FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!
FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.

While Jordan’s tip helped me understand the fish at the time it was impossible to realize the impact that the Pro MLF tournament the previous week had on the fish. I will continue to follow Jordan.

For $65 I was expecting more information. Jerkbait/lure colors, cadence/technique, time of day, ect. Cool idea and happy to pay for your expertise/hours on the water (I’m a weekend warrior at best) but certainly didn’t get my $65 worth. Update - Jordan very responsive to the review and has been giving excellent updates.
Response from guide
Hi Paul, I use a variety of different jerkbaits, ( Megabass 110, lucky craft pointer 78s, and even x raps). I did include the patterns that are hot for me as well. Also as far as time of day went, I had success throughout the day. As the day goes on my retrieve changes. It is hard to type and explain every single detail (hope you understand). Best of luck to you!

I won’t be using this tip until 5/28. Waypoints are ok, but actual coordinates would be worth the price.
Response from guide
Hi Marc, the waypoints I provided were very precise. I did go back into the tip and placed them even closer for you. I am new to FishTips as well, so im not sure if you can see the latitude and longitude coordinates, if you cannot please feel free to contact me personally and I will get you hooked up! Best of luck on your trip!
