The EASY Way to Catch Fish in a Kayak [Saltwater Fishing]

[@Karatosa]

I'm a OTR trucker, puts a smile on my face when I hit the bunk and see a new video pop up.I have to add, moved to FL 3 years ago.Your videos help out big time being a fresh water fisherman.Appreciate it.

[@ShhooterMcGavin]

Fishaholic, Lawson Lindsey, Ryan Morie and Landshark Outdoors are also great channels that are based out of Florida…

Stephen your positivity is truly special and I hope that people let you know that on the day to day. I think your great attitude brightens everyone's day here when they get to watch one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@BPhillips4gg]

I love the kayak videos. It's fun to chase all the big game fish but the quiet backwater is where you can truly relax.

Your fishing gear is fantastic. I loved your fishing, congratulations you are an excellent fisherman!👍🎣🥰 Hugs and happy fishing!

[@Allirys]

I really enjoy when you go bait fishing in the shallows and it is so quiet and immersive. You always have a lot of cool info about every waters. And I miss Mamma Bama. Thanks!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Happy to share!! Thank you!

[@jim7smith]

Well done, Stephen.... The storm was about 30 miles from us and at my house our only problem was no power for 3 or 4 days. At the farm, it took 3 hours of chain saw work to even get from the US 41 to the house, but no damage there, either except for one tree on the fence and still no power. Have to feed the generator monster every 12 hours.

[@pierrerossouw7035]

Got my dad to subscribe as well... We both love all your videos !! Thanks for the vids and all your efforts 🙏🏼

[@kosinparuchabutr4007]

Aspiring avid fisherman, been enjoying these videos and the explanation for your techniques recently, especially your catch & cleans. Love from VA.

[@FinsNSpines]

Love the throwback to the kayak fishing adventure!

[@adkfuller8163]

Love the stealthiness of kayak fishing. Great content Capt. Got my red fish hat! 🤠

[@TmoneyFishing88]

Half a blue crab tends to be best bull minnow bait.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Half a blue crab and keep the funnel holes in the trap even with the water line.

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Yes and yes

[@lmpbzkt1]

I’ve always used a fish carcass and that does pretty well.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

@@lmpbzkt1 fish works, but crab and crawfish work the best. You will open it up the bull minnows will be throwing up hunks of crab meat. They go crazy for it. No pinfish either.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely ideal when it's available!!

[@cahka24de]

This is exciting! I don't have a kayak but I just became a new owner of a paddleboard. I love fishing on it.

[@kedalemac]

Glad you got the yak back out! It's so peaceful out there. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@scrappydog175]

What a relaxing fishing hole you were at, felt like I was there.

[@racerx12003r]

Nothing like kayak fishing. I'm hoping to get a few hours on the estuaries of NC around Fort Fisher in the next couple weeks. It will be my wife's first time in the estuary. Thanks for inspiring me to take the kayaks with us on our trip. Maybe I'll be able to get some video of our trip. Thanks again.

[@minecraftyo-yo5906]

Best day when you post

[@olympialatimore937]

I haven't seen your mother lately. I love to see her fishing with you. ❤

[@ethankermish1056]

I love your videos man keep it up, my favorite fishing KZbinr!!!

[@leecampbell5736]

Glad you made it through the weather ok. This fall starting to look active in the Atlantic... fingers crossed you get to fish all you want...

[@auvet1986]

I enjoy your videos very much. You can tell you really enjoy what you’re doing. I also appreciate you giving thanks to the one who really deserves it.

[@billyhaney7836]

Friday another great video of my favorite tuber fisherman. Roll tide brother

[@jsullivan5823]

I've still got the barb from a huge ray my dad and I caught years back, thing is bigger than my hand! Thanks again man!

[@BamaSaltwater]

They are cool to preserve and see! That's a big one !

[@shinneneguns4815]

wooooooooooo always a good day when bama drops another banger on us, lets go Steven!!!

[@drumavenger83]

I was just in Navarre/Pensacola area and this is the fishing i was getting into. I found schools of fish but they were all preschools haha small fish were easy and abundant. I just couldnt get into bigger fish. I should've brought 1 big rod for throwing big live bait. Lesson learned. 🤙🤙

[@tracymeadows3442]

Nothing Like Kayak Fishing 👍🏻 Another Sweet Video Steven.. GOD BLESS YOU🙌🏻❤️

[@rhett720]

From one Army vet to another, love your videos, brother! Tell Mossy Oak I bought some gear after watching your videos! Wish I had the discount code when I ordered… will hook you up next time!

[@tommygoff16]

Glad you made it through the nasty weather from earlier this week.

[@liliannalopez-l7m]

I love your videos man keep it up, my favorite fishing KZbinr!!!. Love the throwback to the kayak fishing adventure!.

[@silvaorgold]

Great video brother, hope you guys did OK after the storms that rolled through. It didn't touch us up here in North Alabama too much.🎉🎉❤

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I am in northwest Florida and it didn't even rain.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Didn't do hardly anything here either ! Thanks !

[@theresters1]

GREAT VLOG!! HINT: TACK A TIN PIE PLATE ON THE ENDS OF YOUR PIER PILINGS, HELPS TO STOP ROT. POWER CO.S DO THIS...OR USED TO? LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, BUDDY!!

[@scottweidner1613]

Thanks for another great video 👍👍 Its always fun to see what you're catching.

[@justinM88]

Another great learning video thank you so much keep up the great work. Been watching for while now ur videos are so helpful and informative on everything saltwater fishing.

[@thorstenrusch8652]

I used to do this here in Germany too in the past. Unfortunately its no longer allowed here *cry* No life baits beside worms and larvae. Btw hope the storm didn´t hit you too much in Bama. Ty 4 your video as always! :)

[@davev8298]

Enjoyed the video. Have been wanting to try kayak fishing in the Orange Beach Area. Thanks.

[@reedo5150]

I use wet can cat food i make holes in the cans to catch mudd minnows

[@dleddy14]

Man you are like a sniper with that casting.

[@ashtonpippin3421]

Great videos I love all of them great content and thanks for explaining all you doo to catch fish and anything else..

[@stripermanly]

Great to see you mix it up some with the kayak

[@Zalbaugh355]

Hope you’re doing ok with all the weather down there man! Love from RI!

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

So cool catching your own bait!!

[@travissmith5525]

Another informative and fun video. Thank You Sir for sharing!🙏

[@BamaSaltwater]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hudsonharrison127]

Love the videos man keep up the good work

[@stephenfore4706]

Crush a live blue crab in your barrel trap, a trick my uncle taught me. we put ours out in Ingram Bayou over night, always full the next morning

[@Striperbass2]

nice vid as usual...lotta catchin, and thats awesome. Whenever I skinned a fillet, I 'd use a paper towel to help hold the slippery skin. Thank you!

[@michaellarkins6983]

Friend of mine is vacationing in Fort Morgan this coming week. What species are biting well inshore, either beach or pier? Are sheepshead biting at pier? Or wrong time of year. Best shop for live bait and other tackle? And I'd like to have him buy some of your pre tied rigs. Where could he get all that stuff? I turned him on to your videos. He said he might take a little 4 hour guided trip with his family. Do you do that? If not, who you recommend? Thanks brother. Love your channel.

[@thomasmccaffrey3955]

A big fan of your show

[@jasonbillings3574]

great Video Stephen!!

[@stevenleath2540]

A lot of times a fish will have hazy eyes not from lack of freshness but from chemical burn due to small amount chlorine found in most ice made for distribution

[@chadbrantley839]

Hey Saltwater! Every year we come down to Ft. Morgan with my boys to fish and I struggle to find live shrimp. Where do you get your live shrimp?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Typically Hooked Up Bait and Tackle, J & M Tackle, or Lost Bay Tackle. If none of them have it, it looks like I'm fishing with something else haha

[@williammathews6603]

yessir fun fishin,i know them rats are illigal but da sho good..good vid good info.staysafe..

[@reelhookcast5551]

Great video ! As always man appreciate you !

[@richardward9111]

I know that kings, cobia, grouper and blues from the gulf are high in mercury. Not sure about specs and reds but I know these can have worms along with drum. I'm very careful about what I catch and eat from the gulf and I'm sure that you are too. Maybe a video in the future about this issue and how you protect yourself and your family from excessive mercury. Thank you from 'Bama born in Texas.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

The worms can't hurt you if you cook the fish. They all have mercury, literally all the fish.

[@williammuzzey8404]

Yeah the tide matters Steven I've been watching your videos yes sir I was a kayaker too

[@kevink3690]

Hope the hurricane didn't affect yall too much! Thanks for another cool video!

[@BamaSaltwater]

They didn't affect us over here !

[@danmcalinden8728]

This is awesome , first I’ve saw ye Steve , fishing from a kayak ..woohoo

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Awesome as always

[@williammuzzey8404]

Is a crocodile spoon you know I caught a big flounder on a crocodile spoon I even use them when I'm out on the end of the pier casting for they love spoon

[@KalElvis]

Great job Fish Boy!

[@Shrimppimpfishing]

great to see you in the yak again brother!!

[@numbersletters3886]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@ferniea92]

Thank you for the tips 😎👍

[@pyron_outdoors359]

come fish with me in biloxi

[@BackyardEngineer334]

Bama, Question. I saw some Yozurri swim baits in Academy last week that look similar to a X-Rap but about half the price. Do you have any suggestions on a substitute for an X-Rap??? They’re a great bait but expensive as hell.

[@BamaSaltwater]

For sure! They work just as well. The H20 express lures aren't bad either, just gotta change out the hooks with some stronger ones sometimes.

[@williamjefferson3426]

Did you buy your boat new or used looks great. When I had a bigger boat it went faster and caught bugs in my teeth. Lol😂 I have 16foot skiff which is perfect for me now

[@Goodwill_Hunter]

Thanks for the adventures

[@christalley5346]

Probably the best fish I ever ate growing up was smoked croaker when I lived in Gulfport Mississippi

[@BamaSaltwater]

Tasty!

[@JamesEBraus]

Yeah buddy, half a smashed blue crab is the ticket for mud minnows!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely ideal when it's available

[@adamstevens3661]

Pro tip:don't ever hold a sting ray above your legs in a kayak. I did it once the sting ray wiggled off the hook and landed in the kayak and on my thighs and stung me multiple times. Sickening pain. I paddled to the shore and laced there for a couple hours sweating vomiting and dizzy with pain.

[@davidd8435]

Have you visited the tackle shop the KZbinrs opened up?

[@willsonmcburney8873]

Would your technique work with frozen or cut bait also? Or even artificial DOA shrimps?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely !!! Options are unlimited on what you can throw under a popping cork. Even a small spoon. Shrimp imitating baits are usually best

[@ashtonpippin3421]

Have you ever fished the west coast that’s where I’m from California pritty decent fishing out here...

[@BamaSaltwater]

I have not ! One day

[@bryanhuerta9578]

Good video like always 🇲🇽 🇺🇸

[@micalooch1]

Hey Steven, I’ve been wanting to do that in OysterBay at the end of the ICW. Ever fished back there, and is there kayak access?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Eh, kinda far but possible with a peddle drive.

[@williammuzzey8404]

Hey Stephen you know you can catch a lot of reds on that spoon you don't have to get the big one get the small one but the heaviest and I guarantee you'll tear up those red fish

[@williammuzzey8404]

Come on now Steven try that crocodile spoon you'll be amazed

[@mikegegg30]

Amen my friend

[@Lowcountryinshore843]

Need more kayak videos

[@BamaSaltwater]

For sure!! I love doing it when the weather cools down!

[@Jax-je2qc]

I love your channel❤️ I caught a 61lb black drum on 10lb test.! I’m 14 do you think we can maybe go fishing sometime?

[@gmanmurry312]

157 and counting, keep up the good work!! 👍👍

good vids love it!

Placing an old towel on your cleaning table will cease the sliding problem… Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida….

[@mitchmoore44]

Is this the ICW in OB?

[@stephenedavis7]

I like how you show you catching your own bait. It reminds me of digging for worms when I was a kid

[@lukeharmon4688]

Keep I'm coming

[@williammuzzey8404]

Hey Stephen looks like you hit a redfish nursery

[@williammuzzey8404]

Just remember when a redfish sees that shine going through that water he'll get it

[@andrewshevchuk2062]

what happened to your Hobie Outback?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Sold it when I got this Old Town, I like the PDL system better than the Mirage Drive

[@shawnfarmer1675]

What kind of kayak are you using?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Old Town Sportsman Bigwater 132 PDL

[@lukeharmon4688]

One a day would be nice

[@RayHall-yo8ib]

Crokers are good eating,, they are the brim of salt water,,

[@BamaSaltwater]

For sure!!!

[@danielbohannon302]

Do you have to register your kayak

[@BamaSaltwater]

Not unless you put a motor on it.

[@jp82cards30]

clicked your link to buy a mossy oak fishing shirt and entered your code it said "discount code isn't valid for the items in your cart" .. went ahead and bought it anyway but just wanted to let you know

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks for looking! I believe it doesn't work on "sale items' since most of them are already marked down. I checked it out last night and it worked on the items that didn't have a sale going on .

[@jp82cards30]

@@BamaSaltwater i thought it was something like that but the shirt wasn’t on sale and when i entered Deer meat for dinner’s code it worked

[@jp82cards30]

@@BamaSaltwater maybe it was on sale but either way something was up with your code, sounds like they got it fixed though

[@edwardlane9253]

Half crab/ poggy and put the trap in shallow water

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely ideal! This is usually my go to bull minnow spot but it just didn't happen that day

[@hooks210]

Is it every spooky to fish that kind of area with gators around?...

[@BamaSaltwater]

Eh, just gotta be mindful haha. *Most of the time, they don't like to be near you

[@JamesEBraus]

Next time you filet a red. Demonstrate how you like to clean the throat for cooking.

[@pfpublius]

Weirdest thing i foung in a fish stomach was the time i pulled a 7-8 inch eel out of a ground mullet.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely crazy seeing what they can eat !
