Love my Toadfish med/heavy rod. Very versatile. Use it for bottom fishing as well as for casting poppers in the surf. Nice sheep. Great video!

[@ChewingToons]

Ive got same Toadfish too but IMHO it doesnt beat my St Croix Avid m/h and a m/l. I match the m/l with a Shimano Stradic 2500 and the m/h with a Penn Slammer 3 4500. Find they bring in 95% of my inshore fish.

[@robsuer4825]

You are not only a good fisherman your very informative!

[@joshmassey7566]

Nice catch, those were some nice sheepshead!! Last time I was down there fishing we fished on cedar point pier. That was probably 15 years ago. Last satellite shot I saw it was completely demolished by a hurricane I guess. Had many fun nights fishing that pier. Great video.

[@ronkeen4317]

I was just watching you fish in 100ft. Of water and saw you catch a 26lb red snapper. I have never seen a snapper that large . As I was commenting on the clip I was kicked off and could not find the clip again. I do enjoy your fishing clips !

[@jiml3922]

I'll have to try that setup. I've had good luck with a jig and is current rough I add egg weight to it . Like a knocker rig for the sheepshead..

[@JD-mv8tl]

Steve can you give a quick break down explanation and/or a video about the use of braid, monofilament, and flora-carbon line. When to use each under the right circumstances and type of tackle is best when used. That would be greatly appreciated. Again man I really love the videos and what you stand for buddy. Keep up the awesome work

Yes! I definitely plan on doing some technical type breakdown videos!

[@that_one_fisherman6916]

Use mono and braid when your bait floats, like top water frogs, use fluorocarbon when your bait sinks

Bro it looked like you caught those first sheep head on a different set up?

The wind noise messed up my audio on that portion to explain, yes. I was using the drop shot rig for all but one that did break off in a snag and I had a Bird of Prey Knocker Jig in 1/2 oz tied up for that one.

Hey Brother, great video. Watching these videos have me wanting to move down near the Gulf Coast to go fishing all the time. lol. My MOS school was in Pensacola back in the day but I did not get a chance to fish as much as I wanted. Maybe soon. I am debating on the Texas, Alabama or Florida coast. I was set on the Houston TX area because of jobs but now that my job is remote and could always be remote…I think I can go anywhere. Any recommendations?

[@lukeprince7690]

What about frozen fiddler crab what does work

[@BamaSaltwater]

They can, but they get really fragile unless they are blanched.

I'm in the same boat with the oceanity but you need to try the 2 /0 3/0 oh oh'shaunasy VMC huge fan I fish for a living commercial in winter off shore charters in summer and fall and when I tell you that I have literally used and tried every hook I really have and I'm not sponsored by them I wish I was. Anyway VMC can stand up to my abuse and my clients abuse so try you won't ever go back I promise for everything marlin to whiting on the beach. Grays in the reef tiles in the mud flats in 3000 feet to swords trust they are the best hooks for every occasion. Good luck and tight lines

[@MATTZ_WRLD]

At the beginning of the video when u said it is sometimes hard to get bait this happened to me and my grandpa when we went fishing we went too 15 different bait and tackle stores that where all out of any dead or alive bait so we went too some sketch one by the bottom of a bridge turns out it had just got loaded with shrimp which we really only use tbh and people said it was an amazing day to fish, so I had a competition with my grandpa and I won 11 fish to 2 fish.

Sheepshead are some really good tasting fish!

[@mikeschneider8574]

Hey man. Any clue what was killing all the big redfish last week? I was at Ft. Morgan all week and couldn’t catch a thing on artificials. The bay and point was littered with dead big reds.

[@BamaSaltwater]

They haven't found a really answer. Mr. David Thorton (aka Pier#'r) shared this information he found: ** From AL MRD FB page: "On Sunday March 20th, the Marine Resources Division began to receive information on a fish kill event comprised almost exclusively of adult red drum. Reported locations of the dead fish ranged from Point Clear and other locations on the Eastern Shore to Fort Morgan, Dauphin Island and Grand Bay. It is difficult to determine the cause of this fish kill. We contacted our partners at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Alabama Department of Public Health to determine if the fish kill was a result of a harmful algal bloom. Our partners had collected water samples last week and determined their samples indicated low counts of organisms which have been known to kill fish. The fish floating in the water or washing up on area beaches are in advanced stages of decomposition which makes it challenging to conduct any pathological examination. The dead fish do not show signs of entanglement in fishing gear and waters in Mississippi were not open to purse seines and waters in Louisiana were open to a small fishery in western Louisiana. A fish kill consisting primarily of red drum is not unusual as Alabama has previously experienced red drum mortality events in the spring but those have typically occurred in late April or early May. There are currently no health advisories for consumption of fish, but it is always a good practice to thoroughly cook your catch. If you catch a large red drum with lesions or observe a large red drum with abnormal swimming behavior please collect it, immediately store it on ice and call Marine Resources - Dauphin Island: [phone] or Gulf Shores: [phone]."

[@aprillove8765]

I can't help but notice, that big one is a smoker, maybe a coffee drinker. What ever he is he should have brushed daily.

[@chadcoulter8854]

Great videos, Coming down to orange beach at the end of next week, staying at perido beach resort. Will the jetty or sea wall by the bridge be the best place to take my kiddos? Thanks for the info you have provided

[@Madcatter67]

The seawall under the bridge and the jetties are good spots just be careful on the jetties it difficult to navigate

[@Madcatter67]

Try fishing straight down against seawall fish hangout underneath the wall

[@BamaSaltwater]

I fish that seawall all of the time! Red's, Flounder, and Sheepshead are good targets this time of year from the seawall. But it's not impossible to see big specks, bluefish, and later in the year, big Spanish! Ya'll will enjoy it.

[@b.p.879]

What are those structures for that you're fishing beside? Are they to protect the bridge from impacts or just for people to fish from?

Those wooden barriers are there to protect the main bridge structure from impacts (runaway barges, collisions, etc.)

What is the difference in chop in the mobile bay verses the gulf? Looks like they are calling for rough seas this week so the bay may be fair game if it isn’t too rough.
