Ok, Stephen, I’m getting spoiled. This is I think the third time I’ve caught one of your videos soon after it’s up. Thanks once again, and always, God Bless you and your mom. I love when she joins you, she gets so happy!

[@mike8610]

This is the BEST surf fishing channel. Thanks for what you do brother.

[@tinamoore4310]

I appreciate when you remind everyone to clean up. I’m amazed at folks that come to appreciate nature then mess it up. 🎯

[@joshuaernst5135]

Man I’ve learned so much watching your videos we are heading to Destin for 4 days to pompano fish in mid April and I’ll be using almost the exact same set up. Same cart too. Thanks for sharing this info. I am from Oklahoma but when we go I still catch fish thanks to people like you!

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

Just love watching y’all fish! The sand there is like powdered sugar. So soft and beautiful. Good tips on rinsing equipment with fresh water. An ounce of prevention goes a long way❤️

[@gcrauwels941]

Good instruction. Glad your channel is doing well.

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Very nice video brother! We could watch 5 of these videos a day! Would never get old! Doesn’t matter if it’s whiting or sharks 🎣🐟🦈

[@BamaSaltwater]

Love it man, thanks for the support!

[@Benny_Sims]

It's been a while since you've posted a surf fishing video. Great advice for beginners.

[@FreedomForceFishing]

Half day of school, a chicken sandwich for lunch, AND A BAMA SALTWATER VIDEO. How can it get any better

[@tonybeard5147]

Really enjoy your videos and how you help educate and teach us how to be successful.

[@Striperbass2]

Surf fishing! now that's my language! I won't bore you w/ any advice...your methods and equipment were fine for your situation. Please, more surf fishing!!😁

[@travissmith5525]

Thank you so much for this video! It brought back so many good memories, years ago I lived down by Carolina Beach, NC. I moved back to Ohio, I sure miss hearing the waves come in.

[@frankricketts1959]

I really appreciate the tips and lessons. Keep it up. Thanks

[@jonnygranville281]

I just bought one of the surf rigs. Awesome to have a tutorial to learn to use it

[@JacobMoy-ij5om]

Love when you fish with your mom. I miss my mom so much every time we went out on the boat she can all the way up to her death. Sadly I haven't bin fishing in tbe boat since then . I cant wait to get back on the boat .

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

At 7:05 that other rod was getting bit by that whiting that made that line go slack! 😂LOL

[@henrykosky3919]

Cool man..besides you fishing your backyard.. I think I've only seen you fishing in a boat!.. Great content 👍

[@caseyowens8788]

Hey brother, been watching and learning from you for so long now. You have no idea how much you're videos, tips, and tricks have helped me to become a better fisherman! I live in Baldwin County as well and literally just fished that exact spot you're in a few days ago, but had a terrible time because the wind/surf was so crazy rough. Would you mind sharing what you look at to determine how rough/calm the surf is predicted to be before you go surf fishing, wether it be a weather app or a specific metric or what? I try my best, but I'm not sure what to look for to help determine when the surf is supposed to be calm to plan my fishing trip around. Either way, keep doing what you're doing, your videos truly have made a difference to me!

[@brandonbutler992]

We went out with your friend Ben with Great Southern Charters today and I got my first pomp and some nice sheep heads!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Heck yeah, that's awesome. Fishing was good today for sure!

[@leroymorris6036]

Thanks for the tips

[@jorge2861]

Appreciate the videos!❤

[@darrinsparks8119]

Used a couple of your pompano rigs today using cut squid. I caught all kinds of fish and rays. Had a heck of a day here in orange beach . Thanks for all the tips 👍

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome!! Glad you had a good time!

[@70snowman]

Oh how I have missed your surf fishing videos!

[@Adam-yb2ei]

Another great session man. Keep up the great work

[@stayontarget47]

Awesome video. Cheers my friend.

[@codyosborne9307]

I would love to see more videos like this one. I used to surf fish with my father all the time before he got Alzheimer's and I just love living vicariously through your videos. Hopefully one day I'll be down there in the bay with you. If anyone needs use of an environmental biologist with years of lab manager experience down there, let me know haha!

[@davesessums9596]

Love all your vids but love beach fishing vids especially!

[@davefagerstrom]

I recently moved to Gulf Shores and want to let you know as a greenhorn fisherman, I very much appreciate your videos~!

[@roypeavy3542]

Enjoy your fishing video 👍

[@MrOshea10]

Gotta say, I’m from Mobile and have done a lot of surf fishing but have never done as well as I have this week with the bama saltwater pompano rig. I’m way down Fort Morgan road and we have worn them out this week!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome to hear, thanks for sharing!!! Glad you got a good fish box full!

[@snakebait5118]

Thanks Stephen! I appreciate the education! Now I need to consider surf fishing before I get too old!

[@technical19d34]

I live in Foley and have used your double drop rigs many times to catch pomp and whiting. They are very good quality. I really like to use Fishgum pomp candy instead of fish bites but do also use the fish bites as well. Thanks for another great video.

[@nathanleitz5060]

As always great video I enjoy seeing you fish from the beach also you entered into the fishing tournament they have going on down there thru middle of December I believe for biggest pompano just curious as always stay safe and tight lines

[@FrankJohnson-d5v]

Sand fleas for Pompano 👍 I like to use my 6.5' Ugly Stick Elite with 12 lb power pro 😎 and sunglasses, of course 😂 Pinellas beaches, Florida 🤗

[@williammathews6603]

good vid bama,good info..godbless

[@BackyardEngineer334]

Hooked Up is the best tackle shop down there IMO, J&M is for the fancy snobs.

[@iancaen2977]

Lost Bay is also good.

[@adamgadtalis2435]

Hey Stephen, thanks for another great video.Do you export your bait and tackle?

[@kierra_mist]

Yay! A new video 😊

[@NathanGenzer-fw4jp]

Love the vids man!

[@fr.charles239]

Been here since 20k and Ill be here when you hit 1m

[@childerstodd]

Great video, what power and action are those rods? Thanks

[@darrylstamper4582]

I really enjoy your videos Stephen thank you for sharing how do you tie your rigs on ?I just moved here I don’t think I’ve ever rigged for saltwater fishing

[@timtimtimmay4654]

We call the whiting ground mullet over here in Biloxi

[@philOKC]

Those whiting are the perfect eating size over here in Spain. Very few bones.

[@A5JDZK]

Surf fished on Emerald Isle, NC. Used cut squid on a 3000 size rig. Didn't catch a dang thing. 2oz pyramid weight, 2/0 circle hook. I was just glad to be on the beach in NC.

[@iancaen2977]

Hooks too big? Try using size 2 and catch quite a few.

[@A5JDZK]

@@iancaen2977 Thank you. I'll give it a shot.

[@Carowindsxantonio]

I love the videos also when’s the next time you heading of shore

[@131david1]

Love your videos. Keep it up

[@twotoned2774]

I was supposed to go surf fishing today. I can't decided not to go because it was 39° here. Your video scratched my itch. 😊

[@saltwateryankees2000]

I love my reel 30A 9 foot rod! Good video buddy thanks for the content

[@garygould2194]

Do you do any kind of fishing charters,on a boat or surf fishing

[@rick_inflorida]

Grabbed some of your pomp rigs at hooked up while I was there and wanted some redfish rigs to bring home with me, but they were out.

[@yoshikobori6305]

Wow, amazing! we can find pretty much the same species (at least i think their very similar) when surf fishing here in brazil (at least in central-shouth brazil beaches)

[@homebrew29453]

Thanks for the surf fishing tutorial. I'm going to try it next spring Couple questions. What rod holder do you use or did you make your own ? What color braid would you use in clear water or does it matter that much?

[@patwilliamson1218]

where are some good spots in gulf shores/ orange beach to try surf fishing for pompano as of now?

[@brandontimmons224]

i’m in gulf shores, this is all brand new to me. i jst actually went to hooked up tackle. any tips?

[@kprahayu4074]

hey brother... I like watching your videos and trying to put them into practice... but here fish like that only exist during certain seasons... Thank you brothers... Very good video 👍 Greetings from Indonesia

[@alonzonunez5037]

Ever any problems with the line coming off the roller on the staal with the rod spiked I was thinking about using mine for pompano

[@BamaSaltwater]

Never had an issue!

[@onthegreengolfco]

Im on the East coast Jupiter area like u said the beach changes, any tips if you can’t find a sandbar or if it breaking super close to the beach I usually just cast as far as possible lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

If it's very shallow and continues out very slowly, best bet is casting far or finding a small hole or cut

[@sushibrz]

Stephen. Is there a higher chance of catching pomp from the surf in April/May or around now, on Oct/Decembe? Speaking about the Destin/FortWalton/GulfShores area

[@BamaSaltwater]

100% spring time and fall are the best times !!!

[@SusanDugas-z2t]

Steve, I am temporarily in wheelchair but I bet I could do surf fishing...like your important cleaning tips

[@PolochAngriff]

Hey Stephen, what was the fish you said you should touch with your hands? Has an oil on it that is hard to get off? I can’t find it on the internet but remember you saying it in a video… going fishing in the gulf soon and want to remember that lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

It’s called a Soap Fish! Small, brown with white spots

[@PolochAngriff]

@@BamaSaltwater that’s it! Thank you sir! Love the videos!

[@Levi_Rodriguez]

You should do a shark fishing vid soon i rlly like those

[@scrappydog175]

Good channel!

[@mike8610]

What lb test is the leader?

[@wyoung3170]

Leave only your footprints behind!❤

[@SusanDugas-z2t]

Hi Steve me again just finishing your video

[@biopack5307]

Oh.. I see.. I was walking out as far as I can and then throwing it as hard as I can. Apparently that was too far. Thank you for the tips.

[@EricLong-t7q]

Hey buddy, we’re in town gonna be here till Thursday at hooked up Pete and tackle getting some shrimp and some apparel wanted to buy your sticker to put on my window on my truck. They said they’re out if you’re close in the next three days drop some off I love to buy some for my truck and my kids, take care buddy

[@BamaSaltwater]

Will do !!! Thanks for letting me know. Imma send some stickers with my brother when he goes in to work! Take care and good luck!!

[@Crider-ih2ir]

What's best time of day to fish?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Could be anytime~~ but when it's really hot out: the early morning and evening are best. When it's really cold, fish the afternoon high sun since fish will come shallower to warm up. If it's a full moon: fish at night or in the middle of the day. If it's high tide: fish marsh and grass banks. But most importantly, just get out whenever you can! The best time to fish is when you are available to fish!

[@gwc4020]

Hi Mom! Camera shy this time?

[@dayneholt4149]

Always look forward to family time😊

[@darrinsparks8119]

How might I speak to you without being public? I have a few questions that’s nobody’s business online

[@scorpio2686]

Well it does not matter if no fish got to go home with ya but i always say that a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at the office. Darn right buddy

[@ALEX-gy2cf]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@ratdaddy7774]

As always you a stand up brother in Christ Jesus,you are for real maybe the fishing wasn't that good but you posted it anyway,that's just how fishing goes sometimes😮😮 😮😮😮😮😂

[@iancaen2977]

Take a 10' Lews crappie jig rod, cut 10 inches off the rod tip, add a new tiptop guide...perfect surf rod for around 50 bucks. I've landed several 30-40 inch reds, big uglies, pomps, you name it.

[@deewood520]
