What a humble and knowledgable fella, these are the type of guys you wanna watch, say hello to, ask questions and Offer to Help if your Able! Fishing buddies is a stronger kinship than any, That's the oldest brotherhood humankind has had! Pier fishing is Special in itself.
The legend I knew was Harley. I met Harley about 19yrs ago as he, one of his friends, and I were the (only 3) on the pier during late May. Not sure if that ever happens anymore, but thankful to have experienced that. He taught me some great tricks for flounder that day. He was so nice and helpful in areas I didn’t have knowledge such as the flounder tricks he showed me. Glad there’s still guys like that.
I absolutely love that pier I've caught so many fish, a nice little secret is in October and November you can catch an insane lady fish bite at night I've caught multiple lady fish that were over 5lbs the biggest was probably 6 1/2lbs maybe next time I'll register it for the state record. Stay bummy.
When I took up fishing again at a local community lake the old timers were very helpful in showing me how to catch fish. Now I'm one of the old timers helping newbies. Looking forward to a Bama peir fishing trip and some beach exploring.
I would not have known all of that. The last time I fished there we fished near the entrance just past where you check in. We are going down there this summer for a family reunion this summer. It will be interesting to see "The Gulf Shores Shuffle".
Love that you are branching out and showing off more of what the area has to offer. Grew up spending spring break on the old pier. The people are always friendly and willing to help. You just have to ask and respect them. The challange of the surf is still a bigger draw to me but nice to have options. Can't wait to see more vids.
Seth Hutchison Surf Fishing will always be my passion and main focus for the channel. But I am definitely excited about a different style of fishing closely related to it.
My youngest brother taught me how to trolley fish for mackerel off the ends of piers in North and South Carolina. An interesting 2 rod method of fishing, requiring an anchor line and a bait line. I have only hooked one King in that fashion. It seems both of us were too green and close to the pier. He broke me off on the barnacles of a pieling. Otherwise, I have won my name in the Myrtle Beach paper on a half dozen occassipns, catching Spanish big enough to get an award for. I'll take it! As you have stated, Spanish are good eating when they are fresh.
Great information. Taking husband there for vacation in two weeks and hoping he will cast a line or two for relaxation. I'm excited to see how he reacts to it all! we are not residents of Alabama and wondered about obtaining fishing license in order to fish off of pier. Any recommendations?
Gonna be down in the middle of April, with my 5 YO Grandson. It will be easier to keep his attention on the Pier maybe a half hour or so LoL. Any suggestions for bait.
Watching your old videos. Heard needed to watch 30 seconds of ad for you to get credit. Now after ad ends, screen goes white with Skip Ads still up. Is that TH-cams way of making you not get credit? 15 second ad now 5 more seconds with nothing happening. I don't skip even though that's the 2nd one. Any idea?
I never anticipated being as busy as I have been with my guiding. I do still plan on getting out there more...Keep bugging me about it. It'll push me to do it. lol

We will be down there in December. Cant wait to try it out. I need to buy a salt water rod and reel. Thanks for the tips!!!
I believe you can rent a rod on the pier for cheap. You should double check that, but it is a good option.
The Gulf State Pier, the best fishing ever!
Great stuff!! What a wealth of information!!
Hope to see you there. Love this pier
Sounds great!
Cool video as always! Hope to visit a pier on next trip down!
Greg Lane thank you!
keep the awesome videos comming . I really enjoy them
Will do man!

Wow, what an awesome pier. Awesome video as well ! N.S.B Stay'n Bummy .
David aka Pier#r is the man!!!
At 3:23 the railing over by the cleaning table I caught my first flounder
Awesome man! That’s some great eating!
Arachnid Facts haha hey Robert
We have to waitttttttttt for pier like that in Texas... maybe in next 20 years
Even with all the sharks around, this is my absolute favorite place to fish.
I have still yet to fish it, but very soon I’ll be out there looking like an idiot
Me and my dad lost almost whole pound of bait because of these sharks
Another great video! Thanks for the pier info.
Thank you!
In s.oregon when someone tells, fish on, everybody feels in to get out of the way. Or swim.lol

Boat-tailed Grackle sounding off about 2:40 mark.
I was just there caught two smacks on a sabiki rig
My question is what do people use to hoist heavier fish up?
filegumbo net
Whatever happened to you doing some pier fishing videos?
I never anticipated being as busy as I have been with my guiding. I do still plan on getting out there more...Keep bugging me about it. It'll push me to do it. lol
That’s ok. We love watching you catch em on the beach. Glad you’re staying busy. Hope you and your family have a great holidays.
I'm at the peir right now it's 3:41 am
I’ve just been mind fucked by this guy
Love the fact of an "expert", but volume so low, couldn't hear.
Hell I wish our pier had such courtesy. People down here act like complete dipshits on the pier. It's a shame because I won't fish it.
Yeah we got some good folks around here.
LSU
any word IF they will ever work on it again?????????????????? Basically worthless for money just a crowded half pier
No help at all, very general. Looked cold but didn't say what time of year.
