If you’re ready to catch more speckled trout and spend less time guessing, you’re in the right place.
In this week’s episode, I sat down with my brother Luke to dive deep into the best strategies for trout fishing—especially if you’re just getting started or looking to level up.

Here’s the deal:
Trout are one of the easiest fish to catch once you understand their behavior and where they like to hang out.
We didn’t just talk about “spots”… we talked about spot TYPES — the environments where trout thrive.
Think structure, current, grass, and ambush zones.
You’ll learn:
-
Why starting with trout is smart (especially for newer anglers)
-
How to find fish without GPS coordinates
-
What gear and lures (like the 2.0 in the Slam Shady color) actually work
-
Simple but deadly techniques (hint: lighter line = more bites)
-
Why diving birds and bait are your best indicators
-
How community support can completely change the game
“We caught 50 or 60 trout that day… just by dialing in the right zone.”
At the end of the day, fishing is about creating memories — and it’s a whole lot easier when you know what to look for, keep it simple, and surround yourself with like-minded anglers.
Watch (or listen in), take notes, and then get out there and catch some trout!

Thanks for the info. Can’t wait to see if it works for the Eastern shore of VA.
Thanks for the informative video. It is very much appreciated.
No comments, probably because after an update the podcast is in Spanish on my iPhone 8 Some of the other tips are also but some aren’t. ?? If I see a teenager walking by I will ask if they can fix this issue 😂😂for this 3/4 of a century old man
That’s wild! Are you seeing this issue on all podcasts and websites?
Some but not all. I just checked my IPad and that’s fine. No problem. Thanks for responding. I will check with some teenagers in my neighborhood they will fix it 😂 I am 75 years old so I’m still looking for the string that attaches to my cell phone. Thanks again
Thanks for your input. I just had to sign in again and the podcast is now in English ???
