What's up everybody, it's Simon from LakeHub. We're out here on Corpus Christi Bay

We're getting away from the lake with our captain, Jesse Torres. He's our guide today. If you want to get away from the lake and you want to get out on the salt water
0:13
get some fresh salty air, man this is so great. It's like perfect weather today, a little breeze
0:20
We're having some fun catching redfish, sea trout. Jesse's got some great tips for moving from freshwater to saltwater
0:28
So two of the main things that are different is be patient and don't reel as much
0:33
A lot of freshwater guys like to reel, they're always on the go, they move their rods a lot
0:38
With us it's kind of simple. We do a lot of stationary fishing
0:42
You cast it, you let it sit, you work it, let it sit. Our hook sets are up an angle. A lot of freshwater guys put the rod down
0:50
they're trying to get the bass from jumping, whatever it may be. Our main thing is keep it tightened up and keep a fulcrum in the rod
0:56
Any kind of pressure you lose on the rod with these fish, whether it's a trout or a drum or a redfish
1:01
any kind of slack, any hesitation you're going to give them, they're gone. It's just how they are with their mouths
1:06
Too many guys want to cast and they work an area way too fast
1:10
That's one of the most common misconceptions about going from fresh to salt
1:14
You always want to be patient out here, work an area hard. As we saw earlier, you do one little minimal movement and we caught one
1:21
That's all it takes sometimes. That's probably the two main things we do that we see different here
1:25
I noticed a couple of times you had us sit, even though we weren't getting a bite
1:29
even though there wasn't anything, any action at all. Let's wait and see because you're saying that fish will cruise up and down these kind of sandy open areas
1:39
That's totally true. Whether it's a river ridge or a sand pocket, one cast can be the difference of a day
1:48
Within five minutes they can move in and you're casting somewhere else, you missed a window
1:52
That's why we stay patient around here. Those are some great tips, man. I really appreciate it
1:56
We're having a great day out here on the water. If you like freshwater fishing and you want to get out on the salt, come on down
2:02
It's a great time. We'll catch you next time
