The Summer Bait Grind

Enjoy the easy fishing while it lasts, because once summer arrives, the bait gets tough. It happens every single year—but with the Super El Niño pushing ocean temperatures to absolute extremes, this season is going to be a completely different beast.

Along with the scorching heat, we are going to see extreme currents rip through our zones once the Gulf heats up.

I actually wasn’t planning on releasing this course. But after a flood of requests from anglers in our Grouper Course, I realized it was non-negotiable. They asked for it because they already know the hard truth: Bait fishing and presentation in the summer is a brutal, frustrating challenge.

Anyone can throw a cast net or jig a Sabiki in the spring when the bait is thick and dumb. But when that summer heat spikes, the bait vanishes as the tourists and boat traffic increases, it also becomes incredibly finicky. Combined with raging Gulf currents that blow out standard rigs, traditional patterns completely shut down.

This 8 week course (with Bonus QA) is your survival guide for the hot months ahead. I am going to break down the exact strategies, scouting playbooks, and heavy-current, sub-surface rigging adjustments you need to master the grind, outsmart the pressure, and stay locked into the bite when everyone else is blanking or begging for help in a public Facebook group from a part time “expert”. 

***IMPORTANT ABOUT EARLY BIRD AND PAYMENTS:

*This is two payment course. Meaning the price is for weeks 1-4 and then there will be a recurring payment for weeks 5-8 and the QA Bonus.

You have the option to cancel the 2nd payment and not continue with the course. 

You must request (via emailing support@goodkarmasportfishing.com) that cancelation 48 hours in advance of your billing. Neither Part 1 or Part 2 is refundable. If you choose to cancel the 2nd payment, the QA Bonus is not included.

Example- If you purchase with the Early Bird the first charge is $74.99 and then again $74.99.

We have run numerous intensives like this in the past. Depending on the timing of when you buy the course, you may be emailed directly to pay for the 2nd part in order to continue with the scheduled release or you can keep the recurring and receive the lessons when we receive payment. If you pay after the emailed request, the recurring payment will then be canceled.

Last day for the Early Bird is: Friday May 22nd. The price goes up Saturday May 23rd. We start Tuesday 5/26.

No exceptions to the Early Bird end date and that price locks you in for the 2nd payment.
