- Kayak fishing the Alabama Gulf Coast for Huge Gator Speckled Trout.
In this episode we head down to Gulf shores in search of 3 slot speckled trout. Little did I know I would end up catching a monster speckled trout that would weigh nearly 9 pounds. This speckled trout absolutely made it worth the trip and made my day! I hope you enjoy the video, a link to the products used in the video are down below.

I remember catching my pb trout this last February 28.5 same as yours just it was awesome to see the moment he realized he’s got a trout instead of a red pits a smile on my face cause how relatable it was. Great fish man!
Man I appreciate it, that was definitely a day to remember!
I live at Fowlers Bluff on the Suwannee river. I've been fishing around here for over 60 years. My dad used to take me with him salt water fishing when I was around 5. I remember the days fishing behind Deer Island, Preachers Hole. Giger Creek when it was not uncommon to catch over 100 trout. I got schooled when I was around 16 years old about Mirror Lures. I was anchored on the ledge in the Preachers hole and there was a boy camping on Clark Island He was drifting and casting. Every drift he went by us he would put 4-5 nice trout in his cooler. After about an hour watching him I asked him what he was using. You know what it was. We had one in the TB but by then the tide had flooded in. He must of caught 75-80 keepers. I mostly fish now around the mouth of the Suwannee. I'm old now and it's easier for me to just go after the big boys. Them days of the big schools of trout are a thing of the past. You're lucky to catch a limit most days but you can still catch some of the big boys sometimes. I was so lucky to be raised over here and see this beautiful area and the fish and animals that live here. No better place anywhere. (Rusty)

Cool video! I heard that "wooooo!!!" first hand on the water that day and I don't think I was even that close.
lol 😂 I think they heard me on Dauphin Island 😂
awesome video sir ! i really enjoy watching your video ! thank your for the sharing of your fishing knowledge and experiences ! liked !
Nice video. Nice rig
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Awesome, solid fish!
Thanks brother!
Nice gator, a true gator trout.
Thanks!!
I grew up on Mosquito Lagoon here in Florida, A true gator is at least 6lb, not these little 3 to 5+lb fish all of the youtubers are calling gator trout. Some of the old timers, 50 yrs ago would not call a fish under 8lbs a gator trout.
Keep plugging.
I can't stop watching this!! So bad ass!
I know lol me too
Awesome video man!
Dang man what a trout! That was awesome!
Thanks bro!
Dude, this is one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a while on an absolute toad. When my citation hit, I thought it was a Redfish too.
Thanks brother! Man it’s crazy I mean I saw the fish eat and was like yep that’s a redfish. Love catching these fish man nothing gets me quite as pumped up as a healthy trout
Great video! Way to grind for them!
Thanks man!!
Great fish!
Thanks man!
Keep killing it man! These are amazing angles!
Thanks bro I appreciate it!
Southern Salt Kayak Fishing fo sho!
I got a 30 once in my life. I was by myself fishing live finger mullet. Central FL near the space center. She must have spawned so she was super skinny but still weighed close to 8lbs. I will never forget.
That’s awesome man! I’ve been wanting to fish the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River Lagoon for quite some time.
Southern Salt Kayak Fishing Yes sir, I was in Indian River lagoon. Wading off the tip of a spoil island. Gator trout are beautiful fish! Check out a local channel Joey Antonelli.
Will do!
Badass content!! Whew!! 👏💯👍🎣
Thank you ma’am!!!!
That was freaking awesome! Congrats!! #staydown
Lol love the hashtag 😂 thanks brother!
Killer fish!! 🤘🏻
Thanks brother!
Man, what a trout...I just caught my PB, only a 24" and I was over the moon...can't even imagine one that big!
24” is a stud! Nice catch sir!
@@southernsalt It was quite a story, The short of it is I leaned out too far to net it, and flipped my Outback...somehow still got the fish..
😳 wow dude. Nice save
Nice. Mine too was 24' was very excited lol
solid video great edits
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Southern Salt Kayak Fishing you betcha i subbed hope we can collaborate a bit love these videos very informative we as content creators just need to link together and share the crap out of our stuff to get these views up
Oh wow!!!!
IKR 😂
Nice fishing 28” is nice 👍
Thank you sir!
Way to stay after them on a tough day! Another great video! I was wandering if you could do a video sometime on how you set up your kayak to fish in strong current. I fish in the Jacksonville area and we have huge tides with a lot of moving water as you know. If possible I Would love to see some techniques you use to fish those areas effectively. Thanks!
Oh man I’m very familiar with the tides in Jacksonville! I can think on something and maybe piece something together. The Mill Cove area is a little bit better with the tides than a lot of the other areas.
Awesome! That’s exactly where I was looking for my next trip. It’s thought fishing docks with a heavy current but I know fish are there!
Richard Thomas if you launched at Lonnie Wurn park and fish all those islands straight out from there you will find a lot of good trout and reds as well as a few flounder.
Awesome brother I appreciate it. I’ll definitely check that out. As always thanks for the awesome content I love how you include teaching moments in your videos as well 👍
WOW what a trout. My PB is 23.5 inches...Great videos..Thanks for sharing...
If you're up to sharing some adventure, I'll be down there staying at Island Retreat Rv park April 2nd-9th 2021 and I'll have my kayaks. Planning to fish most every morning. I've never kayak fished down there and have been looking into Little Lagoon a lot.
Big trout and Sheepshead will be my focus, but I'd love to get on anything else new to add on my adventure chart.
Thanks again for the great videos and GOD BLESS
Thank you sir! I set to be on the Texas coast this spring.
hands down best trout I've seen come out from around here congratulations man!!! That 30" is only a matter of time for you atleast lol!!!! #myidol lol
Lol 😂 that hashtag 😂. We need to hit it soon brother!
@@southernsalt lmao well your a trout mentor for me haha and let's gooo
Awesome trout !!! Great video !! I guess the tournament had special size regulations?
Some very nice trout. That first thirty incher is always something to remember. I'm sure you'll get yours soon. Best of luck. Where were you fishing out of?
Thanks man it’s definitely something I’ve been chasing for a while now. I’m fishing out of Gulf Shores, Dauphin Island Alabama area.
“That’s what she said” 😂
😂
That trout was thicker than a bowl of cold mash Potatoes
😂 😂 😂
That was a nice fish you got. Man It was so cool to see you get so excited. I don't blame you man I would to. That 30 would have made your day. I have a question? I'm looking to upgrade my kayak to a pedal drive kayak. The problem I have is my big self has big wide feet 4 EEEE WITH FAT WIDE TOE. I know Hobie has those straps that go over top of your feet. With my feet being so wide I don't think my feet will fit through the straps. I have a pair of flip-flops and I can barely fit my feet through the straps because my foot are so wide. I noticed your foot was not through the straps is that something new now. I'm all the time kayaking barefooted 👣 to. I even did a weekend kayak trip barefooted because I did not feel like dealing with fighting to put my flip-flops on my feet. It's that bad sometimes. My friends called me ( wide foot Bandit) I really would like to get my pedal drive. I really appreciate this sir. You have a very good Channel sir. You take it easy and be safe out there.
Thanks man, actually you don’t even need the straps on the Hobie pedals. I remove mine because they just get in the way. You wouldn’t have a problem at all.
Southern Salt Kayak Fishing oh cool that is awesome to hear. That will work better for me taking them off. I hope you don't mind me subscribing to your Channel. It is awesome keep up the good work brother. And thank you so much I really appreciate it.
Are you making your videos?
Great catching every time :)))
Lol yes I make them all.
Man great fish! You going to get your Dirty 27 citation?
Should have the sticker coming in today.
@@southernsalt Awesome!!!! Congrats man! What a trophy!
I live in north alabama I'm going to gulf shores Monday morning. I'm wondering how to catch trout from the bank or a pier all I have ever done is fresh water including rainbow trout up here. I just use a worm and split shot how do I find these and what do I use? Also how many people usually flocks in down there? I like to be by myself as much as I can
Man I’m not sure about by foot. Scott Kennedy rents kayas so that may be an option for you.
What are the specs on that 6'9" ML rod? Do you know the blank used?
It’s a American Tackle Bushido 6’8” Med light fast action rod. The part number is SJ68/6-10
Question a little off subject: Can you talk about the various kayak launch sites to use around the area? I just bought my 1st kayak (Hobie Outback) I have no idea where to launch to get into the Theodore Industrial Canal....or some of the marshes you fish. Thanks.
No problem man. Message me on Facebook And I’ll drop you some pins.
Hey was wondering what kayak you’re on? I’m a big guy and weigh almost 320 pounds. What would be the best kayak for my size. Not saying you’re a big guy or anything bud just wondering if you could steer me in the right direction.
I’m fishing out of a Hobie PA14. I don’t have much experience with other brands, but I know there are several out there that will be just fine for you. Your local dealer should have a place to test the kayak out before you buy one.
I’m a local around those parts. Imma need you to send me a pin.
😂 it’s a small place that holds good fish all over lol
