I actually just left the pier. It’s was crazy today, we didn’t get that much but a giant spanish mackerel. I’ve been on your channel for a while. Love the vids keep up the work!
I love your excitement and how you laugh, I love watching your videos!!😂😲😛 Great fisherman and awsome cook! Keep making your momma proud and the good Lord above happy!!
That water looks good. Finally clean and clear. Gotta love sight casting. I still miss the Octi though. Great job on the fresh mahi. Looks delicious bro. 👍
Definitely have more chances at it over in Florida (especially this past week). But it's pretty rare on Alabama Piers. I just put in the time in 10+ years of fishing the GS Pier, finally landed one haha. Got lucky and blessed for sure
I'm a really big fan of your videos, in fact the family is coming to Gulf Shores in a couple of months. Can you or anyone recommend a guide for a half-day of bay/inland fishing? We'd obviously hire you if you want to make some extra bucks.
I was on vacation in Orange Beach and went to Lost Bay to get some pompano rigs with yor logo for keepsake, and went to the pier a couple of times in hopes to bump into you with no luck, keep up the great work buddy!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great pier video Stephen! It was awesome that the Mahi were close to shore and within range from the pier. Great fillet job and that meal looked delicious! Keep up the great work and I’ll catch you next time. All the best from the UK
That's a beautiful Mahi Mahi such pretty colors. I hope some day I will catch a bull Mahi Mahi. I love the colors on that fish. Congratulations are in order for both of your fish. I have done pier fishing myself and I do know about those tangles when someone lands a big fish,! I like the fact you show us how to cook the various stuff you catch. That mahi mahi cooked with those potatoes with sour cream and cheese looked so mouth warming keep up the great videos. I believe you'll go far. I'm praying so.
I'm a recent subscriber. I love this channel. I lived in Atmore from 88-96 and continued to fish the Gulf Coast thru 2010. I was really into Alabama Gulf Coast fishing. Fished my buns off. I miss it. This channel has me contemplating moving back there from Atlanta, selling most all of my guitars and living out my remaining days modestly and quietly in the beautiful Gulf Coast sun. Love your videos!!!
Soldier, your content is well above average! You catch snook where nobody catches them and you nail chicken dolphin from a land-based structure. What else is there to prove you are a fishing monster! Refreshing, unique TH-cam’s! Can’t wait for your next vid! 100K is a given!
Saw you on the pier that day! Your videos inspired me to come fish in bama lol… was little nervous to say hi because there was a crowd around you but was cool seeing you nonetheless
Mahi from a pier is rare indeed. I've caught them on boats in The Keys and Costa Rica but never from land or a pier. I had no idea they come so close there. Very cool. I've never caught a chicken dolphin at all, even cooler even if they're not big. In Spanish they're called dorado and I caught plenty of 3 and 4 footers trolling near the beach in Costa Rica on the Pacific side. I lived near the border with Panama and the fishin' is pretty awesome there.
DUDE! AMAZING CATCH! I was telling one of my fishing buddies that you got a Mahi on a pier in Bama… he didn’t believe it. Sent him this vid! Tight lines brother!
Found your channel a while back. Haven't seen all the videos yet but have seen most. Really enjoy your style and presentation. Wish you would include a date and time on them. Not specific necessarily, but a month and am or pm would help. My wife and I are really learning a lot about AL fishing and cooking our cat h. Please keep it up, thanks for what you provide your subscribers!!
We were at the pier 6/19 and did not have much luck any recommendations for us We love sheepshead and red snapper!!!! Love the videos keep up the awesome content
I usually wait until the jacks swim under the pier before casting when they're headed west like that, the jacks hooked on the east side keep on going west under the pier, and the jacks hooked on the west side keep going west away from the pier.
@@BamaSaltwater I'm getting old so l usually try to stay out of competitive pier fishing, it's a lot of trouble casting into that mess I'd rather wait on the fish to go under if I can. Hope they get that pier repaired soon, I live in Fort Walton but I've fished that pier years ago and caught some nice kings.
Looks like a blast. We will be down there in about two weeks and I think I have the wife convinced that we need to fish the pier, thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work.
Love this channel. I live in MS and a buddy and I sail on a 17' ODay day sailor. We're gonna start trolling behind it also. You inspired us, all that fresh fish just looks too good to pass up.
What’s your recommendations for some slightly off shore fishing, I got a 7ft Daiwa rod with a Daiwa laguna lt 3000-c reel and also got a 7ft penn rod and Penn fierce III 6000 rod. The Diawa has 50 pound braid and the Penn has 80 pound braid
Bro, Whatya waring on your head for sun protection? Going to Cedar Key for 11 days of red/trout/founder, know I need some serious protection from Sun Rays!
You shouldn't use extra virgin olive oil for frying, it should be used in salads because it burns at a lower temperature than regular olive oil because it is much lighter than olive oil. I learned this recently, but if it works for you do it. I am more of a cook than a fisherman. Thanks for sharing.
What's the sense hooking into fish no one can land standing shoulder to shoulder. All you got are 4, 5 fish swimming around with lures and 50 feet of line hanging off their mouth... terrible
I've known 2 people in Redington Beach in Tampa area have caught a mahi right on the beach. But it a rare catch in few places but known like 3 piers in Florida you can catch them on the pier.
Been there done that as far tangles on the pier. Awesome to catch Mahi, Mahi on pier, WOW. Congrats. I live in San Diego fish off IB pier gets crazy when the bonito and Mackerel are running.
What size ZeeBaaS is that and how long did it take you to get in? I'm looking at purchasing a lefty but been hearing nightmares about how long it takes to come in.
Really like the pier videos. If I ever get to take my kids to the ocean most likely I'll be fishing off of a pier. Everyone seems nice on the piers you fish it's pretty cool
Been watching your videos the last week or so. Got any tips for fishing for late July surf and pier fishing? We will be on vacation in late July and I'd really like to have some meat to bring back to North Alabama.
As usual great content sir. Do you mind sharing the jig brands you prefer in the description on a future vid? Heading down in September for some surf fishing with some of your pompano setups, but I may try the pier too. Thanks
Thanks, and sure! I love the Spro buck tails, the Hogy Swimbaits, and the locally tied jigs our tackle shops carry (C&B, Bird of Prey, and a few others) Good luck
That was a nice school of dodo, never caught one, in southern Cali we catch them on deep sea trips but I've never seen one caught from a pier, great video as always bro!
Haha, it's fun and a challenge. It requires everyone to work together and have thick skin. It's in its own category and I believe it to be my favorite type of fishing. Tight lines !
Thanks, and pier fishing is definitely different than everything else. As long as everyone works together and doesn't get easily offended, you can have a great time! It's my absolute favorite place to fish going on 10+ years now
@@BamaSaltwater You are definitely a quality person. It is nice to know that there still people in this world with your attributes. Obviously you were raised properly
Could you make a video explaining the budget for a new pier fishing setup. I'm sure that more than a few people watching here might not know the cost for some of these jigs and rods n reels. Thanks for the awesome videos.
My favorite quality " budget " setup is the new Penn Fierce 4000 combo! It's not super cheap, but will last many years at a very affordable price point.
Wtf!? That moment in the video at about 4mins roughly, was mental! At the very most, the closest thing I can get to that craziness, is mackerel. And that's if /when they do turn up these days (fishing from UK southcoast).
@@BamaSaltwater @Bama Saltwater I always look forward to ya videos mate. Especially the oil rigs. All I got near me is defensive forts from the mid 1800's (only fish able by boat) and the rest is generally shallow waters. This is shit when all you do mainly is beach/ surf fishing like me lol
great video! I've seen a couple of creators work that pier. When are they going to rebuild the last 50yards? Do we need to start a GoFundme to get it done? Sucks that you can't go all the way out..
I am watching your videos from Louisville Kentucky it is very entertaining i am moving to Alabama next year i will be on Lewis Smith lake but i love saltwater fishing like the way you thank the lord for everything he does for us thank you for your service keep the information coming your friend
It's a custom rod I had built. Rainshadow 1087 blank with Fuji K guide, Fuji Alps Aluminum Reel Seat, and Cork Grips. Pretty much a 9ft. Medium Heavy, Moderate Fast Action Spinning rod.

That's still a good catch ! Glad you enjoy the Channel
Oh did you clean it and cook it? I caught some off the pier in Panama City and I cleaned them and my Grandma cooked them. So Good!
Brother, I just found you on here, we are a little north of you in the 'ham. We WILL be coming down in a few weeks. I'm excited after watching you.
Great catch Bama. You were definitely rewarded well for being patient and putting in the time. Just amazing!
Thank you, I agree! It was an exciting day
I've never seen a mahi caught off the pier. GREAT JOB MAN
Thanks !!! It’s definitely a “being at the right place at the right time” kinda moment !
Awesome video and catch, AGAIN! Still killing it!
Thanks Tami!
I love your excitement and how you laugh, I love watching your videos!!😂😲😛 Great fisherman and awsome cook! Keep making your momma proud and the good Lord above happy!!
Love your videos brother! Throwing in the cleaning and cooking parts of a catch clean and cook makes the videos 10x better! Keep it up
Thank you much!
That water looks good. Finally clean and clear. Gotta love sight casting. I still miss the Octi though. Great job on the fresh mahi. Looks delicious bro. 👍
It was one of the clearer days I've seen in a while off GS. And me too, the Octi was loaded with fish. Thanks !
Last 10 casts the whole 2nd half of the day :)
Haha , usually how it is LOL
I like using similar gear as well and that pier is on fire
Great episode, I've been fishing Florida piers since 1970 or so and never caught a Mahi off one.

Wonderful content. I was wondering, do you sometime pull up a fish that has been hooked into previously and got broken off? Free lures, right?
You shouldn't use extra virgin olive oil for frying, it should be used in salads because it burns at a lower temperature than regular olive oil because it is much lighter than olive oil. I learned this recently, but if it works for you do it. I am more of a cook than a fisherman. Thanks for sharing.
That was some special hook spitting talent, way to stay at it & get one. Epic catch off the pier.
