Been watching your channel for a while. I'd hung up my rods for over 20 years after getting skunked numerous times bc of a lack of knowledge. Happy to report, I broke out the old kit & I used some of your rigs and tips on a recent trip: We averaged 1 fish per every 15 minutes!! My boys were thrilled, and caught the fishing "bug," really appreciate you and your channel for helping me get back out there and share a great sport with my boys. Hat tip from Texas!
I have to say that was quite entertaining seeing him trying to bite ya. I watched that part over a few times laughing 😂. I've not been bit by one...yet...but I'm sure it's coming soon haha.
Old Florida dude here. I fished A LOT growing up and currently don't have access to salt water fishing at this point, so I fish vicariously through your videos. You fish in very similar ways to the way I liked to fish back in the day, though we only had mono and wire leader, no braid. So I'm working up to going fishing again one of these days and learning the new gear and how to be a much better fisherman than I used to be. All the best to you and yours and thank you for the videos - I'm always waiting for the next one!
Steven thank you for the information and tips. My family and I very much enjoy all of your videos. God bless you and may your channel continue to grow.
Love all your videos. Gives me a taste of what I'm unable to do. Love the Catch/Cooks best but this was a fun one too. Thank you, from Ontario, Canada.
You’re making me cry sitting here in New England on a rainy night and watching this video. Thanks for explaining the equipment you are using “ Keep a tight line” and Thanks again
That Ricky guy just ain’t gonna let you be!! Great show, your commentary and interactions with Ricky and your Mom had us rolling with laughter!! Keep up the great work!!!
My husband and I watch your videos daily. He loves fishing and you have taught him so much. We are in Alabama 3-4 times a year and he is really trying to learn how to fish from the shore. Thank you for your heart for teaching and for the Lord .
Loved this video and your laugh. Yep, don't feed the birds, they will not leave and eventually attack. Sea Gulls are no different! Keep makin these great videos, I keep learning more each time.
This was an awesome video! I watch all your videos but often forget to comment. That pelican sure gave you a run for your money lol very entertaining! Seemed like you were having a bit of fun with him. And as always I enjoy seeing you fishing with your mom. I’m a mom of two sons around your age and I enjoy spending time with them too. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Nice video we get to deal with Pelicans over here as well. They like to sit on the barge with us as we are working. Gatlin and chief have a tendency to run them off
Love your content. We watch lots of saltwater videos before coming down for vacation. Your channel is the only one I watch year round. Keep up the great work.
I've been watching you for a while now and I get excited every time I see that there is a new video. My question today is, I have noticed throughout your videos as you transition to new gear and set ups. What do you do with all the other set ups? I am not really new to fishing but I have a cart full of the gear on amazon that I just can't afford. What do you recommend that would be a bit more affordable on a single household income of an LEO? I don't want gear that will only last one season, but I am also on a really tight budget. I do also want to thank you for your service and also for your acknowledgement of the good Lord up above in all your videos.
You started out fishing across the road from the sewage treatment plant,that's where those culverts come from,I lived not far from there for a few years before moving over to East fairway drive off Ft Morgan road. I'll be down there for christmas
What’s up Steven? Merry Christmas! Also my brother was in the army and learned how to salt water fish from your videos when he got out this past year. So thanks alot I’ve had alot of fun going fishing and stuff with him and it woulda been gay if we couldn’t even catch fish lol. Also you ever think about doing like fishing collabs with other UA-camrs like Ace or Fowlers makery and mischief maybe Luke from out doors boys. idk how realistic or if you’d even care for it but it’d be cool videos to watch to me
I use acme spoons inland, catch a bunch of bass and crappie with them. Maybe on one of your next trips could you use some. I'd like to see what you can catch with them in the salt water. :)
Those possums with wings will steal all your bait and grab a stringer with fish on it. Bless you for taking your dear mother out fishing Thanks for the video
Another good vid, love seeing what you guys can catch over there. I've been out fishing a few times recently but have seen barely anything bite worth eating. Tight lines as always!
@@BamaSaltwater Very true, that's pretty much how fishing is, you go out and just hope you catch something, no guarantees! Still always enjoyable though.
I used to know a pelican that was sort of an informal 'pet' of a charter boat at the Boca Hotel. He was pretty tame and the captain could hold him like a football and it would make noises like it liked it. 'Charlie. nipped me on the back of the leg once when I got between him and the fish cleaning table.
Steven, love the videos. Interested in your time in the Army. You wore I think a Cav hat in one of your videos. What unit? I was 11B transitioned to 11M. 21 years for me.
I'm coming down to Orange Beach this Friday and I am going to go trolling in some 500 ft of water with some Nomad DTX Minnow lures. Really want to land a wahoo but have heard that the fish are moving to warmer water. Any advice? Would love to see another offshore video doing somewhat what I am doing. Would also LOVE to see another Oil Rig and Tuna video but I know it is a risk going out that far. Again, somewhat know what I am doing but also don't. Take care
Hey Steven I am planning a fishing trip in orange beach in January, can you give me any areas to concentrate on ? What’s your favorite fishing in January? Thanks!!
Many years ago I was in PCola at my dad's cousins house, and they lived a couple of blocks away from the bay. I was bored so I found a poll and walked the 2 blocks. When I got there a man was leaving and told me he didn't get a bite the whole time he was here. He noticed I didn't have any bait, so he gave me when he had left. I put a shrimp on and casted out as far as I could. The biggest fish I had ever seen jumped out of the water and took the bait. I set the hook so hard it pulled it halfway to the shore, I'm reeling and reeling to get the slack up and get it in. It was an 8lb spec. I went straight back to the house, and everyone was amazed. Needless to say, we ate fish that night and had enough to have it for breakfast for me. I would say that's when I get hooked on fishing, but at the time I was about 10 years old going fishing without bait. 😁
I love the birds, especially the rescues. It's their home first. Usually I'll hang around and then move to avoid em haha. This one is a local menace these days lol
What type loop do you tie?? Just an overhand? Or something more technical?? I want to get my son on one of those big drums. We will be down from the 15th-23rd. Maybe we will run into you while we are in town.
I will be coming in January where is a good place to start. We will be staying at Gulf shores. Any help would be helpful. Would like to get those trout
So funny, old Ricky. Have a bone to pick Steven, the sizes of the long sleeve tshirt and hoodie start at Large. As a woman it would be gigantic. Really love the merch, especially the long sleeve tshirt but need to be more female friendly with the sizing.
Thise birds can be relentless. Dad had a 19 inch speck laying on the bank n walked away from it. Fred flew in from the otherside of the ICW snatched it up flew back across n proceeded to gulp it down. Made me laugh but dad was pissed😂😂
Man, I wish I had their eyesight for sure! Pretty cool, no matter how long I've been fishing among em, to be that close to something so smart and "wild" like that lol

Ricky the pelican ... cracks me up every time. lol
Brother, you are one of the most respectful people on UA-cam. Thanks for being such a genuine nice guy. Hope you enjoy your card from Iowa.
I appreciate that!!
I’m making a video with all of the cards and also sending mine out as well!!
Florida Pelicans are savage! Thanks for another amazing fishing adventure!
Pelican harassments a real thing
It's these Blue Bird Day Vlogs that gets the northern US & Canada through winter,
Many Thanks
I love when you fish with your mom. She's a real fisherwoman!
This is the funniest fishing video I've seen on UA-cam since bill dance! Ricky has me crying LOL
11:30, great 'footwork' around that piling! 🐟😆

Great video, Steven! You and Ricky make a hell of a combo! Truly inspiring!!! Stay Safe and GOD Bless!!
I love Ricky by the way that could be a male or female name. I loved how he was adamant about getting your attention to feed him. Too funny.
Haha ikr!! God Bless!!
Hope you and your mother are having fun on the beach 🏖 fishing 🎣 here
And have a wonderful Christmas, merry Christmas
You're making Ricky a famous.I like how smart Ricky is by returning the bait to you and probably hoping to get a fish.
Appreciate the shoutout 😂😂 God Bless you man!
Love the channel 💯💯
I love the shore fishing videos. Probably never get to take a boat out but I might be able to get to the water sometime.

Great video as usual!!! Thanks.
You’re killing it brother love your videos keep it up and keep them lines tight 🤙🏼
Ricky is a little more persistent than Fred. That bird had the heck of a drive. I'm glad you at least gave him a pinfish
I'd put Ricky up against any other waterfowl or shorebird we have here hahaha!
Love all your videos. Gives me a taste of what I'm unable to do. Love the Catch/Cooks best but this was a fun one too. Thank you, from Ontario, Canada.
Awesome content
You’re making me cry sitting here in New England on a rainy night and watching this video. Thanks for explaining the equipment you are using “ Keep a tight line” and Thanks again
Ricky just wants to see what you were making for dinner. I can relate. Always good content.
Ricky loves your channel too😊
Always enjoy your videos! That Pelican…was pushy! LOL
That was excellent action! Great video.... that bird was funny!
You're my favorite fishing UA-camr!!
Steve, that was so funny with the pelican. He wanted you to pay his fee for fishing on his tuff.
That Ricky guy just ain’t gonna let you be!! Great show, your commentary and interactions with Ricky and your Mom had us rolling with laughter!! Keep up the great work!!!
That pelicon was hilarious😂😂😂
I watch a lot of fishing shows and this one is my favorite. I always put my pink bama saltwater hat on while tuning in. ❤️😊
You and Ricky keep up the great content ‼️‼️
Love how Ricky's demeanor changes when the rod tip bends!
My husband and I watch your videos daily. He loves fishing and you have taught him so much. We are in Alabama 3-4 times a year and he is really trying to learn how to fish from the shore. Thank you for your heart for teaching and for the Lord .
I past you right before you started at 2nd spot! Fish on bud!! See ya around!
Loved this video and your laugh. Yep, don't feed the birds, they will not leave and eventually attack. Sea Gulls are no different! Keep makin these great videos, I keep learning more each time.
Stephen, "Ricky" man handled you! That was hilarious! Thanks for the great video! I hope you're doing well! Stay safe!
This week has not been kind. Sat down to catch my breath and decided to watch your video. Thanks to you and Ricky I got in a much needed laugh 😂
I'm glad we can provide some relief!!! Thank you for your support and I pray for peace, happiness, and good health!!

I love your videos, especially the ones with your mom!
thank you!!!!
Wow, the bird gave me the fish, continue fishing with my beloved wife, I hope you always have a happy day, my brother 16:49 👍🙏🙏
Ricky may be following you! that was a good looking trout!
Love your content. We watch lots of saltwater videos before coming down for vacation. Your channel is the only one I watch year round. Keep up the great work.
Love watching you fight the bird 😂
Love them Snappers, red ones are my favorite but that mangrove would do just fine on the pan.
That dang pelican! Lol you’ve got bird followers these days too Bama 😂
We enjoy watching your videos. We love going to Gulf Shores camping and fishing. That was so funny watching you and Ricky 😂 thanks for sharing
Good job bama man. Looks like lots of fun
I don't think you will get many if any ugly reviews! Your channel is one of the best on here! Tell your Mom I love her t-shirt "Hallelujah"

Man, i laught so hard about Ricky tying to bite you :D
And as German, i would love to see Dolphins so close in nature
Hahaha ! He is like my dog and wanted attention when I wasn't giving it to him lol
future video idea: show how to tie your setups! that double loop was awesome.
For sure!!
You started out fishing across the road from the sewage treatment plant,that's where those culverts come from,I lived not far from there for a few years before moving over to East fairway drive off Ft Morgan road. I'll be down there for christmas
Hey bam from San Diego California USA 🇺🇸
What’s up Steven? Merry Christmas! Also my brother was in the army and learned how to salt water fish from your videos when he got out this past year. So thanks alot I’ve had alot of fun going fishing and stuff with him and it woulda been gay if we couldn’t even catch fish lol. Also you ever think about doing like fishing collabs with other UA-camrs like Ace or Fowlers makery and mischief maybe Luke from out doors boys. idk how realistic or if you’d even care for it but it’d be cool videos to watch to me
Looks fun. Don't know if you on east side of Mobile Bay, or down at Orange Beach area..Got to bring grandkids fishing again next summer.
What's the going rate on shrimp down there...are they by the dozen or pound?
Love your content!
Funny video. Loved it!!
Merry Christmas dude!
Maybe you need to do a pelican catch and cook! HA! That was awesome! Great vid!
LMFAO , IF he bit my calve one more time.... jkjkkjk
🤪🤪🤪@@BamaSaltwater
You are really helpful and I want to do charter fishing businesses in Destin fl and you’ve been really good inspiration ps thank you for ur service
I use acme spoons inland, catch a bunch of bass and crappie with them. Maybe on one of your next trips could you use some. I'd like to see what you can catch with them in the salt water. :)
Ricky chose violence today 🤣
That was the most awesome video. I love that pelican. How far did he follow you to your car?
Those possums with wings
will steal all your bait and
grab a stringer with fish on it.
Bless you for taking your dear
mother out fishing
Thanks for the video
Ricky reminds me of a young Sam. Lol 👍🏻🤙🏻
That Pelican is a trip
Another good vid, love seeing what you guys can catch over there. I've been out fishing a few times recently but have seen barely anything bite worth eating. Tight lines as always!
IT can be really tough but just gotta be persistent there
@@BamaSaltwater Very true, that's pretty much how fishing is, you go out and just hope you catch something, no guarantees! Still always enjoyable though.
Awesome videos! I would be annoyed at the pelican lol

I love Ricky the pelican. 🎣
😂😂😂😂I love Ricky
i thought you got a bite but the pelican was taking a bite out of you 😂😂😂😂
Steven, love the videos. Interested in your time in the Army. You wore I think a Cav hat in one of your videos. What unit? I was 11B transitioned to 11M. 21 years for me.
So you’re using a 2 watt hook? I never knew they were electric! No wonder I never catch anything!😎😎😎. As always, thanks, Stephen and God Bless.

I would like to know what brand and model of fish finder would work really good on a 14-ft jon boat? Thank you Art
My grandson caught his first fish right there! Toadfish
Are speckled trout good to eat
Sunday upload!! 🎉

Steven,can you see the worms when you filet the fish,can you remove them all??
What do you recommend for tourists. My dad and I are avid fisherman and hunters. What’s the basic we need for fishing the piers or beaches
A Louisiana native fisherman the intercostal is a fun spot ( spots tbh!)
I love it, it's extremely underrated
Wow’ great brother , I like too🎉
Hey Mom ! 😁
Hey 👋
Lol you have way more patience with those birds, I always just shoo them off when we come down.
I love the birds, especially the rescues. It's their home first. Usually I'll hang around and then move to avoid em haha. This one is a local menace these days lol
I was just wondering do you do any crabbing
About Ricky, you give him a fish, you feed him once. Teach him to fish, you feed him for life!😉😉😉
What type loop do you tie?? Just an overhand? Or something more technical?? I want to get my son on one of those big drums. We will be down from the 15th-23rd. Maybe we will run into you while we are in town.
I think Ricky is the same one that came up to you at the house a few months ago.
I will be coming in January where is a good place to start. We will be staying at Gulf shores. Any help would be helpful. Would like to get those trout
That pelican was hilarious....he got your goat pretty good, but I'm glad you gave him something to eat....lol
