Great video! Couldn’t agree more we take the grandkids out and adult friends and they don’t care one bit about what they’re catching just that it’s something.
Pat, you and all the coaches are an invaluable asset to the Salt Strong team. This video is an excellent presentation that emphasizes the fundamental aspects of fishing with oneself and family. The professionalism and passion for fishing evident in the video are truly exceptional. It astounds me how I consistently learn something new with the coaches and members with small details to advance techniques!

Sunlight reflecting to your phone you cannot read it is there a special thing to put on there
I haven’t seen anything. What I do is tuck the phone under my shirt and look at it through the neck hole. It looks silly but it works!
Thank you Pat! That’s funny, because that’s my go to rig when we’ve found the fish and I can’t get them to bite a plastic lure. I need to improve on that skill or lack of in my case! 😛
Sometimes you just have to give them what they want! It’s much easier to feed them than to fool them!
Thanks Pat…great refresher
Glad you liked it!
Sadly, My kids didn’t like fishing while they were growing up 🙁 I took them
Plenty of times and different places. The fight with a tight line just never stuck. My oldest will go fishing now but my youngest 2 could care less. I have videos of them catching giant uglys but it just didn’t seem to get em going.
At least you tried. I get it, fishing is not for everyone.
Solid info Pat. Last month my wife and I met up with some friends who hadn’t fished since they were kids. I used that rig with little chartreuse jigs. Everyone caught something and that made it fun. One caught an ugly toadfish, but it still made for some excitement and conversation. Just remember to pinch the tail off.
That’s what’s important Rex! Great job on making those memories!
Great tutorial Pat, should really help some folks get on some fish !!!
Hopefully it will George!
