Who is this free fishing course for?
If you’re not catching fish when everyone else is, it could be because you’re not using the knowledge and techniques taught in the video above.
I’ve spent a good deal of time catching speckled trout across Louisiana’s coast, and there’s something I’ve seen over the years that I find shocking: most people get on speckled trout but don’t catch them.
This is especially the case in deeper water, but also when I see them fishing shallow. They just screw it up.
But what are they screwing up? Well, there’s two things in particular and that’s what this video reveals! Watch and see if you’ve done one of these two things and, if so, then you’ll see how to fix them.
Who is the guy in the video above?
First, let me introduce myself: My name is Devin. I’m a former fishing guide and today I make my living teaching people how to fish Louisiana’s coast for speckled trout and redfish in my membership, LAFB Elite.
If you’d like to learn more about me then consider visiting my About page and, if you’d like to learn more about my courses and community, then consider watching this video.
Moving on: What you are watching here is a free fishing course that was once hosted in LAFB Elite — where it was called Elements of Effective Fishing — but it has been updated and formatted for public viewing here on my blog and on YouTube.
I just think those two are probably better places for this thing to benefit as many anglers as possible.
So, with that out of the way, let’s get back to those two mistakes: What are they, and how do they keep people from catching speckled trout, even when they’re casting to them?
Mistake #1 -No Good Presentations
The first mistake is not giving a good presentation to the fish. If the fish cannot see your lure, they cannot bite it. It’s that simple.
This basic graphic details what I mean. The angler is casting to the fish, but his lure is getting swept back by the current.
The obvious problem is that he’s not catching the fish, but the next problem is that he’s not sure if there’s even fish there to begin with.
He could leave for the next fishing spot without ever knowing that he was on speckled trout in the first place! That would be a disaster!
Mistake #2 - Not Covering Water
The second mistake is not covering water. Many people trying to catch specks and reds simply spend too much time in one, two or three spots and never find the mother lode of fish.
These sticking points and more are what this free fishing course addresses. If you can watch the above video all the way through, then you will come out the other side a better inshore angler!
If you have any questions or something to add, then please use the comments section below. It’s great when people take time to comment on my website.
Thank you for taking this free fishing course. I hope it helps you catch speckled trout and redfish on your next fishing trip, and that you see the value in joining my membership. We’d love to have you!
These Video Lessons Are Easy To Watch
Devin's courses are easy to watch, and the delivery of each point in his lessons come naturally.
No one has a course like Inshore Fishing 101 that is more complete when it comes to speckled trout and redfish here in the state of Louisiana.

Captain Devin knows his stuff!
I fished largemouth bass in Arizona’s Salt River reservoirs (Saguaro, Canyon, and Apache Lakes) for years, and then moved back to Louisiana after decades of being away.
I wondered if all that bass knowledge and skill would be useful here in saltwater. Devin has showed me how incredibly useful it is! I don’t regret for one microsecond the money I spend on his membership, LAFB Elite.

Taking Me To The Next Level
I'm a recent transplant from north Louisiana, and most of inshore fishing is brand new to me. I bought a boat last year and made a vow to learn as much as I can about the marsh, and feel like I've done just that!
I've bass fished a good bit so I have some basic knowledge and have been able to catch fish every time I've gone, just not numbers. I feel that this is taking me to the next level.
Time to catch a limit!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Always love your informative video’s!
Thank you, Jason. I appreciate you! I strongly recommend starting with Inshore Fishing 101. It’s a lot, but worth the effort.
After that, be sure to check out the Community for the latest fishing reports, and be sure to give us a heads up when planning your next fishing trip. Chances are we can give you some good intel on fishing spots and safe routes so you have a safe and productive trip. If you’ve completed 101 then you’ll know the lingo we use.

Holy smokes this is packed full of great information. You are a great teacher. I’ve watched all your videos and this one has convinced me to join LAFB Elite. Thank you for taking the time to help others become better anglers. I also really appreciate your thoughts and ideas on conservation.
