Capt. Mike's Inshore Playbook ABOUT THIS PLAYBOOK

I love the simplicity playbooks bring I invite you to check out my own personal playbook that serves as my “recipe book” of sorts, letting me know what gear to have in my “pantry” and what lures to bring out to “cook with" But as importantly, a good playbook establishes a fast filter to process information quickly when on scene and low on sleep…

This playbook breaks down fishing by:

Outfits: Light enough to enjoy, heavy enough to land fish responsibly.

Lures: The Hogy System AKA "The Mesh Crate System" :)

Approaches: Simple & easy to execute approaches proven for decades by locale captains.

Techniques: Fast and Slow. Top and Deep. We hit all the spots!

You'll find that these are the same chapters we employ in every episode we film for Salty Cape As we all know, there is more than a few ways to “skin a catfish” The playbooks we publish here are “my” versions of how to “do it” on the water Ask ten lifelong anglers you might get ten entirely different playbooks The important thing is to find “your” playbook that works for you I certainly hope mine helps you catch a few more fish

Fish Smart. Fish Simple. ...and enjoy!

-Capt. Mike

Golf Bag Approach:

"Obviously you're not a golfer " I do like the golf analogy here. The crate based system reminds me a little of golf in the sense that when a golfer leaves the house in the morning, it's just one bag to grab with minimal thought on gear You know what's in there Your focus is on the game #simplicity
