This ABANDONED Lighthouse Had So Many BIG FISH Under it!

After fishing some jetties early in the morning I decided to make a run out to Mobile Bay where I had a particular structure in mind that I wanted to try for some bigger fish. This lighthouse has been up for over 130 years and is a great composition of steel and cables that hold it place. After a few minutes of tossing live shrimp out I quickly find out there were definitely some quality fish lurking around this historical place!

Avon skin so soft and coconut oil works also. Great video. Nice stringer of sheeps. Quality fish. Thank you for sharing. 😎🍺🇺🇸🐟

[@CaptCollier]

Preciate ya watching! Skin so soft seems to be what the majority of people are using for them aggravating things

[@budgregory8493]

Yep, you found the sheep honey hole! Nice job and fun to watch! Thanks for sharing.

[@CaptCollier]

They were stacked for sure! haha I appreciate ya tuning in

[@charlessnyder4314]

Since I can no longer get out on a boat and fish it’s nice to see someone have success and catch some nice fish

[@johnpair9193]

I've really noticed over the last two years how much your video editing has improved. Everything from the music to the drone footage is just awesome! Really appreciate the time you put into making these videos.

[@CaptCollier]

Always trying to improve the quality man. I appreciate you noticing!

[@samprenticee]

love sheepshead fishing so much. havent done it in awhile since im a full time student in school but whenever i get some time off i always head down to gulf shores to get some fishin in

[@CaptCollier]

They are so much fun man. Im glad other people enjoy catching them as much as i do

[@jonathanwilson6288]

You are living the life! I enjoyed this video. Wish I were out there fishing. You were slaying them!

[@joshuahenry524]

Awesome to saw someone from my area on here! I’m in Daphne! Great video, I just got my first boat and have been duck hunting but can’t wait to catch some fish out of it! Little 14 ft with a 25 mariner

On the days where there is no wind, wear a painters mask and fishing gloves. Skin so soft is my go - to

Out in the woods logging we used to hang a scented dryer sheet off the back of our hat. Seemed to work. Great video.

Someone else mentioned that as well, I’d be willing to bet y’all are on to something with those dryer sheets. Interesting lol and thanks

We've been having some windy and cold days here lately this just happen to be a gorgeous day. Im sure its still better than up north though like you said

Oh wow bro we went to government street together. Glad I found your channel! We hit the T channel marker next to gaillard island and got 3 reds and a bunch of white trout early this morning.

[@mikeholton9876]

try tucking a fabric softener sheet in the back of your hat, we use this in the summer playing golf and the gnats do not really care for the scent (bounce regular scent is the one we use)

[@tombrown7577]

That's a great day in anyone's book for this time of year! Reminds me of catching big sheeps under the Ponce Inlet bell buoy years ago. I like that liitle Engel bait box too!

[@CaptCollier]

Man it’s so convenient. It’ll keep shrimp alive for days with that little bubbler going and the rod holders add a nice touch

[@lawrencelwartleyjr.8186]

I went to Glenn County Ga. Had contact with gnats for first time. Went to a store, clerk suggested Avon Skin so soft. I put it on and walked through a swarm...looked like Moses parting the red sea.

[@CaptCollier]

Haha I like that analogy. I’ve got some since this video, and you’re right. It definitely works

[@syletastamer8283]

Buy a spray called Proven. You can get it on Amazon. I think it's 12.00- 15.00. We fish all the time out of Steinhatchee Fl & Suwannee Fl. Sand gnats are horrible!!! They make me get big welts when they bite me. A friend of mine who lives on the coast said she uses Proven. I bought some, AMAZED! They will fly all around you but I never got bit one time! And this is at the peek times of day. Early morning & late afternoon. We always have it on the boat now.

[@CaptCollier]

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!

[@Jerrods123]

I find that vitamin B1 works well to keep the bugs away. take a dose the night before and another in the morning. The smell in on your breath and in you perspiration.

[@leh3827]

My brother said they were calling the noseeums 'flying jaws' in Florida. Any bug juice is God send😊

[@CaptCollier]

😂 that’s funny. I’ve called them “flying teeth” before. It fits

[@williammathews6603]

you own them sheaphead..good day of fishin.. staysafe!

[@jeffhixon9450]

Great video. Looks like a lot of fun with the sheepshead bite.

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks! Them convicts are always fun

[@willmiddleton9199]

Get some neutral oil (like almond oil or grapeseed oil or some other) and mix it with essence of cedar or cedar oil and lather up big time. Nothing is perfect for the no seeums but that formula works pretty well... God I hate those no seeums - been tortured many times late in the afternoon or at night trying to filet fish while getting bit to death, lol

[@mritolduso7355]

The Warden! Rounding up convicts and sentencing them to a greasy demise! I love it!!

[@CaptCollier]

Haha. I’ve been doing enough catch & releasing, it was time to fill the freezer and feast

[@robertlosasso4222]

Up north we use calico crabs for Tog fishing , depending on size how much crab u use . Also use stout pole when fishing around pilings and stanchions with 50 lb leader and 50 lb braid . Something I do is use barbless hooks , makes for easy release on smaller fish .

[@captaj2845]

So for the gnats. What I use is Sawyers. Use the "yellow" bottle on your clothes and then the "blue" on your skin. It works well. Be sure to spray your hat.

Thanks for watching, it does seem like they are typically bigger on average over this way.

[@eugeneweeks3325]

If you wanna make a trip to the Sarasota area you should. Been catch sheepshead between 12-18 inches for the past few months. Find any bridge or rock pile and your good. Shrimp cut in half seem to work best.

[@mk-xh6jt]

Their smaller because ..this fishery is now Severely overfished in East Florida largely because of the You Tube Hype Publicity of a species once considered a trash fish.And now we have people stupid enough to have Sheepshead TOURNAMENTS for Money.. A Nightmare & DISASTER

[@phil8823]

Enjoy ur videos. The best bug repellent by for is Marshland. We are in southeast Texas and the bugs are always bad. You can order on line. Good fishing.

Deep woods off..love to fish there sometime.

[@carlreed9357]

Cap when I still hunted I used a Therma Cell to keep the bugs away and it really worked. If the wind picked up I just clipped it to my turkey vest and it still worked with a pretty stiff breeze blowing. Small enough and not much weight at all so it doesn't get in the way.

[@CaptCollier]

Haven't thought about that, that's a good idea. I could probably just attach it to the ttop frame

[@kevinchristensen84]

Hey. I enjoyed your video, and look forward to moving to NC. About the gnats: get you some American Beautyberry bushes, and plant them around your porch. Take a glass jar, and fill it with the leaves. Next, fill the jar full of leaves with the cheapest, nastiest vodka you can find, unless your local pharmacy has 90% ETHYL alcohol (isopropyl won't work). Let this sit for about a 7-day week. Then add an essential oil that smells good, and this will not only repel gnats, but skeeters, fleas, ticks, chiggers, and all stripes of biting flies. Only trouble is that most blood sucking parasites are attracted by carbon dioxide, and may target your face. Something like a horse flymask?

[@CaptCollier]

Thanks for the advice! NC Has some great sheep fishing what I hear
