Tie Leader to Line
Did you know a fishing leader is very important to the success of the fisherman? It can make or break you when it comes to hooking on to the fish of your dreams. Ensuring you have a good leader line with strong knots is critical for inshore anglers who want to snag many local species such as snook, redfish, tarpon, etc. The fact of the matter is that many aren't educated on how to make a leader and that's why they're not catching fish. Whitney's is here for you! Come in for a free lesson today!
Read the Tides
You can cast a line and pray for the best all day long but knowing when and where to cast a line will significantly improve your chances of catching a fish. In order to determine when and where the best fishing is, it is helpful to use local tide charts, and in order to do that, you'll have to know how to use the information they present. Because the tides are constantly changing, it's easy to get confused. We'll help you learn how to read a tide table and how to apply the knowledge you get from doing so.
Pick the Right Fly
Picking the right fly can be a very scientific process! Should you use an immitator or an attractor? What's the right size, shape, movement or color for whatever fish you're looking to land? And, with more than 100,000 flies to choose from, many of which could be right for your fish, which is the best option? Although you won't know if it's the right one until you tie one on and cast your line, Whitney's can point you in the right direction. Come by to hear what Whitney has to say. You'll probobly hear a great story about a time he caught the worlds largest fish in Steamboat, CO if nothing else ; )
