⛄️ 🦈 A Message to All Visiting Anglers This Winter Season 🦈 ❄️

Important to Understand: Whether it’s your first day shark fishing or your tenth year in the game, you represent the shark fishing community to the public the moment you step on the beach. How we carry ourselves this winter season will set the tone for how the public views our sport. Let’s make it a good one.

1. Keep a Clean, Presentable Camp

Your setup is the first thing people see. A camp with bait thrown around, trash blowing everywhere, rods tipped over, and chairs scattered sends the wrong message to everyone walking by.
A clean, organized camp does the opposite — it shows professionalism, knowledge, and respect. It makes beachgoers say, “Those shark fishermen know what they’re doing, and they’re fine being on our beach.”
(And it is time to care what other think about lbsf)

2. Leave It Better Than You Found It

It sounds obvious, but history has proven it needs repeating.
In past winters, crews have left behind southern rays in the dunes, piles of bait, broken chairs, beer cans, and all kinds of trash.
This cannot happen.
Before you leave, pick up everything — even things that weren’t yours. Your name, your crew, and our entire community are represented in what we leave behind.

3. Maintain Distance Between Camps

We all know weekends can get crowded, especially when the bite is good.
Camps should be spaced at least 1,000 yards apart — a little over half a mile.
This isn’t just about avoiding crossed lines during drops. The cool sharks will often kite way down the beach, and nothing creates tension faster than losing the fish you came for because camps were too close.
Give each crew the room they need. And work together if things happen. (Fights on the beach also make LBSF look trashy)

4. Proper Gear, Proper Fight Times, Proper Care

As more and more “bucket list” sharks get caught, these moments will shape the future of land-based shark fishing.
Proper gear and controlled fight times are everything.
Tail wraps happen — we all know that — but excessive fight times and underpowered gear are preventable and can turn the fish of your dreams into a disaster for both you and our entire sport.
Respect these sharks. Handle them correctly. Give them the best chance at a strong release.

5. Be Respectful, Responsible, and Accountable

Every crew has their own style, their own setup, and their own vibe. That’s what makes LBSF awesome.
But there’s one thing we should all agree on:
We do not tolerate killing protected sharks, trashing beaches, or leaving bait and garbage behind.
Hold yourself — and each other — to a higher standard.

From the Coastal Worldwide crew to yours:

Have a great winter shark fishing season.
Be safe, be smart, be respectful, and look out for one another. The future of our sport depends on how we show up right now.

This isn’t good! Your help is needed

𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓: 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 — 𝐖𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩!

FWC quietly removed ONLINE access to 3-day & 7-day non-resident fishing licenses.
Visitors now have to hunt down rare in-person vendors or stand in line at a county tax office.

Vacationers are canceling fishing trips, guides are losing business, and families who WANT to fish legally can’t.

👉 Scan the QR below to learn what happened and how you can help fix it.
It takes 20 seconds and makes a HUGE impact.

📌 Help us tell FWC to restore online access to short-term fishing licenses.
📌 Support Florida tourism.
📌 Support small coastal guides like Smitty’s Surf Fishing.

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires! New intro reel for 2026 season featuring some of our previous guests on the show!

I know you've missed hearing that theme song. Don't worry....bait check drag will be back too

11/20/2025

That's right folks! It's coming back. Microphone starts getting back in the groove tomorrow with my first interview. I have others in the notebook that I am going to be following up with this weekend to get scheduled. Come January 2026, episodes will start streaming again.

It has been too long and I have missed this. Very excited to bring you the next season of the show. More to come!

2022....this post...... and I STILL find my Salty’s Pompano Rigs sticker at my new house. His shirts have found a way into a daily routine for me as it is hands down one of the most comfortable ones I own. It has become the nighttime/sleep shirt. This might get weird now.... If you haven't picked one up from him, a set of his rigs, or his world famous mug stickers, you absolutely should.

Salty’s Pompano Rigs can see your fish with these stickers. Especially when you put him on your cooler. Since he can see and we can’t, drop your favorite catch photo in the comments.

You can get these awesome stickers from Salty as well as some rigs! Hit him up and order.
