love the dog, gets so jacked up on the fish coming in, reminds me of some dogs i used to duck hunt with up here in michigan. you would say "DUCKS" they would drop there heads, and just run their eyes up watching them lock into decoys., you would drop a few, and they would just stare at you til you gave them the "GO GET EM" happiest dogs ever!
Don't get to fish Florida to often but enjoy your vids, good info that can be used anywhere.. Dogs are good for your soul and taking him w/you is good for his! Tight Lines.
Luke, this is by far my favorite video you’ve done. Every step detailed, straightforward and so informative. This was as pure a fishing video I’ve seen. Great job.
You cast very accurately with the spinning reel. I have trouble with accuracy and need to practice more. Maybe you can do a video on tips for casting??
Great info and techniques. Question: Have you tried the weed less, bullet sinker in this senerio? In the lagoon I fish, the current is wind driven, opposite of what was in this video. In my kayak, should I travel down or up a cut like this one you were in? Otis ever fall in while you brought a fish in? He's a beautiful Lab..
Hey Luke. Great video! What is the thought process of using the popping cork vs free lining the shrimp? I'm guessing to keep the shrimp off the bottom. Does free lining shrimp (no split shot) sink too quickly to the bottom?
A small point of interest that makes a big difference and would like to have that ability. you are right handed and therefore reel with your left. But your ability to cast from left of your body, with accuracy, is awesome. Most like me have to cast from the right side of the body. Again, a small yet big detail makes you a well rounded fisherman.I’m gonna practice that all it is😊 thanks for the video
The lure featured in this video is my #1 favorite all round (www.saltstrong.com/articles/catching-inshore-fish-on-artificials/) because it can be effective in pretty much all water clarities and core depth zones. The other two would be situational based on the type of area that I'm fishing (depth, current, type of structure, etc.)
Just wanted to let you know what i do to keep the shrimp alive on those hot trips. I use frozen water bottles and stick them in the live well to keep the water colder and it makes the shrimp more lively as well.
Outstanding video! Very informative and well narrated. I especially enjoyed watching the popping cork/bobber as a reference point to your tutorial. Nicely done.
We saw you loose it OK. Looks like you buy your shrimp at the same place I do. The Baby Shrimp Place. Well it's good to see someone really fishing instead of just catching... Thaks for that. Dog is cracking me up. Love that he's so excited. Ha, there was a big boil behind you when you were unhooking that nice snapper. You had some really nice casts back in there. Great job fishing that cut.
I am very glad to see that you enjoyed this live shrimp fishing video and that Joe's anxiety video helped you out too. Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Tight Lines!
Great video, really enjoying the channel so far. I have a question thought, how do you choose a good spot to fish a new area in the backcountry if you havent been there before? I'm going to a new area which I'm not familiar with fishing wise and would like to have some ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Neil! To find good spots, I use online maps along with a structured approach to knowing what types of areas to seek out based on the season, tides, wind speed/direction, etc... all of which is taught in the online courses that everyone gets for free simply for joining the Insider Fishing Club: www.saltstrong.com/pricing/
Think the popping cork is inhibiting your hook sets. Popping corks are fine if that's part of the presentation, otherwise I would prefer a light weighted cigar shaped cork. I believe there's less resistance to the line movement.
We have multiple detailed spot dissections from all of those areas (and more) in our Insider Club platform, so I recommend giving it a shot if you're interested in catching more redfish, specks, and flounder. I'm planning to make a trip over that way this spring, so we'll be posting some public videos in RUclips from TX waters soon.
@@Saltstrong great fishing companion. Fairly new to salt water fishing and I've learned most of what I know now because of this channel. Great content, thanks!
No. I have been very careful to keep him out of trouble out there. Here's a link to see more videos with him in case you'd like to see more: www.saltstrong.com/article_categories/otis/
I wish I could say that he always stays in the boat... here's a trip where he was causing all sorts of trouble: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/clearwater-fishing-report/

You're a very good caster. I would have been paddling over to pull my hook from the mangroves every other cast.
If you could teach Otis to handle a rod and reel, you'd never go hungry. He has passion!
FACTS!
Otis makes my day 🤣!!! Thanks for another great video Luke and SaltStrong team! Live shrimp works the best this time of year.
Thanks for the video. You do a great job narrating.
Thank you!
Your casting accuracy is incredible.
Agreed !
I love how excited the dog gets when you catch a fish...lol
I don't blame you Otis, I love fishing too.🐾
Did anyone mention the big blow up to your left our right in the video at 13:27
If you continue to watch he catches the last keeper in that area
I caught my fish sheepshead at Atlantic City jetty this year. Made for a great video. First time fishing on the jetty and land a huge Sheepshead.
Now all of a sudden i feel like calling in sick so i can go fishing
Yes

Wow that was a fun video and Otis sure is a good fisher pup to.
I would like to know how you were working the line while letting it flow with current, was that open bail and quick reaction to hook the fish?
Great video Luke what type of tackle were you using as far as the rod and reel combination
Hey Otis 🐕
You too Luke 👋
Perfect first cast.
Great plan for fishing that cut! Beautiful day out there!
Thanks for your videos guys!
The best part is Otis! What a fun dog, he is having as much fun as you.
Glad to see that you enjoyed this video! Otis starts getting excited every time he hears the word "fishing".
@@Saltstrong Can't believe Otis didn't end up in the drink, lol
@@44tug Me too... he had a few close calls, but fortunately stayed dry that trip.
85 year old fisherman. ADVICE. Wear a life jacket. Know several folks drowned falling over . Why tempt fate? 🐻
The boat at the far end of the cut: "He's caught another fish... and ANOTHER... and... that's it. I'm going home!"
Luke, this is by far my favorite video you’ve done. Every step detailed, straightforward and so informative. This was as pure a fishing video I’ve seen.
Great job.

10/10 best content. Good fishing instruction AND Otis??
Everything is better with Otis!! Thanks for watching!
Hey bud, was that a size 1 in a circle hook? Or what size did you use on the poppin cork?
Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.
I love the dog being excited with the fish coming 😂😂
Otis is always excited to go fishing!
Thanks, I really love Otis's enthusiasm!!!!! 💘
Haha, your dog is a total trip. Keep bringing him!
What are the three best lures in your opinion for trout snook and reds
The lure featured in this video is my #1 favorite all round (www.saltstrong.com/articles/catching-inshore-fish-on-artificials/) because it can be effective in pretty much all water clarities and core depth zones. The other two would be situational based on the type of area that I'm fishing (depth, current, type of structure, etc.)
I like how your dog is right by your side.
Haha Otis LOVES snook! He really seems to know the difference.
I agree... he seems to go extra crazy when snook are on the line.
Loe how your dog knows when you caught something. I'm new to your channel. Does your dog go with you fishing often?
Just wanted to let you know what i do to keep the shrimp alive on those hot trips. I use frozen water bottles and stick them in the live well to keep the water colder and it makes the shrimp more lively as well.
Yes, that is a very smart way to keep bait much more lively on a hot summer day.
But remember to use saltwater for that, as the shrimp could die
The best thing I leaned from this is THAT’S A GOOD BOY. WHO’S A GOOD BOY?!?!!
Question, when using the bobber do you try to have the bait a certain distance below the surface or a certain distance off the bottom? Thanks
Every day is different. But the most feeding happens near the bottom so I try to get it as close to the bottom as possible without getting snagged.
It helps to know that I'm not the only one losing Snook near the boat.
How do you set up your line?
What size cork are you using and is it weighted or unweighted?
Shrimp is the sauce in our part of the gulf catches everything
Thanks for the nice comment!
Should do a video on your setup ! Would love to see what gear you fish with ! Thanks
Me too!
Outstanding video!
Very informative and well narrated. I especially enjoyed watching the popping cork/bobber as a reference point to your tutorial. Nicely done.
Thanks for the kind words Gary!
What is that pole you used to anchor yourself in place?
Can you share your rig setup?
the dog knows when he hooks a fish amazing
Great video thanks for sharing your time with your buddy.

Thank you for the live bait tips using 🦐
Awesome video so many tips 👍🔥🔥
I'm a crappie fisherman this helps because I use live bait.
👍👏
Also your brother helped me alot on one of his videos about *ANXIETY*
I am very glad to see that you enjoyed this live shrimp fishing video and that Joe's anxiety video helped you out too. Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Tight Lines!
Great video Luke! Shout out to Otis for riding the rail on the way out!
Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment Scot! Otis loves riding the rail... I can't get him to stand anywhere else:)
Salt Strong Thanks for the great videos, How old is Otis?I have a chocolate lab that has no chance of staying on the boat lol
didnt heard maybe. how deep is on that fishing spot?
Otis is the star of this show. :D
Don’t let Otis get that hook.
Exactly why I don’t bring my dog fishing anymore 😂😑
Yeah Otis needs a time-out! LOL!
Make sure you bring the dog or I won’t watch! Great video fun to watch and learn
Pa-POW! Good stuff, Luke
13:27 fish in the water 🤣 🤣 🤣
Did anyone else see that blow up at 13:25 to the right
Thanks for checking it out!
What kind of anchor is that ?
Salt Strong guys are great best how to for Florida

Good to see Otis... :-)
What size hooks were you using?
Size 1 or 1/0 hooks
Great video and Otis Strong!!!
Thanks Pablo!
Great video, I have always said alive is much better, its nice to see you did the comparison. Awesome
Your snapper look like our mangrove jack here in Australia
Yes, I have seen some Australian fishing videos where the mangrove jacks were caught and thought how similar they look to our mangrove snappers:)
Maggot,not waisted sorry, wasted is American for being drunk
Great fishing Vlog and location wish we had mangrove waters like these in Texas i am assuming u r in Florida waters
Think the popping cork is inhibiting your hook sets. Popping corks are fine if that's part of the presentation, otherwise I would prefer a light weighted cigar shaped cork. I believe there's less resistance to the line movement.
How many times have you hooked Otis? He's jumping at hooks and your not training him.
Where were you fishing.
How much cost for this boat?
Great tips !!
Thanks Rick!
Would like to see inshore Texas fishing in Galveston, Freeport, Matagorda, Corpus Christi & Port Mansfield.

Nice nursery slam lol
Thanks! The nursery shrimp are apparently great at catching nursery slams:)
Good stuff!💪🎣🐶
Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment Sean!
Think you’re gonna have to start leaving Otis home for his own safety lol great video keep up the good work man
Dogs can also get sunburn
With how many fish he catches, he’s probably only on the water for an hour 😅😭
@@danielstarr9037 if you had watched the video, he said he was out there 3 hours. 😂😂😂
Does Otis remind anyone else of Old Yeller.
True!
Does Otis like to sit on the dock of the bay?
He sure does!
He just wants a treat damn it!! lol love it
Great video.
Thanks Harley!
4 out of 5 I'd be casting into the trees!
Otitis loves fishing
He sure does!
Great video. To many concentrate on the big catches
Thanks!
Anyone see the fish jump 13:27
That a st croix rod?
It's a TFO rod. Here's a link to a review I did on it a while back: www.saltstrong.com/articles/temple-fork-outfitter-spinning-rod-review/
@@Saltstrong Thanks dude
How often does Otis get snagged
He has actually never had a hook in him... I'm always very careful when he's on board, and I do not use anything with treble hooks either.
@@Saltstrong great fishing companion. Fairly new to salt water fishing and I've learned most of what I know now because of this channel. Great content, thanks!
nice!
Thanks!
Odis wants to retrieve those fish so bad.
He sure did:)
Give Otis a rod-n-reel 👍 he can help.
Man, I wish I had somewhere with no current like that...
Have you ever hooked your dog while bringing the line in?
No. I have been very careful to keep him out of trouble out there. Here's a link to see more videos with him in case you'd like to see more: www.saltstrong.com/article_categories/otis/
The best
Bigger fish jumped as you were bringing in your second snapper.
I like Otis!
We love Otis!
Otis the dog hit the dog lotto.
That's what she said.
I wonder if I’m the only one who wish he would of made the dog get out of his way.
The most impressive thing on the video is Otis stays in the boat. I have goldens and all they do is jump in.
I wish I could say that he always stays in the boat... here's a trip where he was causing all sorts of trouble: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/clearwater-fishing-report/
