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.

[@EweCantHandletheTruth]

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

[@austinbarnard1521]

Joey Antonelli as well

[@alecscott653]

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.

[@taylorburklow1466]

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!!

[@renatobarbosa5985]

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!

[@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!

[@SuellenGoncalves]

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

[@adkfuller8062]

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

[@scrappydog175]

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

[@pierrerossouw7035]

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

[@olympialatimore937]

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

[@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!

[@tracymeadows3442]

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

[@billyhaney7836]

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

[@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]

[@tommygoff16]

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

[@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 !

[@dleddy14]

Man you are like a sniper with that casting.

[@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!

[@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. 🤙🤙

[@Shrimppimpfishing]

great to see you in the yak again brother!!

[@Lowcountryinshore843]

Need more kayak videos

[@BamaSaltwater]

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

[@user-sx2uo4yi2f]

good vids love it!

[@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

[@kevink3690]

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

[@BamaSaltwater]

They didn't affect us over here !

[@williammathews6603]

[@reedo5150]

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

[@pyron_outdoors359]

[@bryanhuerta9578]

Good video like always 🇲🇽 🇺🇸

[@danmcalinden8728]

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

[@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! :)

[@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!!

[@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

[@lukeharmon4688]

Keep I'm coming

[@mikegegg30]

Amen my friend

[@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.

[@mitchmoore44]

Is this the ICW in OB?

[@JamesEBraus]

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

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely ideal when it's available

[@williammuzzey8404]

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

[@gmanmurry312]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@davidd8435]

Have you visited the tackle shop the KZbinrs opened up?

[@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.

[@lukeharmon4688]

One a day would be nice

[@christalley5346]

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

[@BamaSaltwater]

Tasty!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@johndeaux83]

I betcha hit 200K Subs before Christmas 😊

[@shawnfarmer1675]

What kind of kayak are you using?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Old Town Sportsman Bigwater 132 PDL

[@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

[@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?

[@williammuzzey8404]

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

[@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.

[@apostlepaulvining5688]

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

[@robertwade1951]

👍

[@robertwade1951]

I subscribed, Amen 👍

[@danielbohannon302]

Do you have to register your kayak

[@BamaSaltwater]

Not unless you put a motor on it.

[@williammuzzey8404]

Hey Stephen looks like you hit a redfish nursery

[@JigginwithJoe]

Hey from Mississippi come visit

[@theFLshark]

Just cook the shrimp and call it a day. 😂

[@williammuzzey8404]

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

[@matthewblack7814]

What kind of kayak?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Old Town Sportsman PDL Bigwater 132

[@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 !

[@odong2fishing]

cool strike Greetings from odong2fishing

[@iridefast1]

🦐👍🏻

[@RayHall-yo8ib]

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

[@BamaSaltwater]

For sure!!!

[@JamesEBraus]

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

[@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

[@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
