Hey there, Joe Simonds here!
If you’ve ever felt like saltwater fishing is out of reach because of the cost, you’re not alone.
A lot of anglers think they need fancy gear, expensive boats, or a garage full of tackle just to get started. But here’s the truth—you don’t.
In our latest video, my brother Luke and I break down everything you actually need to start catching fish inshore. And guess what? It’s way more affordable than you might think!
What You’ll Learn in the Video
Start Fishing for Under $50
You don’t need a high-end rod and reel to start catching fish! A basic setup with live shrimp is more than enough to get you on the water and reeling in your first catch.
It can be easy to waste money on the wrong tackle. We did it for YEARS when transitioning from Bass Fishing to Saltwater Fishing. So to help you avoid those mistakes, here’s a few of the trusted essential items we recommend so you don’t overpay somewhere else…
