3 Saltwater Fishing Beliefs I Had For Years That Were Wrong [PODCAST]

Let’s be real: we’ve all been there. Standing on the bow, rod in hand, thinking, “What am I doing wrong?” For years, we chased our tails believing a bunch of saltwater fishing myths that—spoiler alert—weren’t helping us catch fish. If anything, they were making it harder.

In our latest podcast, we’re talking about three beliefs we swore were true but ended up being completely off the mark. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill “fishing tips” you’ve seen a hundred times. These are lessons learned the hard way—years of frustration, wasted money, and yes, even a few bruised egos.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll be covering:

  1. Are Saltwater Fish Smarter Than Freshwater Fish?
    Think saltwater fish are cunning masterminds? Think again. We’re diving into why this myth had us spinning our reels (literally) for years.
  2. The Live Bait Debate
    Live bait seems like the ultimate cheat code, but is it really? Find out why relying on live bait might be holding you back more than you think.
  3. Tackle Myths: Bigger Isn’t Always Better
    Do you really need the heaviest rod, reel, and line to catch trophy fish? We’ll show you why going lighter might be your best move yet.

This isn’t just about debunking myths—it’s about making your life easier on the water. We’re breaking down the “why” behind these misconceptions and giving you a roadmap to turn those fishing struggles into victories.
