I am not the Ultimate Fisherman... but I'm getting there! Join me as I try to conquer every species, technique, and bait in the expansive world of fishing.
Kayak Fishing a 180 Year Old Pond!
After being blocked off by a dam over 180 years ago, does the industrial mill pond on Autauga Creek still have fish in it?

What can I catch from the docks of Mobile Bay?

I'm back on Mobile Bay in Fairhope, AL, but without a kayak or boat I'm restricted to fishing from the dock. What can I catch in this shallow, muddy water?
Species Chasing on the Cahaba River

With over 130 species of fish in its waters, the Cahaba River was overdue for a visit. My first attempt at fishing this water shed took place near West Blockton in the heat of Alabama summer.
Which Catfish Bait is Better?
มุมมอง 3133 หลายเดือนก่อน
After landing my first batch of Mooneye, I could not wait to try and catch some catfish with it. But I wanted to see how it stood up against my favorite big catfish bait: Skipjack Herring. So I hit the Alabama River with both baits in tow to see which bait works better.

Shallow Creek Catfishing (Autauga Creek, Alabama)
มุมมอง 776ปีที่แล้ว
I've used worms and I've used lures, but now it's time to use cut bait in the Downtown Prattville stretch of Autauga Creek and see what lies beneath the dam.
Fishing at the Fairhope Pier (Mobile Bay, Alabama)

Multispecies Fishing and Wading Pine Creek (Prattville, Alabama)
มุมมอง 772ปีที่แล้ว
It's been two years since I last visited this portion of Pine Creek in Prattville, Alabama. I set out to explore the new spots of this sandy bottom system but got distracted by the motherload of species variety in a single hole.
Beaver Pond Fishing (Autauga County, AL)
มุมมอง 378ปีที่แล้ว
I got permission to fish a natural beaver pond on private land. This body of water isn't managed or even fished that often so I was very interested to see what was swimming in this clear water.

Stop whining. It's not that bad
That pin fish looks like fun if you're not careful!
Near that safety department, my friend got a pickrel bass and catfish on the rooster tail you were using
That's the species I want to catch on camera in Autauga creek! I've caught one before by the levee way before I started the channel, but I haven't managed to find one since putting the GoPro on my head!
You caught Nemo !!
Where is this bridge locate in Prattville.
It's on East Main Street. They've since put in a sidewalk and little walking bridge over the creek.
I was hoping they would put something in for kayaks but what they did is not very useful. Surprised to see a crappie there as well.
I agree it could be better. But I'm glad the pond is getting more attention from the city. For something so pivotal to downtown they haven't given it much attention. Hopefully this is the first of many changes to improve the pond overall.
@@theultimatefisherman yes, its very under developed. Myself I would move the law enforcement office and replace it with recreational facilities. Hopefully as you said they are just beginning.
You could not use your vehicle to pull that Kayak up that hill?
That would probably work but I don't know how the city feels about you driving past the parking area. You'd have to ramp up and over the old building foundation.
@theultimatefisherman Ahh, that makes sense. Well, dang, I was hoping to have found an easier solution for you.
Slowly retrieve a gulp shrimp on a 1/4 oz jighead on the bottom for flounder. They'll be around those pier pilings. Caught a bunch a few weeks ago on Dauphin Island in the bay.
I feel you almost every day pier fishing that’s what happens catfish stingrays and croaker and that’s it and sometimes I fish for weeks without a goody fish and I’ve been fishing for all my life
I love the bay fishing is pretty good!
Nice covered and long piers. You know some big fish come through there. Probably take a few trips to figure it out. High tide is probably the best. Enjoyed. 👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know this creek 👀👁👁
Nice video man the Cahaba river is run to fish. Just made a fly fishing video on it!
You have a very attractive voice 🥰
I agree. I can't go near water in the summer without wondering if there are any snakes around.
I was kayak fishing last week near the shoals just north of the Wetumpka park and saw a Gar twice the diameter of the one you caught. It was very huge. They eat good on the Coosa.
Let's go down hatch one day,
th-cam.com/video/4r94OOdfxrc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UZQW4ndCXXY5JtC6
Bear creek near Hamilton has some unique breams, if you get the chase
BTW, I noticed you haven't done any Ultimate Fishing shows in clanton or rockford. Plenty of creek monsters on hatchet
Hatchet is definitely on my list. Alabama alone has so many places I want to film at but I have to find the time first. I'm going to keep grinding though.
That’s the smallest sail cat I’ve ever seen. I live in Pike Road
Dude ive been waiting for a good sipsey kayak video. Where did you launch. Ive been planning a trip up there. I just cant seem to catch a good day where the dam isnt running
Riverside Fly Shop has a kayak only pay launch. It's open during the store's hours. They have a waiver you fill out online and you just pay on your way in. Eventually you'll find a day they aren't generating.
😮....caution....candy....to.....copperheads.
Do you have a pin for these spots?
hey I live in the smith lake area and I enjoy to watch youre videos. these videos are actually really good and won’t be surprised to see you’re channel to grow.
Nice video dude
Sam Sam Sam
Glad I found your channel, that's my home town and river, we catch 30plus lbs flatheads at the bluff and falls
Channel cats come up to feed. We used to set cane poles in the creek with a fiddle worm anywhere from 4 inches below the surface to almost out if the water. Worked real good. An old man showed me that when I was a boy. Alabama is my home as well. Great video
That hybrid probably got that big from eating the trout? Wonder how far up those hybrid travel up the sypsey?
That's a good question. The world landlocked stripe record is also from down the mulberry fork so maybe there is something to that. I've seen crappie and skipjack run up the sipsey in certain conditions but I don't know much on hybrid or striper movement.
@@theultimatefishermanyeah I I talked to some guys at the Huntsville orvis fly shop who actually fly fish for striper right underneath the Lewis Smith dam up there.
Heard the record hybrid stripe was caught from sypsey, probably more towards where sypsey meets and connects to mulberry
Off topic…I watched an earlier video from Boulder Dam. Is there a boat ramp below the dam? I don’t see anything close on Google maps.
As far as I know, the only way to get a boat below Bouldin is to put in at a place like Goldstar Park in Wetumpka and boat down the Coosa before turning back up the channel to the dam. That's a heck of a long ride but I've seen many boats over there and can't think of any other ramps. Maybe a private ramp exists but definitely no state run launch.
@@theultimatefisherman Roger that. Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll just keep hitting Mitchell Dam. Stripe were on fire then the shad disappeared on me. 🤷♂️
Nice video! Thinking of making the trip up from Panama city... what's a good time of year to catch stripers? Do I need any out of state permit to fish there? Thanks!!
Striper are heavily targeted in the colder months on main lakes but I've had decent luck under the dams when they try to spawn in the spring. I'm hoping to get a video together on that method but the recent rain hasn't cooperated. As for licensing Alabama has non-resident licenses you'll need for most of our water. If you go to any of the "county lakes" I believe the admission fee covers your licensing for the fishing session. I'd look up the Outdoor Alabama site to make sure.
That anchovy looks to be a striped anchovy Anchoa hepsetus
I basically had a toss up between the two species. I went with the Bay Anchovy because of the lower jaw length. I failed to get a good look at the anal fin location relative to the dorsal fin in that moment.
Where are those ponds if you don't mind me asking, i live near prattville and fish from a kayak and looking at new places
I'm definitely willing to share spots, but these ponds were on private land I had permission to fish.
@@theultimatefisherman I understand, do you know of any bass fishing spots on the alabama river from a kayak ? Also you should fish saugahatchee creek near tallassee
Cooters Pond and Swift Creek are the easiest answers but I won't promise easy success, especially on Cooters. You can get out into the river itself and work what cover you can find on the banks and depending how far you are willing to paddle you can find a few creeks to turn up into as well. There is a local kayak group called River Region Kayak Anglers that does bass tournaments and the Alabama River seems to always be the toughest events.
@@theultimatefisherman I have a motor on my kayak ,I can usually go about 7 miles
Just a little hint!! When your drag is going out and you keep reeling on a spinning reel all you are doing is twisting your line!!!!
It takes time you will learn with some time on the water!!
I'm from Colorado and I'll be visiting my sister down in Pell City in Janurary, I will definetly try to check this out! Trout fishing is my forte but I'll be looking for all kinds of species. I mostly fly fish, so targeting bass or anything else might be a little tricky this time of year. We'll see what I can end up gettin in the net. Thanks for the vid.
Good luck! Our winter is definitely not as cold as Colorado so it might be easier than you expect!
I'll definitely have to try this out sometime in the future when I go fishing and congratulations on catching a fish on a tomato hornworm
Beautiful river
Fished there sence the early 70 s. Bay wae much,mucy clearer. Used to catch pretty much any thing
Walker County Public Lake has Rainbows after Thanksgiving. Its closed now though due to hiring a new lake manager but will reopen in Feb at the normal opening date.
Came across your video tonight is very interesting watching it mostly with trout season opened up this Friday. Will be back at Madison County Lake. And actually we’re in your video we were sitting just on the other side, watching the guy in the pink shirt and all these crap and then getting in trouble I actually enjoyed watching you fish that day
the reason your catching the same species is that you are using the same tactics with the same fish present. Get into that fast water, and HUNT for the specific fish you want, and target them by sight fishing them.
SNORKEL THAT BIGGER RIVER SPOT! Dang, I need to go to Alabama
That dam could be some good snorkel fishing! Look IN the structure/rocks.
I've used snorkel fishing a couple times on the channel and definitely want to use it more for targeting specific species, but I'm still working out how to efficiently film underwater.
Neat video. Loved the shiners and darter.
Shoot I need to get down to South Florida and chase the infinite species y'all have down there!
Great video bud. We are from Walker County. Was down there two weeks ago. Took a walk on the pier and checked it out.
Pescaria muito bão amigo like mais que merecido 👍🇧🇷
You’re very handsome 😘
Just curious, were you South of Hwy 160 on the Locust Fork
It was to the north of 160.
