I guess i'm a fish because i'm hooked to this channel. I check for new videos to keep current and see what's biting! The knowledge you share, the technique to use, and the calmness of your videos make for a relaxing time! Keep it up!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you for the kind words!!!

[@marklaracey6714]

Just subscribed, liked how you explained your setup! What knot do you use to connect your leader to the braid? Looking forward to watching more of your videos @

[@BamaSaltwater]

@@marklaracey6714 I appreciate it ! I use a uni to uni knot for my line to leader!

Man I love your channel. I love how even though your not sponsored, you still link them bc you care more about us catching fish than money. Just a great community right here. Keep it up

[@BamaSaltwater]

Love it! Thank you!

[@tykeener]

One of my favorite things is that you show exactly what you are using to fish. It helps me out so much to get an idea of what to use in certain situations.

[@fishmanlord7460]

I always love how you list the regulations when you keep a fish! Smart, responsible angling helps all of us :)

[@maxpinson5002]

Truly a blessing with some delicious fish right there. I can almost smell me cutting up some onions :-) Yessir ree Thanks for the video

[@BamaSaltwater]

You know it! Glad you enjoyed it

[@b.waynegiven9786]

You're an amazing example of what a sportsman should be. I have fished all my life and I'm 70, my fishing and I have fished together 40 years. I hope to visit your area one day; bucket list item. Thanks Stephen and may God Bless us all.

[@funyunmaker3182]

That is a awesome fishing hole, you can't beat some fresh fried specks and a blackened red filet for supper.

Youre awesome man. I live in magnolia springs area and do lots of fishing close to weeks bay. We catch similar fish inshore but youre inspiring to watch. Youre a great guy with great tips. Its always positive energy radiating from your videos with a sense of conservation, which is so vital for our young ones. My 10 year old and 18 year old nephews follow your page and love your videos as well. Keep em coming brotha 🫡

I love your videos, your catches are always amazing, congratulations you are an excellent fisherman very successful!👍🎣🥰❤️ Hug from the fisherwoman from Brazil.

We call stick fish , timber trout in North Fl . No limit and the bite is always on fire 💥💥

[@boeboe2924]

What depth water were u fishing in?

[@BamaSaltwater]

2-10 feet

[@theresag9901]

Wow I just found your videos - Top Notch I'm Loving them. Thank you!

[@lipripper187]

You were in a school of them bc if you look at the water just underneath your reel at like 12:43 when you say "that's another redfish" you can see 2 of them clearly below the surface swirl and take off on the complete other side of the boat from the one your fighting

[@allenandmain]

We catch a few tree limbs also;thanks for sharing

[@BamaSaltwater]

If you don't, are you really fishing? haha!

[@allenandmain]

@@BamaSaltwater we keep looking for ya , we catch ya one day ,we come down from Brewton when we can

[@loveniacannon3302]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@fishinfool3795]

You caught a tree pounder! 🤣😂🤣😂 Watching you catch specks makes me think of catching walleyes. Both of those fish are delicious.

[@Juan-bz8uu]

That was a great video and a great fishing day. another thing that I like about your videos is that You always thank the lord 👍

Resembles an easy to get baitfish perfectly. I'm sure Largies/Smallies/ Stripers would love it

[@jaybelcher2922]

Love the channel ! I fish Gulf Shores and Orange Beach two or three times a year. I have never fished the creeks and canals. i wouldn't even know how to go about finding fishable waters there. Keep up the good work.

[@RacetotheReel]

I've only been fishing saltwater for about 2 years now pretty heavy and I was wondering how do you find beaches that have decent fishing cause I live over by venice florida but I can't seem to catch anything other than just small bait fish. So if you have any advice I'm all ears.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Look for deep cuts just off the beach along with rip currents. Otherwise, keep at it, the odds of more lines in the water at a given time can increases chances of catching some good fish. Never overlook bait, birds, or drop-offs. You can have the best bait, but not being where the fish are, youll never catch anything.

[@ericlarson3629]

Thanks for another entertaining production!! Great content. Glad your channel has continued to grow. Awesome stuff

[@claylyons8160]

Another great day...thank the good lord up above!

[@kellymchenry1944]

And thank you for giving prays where it should be.

With all that bait around you could throw a rock with a hook on it and the fish would bite it!!! Another excellent vid. Thanks for posting.

[@MSPWebs]

In South Dakota we have lakes that over the last 40 years have grown in size and have overtaken roads and fields… fishing at Lake Thompson near DeSmet SD.( Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote many little House books about the area.) Anyway, trolling for walleye a while back I had what I thought was a huge hit. It was wobbling in the water…. Chasing side to side…. Then I got it up. Was a straight six foot section of barbed wire that I hooked dead in the middle and it wobbled in the water back and forth like a fish. Yep, a barbed wire stick fish. You asked for stories… that’s mine.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha! That is pretty crazy. I'm sure it was fun until you saw what it was. My buddy ended up in the ER on Ft Hood, TX after getting his calf opened up on some C-Wire for about 12 hrs lol. Kind of ironic that was in the middle of the lake. Thanks for sharing

When I first moved to the Indian River Lagoon a couple years ago, I was super focused on high action baits but I’ve since found little/no action baits like the lil john to be so much more effective. Especially fished slow with a twitch twitch pause or the pop pause like you were doing. Just came across your channel - great stuff and new sub!

Hah Hah Caught a many one of those stickfish myself. Some were real trophies. Really prolific fish throughout the GOM states
