inshore fish we here in the US fish for can be caught in more then just one in the same location but remember that really big fish like gator trout are pretty much loners so mostly the smaller ones school more th en the larger of tge species but that’s not to say multiple big fish of the same species can’t be caught together in one spot it’s just more common in smaller fish that’s why like trout if your catching a bunch at once they usually are fairly small in fact in my experience they are usually unfortunatly just under the slot size of minimum 15 inches usually the ones caught together are around that 13 and 14 inch size range that have to be let go to be legal just saying that is what I have experienced and like always only speak for myself thanks for the Intel and all you do
Yep fish will often school together, but what most people think is that when you’re fighting a fish, others in the area will shut down and not bite.
That is true but you are right not all will in fact if take for instance the popping cork it’s supposed to mimic other feeding fish making splashes and commotion while competing for the bait being presented then the fish hear the sound of the cork and or click of the beads and they investigate then after seeing the bait or lure and no other fish around it they hit it but unfortunatly fir me I could never really catch much on a popping cork with either live bait or lure anyways you get my meaning and I get yours as well and again thanks for the info and the reply and all you do
Thanks for the advice Tony Your tips are very helpful to this novice
