best fisherman on youtube right here!!!!!!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Love the support, thank you much! I just love fishing and sharing the experience !

[@incognito5986]

I’m glued for tackle descriptions and use. Im trying to get a setup thats good for inshore and close to shore in the gulf. Having setups for 3 people ( my wife, daughter and myself) i don’t want to carry 3 setups for each of us. Two at the most, but prefer one, and another of the same for backup. Recommendations gladly accepted!!

@@BamaSaltwateru should really think about taking people fishing on ur boat to earn extra cash for the channel

[@johnsmith2136]

@@BamaSaltwater hey, why cant you eat a fish if its out of season?

[@stellar--.]

@@johnsmith2136 it's against the law since some species have a regulated season, and if you keep an undersized or out-of-season fish, you could be fined or have your license taken away for a given amount of time i believe

[@waynec2611]

My brother and I just got back from Oranage Beach. We watched a bunch of your videos to learn how and what to fish for. Thanks to your videos we had the best fishing trip of our life. We caught a ton of spanish mackerel, several pompano, a couple sheepshead, red snapper, mangrove snapper, spadefish, stingray, and whiting. Thank you for your great videos.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Heck yeah, glad ya'll got on em!

[@theHOONeybadger]

Love the fact that you always keep it real and down to earth. Seasickness can happen even to the most experienced fishermen and even though I'm not one of them, haha, I will agree that seasickness absolutely sucks. The best thing that works for me is either candied ginger, or ginger hard candies. Good job for making the most of it and sharing it with all of us!

[@DirtMacGurk1]

When I was in the navy stationed on Whidbey Island I watched many khakis get sick on the ferry.

[@tomlaw2913]

been sea sick 1 time on a liveaboard dive boat for 3 days. only felt better while diving. love your content. you are blessed to have your mom fish with you.

[@larrymcgill5508]

Couple things for sea sickness I’ve learned quite a few after decades on the big water. For Dramamine or patches, if you initiate them the night before going blue so they can work much better to get the drug in your system to calm the inner ear. As a sailor on USN faster movers in the day, the cooks always served up heaping portions of greasy spaghetti for lunch to keep your innards lubricated. Worked fine. If you’re underway, munch down on a box of saltines and Coca Cola to soak up the suds in your tummy. Getting sick on the briny is nothing to get upset about, it happens to us all. Just prepare for like anything else and keep on hookin’.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

I would never have thought that greasy food would help, but you're the second person to mention it...

[@jg-kd5hy]

Take the Dramamine B4 you go out if you know it is going to be rough, taking after you start feeling bad doesn't help. I'm sure you know that already. Navy here, I never got seasick when I knew we were going into rougher seas, because I always Dramamine up. It is all about how you see the horizon, and how your body adapts to the change of dips rolls and upheaval. The only time I thought I was going to hurl was on a coast guard cutter doing radio testing as a contractor in 6-foot swells 100 miles off of St Pete doing steerage way speed in a radio room sitting with face in a fan at high-speed trying not to hurl. I didn't', but man! As soon as we got done, I ran to the flying bridge to see where I could puke, once I felt the wind in my face, and got fixed on the horizon, I started to calm down the puking sensation. Exhausting for anyone to go through. It will bring any woman or man down! Good on Ya "ship mate" jim

[@mondo851]

Captain, you're living life the right way. Those locations out in the Gulf and/or inshore are beautiful, and to be fishing with your mom is a blessing. Great videos. By the way, I got seasick once, and I wasn't even on the water. I had an inner ear infection that affected my balance pretty badly, one day. Waves of dizziness came until I became really ill. I took Dramamine for it later that day, and that helped. It never happened again, but that one time was brutal. ...

Really good episode. Thanks for sharing!

[@BamaSaltwater]

It's a terrible feeling. Wouldn't wish it on anyone !

[@turkeybird7679]

I am disabled now, but I used to religiously fish Deep Sea Headquarters out of Port Aransas Pass in Texas when I visited relatives in the Corpus area. We had a few trips where the seas were 5-10's, and that cured me from ever wanting to go out in those conditions again! To stop the sea sickness, we nibbled on sandwiches which is what the captain recommended, and it staved off the illness quite a bit. One big ole fella lost his cookies on the concrete deck and made for a nasty mess. That's what finally did me in and I blew my oats after that! LOL Never forgot that particular trip because I won the fish pot with a 25 lb. yellow fin jack while half sick!

[@phila8905]

I remember wanting a good authentic fishing video not too long ago and I found your channel. Pretty straightforward but still extremely entertaining. I love all the info you give from the bait all the way to the rod. Watching your vids makes me want to bay fish so bad 😅. Too bad I only live by lakes but they are still good. Keep on making videos! God bless. Love from Texas.

I don't get seasick ever, but there was one time out in the gulf out of Venice, LA. We were by the jetties catching white trout and a few mangroves and I just got real seasick, so I sat down and drank some water. We were gonna head back in but then I started to feel better so we went out to the rigs and actually caught our limit of red snapper and some redfish! so glad we didn't head in (got a nasty sunburn though!) love your content man!

[@anthonymurphy2540]

You and hood fishing r the best!!

[@brewstamacbeth981]

I spent three weeks sea sick on the first trawler i worked on up in the gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia. After three weeks of spewing I finally got my legs. We would re-supply and unload out at sea, so unless you had a engine or other mechanical break down we would be out working for 8 months. the skipper wouldn't stop unless i got comatose, finally started to enjoy myself after a month. That was a hard time. But I stayed on the boats for a few years.

[@MattyPattyFormula]

pcb jettis tonight, enjoy the rain this weekend!

[@snakebait5118]

Stephen, I am the king of seasickness! Went out on Lake Erie when I was a teen, on a 26 ft cabin cruiser and we hit a storm out there. We were on our way in and I was laying on the roof puking green stuff that I never ate. Then, the engine quit. Krikey! After about an hour, the boat owner finally got the engine running again and we came in. It was a bad day!

[@tommygoff16]

I carry a jar of candied ginger and a few ginger ales . Seems to help me when I feel seasick.

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

Been seasick twice in my life, first time I stuck it out and stayed fishing, second time I recalled how miserable that first time decision made me, so I go headed in and fished from shore. Glad to see you did the same!! Nice sheepie to finish the day!!

[@joelmitchell4289]

my mom has the same thing, but it always affects her. She has to take dramamine to go out on a boat everytime, but it helps.

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

@@joelmitchell4289 I usually don’t get seasick, but there were two times for some reason I did. I also found that rubbing just behind the ears can help when they onset occurs. Also natural equilibrium level makes a big difference, sometimes equilibrium can be affected by blood pressure, hydration levels and other things. I am glad that Dramamine works for your mom or at least helps. Seasickness can ruin a day quick!!

Always a pleasure to join Captain Stephen and his 24 ft bay boat!! 😁🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

You are definitely right about eating sail cats.we got into a herd of them on the beach when we were down there two weeks ago. I made my wife stop putting them on ice after she stuffed the sixth one in the cooler cause I didn't want to clean any more than that😅

If you fish enough you will get sick. I've been sick in the bay anchored up with 2ft swells, just pull up anchor and start moving or in the summer you can jump in and instantly the sick feeling goes away. Love your content brother.

Put a swimmers ear plug in one ear it helps with the sea sickness it fools the brain from motion signals and prevents sea sickness! Love your videos man!!

[@jasonshaw4572]

Years ago I fished out of Sportsmans marina in orange Beach. When someone on the boat got sick we put em in the water. Within a matter of seconds the sickness was gone.

[@nickmarangos2475]

@@jasonshaw4572 Yes putting them in the water stops the motion in the head, it calibrates the body and the seasickness goes away, but if the water is very cold it's a problem. People that get seasickness are not on the water a lot The more they go on the water the more used to the motion their body gets. In time it gets less and hopefully it goes away.

[@17losttrout]

Ginger and ginger tea helps with motion sickness. It helped me when I was gliding - certainly I lasted a lot longer before it kicked in - if at all. It has a good reputation.

[@CaptainRew]

You could have totally never mentioned the sea sickness. But you did because you're just a humble normal dude. And if anything, you just made someone who has experienced the same thing feel better about the situation. Maybe you drank too much the night before! lol cheers dude. Keep fishin'.

[@alightsblog]

Watch you all the time from Ecuador. I wear a Scopolamine patch when I go out. Never been sea sick when I have a patch on. Can’t find them in Ecuador so when I run low I come back to Tennessee. The circle hook is the secret. I catch twice the fish than my buddies. They will catch on one day!

I agree!! Lot's of folks definitely judge them without trying em! Thank you!!

[@sanguinembwun6475]

@@BamaSaltwater the only difference between gafftops and freshwater catfish is the freshwater catfish have a taste of mud when cooked because the majority that people buy in the store are farm raised! Gafftops live in constantly moving water and eat other fish, crabs, mussels, oysters, ect all day long rather than the waste at the bottom of a stagnant overcrowded pond like the freshwater catfish do!

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

Best thing to do if you are not a conditioned seaman is to just stare at the horizon and sit down for about 15 minutes. It goes away once you stare at the horizon long enough. Your brain should balance out after a while. Cool catches. I should be out there filming some episodes in late spring, got idaho bass fishing to attend to for a week starting tomorrow. After that some more salt water trips on the boat and then Texas in late spring and Florida in november. My year is going to be filled with fishing from all over the u.s

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

I've been seasick before, and found that puking over the side of the boat really helped (felt much better after that, LOL). What I usually do for nausea, is to eat mint ice cream (or ice cream sandwiches), or gummy candies (like gummy bears or gummy 'blackberries and raspberries'). These have never failed, for me, when I used to have regular nausea (not sea sickness related).
