Steve, you are incredible, brother. While everything in our World is coming unglued, you have a Channel with informative, helpful, and entertaining footage. You are one darn great Ambassador for Alabama. So, let me jump in and say THANK YOU. To the folks who have never visited our Coast......well you need to! Y'all have to put in some fishing time when there.
Bro your Mama was the star of the show and she was not having those shark eat her fish!! Really nice video of you and your Mom having fun! Glad I found this video! Keep Mom fishing Bro!
Let me beging by saying as a new angler myself, I very much appreciate the detail breakdown of your actions and how descriptive you are. It is an instant sub for me. I look forward on leaning about his new hobby from you. Great video for a beginner. Very much appreciated. Can't wait to follow up and get the same fish with your instructions. Love it.
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos and all the info I got from you recently. I stopped at a local bait shop and bought a few of your rigs. I caught my first pompano with it and I’m getting my limit every day now. I’m staying with my wife and daughter near Gulf shores for the next couple weeks. We’re from Michigan and it was so awesome to get some intel from your content and within a few days I’m down here getting it done! Thanks again brother. Tight lines as always.
Your channel is absolutely awesome. I come down twice a year from Missouri and always want to fish the pier. Unfortunately I don’t know the first thing about saltwater fishing, your channel is helping to make me more confident in giving it a try when I am down there in October.
Dude.. just found and subscribed to your channel. It's awesome I can't quit watching your videos. I love that your mom fishes with you. I wish my parents were still alive so I could still fish with them. Keep the videos coming my friend.
This is awesome! Gulf State Park is a gem in every way. Biking, fishing, kayaking, walking, and camping. I have not seen the sharks act like that but have heard of them doing it. Great catch for both you and you mom!
Great video!! that kinda had me on the edge of my seat when your mom got hooked up and was trying to get that Spanish in. I had to keep from waking people up by screaming reel!!!!!! 🤣
Love watching you and your momma fish! I love fishing with my 16 year old son. We compete who can catch the biggest bass. Here in Idaho where we live we have limited species to catch. 😊
Got to visit and fish at that pier a few days ago. It was my first time fishing from a saltwater pier. Stayed for 4 hours and caught two stingrays and a 13 inch pompano (as well as some small croaker and trash fish). Really beautiful place.
I use the same slip sinker rig I put a small crimp on split shot right at the swivel between the sinker to keep the sinker from rubbing the knot Gotta love them sheepshead. Excellent eating
Thanks for the efforts on your video. Watch at least one a week. I'm heading to Dauphin Island next week and can't wait to fish! Just visited the Sord website and bought a knife. Go Army!!!!
Thank you for making these educated videos. I'm learning quite a bit from your teaching and taking the time to explain. Those were nice Spanish mackerel.
Steve I want to thank you for the break down of all your lines and tackle I appreciate that part of your videos. Also I want to tell you the education on how you are cleaning this fish is much appreciated too. I would like to see exactly the proper process to bleed out the fish so it can done right if you would show that at some point that would be greatly appreciated . Quick question before I end. Why are the sharks so protected if their population needs thinned out some? Is it a safety issue for people catching them from the park’s perspective or is it just Alabama law to help conserve the population?
Thanks for the kind comment, Alabama allows shark fishing, it's just the Alabama State Park System that does not. I'm not for sure what their exact reason for preventing it is. (maybe because they're dangerous? but so is a lot of marine life.). No clue!
@@BamaSaltwater DCNR is really weird about their rules regarding shore based shark fishing. they state that it's unlawful to fish for sharks from shore if it presents a danger to swimmers. which is really up to interpretation for the CEO at that point. and the parks are a popular tourist spot so it probably has something to do with that. on the park's side of the story i think they state that they're some kind of shark conservation sanctuary some people seem to think that you flat out aren't allowed to shore fish for sharks in AL which doesn't seem to be true. but man i can really see where they think that, i wish the laws regarding it weren't so vague.
Darn sharks! But they live there to. Some beautiful Spanish. Great job fighting the fish and keeping away from the sharks. Great job mom!! Always enjoy your videos and the info you share. Thanks
You do a great job of educating and entertaining. Thank you for your service and best wishes for continuing growth. I'm going to be down there in mid-September and this is full of useful information.
Excellent content as Always by th way. Momma &me gonna be at West Pensacola gulf shores KOA campground July 28 through August 3. No Boat Access 😤 just need info on backroad & canal bridges & try to get what We can
Never seen a net used like that off a pier. Very new at saltwater fishing, yeah like never. Anyway videos like yours are very helpful and informative. Gonna go out on a charter here in Connecticut this summer to get some tips. Have a buddy who has a boat we take out on the sound. He doesn’t fish so I’ll do the charter thing, and videos like yours to learn more so I can do it on my own on my buddies boat. Thanks for the great videos.
Good trip for both of you-enjoyed. I stopped going to the piers for fishing, and if I were still going I wouldn't here in PCB mid-April through early July. I've seen as many as 25-30 runners abusing everyone else on the pier-and when I had to put one on the deck I said no more. That was a good crowd there, would be an enjoyable outing. Appreciate the pointer on the black dorsal fin-hadn't learned that. Caught a huge spanish the other day but I talked myself into maybe it was a juvenile king and I let it swim away. Did have the black so it means I released my PB.
The Shimano XG series is a fantastic reel, I definitely recommend all sizes, I run my 1500 for fluke, seabass, striped bass, and blackfish. I also run my 3000 for Bull Mahi. The reels are great, and I have never had a problem. You can even run them up on heavier catches. I also run my 1500 on King Mackeral. Definitely compare those reels to Van Staal's
Thanks for the video and it was very informative and well presented. Just a tip is to add a bead in front of that egg sinker to prevent it from wearing away the knot when the egg sinker slides into it. Thanks again
I went on a charter off Cape York here in Oz last week and had the same problem with sharks. I did catch a really nice Spanish at th end of the day though. Very exciting fish to catch, for sure !!
My friend and I had bought some of those fluorescent tube things that go on the arms of sunglasses at Walmart and cut them into small pieces then used it with a treble hook and the spanish loved it.
First time I've seen a Spanish mackerel. Bonnie fish. Had you're work cut out with the 'swimming tax man'. Great advice included in the coverage. All good stuff thanks.
Hello Bama saltwater, I love watching your channel and your videos. I have recently Incorporated some of your techniques of fishing, but I especially like this video here. Because I work for RTIC myself, and I seen you had one of our coolers. So with that being said I want to welcome you to #teamRTIC. I have been planning a trip to come down at the Alabama to do some fishing where are you be fishing at with hopes of running into you, and doing some fishing with you. Keep up with your videos, and tight lines.
I know there’s the peir to fish. Can u show us some others places we can pier fish around gulf shores. O and have u heard of the fresh water lake in the park?
@@BamaSaltwater Hey listen man we run a fishing camp up North during the Summer if you ever want to do a wicked pike or walleye tour I can hook you up!
What rod and reel combo would you recommend for a combination of surf and bay fishing? Been looking at the avid inshore 7ft medium heavy or the 7ft 6inch medium to medium heavy paired with a stradic 5000.
I agree, his and Max's are the best. We still use Max's Recipe often. And then Cher's Fried Spanish is amazing as well. I'll usually give some Spanish to Lou.

That was totally awesome, your Mom's response to those sharks, classic! Just started watching your channel, good stuff.
This pier was my childhood and it's so nice to see videos with it.
I love Mr. Lee cheering you on in the background, great guy
This is awesome! Gulf State Park is a gem in every way. Biking, fishing, kayaking, walking, and camping.
I have not seen the sharks act like that but have heard of them doing it. Great catch for both you and you mom!
Awesome video. I had a good laugh watching your mom getting excited fishing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You motivated me to get out and go fishing. Hit the local pier and had a blast! Thanks and tight lines!
I like your Mom. She gets excited like I do when I catch something.
She loves it !
Great video!! that kinda had me on the edge of my seat when your mom got hooked up and was trying to get that Spanish in. I had to keep from waking people up by screaming reel!!!!!! 🤣
It's funny how you can just feel the energy from the water when those sharks start kicking it up and making a ruckus haha! Thanks for watching
Mom was reeling like crazy!!!!...it was fun to watch and hear🥰🥰🥰😄😄😄😄😄😊🦀
ikr !! Haha, only thing you can do in that situation lol. Thank ya!!
Love watching you and your momma fish! I love fishing with my 16 year old son. We compete who can catch the biggest bass. Here in Idaho where we live we have limited species to catch. 😊

@@BamaSaltwater sharks suck and game wardens make them sick more. 🖕 Wardens

Tanks for your time and your videos
My pleasure! Glad you enjoy them
LOL I love how your mom taunts the shark
IKR, she did well haha

Nice Spanish! Looks like a lot of fun. The Shark problem at the pier is crazy! Wish they would do something about it. Enjoyed the video, keep it up!
Thank you, they were on fire. Appreciate ya commenting.
ever since I found this channel I love watching the pier videos. keep up the good work man
Thank you!
Just received my pompano rigs ! Awesome rigs. Thanks so much for the quick service my brother.
Good deal! Best of luck
I use the same slip sinker rig
I put a small crimp on split shot
right at the swivel between the
sinker to keep the sinker from
rubbing the knot
Gotta love them sheepshead.
Excellent eating
We have similar trouble here in Maine with Harbor Seals. Got to get your mackerel in fast!
Thanks for the efforts on your video. Watch at least one a week. I'm heading to Dauphin Island next week and can't wait to fish! Just visited the Sord website and bought a knife. Go Army!!!!
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the videos. You'll like the knife. Best of luck, hope you can get a few on the fillet table soon.
I need to hop next door & try that pier! Thanks for the tip about no shark fishing! Would love a video on properly bleeding a fish too!
So glad to see your subscriber count in continuing to increase. I check TH-cam every day to see if you've posted anything.
I appreciate the support and viewership !
New subscriber right here! Definitely love your channel. Greetings from Miami, Florida
Thanks Bama - can’t be there so it’s a “fix” while working.
Hope I don’t miss the entire spring bite
Woohoo!
You gotta love Gulf Shores Al.
Thanks for the equipment run down. Freshwater guy. Appreciate you

Any time! Thanks for watching
Outstanding catches! I'd hate to be in constant competition with those sharks though...like a bunch of bullies stealing your lunch money. 😂
Good fishing trip, thanks 😊 for all the info, enjoyed!!
Glad things are going good for you. I came across your channel on the giveaway video before Hurricane Sally. Been a subscriber ever since.

Great video. Your mom is awesome for fishing with you and some times out fishes you. Keep it up 👍
We love a good pier video!!! 🎣
Thanks Steve for another great video. I really enjoyed watching you fish with them Spanish mackers and fighting off the sharks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the video and it was very informative and well presented. Just a tip is to add a bead in front of that egg sinker to prevent it from wearing away the knot when the egg sinker slides into it. Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip. I do when I'm using larger setups, but I retie so often I have never had the issue! Tight lines.
Can you lower the net down ready, and tie the end to the pier rails.?
Very informational . I miss that pier fishing. Some days can be 0, love it.
gotta love state owned piers. We got a few up here in NC mainly sound side. man i need to get on a pier next weekend!
another good brother,good vid with great info.its good to see ya fishin with ya mom..godbless!
Going to spend some time pier fishing next weekend, hope to get similar results!
Good luck!

A white bucktail jig is the lure I use almost all the time. It catches everything.
My favorite fishing channel right here
Love it! Thank you
You have a cool mom bro, i love when im fishing with my family too
That was cool can’t wait for the peir to open back up never been peir fishing.
Dude you and your videos are awesome. God bless you for sharing with all of us.
I appreciate it!
If you ever have trouble with the egg sinker beating up the knot above the swivel put a bead between the sinker and the swivel
This is awesome man shoot were thinking of relocating to Florida wish I knew how the masonry was down that way I'd might relocate my business
First time I've seen a Spanish mackerel. Bonnie fish. Had you're work cut out with the 'swimming tax man'. Great advice included in the coverage. All good stuff thanks.

Hey I watch your videos all the time and I am staying right at the Pair
The basket and rope is a pretty neat setup :) And that was a pretty smart shark lol
keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Are they ever going to finish fixing the pier? Love that place gate seeing it half done
🎉TVI glad i watched this episode again...i forgot how crazy and panicky mom got trying to beat the sharks...it was hysterical 🥰😄😄😄😄🦀
That lady was super excited! Don't blame her
Haha Mom loves fishing
Love Bama Saltwater!!!!
Appreciate the kind comment!
@@BamaSaltwater Hey listen man we run a fishing camp up North during the Summer if you ever want to do a wicked pike or walleye tour I can hook you up!
What day was this? I haven’t seen the water that calm in the last few weekends I’ve been down?
Literally 2 days before posting the video! This past week was beautiful
Great stuff thanks love fishing anytime anywhere
How do you like that rod and reel? I’ve been thinking about picking one up.
I thoroughly enjoy using them
This was a really fun video!!
Dude! Awesome action and awesome footage! I loved seeing the shark chasing the catch.
What's the fishing like at the pavilion up from the pier?
GREAT Spanish mackerels: wonderful fighting ( when sharks are not around ) and excellent eating. Cheers!
Thanks for the tips!
Anytime! Thanks for commenting
What rod and reel combo would you recommend for a combination of surf and bay fishing?
Been looking at the avid inshore 7ft medium heavy or the 7ft 6inch medium to medium heavy paired with a stradic 5000.
Love the videos. I love my Sord knife
Thanks, me too !
Wish you would have done a catch cook and clean here, but great content, Probably gave a fish to a man that was fishing for supper!!! Well done!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I bought some bucktail jigs, how am I supposed to work them when fishing for Spanish mackerel
Cast out, let sink, jig up fast until theyre just under the surface. Let sink again and repeat
Your mom looks like she's have the time of her life enjoy the video
Harley's smoked Spanish dip was a staple on the pier
I agree, his and Max's are the best. We still use Max's Recipe often. And then Cher's Fried Spanish is amazing as well. I'll usually give some Spanish to Lou.
@@BamaSaltwater Hollywood Lou n Sherle they always greeted you and made you feel good. We lucky to know people like them!
@@Madcatter67 I agree ! I’ve met most
of my friends fishing that pier !
😂😂😂 loved your mom's reaction when she ripped that Spanish away from the sharks!!!
