[@redstripeblueboat1840]

You are by FAR the most humble and relatable fisherman in the GS/OB area. Always great videos without the fluff that others use. Keep being real my brotha!

[@1MOFISH]

He absolutely is. I like how he most always adds info about creel limits for the fish he catches.

[@mmcleod111]

Great video! Love this kind of fishing. Cork with a live shrimp in the creeks and flats in the Big Bend Florida area. Reds and Trout. And redfish are great eating! Thanks for sharing!

[@williammathews6603]

good day of fishin,dinner gonna be good eatin,make sure ya call momma to come have dinner,staysafe..

[@RustyAdams-do5pb]

It's nice to go catching every once in a while.

[@jsullivan5823]

Only been finned once, little bullhead when I was like 8, I learned my lesson lol Thanks again man!

[@TexasNEV]

Got poked by a sailcat in John's Pass in Treasure Island once, that was the first time I yelled MF!! in front of my mom.. Ugh.. And I was a grown adult and I was still ashamed!! LOL

[@brianerwin639]

Hey Steve Cali here lol actually in Grand Bay been fishing in bayou La bayte figuring it out see you soon I hope Snapper season

[@Notorious_Fishing]

Glad to see another video! Bought one of your surf rigs and me and my dad were catching a TON of Blue Catfish and Whiting!

[@321FishingwithQ]

awesome fishing video i really want too come all the way from VA to come fish with you i hope we can maybe make that possible love your videos keep up the good work

[@davidstill7684]

You mentioned spike and bleed the redfish. Tell me exactly how you do that? I bleed mine but just curious what you do? Great channel!!!!

[@fr.charles239]

Love seeing your channel is doing well, ive been here since 10k and im so excited to see you go far in the community.

[@benjaminhammock9426]

I miss being in the area. I used to live in bon secour. I would really love to come down for a weekend trip with you

[@michaelhobby4872]

Great Video! Would you consider in one of your videos teaching us the best way to clean our reels and rods and other things you use? The few times I have been able to go saltwater fishing, my equipment gets salted up and I end up having to trash some of it. Thank you in advance!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks and definitely !! My number one suggestion on saltwater gear is purchase high quality saltwater rated reels/rods and spray them down with fresh water every time! Ill make a video one day with my arsenal

[@tonyhicks9388]

Great thing helping the locals instead of corporate. Hope for good fishing

[@AliceHarden-h2v]

hi im going fishing offshore in june i wach your videos to help me know what im doiign

[@Mako_Mess_224]

Hey Steven! Have you ever bled them by pushing through the skin behind the pectoral fin and busting the heart? That’s how I learned to. Also, would you be interested in fishing with some young fans in July?

[@mrgoodtime1992]

Im on vacation for the next week here in foley. Spam watching all your vids to get some knowledge to catch fish

[@maxpinson5002]

Almost missed this one. Not sure what's up with all the disappearing likes and such on all the outdoor related channels. It's on all of em I watch Thanks for the video Looking forward to many more

[@adamulven4625]

Nice video, man. I’m from the Destin area but I live in Crystal River area now. Lot of similar natural structure as in your videos. I’m doing alright fishing but might try some of your ideas on catching fish soon to target new species. I’m on a curado DC.

[@goodcitizen64]

I bought a couple of your pompano rigs and have been using them for catfish and carp in fresh water lakes. They've been working very well so far! Love your videos brother! God bless y'all!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome to hear!! God Bless!

[@cooperdoesfishing]

i have been to that tackle shop in gulf shores i got a bait sock and a crab pot

[@ericbunch7801]

great video , love it looking forward to gulf fishing

[@stevengarcia2072]

Yesss!! Hate living in upstate New York when I get to watch videos like yours! Haven’t done more than click on and type this out, but I know it’s gonna be a great video and once again thank you!!

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

I've never seen any catch and cook red fish or snook, they always throw them back not sure why😁🎣🐠🐟

When fishing the bon secour river area marshes. What depth or terrain are you looking for ?

[@chaspruitt2610]

Really enjoyed the video & commentary, thank you!!

I would like to see a bridge monster video.

[@rayt8980]

Great video as always. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@williamlewis5688]

Haven't put a red in the boat yet this year and I've tried everything

[@tomnorman2668]

Awesome as usual!

[@robdishjr4912]

It's a little out of your way here in South bama but fishermans discount on 98 has live shrimp ALL THE TIME! Just another option for ya

[@robdishjr4912]

They are usually always fat boys too. If they don't have good sized ones they will usually give u extra over what u ask for bc they are a bit smaller. Good ppl there

[@BPhillips4gg]

Would you use your redfish rigs below the popping corks or is it better to just tie on the leader and hook?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Nope, those are for bottom fishing and casting. The cork just needs a basic leader, hook, and split shot weight

[@nicelady51]

Taking catfish off the hook, I put my first two fingers under each side spike, then my thumb on its lower lip. My other hand is free to remove the hook, using a dehooker if necessary.

[@zionsbackyardadventures6096]

Love the video!! What size circle hook are you using?

[@BamaSaltwater]

1/0 Owner Mutu Light ! Thanks

[@narhangreen4290]

My 7 yeat old loves your show. We usually come to the gulf in the fall he would love to leet you

[@chadwilson6550]

Do you have a video on bleeding redfish?

[@m4tt5678]

I will be in Florida (Clearwater) from the UK at the start of June and really want to try some fresh gulf fish. Any recommendations from what is in season and any places to go try some? I assume I won't be able to fish for my own..?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Your best bet and advice I give to anyone, is once you arrive in town, find the local tackle shop and ask for what's biting and what you need. The good ones are always willing to help!

[@m4tt5678]

@@BamaSaltwater thanks, appreciate you.

[@charleshatcliff5588]

Cool thanks man. Dinner .

Always enjoy it.

Have you tried coming too Boca grande to catch tarpon

[@BamaSaltwater]

Maybe one day!

[@TheDIY-Guy]

Where can you catch live bait in the gulf shores area with a cast net??

[@rznourraptor1980]

Great video. I enjoy all of them but this one seemed to be a little extra. Thank you.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks !

[@sailorrobsfishingadventure694]

Love your videos. Do have a question. What happened to your right forearm? Noticed it in your video today. We need to plan a trip in my and your area one day. Do an Army / Navy fishing challenge. God Bless and keep up the good content.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I played to rough with the dog lol.... my fault and God Bless!

[@joelstrayer1247]

When you decide to fish with a baitcaster over spinning, why? I use both I just wanna know why you specifically choose one over the other

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

My buddy and I always used to say “the key to fishing is always pay attention” every time we looked away we’d always miss a fish.😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely !!! lol. Lots of fishing trips have been saved by actually looking haha!

[@robdishjr4912]

Lol. Go to take a pee. Gaurnteed, u get smacked!

[@robdishjr4912]

It's funny too bc just last weekend. Me and my old man were surf fishing for pompano. He legit looks at me and says hey bud watch my rods I'm gonna go take a leak. Wasn't 5 seconds after he turned his back fully bent over rod 19 inch pompano lol

[@BrandonHebert-dh8dv]

Love the redfish video a lot

[@ErinLogan-gs5ki]

Really nice Reds.. Great video my friend ❤❤

[@michaelpage8359]

What rod are you using? What strength and action? Looking for a nice live bait popping cork rod.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Crowder E-Series Medium Heavy Fast Action. Personally though, my absolute favorite live bait/popping cork rod was the original Shimano Teramar's 7'4" Medium Power Moderate Action.

[@timburton9514]

Just curious, did you get rid of your jonboat?

[@BamaSaltwater]

I sold it locally but I did a couple of trips in it, I still have to edit . It just didnt work out for what I bought it for

[@tonyhicks9388]

Good lord willing I'll get down there for a catch and cook, what a blessing that would be for me

[@jacko4483]

Love the great vids Steven! I have a question though. You do a great job bringing home fresh seafood for the family, but what do find is the best bait to use when Momma wants cheeseburgers for dinner? 😅 With a brotherly hug!

[@davidstolarski741]

Thanks, Steve for another great fishing trip. You are very lucky to be near the gulf so that you can fish saltwater. I'm in Michigan - we have the inland seas, the Great Lakes, but it's not saltwater fishing.

[@KrisK-i4f]

Love me some catfish ! , to much murcury and pcb’s in em to keep em in the Carolina impoundments I fish , but fine eating if you are fishin clean water…

[@stephanhead7532]

Stephen, love that fishing store. A great bunch of guys working there.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree, always down to Earth!

[@GloriousSEAGRUB]

Great Video!

[@markkarentempletonacoustic7571]

What is spiked and gilled?? Thanks

[@nathanheckathorne8061]

I think he means killed quickly with a spike and cut the gills to bleed quickly. It preserves the meat flavor and texture. Look up Japanese “Ikejime” method for more info

[@marciananton9226]

Maybe im not using the popping cork right. I never catch anything with them.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Key to it, is first, be where the fish are, and second, do not over work it!

[@jeremywiggins5252]

If you ever need a fishing buddy in the area, hit me up. Im taking my kayaks out with a buddy on sunday to target reds, specs and flounder

[@maxpinson5002]

If you fish for enough years you'll get finned. The little ones with the needle sharp fins are pretty bad

[@jackiebishop9574]

@ 8:06 you think getting fined by a hard head catfish sting a little...lol, 😁 I get it I know you are joking. I have used that method to hold hard head's before. Here is something to ponder, Hard heads and gaft top both swim in large schools, so they inadvertently will fin each other. You know that fish snot that or slime that is on the those fish when you catch them, it is their medical protection. This sounds nasty, but if you ever get fined by a hard head, you immediately rub some of that snot in to the wound, the pain will go a way. The next thing you can do after rubbing in the fish snot is to slam down a beer or two that will help too.

[@danl.909]

Fish don’t "inadvertently fin each other" in schools. They use the pressure sense in their lateral lines to maintain separation.
