- By: Luke Simonds

It’s officially Slam Season—that time of year when inshore species are feeding hard, and your odds of landing an inshore slam are at their peak.
Depending on where you fish, the types of species that make up a slam can vary—but the strategy to catch all three in one trip starts with the right plan. In this LIVE Q&A, our coaches will break it all down.

i just heard high speed reel and i have found with trout they have paper lips and the big ones you must retrieve slow or they will get off so i have no idea my reel speed but i do not try getting anything in to fast.
luke i wish i had known you were in ozello. i started fishing in 2015 out of ft island trail park ramp and had more skunks than a catch. then i googled fishing ozello and saw you and from there salt strong. long story short i only fish out of the st martin river when i feel like going which usually launch about 3pm. i don’t look at what tide is except to decide where i want to look for fish due to places get real skinny at low. i would like to thank you if your ever back this way because you and the salt strong group took me from more skunk to get dinner is i want or just catch and release. i target trout mainly and pb is a little over 29.5 and still looking for that over 30 in the boat. again thank you and salt strong for showing me how to catch saltwater fish.
Looking forward to the May 24 meeting at legion hall.

Curious for an opinion, what type of line is best? Braided or mono

So from Tuesday to Saturday I’m staying in a house on mud River never been there before so going to be doing lots of pre planing if I wanted to get a slam there would I need to hit different depth of water
Going to be fishing with Wader Dave so I will be a sponge to get all his knowledge my goal is to get my slot snook and the a slot slam to even make it harder not going to be able to bring everything so what type of lures would you bring
I recently struggled to find a bite while kayak fishing near Cedar Key in very muddy (think chocolate milk) water with windy conditions. I was working the active mullet schools I could find around structure (1-3 feet deep near oyster bars and emergent grass) with the fat lipper, flea flicker, skinny lipper XL, 1/2 oz weedless gold spoon, and 4 inch mulligan on 3/16 oz weedless jig head with no luck. Should I have gone LOUDER i.e. spinnerbait or bladed jig head or QUIETER i.e. smaller profile and/or shrimp-style/ned/stick bait or should I have continued covering water with the other lures?
