fishcast Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Curios if anyone does any "do it yourself" saltwater fishing? years ago i would have thought it much more difficult, and require much different gear than i'm used to using up north in freshwater. However, this March will be my 7th year going to the Keys on a "DIY" trip. I love the adventure and learning curve in it, but i think most experience anglers would have much much better results than they would ever imagine if they just tried it (even their first time trying), and if they were open to catching various species and not just set on a certain fish... The first day i ever fished on my own in the salt, me and my friends caught multiple cuda over 36", multiple sharks, had a big tarpon follow the fly, and saw a 14' hammer. Truly incredible experiences that are very affordable and very do able! Here's a video highlighting some shark, tarpon, cuda, jack focused fishing from last years trip in March that i do with college friends every year. We do it all out of canoes pretty much, and use primarily freshwater gear. The whole trips main expenses are roughly 300 bucks per person (not including what people decide to spend on tackle). Its very affordable, and ridiculously fun! I wouldn't recommend getting as close and personal with the shark as we do... but otherwise i'd encourage anyone to try on a saltwater trip on there own! here is the video...
