In The Spread Staff

In The Spread Staff is the house byline for instructional content produced by the In The Spread team. It brings together the field knowledge of the professional captains, mates, and guides across the platform, organized and delivered by the people who produce it. Founded by Seth Horne, In The Spread teaches fishing the way it is actually learned, from working professionals, in specific detail. Content under this byline spans offshore, inshore, and freshwater fishing, along with the tackle, rigging, and boat-handling skills that support it.

In The Spread Staff is the house byline for instructional content produced by the In The Spread team. Some of what you learn here comes from a single named captain sharing a lifetime on one piece of water. Other lessons are built by the team from the deep well of knowledge across the platform, drawing on the field experience of the professional captains, mates, and guides who make In The Spread what it is. When you see this byline, you are getting that collective expertise, organized and delivered by the people who produce the platform.

In The Spread was founded by Seth Horne, who has fished blue water from Madeira to Hawaii and Costa Rica to the Indian Ocean, on the belief that real fishing knowledge should be taught the way it is actually learned: from working professionals, on the water, in specific detail. That standard runs through everything published under this byline. The goal is never generic coverage of a topic. It is the specific, field-tested decision making that puts fish in the boat, the species, the place, the technique, and the season, explained by people who do it for a living.

The content behind this byline spans the full range of the platform, from offshore pursuits like blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, and swordfish to inshore and nearshore targets like snook, redfish, tarpon, and seatrout, along with freshwater species and the tackle, rigging, and boat-handling skills that tie it all together. Every piece is built to teach why a technique works, when to use it, and how to adjust it to conditions, not just to show a fish being caught.

If you want to learn to fish like the professionals, this is one of the places that knowledge lives. In The Spread Staff exists to make sure it is captured, organized, and taught well.
