Fishing School
Finding Fish [90/10]
Welcome to the Intermediate Level module of the Insider Club Curriculum!
These lessons will help you go from an Intermediate skill level all the way up to one of the more advanced anglers in your area as quickly as possible.
And please know that strategies you’ll see apply to you regardless if you’re fishing by foot, kayak, or boat.
Let’s get started with the most important lesson of all… Finding The Fish!
Note: Make sure to watch to the end because you’ll see some tricks for finding great spots from online maps even in areas with very murky water.

Does the smart fishing work in Jamaica?
Great video, but do you have any advice or special settings or suggestions for those of us that live in areas of murky creeks and can’t see any level changes on the maps?
For murky water zones, I recommend the oyster layer along with the 1ft contour layer. Note: If you are unable to see the contour lines, there’s a small button on that layer that you can use to customize the color of the lines so they stand out better against the map’s water color.
Wow you even used and example of my actuall fishing spot I did not hit the level changes but was on the oyster beds in that creek by mayport
How’d you do?
I usually kayak fish leaving out of oak harbor boat ramp and typically have pretty good luck but I’ve always wanted to launch at the little jetties and fish chicopit bay but worried I might get stuck at low tide as it’s always dry at low and I’ve never seen kayakers in there Lol.
Well put together video.Valuable info for people needing help recognizing key spots to fish.
Very grateful for the knowledge and insights being taught here and shout out to the “Diamonds” brothers for the brain child that is now the Smart Fishing Spots app. It is such a comprehensive platform. Looking forward to graduating soon and putting my family on some fish on a more regular basis!
The app is a fantastic tool and it has helped me to locate so many good spots in the PCB area. However I can’t seem to get the app to show smart spots up in the bayous and creeks as it shows in the areas you demonstrated in the video around Tampa Bay. I know there are good areas up in the shallow water, docks, sea grass, moving water, holes, but for my area smart spots only shows the spots in the bays and just inside the mouth of bayous. Is this something that hasn’t been added yet for my area?
Are there any bayous or creeks in particular that you are interested in? I’ll use your feedback to prioritize the next zone we focus on.
great data, I am still unable to use the app since I am not yet in the US.. in the meantime, I will test here in BR.
Thanks for all the great info. I am new to being a member and this really helps me get the most out of the program. I can’t wait to visit my daughter in Jacksonville and use this to catch some fish!
great stuff Luke. TY. Tight Lines
