How to fish saltwater
Every way to catch fish in salt, broken down: what it is, how to do it, the gear and knots it needs, and the species it puts on the deck.
From shore
Surf fishing
Casting from the beach into the wash and troughs where gamefish hunt bait pushed around by the surf. All you need is a stretch of sand and a rod built to reach past the breakers.

Pier and jetty fishing
Fishing from piers, jetties, and rock groins that extend into deeper water, giving shore anglers access to structure and current normally reserved for boats. It is one of the most productive ways to fish without leaving land.

From a boat
Inshore fishing
Targeting gamefish in the shallow, protected waters of bays, flats, marshes, and estuaries, usually in less than thirty feet of water. It is where structure, tide, and light tackle come together.

Offshore trolling
Pulling a spread of lures or rigged baits behind a moving boat across open water to cover ground and trigger reaction strikes from pelagic gamefish. It is the classic big water hunt for the biggest gamefish in the sea.

Kayak fishing
Fishing from a paddle or pedal kayak, a stealthy and affordable way to reach water that boats and shore anglers cannot. It gets you quietly into skinny flats, backwaters, and even the nearshore ocean.

Bottom fishing
Dropping bait to the seafloor over reefs, wrecks, and rocky structure to target the fish that live down there. It is a direct, effective way to put quality fish in the box.

Presentations & techniques
Jigging
Working a weighted lure with a rhythmic lift and drop to imitate wounded or fleeing bait, triggering reaction strikes throughout the water column. It is an active, hands on way to fish that keeps you dialed in.

Live bait fishing
Presenting a live baitfish, crab, or shrimp so it swims naturally and tempts gamefish that ignore artificials. Nothing looks and smells more real than the real thing.

Saltwater fly fishing
Casting weighted line and lightweight flies to sight fished gamefish on the flats and in the surf, one of the most demanding and rewarding ways to fish the salt. It is hunting with a fly rod.

Night fishing
Fishing after dark, when many gamefish feed most aggressively under cover of low light and reduced boat traffic. Cooler water and hungry fish make the night one of the most productive times to be out.
