Hey guys brand new just completed my first lesson and the first module taught me quite a bit of stuff I was doing wrong!!!! Thank you for such great content
We’re so glad to see that you enjoyed this lesson. Thanks for making time to post the nice comment Luis.
I have a garmin quatix 7x solar, trying to get all the maps and nav I can get,south texas ,Freeport area, not real tech savy( hence the purchase)
Thanks for the videos, I have been off for a while due to work but looking forward to getting back fishing with my son. Just trying to figure out which size hooks work best for the slam shady lures, the “2.0’s” and the Prawns. If anyone can guide me that would be great.
The size depends on the hooks used… the 3/0 Helix hooks fit the 2.0 and Prawn Jr lures perfectly. If using jigheads, then go with the 2/0 size. Here’s a bundle that has both lures with their most popular rigging options at a discount in case helpful: https://fishstrong.com/products/inshore-slammer-lures-bundle
I am honestly blown away at the level of content and education. I love the detail and “why” you rig a live shrimp that way. The explanation of the contour lines. I am so glad to be apart of this community. Thank you guys for doing this.
Thanks so much for making time to post the nice comment Bryson. We are honored to have you in the Insider Club Family!
Great content. Very informative
I want information on boca grande passes . And Charlotte harbor
Hey Michael, many of our videos are filmed in that area because it’s one of my favorite zones of all to fish. The lessons you’ll see on this platform will absolutely work in that area. Which species are you most interested in catching?
This is awesome stuff! Looking forward to the rest of the lessons.
Haven’t rigged a shrimp like that before, but I’ll definitely try it out. I need to get J hooks– been using circle for a long time.
How do you rig the prawn jr and the football weedless jig head?
Each rigging product has a detailed tutorial about how to rig it in its respective product page. Here’s a link to the product page for this weedless football jighead (rigging tutorial starts at around the 3 min mark): https://fishstrong.com/collections/terminal-tackle-1/products/hoss-weedless-football-jighead
