Salt Strong Meetups: A New Way To Fish & Connect

Ever have a free Saturday morning and think…

“Man, I wish I had somebody to go fishing with.”

Or maybe you want to get a crew together for a boat ramp cleanup.

Or grab breakfast with some local anglers and argue about which lure color is actually the best.

Well, now there’s an easy way to make it happen.

Salt Strong Meetups are officially here (Insiders Only)!

Meetups make it easier than ever to find other Salt Strong Insiders nearby, get together in person, hit the water, give back, and make some new fishing buddies along the way.

What Are Salt Strong Meetups?

The goal is simple:

Make it easy for Salt Strong members to connect in real life.

Members can create fishing trips, conservation events, and community hangouts, while Salt Strong Chapter Presidents can also organize official Chapter Meetings.

Instead of posting, “Anybody want to fish this weekend?” and hoping the right person sees it, you can create a Meetup with the time, place, and details all in one spot.

What Types Of Meetups Can You Create?

There are four types of Meetups, and each is color-coded so you can quickly see what’s happening around you.

Fishing Meetups: BLUE

Want to get on the water with other members?

Create a Fishing Meetup for a boat, kayak, shoreline, or pier fishing trip. You could even organize a charter or simply meet some buddies at the ramp.

Conservation Meetups: GREEN

Conservation Meetups make it easy to rally members around giving back to the fisheries we all love.

That could mean a shoreline or boat ramp cleanup, fish-release event, seagrass planting, habitat restoration, or another local conservation project.

Chapter Meetings: BLACK

Salt Strong Chapter Presidents can create official Chapter Meetings, giving local members an easy way to see when and where their chapter is getting together.

Community Hangouts: ORANGE

Not everything has to involve fishing!

Grab coffee. Meet for breakfast. Get dinner or drinks.

Community Hangouts are simply another way to turn connections inside the Salt Strong Community into real-world friendships.

How Do You Find Meetups Near You?

Upcoming Meetups can be found right inside the Salt Strong Community, including a Meetups Near You section.

Head to the dedicated Meetups page, and you can also filter by distance, date, or Meetup type.

How Do You Create A Meetup?

We made this part EASY.

Select Host Meetup, choose your Meetup type, and add the important details like the date, time, location, and description.

You can move the map pin to show exactly where everyone should meet and add an image and any instructions members should know.

You can also:

• Make the Meetup public or private
• Limit the number of attendees
• Add a co-host to help manage it

Once everything looks good, publish it and you’re ready to go!

Mark walks through exactly how it works in the tutorial below:

Keeping Everyone On The Same Page

Once your Meetup is live, members can see the location, time, details, and who else is attending.

They can RSVP and communicate directly on the Meetup page.

Hosts can also send updates to members who have RSVP’d, making it easy to share reminders or last-minute changes without hunting everyone down individually.

More Than Just Another Event Calendar

Meetups are really about one thing:

Getting Salt Strong members together.

Maybe you find a new fishing buddy.

Maybe a group of members cleans up your local boat ramp.

Maybe you attend your first Chapter Meeting.

Or maybe you grab breakfast with a few anglers and make some great new friends.

You have the idea. Now you have a way to make it happen.

And if you don’t see one you want to join…

Create one! (Insiders Only)
