E112- Salt Trippin'

In this episode of Southeastern Fly, we take you along on a saltwater run to Dauphin Island. What started as a quick hit-and-run turned into a day-and-a-half of lessons on packing light, listening to your guide, and making the most of limited shots in the Gulf. From tripletail to tarpon-style waiting games, we cover what makes salt trips unique and how to set yourself up for success.

Highlights of the Episode:

• Travel light—essentials only, let your guide supply the flies and tackle.
• Fishing with a buddy keeps things smooth, and borrowing rods beats hauling extras.
• Stand ready on the bow, avoid “leg lock,” and sway with the swell.
• Strip plenty of line off before the cast and your fishing partner should keep decks clear.
• Guides know the cadence—short, calm strips often out-fish starting the Briggs & Stratton retrieves.
• Saltwater fish are tough to find but often eager once spotted.
• Pivoting species and plans is part of the game; flexibility pays off.
