Fun fact: I took the pier photo in the video thumbnail while I was out in the boat in 2021.

[@alexbhill23]

I work for the City of Gulf Shores and I think it's pretty cool to see someone posting videos of fishing and enjoying our beaches.

[@heneedsomemilk2877]

I’ve never been fishing and don’t really see myself trying it in the near future but somehow these videos keep reeling me in

[@testickles8834]

Just think of it as another day at the beach with something to do besides sit around and toast like bread

[@colbybadeaux8499]

You oughta try to get into it bro. You never know might be your new thing.

[@tomnorman6279]

Capt. Steve: You have the best fishing videos!!! I always enjoy your fishing adventures. Keep 'em coming, keep on fishing!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much! tight lines

[@alabama_pinball]

Great to see FishBites join as a sponsor! Just picked some up yesterday.

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

It doesn’t matter if your doing surf videos or oil rig videos. Every time you go out the weather will be different and the fish you catch will be different. It’s always new content! Bring it on!!!

[@dawsoncolvert5894]

You dont need LUCK when your "HOOKED UP".

[@mikealcox4578]

Headed down this weekend. Cant wait to get a line in the water.

[@brucesquires3698]

Keep up the great work and instruction! You have become our go to Gulf Beach fisherman and we look forward to every posting you have. It was on your channel I first found out about getting Gulf State parking pass for veterans.

[@markmclaughlin2690]

Hope you and your family has a happy Easter

[@BamaSaltwater]

You as well, thank you.

[@CaptCollier]

Nice! Glad you could get out and find a few, I feel the struggle..that wind and dirty water has been making it tough

[@Joshua_Moore]

I agree I only got 2 heardheads yesterday it was horrible

[@dooley01]

My family and I love coming to the Alabama gulf coast. Love watching your vids and seeing places we have been. Hard to saltwater fish from Tennessee. Lol Haven't freshwater fished much since saltwater fishing its just not the same. God bless

[@markrowe2227]

Thanks for working so hard putting together content for us. I really enjoyed the video. The pass was ripping when you were there. Pompanos were quality.

[@joshallen1698]

Just picked up 4 of your pompano rigs yesterday. Gotta say, they're made really good!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Good deal! Tight lines to ya !!

[@salvadoraboytes6470]

Congratulations on your great job and your videos

[@billieyoung497]

I walked under that pier today..the one on the thumb nail....Im there NOW...

[@chuckfitzpatrick9147]

ST Crux. I’m liking this. All in all, well done. I’m there 30 days.

[@darrisb1727]

Get back on the boat to the floating rigs! Love your commentary wish I could explain to the camera that much keep it up!

[@jamespate6215]

As always like seeing your videos

[@mwork1988]

Thanks for what you do I was able to have successful fishing trips using the info you shared about tackle and bait thanks again !!!!

[@iBon1wheel]

I love catch n cooks, wish you would have done one with that sheepy

[@x1sirius]

good fishing man! good to also see friendly people on the pier!

[@TristanScience]

Nice pompano! Nothing quite like the Gulf Shores beach! It's great to live in Baldwin county!

[@Joshua_Moore]

Btw I went there yesterday and lost a mag popper on the right side of the pier in some black fishing net I was going to cut it out but the waves were to rough it should be on the beach now if u want it go get it

[@chadbrantley839]

Interesting reel choice.

[@travisash82]

I bought old/bad fishbites from Amazon, and they don't have the rights to sell them.. fishbites company replaced them ×2 even though I did not buy from them directly.. amazing company.

[@Ray56z]

Good mixed content! Beach pomp was NICE! Looked like a good pier trip, I've a love/hate relationship with piers at PCB. Pick difficult days like windy ones to help make them better-fair weatherers stay at home.

[@chrisfultz1528]

At least you got on a few,congrats on that🎣🎣

[@richnet12]

Been fishing the Little Lagoon Pier…. nice place.

[@williammathews6603]

Thank you!

Steve you have the life. I just wished I could caught fish when I go fishing

[@eddiewallace5272]

Good video, keep them coming ✅💥✌️

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Lol actually I had never seen a surf fishing video until I found you. Don’t be afraid your content is repetitive. It’s not.

[@sandrawallder9247]

Stunning view

[@justinM88]

That’s what I caught when I was there pompano was running crazy.

[@saltandsurffishing]

Using the same exact setup my mom caught a 14 inch pomp yesterday at the pier. Thanks for the content, we love your channel!

[@daltonjohnson3289]

I caught a 27 and 29 inch trout right where your casting from the pier on my boat they were blowing up on pilchards in the summer time

[@herbcounselorh7734]

Great video as always! Happy Easter! May God bless.

[@gonesalty]

Love your vids man fishin the same waters

[@RM-iy7xx]

Great video

[@tx.361fishing7]

I would love to fish with you !

[@stevendevereaux5640]

I use to catch some good specs at that spot on west beach when I lived in gulf shores.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Me too, caught some monsters there at night on big Croaker

[@stevendevereaux5640]

Use to go cast net huge mullet out there too.

[@stevendevereaux5640]

Funny to say because I have a mullet wig on in my pic lol.

[@donb4138]

I think pompano is one of the best tasting salt water fish.

[@BamaSaltwater]

They are tasty for sure

[@bradlawrence3400]

I’ll be down in Orange Beach first week of June. What do you recommend for beach and jetty? (What to catch and bait?) Thanks for the videos!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Almost anywhere can be good fishing in June!

[@mikehuntsmells]

Going out to do this today for sharks... gonna be fun Update: caught my first shark using a penn pursuit iv 8000 3oz sinker whiting and no leader

[@bretts7694]

I've been watching just about all your videos from beginning to end. Love the in-depth explanations of equipment, methods, and regulations. I'm traveling to Panama City Beach next week and will use all the things I've learned from your channel to fish the beach, pier, and bay. I would order some of your pompano rigs but I don't think they would be here in time. Any tips for cleaning fish while staying at a hotel that doesn't have any fish cleaning station?

[@peterphelps7969]

Fun videos , how deep is the water where you caught the snapper off of the seawall? It looked like you were throwing right next to the wall.

[@Madcatter67]

The new ramps are open by the wharf let's hope it eases up OB ramps

[@BamaSaltwater]

They're not open just yet! But really close. I hope so.

[@Madcatter67]

@@BamaSaltwater I thought the news this morning said open

Soft opening was on Sunday oarnge beach FB said but who knows around here lol

@@Madcatter67 They Just announced this "The Launch at the ICW is a huge success. It is located on the Intercoastal Waterway in Orange Beach. It is a boat launch, a park with walking trails, and pavilions for family gatherings and events. There are 8 restrooms. It is ADA compliant. It also has three launches and 150 parking spaces, including trailers. The Grand Opening will be Thursday, April 28. Governor Ivey will attend. Thank you, Baldwin County Commission, Skip Gruber, and Senator Chris Elliott for securing the Go Mesa funds to build the launch and park. The Launch is located on County Road 4 just west of the toll bridge in Orange Beach. IT IS TIME TO GET EXCITED!"

Is there anywhere in orange Beach or gulf shores where shark fishing is allowed?

[@BamaSaltwater]

The entire State of Alabama allows shark fishing (under certain procedures and common sense of course) except in the Alabama State Park (which is stupid in my opinion lol)

@@BamaSaltwater we are staying at the four seasons and the private pier is covered in sharks but the sign says 500 dollar fine for shark fishing. So any public beach allows shark fishing in orange Beach?

[@BamaSaltwater]

The Hobie Pro Anglers are awesome Kayaks. I would go to your nearest Hobie dealer and see if they have any that you might could "sea trial" or see for yourself. They're heavy boats, so they're hard to pick up and move but you never know until you can see them in person. (I am not paid by, nor affiliated by any kayak brand, so it's my own opinion)

[@TheGoblin27]

I like the videos you do and all, but today I heard you talk bad about some of the other local KZbinrs here in Gulf Shores. I just don’t get why you talk bad about some of the other guys especially Salty. Anyways Do you imma unsubscribe bc I just don’t believe in that.
