Another fun awesome video. What separates you far and beyond other fishing KZbinrs is your ability to educate others with tidbits such as how to gaff , free spooling and other tricks of the trade etc… showing your setups and sharing every detail helps us all be better fisherman. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy your videos but I usually learn a little something too…..Thanks

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much, it's always a joy being able to share the experiences that make it a successful trip.

[@bethelight2495]

Hey man. I absolutely love the Gulf Pier and have fished it for 8 years now and have been waiting for someone to start a channel specifically for that! Keep them coming man. I love them!

[@robgover8341]

There are numerous GSP pages.

[@gylwfishing]

I have never fished a pier, but it's shocking how willing everyone is to help! Gotta love the fishing community!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! pier fishing is a group community where most everyone is willing to help!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Appreciate the kind words 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johncline3033]

I grew up fishing the Gulf in Louisiana, then I spent 18 years in Minnesota fishing for a record bass. I found the easiest way to make a Minnesotan mad is when they ask why I moved up there I'd say, well someone had to come up here and teach you boys how to fish lol. The biggest largemouth I caught was 8lbs. I usually limited out on my way to work in the mornings. Now that I'm officially retired and back home, look out Grand Isle! Great channel, God Bless!!!

[@auvet1986]

I’ve been fishing Gulf Shores since the 60’s and love every minute of it. I just hope and pray they repair the pier while I’m still young!

You’re videos are always on point. I was down fishing in may and coming again in July. The June weed was thick but fishing was still pretty good. I got a small request if you’re down. Will you make a video of all the knots you use? Again thanks for the sweet videos man. Tight lines

[@BlueLines50]

Another amazing video great content absolutely love watching your videos, you have nice editing skills my friend 👍

[@Sinister_one]

I was just out there last week not much luck tho. Caught lots of sting rays at the beach house a couple pompano on your rig I got At hooked up. Also watch a shark go after a giant tarpon. 20 feet from us pull the tarpon ashore cause it was floating around us and took some pictures of it. It was a monster.

[@johnbailey4628]

Nice king!

It’s good fishing that time of year !! Tight lines

[@zacharyradford5552]

Atlantic bumpers and crazy fish are two different species. Bumpers are more round and have a greenish blue back with chartreuse tail and fins with an oil black dot on their tail. Crazy fish are more oblong and silver also Crazy fish have their stigma because they have a poison sack that connects to their belly horns and dorsal fin and causes pain.

[@bobk.1428]

Awesome video!!! The King is going to make someone some awesome dip

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes it will, the fellow I gave it too fishes freshwater and never caught a big one like that before. I'm glad he can take it home.

[@davidbester1017]

Really enjoy your videos. dying to go do some fishing. big hello from South Africa

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, that’s so cool ! Cheers and tight lines !

[@Donj171]

Used to do great bout 15-20 miles due south off dauphin island with a good chum and some ribbon fish. Loved getting into a school of kings or whatever would come along

[@stevepd1]

Love your videos. Thank you for acknowledging our Good Lord. He makes all of this possible.

[@brandonsides4589]

Looks like so much fun.. looks intimidating though

[@BamaSaltwater]

It is very fun! And can be anxious/intimidating. Just gotta remember everyone is out there for the same thing and most are willing to help each other !!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I love it! October is one of the best months for fishing (weather depending)

Great fishing I liked hearing the reels screaming, I'll try that treble hook and wire set up thank you.

BRET,HI,,,,, THATS a NICE SPANISH MACKEREL fry that sucker into stakes, Ihave NOTbought any I,n a long time 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@stripermanly]

One day I hope to catch a king Mack. Crossed off Barracuda (51”) my list a couple weeks back.

[@BamaSaltwater]

They're exciting for sure, both of those species. Except king , tastes just a little bit better haha

[@austingaines8387]

Completely agree with the crazyfish, people talk bad about them but I've had good luck with them, caught my PB 70 lb Cobia on one snapper fishing!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yup! They’re excellent , hardy baits. My favorite for Tarpon 👌

[@barrygerenski6259]

I caught a kingfish about that size on my brother in law's boat first one ever boy were my arms tired keeper too.

[@Bluesky5553]

Wish we could use treble hooks in Florida but we aren't allowed to. Very hard to catch some of these species on inline circle hooks.

[@austinmanney4146]

That beard is looking good brother

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank ya !

[@cookingwithh2o]

Hello Steven I enjoy watching your videos so much, which has inspired me to go ahead and make a trip down there and go fishing at Alabama State Park Pier this weekend. I'm making a trip all the way from Houston Texas just to get a chance to fish there. Do you have any tips that you would recommend on the tackle to use there?

[@randyidk]

What fishing rod reel and combo?

[@nightshadowroblox9382]

Where you get your custom pier rod?

[@joelandry865]

The next time you fish a rig fish the down current side usually tide pushes bait out

[@dulichion]

Quick question, so what fish do you keep and eat?

[@janinedraper442]

Wow how long was that king mackerel? It looked like it was fun catching. Why didn't you want to eat the king mackerel? It sounded like you were going to give him away to someone. That fish sorta reminded me of a wahoo I know that it doesn't have the stripes as a wahoo but it was rather long and bullet shaped. I'm looking forward to more fishing adventures please make more videos. Are you going to take the boat out? Just curious. I don't mind watching you land them on the pier. Looking forward to the next video. I feel I'm right there catching the fish. The Lord continue to bless you with fish and crabs and more people watching you. Janine Draper

Enjoying your videos! My son and I will be headed down this Saturday for a week of fishing. We’ve never fished this pier. Where do you get your fresh bait?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Normally J & M Tackle or Hooked Up Tackle

[@blackdog1234567890]

Hey great video. How much longer you will be able to catch Kings from the pier there?

[@BamaSaltwater]

We’ve caught them all the way into November, it all depends how cold the water gets in the fall 👍🏼

[@blackdog1234567890]

@@BamaSaltwater Thanks for quick reply. I usually go to the piers in Panama City and Fort Walton Beach but my buddy and I are now thinking about making run down to any piers in Orange Beach area during August or Septmeber

[@fishingwithjerrik7710]

What is your rod rated in the catch Spanish mackerel

[@BamaSaltwater]

7' MF

[@jacobpeace9214]

what kind of reels are you using to catch the big fish?🎣🎣

[@MrTelsonman]

I bet those jets were the same ones flying around destin the other day. Pompano were on fire. Using sand fleas.

When I come down in July I want to fish on cedar point pier. You think for us great viewers U could do a video there plzzzzz 🙏🙏🙏

I’ll try to get over there ! It’s good fishing there for sure

[@navalsealsnipersports1199]

Any idea when they’re finally gonna finish construction on the end of the pier? It’s been like that for ages it seems.

[@BamaSaltwater]

not anytime soon unfortunately

[@crispkillzyt5857]

Can u do some redfish fishing

[@ZazzleDazzle313]

@bamasaltwater, I'm from Tennessee and really big into bass fishing / freshwater catfishing. I'll be in mobile bay area in the next 2 weeks. I have alot of flukes, fresh water jigs, and crankbaits. What size rod and reel , line , and basic lures would you recommend for saltwater on the pier and what times of day. I'm happy to catch any species, would love to catch and keep. But I can fish at night too. Thanks, - Trent from Tennessee.

[@truswalch9743]

I live in mobile, you should get by with a mid rod 15-25 test line and shrimp or squid if you can

[@jaratt85]

This makes me miss living close to the ocean.. I was born and partially raised in southern Mississippi (born on Keesler, raised partially in D'Iberville) and lived on Guam for a couple years.. Living in the middle of Northern California where it's 2 hours to the ocean kind of sucks. I don't care what kind of bass you're fighting or running light tackle with a big trout.. nothing compares to saltwater fishing.

[@christopherbutler7603]

I’m in Foley & looking to get into pier/surf fishing. Do you have any resource for when species are in season and the requirements? Also what are some “must haves”?

[@BamaSaltwater]

This helps a lot with the size limits: www.outdooralabama.com/sites/default/files/PDF%20documents/Creel%20Limits%20B&W%20for%20printing_0.pdf . Also , must haves on the pier is a drop net and/or gaff (the net is extremely useful in bringing the fish up). Bring pliers, a measuring device, cooler with ice if you plan on keeping anything, a fillet knife etc.

[@justinj5665]

Favorite weight/size bucktails and pompano jigs on the pier? I’m planning on doing a FL panhandle-into Alabama road trip for straight up exploring and fishing, hoping to catch some cool stuff on the piers up there

[@BamaSaltwater]

I love 1/2 for smaller species and the 2 oz for bigger species

[@justinj5665]

@@BamaSaltwater thank you! From the videos I would have never guessed up to 2oz! I’m so used to using 1/4-3/8 and sometimes 1/2 oz in Tampa!

[@logan-28-1]

Just a tip they have unhookers for them so you don’t have to tutch them and if you don’t let anything touch them they’ll stay alive longer

[@dakotaladner2248]

Just curious do you get stopped by your DMR there for fish surveys there? I know in Mississippi we go to a bunch of the boat launches and piers and do fish surveys. Was just curious if you get asked for some answers.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes, they do surveys here on a few occasions

[@225Ceejay]
