I absolutely love this video. Some of us don't have a boat. Some of us spent a lot of time fishing without a boat. I know I did Great look into your way of catching inshore fish from the bank.
@@BamaSaltwater I agree. Can't wait unit I can move to Florida full time. I'm ready to be on the water full time. Like you I share a military background. I have family in Alabama and I've done some contract training in Anniston. Any hoot. Great vid. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hey I’m a long time viewer I remember when you got in trouble by coast guards I watched it when it was seven hours ago. When you caught that lizard fish you said they have teeth and might need braid. But fun fact I was jigging in Manteo NC. Lizard fish can’t bite through 5 pound test. But yes lizard are kinda creepy and have teeth. So when I found out I was jigging off a dock with a half ounce red eye jig head and curly tail white jig but I’m only ten so I was kinda mad cause I was fishing for trout , red fish , Flounder and black drum. And so these lizard fish got me mad cause where flounder was the was a school of lizard fish. But that same day caught a nice red off that same dock so kinda can’t complain. Thank you mr.Steven for your service.
This is my kind of fishing. So peaceful out there. We got some nice fat trout hanging around the grass beds before sunrise, down here in Baffin Bay, Texas. They will make your drag scream. Love your videos, broski. Cheers from S. Texas.
a flyfishing tip that i take to traditional fishing, specially if I'm doing catch and release is to crush the barb... it makes the de-hooking much easier for everybody the fisherman and the fish. Just my 2 cents, and yes if you where wondering its still a very secure set and rarely the fish get unhooked.
Thanks for your great videos and would love to see you come and fish Choctawhatchee bay. I'm trying to catch speckled trout, but I keep getting skunked every time. You are doing so much better than I am. God Bless and Thanks for making great fishing videos.
Great video you never know what going to come around the shallows.. Quick story I was fishing overnight on the beach in moriches inlet I had weiders on and I was standing where the waves broke on the sand the water at best would climb half way up my shin.. 3am its pitch black a rouge wave crashes far over my head it hit me hard to this day I feel like it might of been carrying a log, thats what it felt like and by the grace of God I managed to stay on my feet and it wasn't easy but you can imagine what that would of been like no one would of seen me and the weiders would of immediately filled and sank me in fairly heavy water.. Cheers
Thanks so much! Learned something new about mono. It has been great watching the channel grow from when I first found you when you had less than 5k subs. Keep up the great content.
Great stuff, love your videos! Wish I could fish saltwater all the time unfortunately Im a bit far from the ocean but at least can watch your videos haha
During the holidays i went wading in the baltic sea and tried to catch flounder ( without success) but this video reminded me of the great time i spent with my grandparents .I really appreciate this content!
Nice catches there. I just heard we here in NC just had a record breaking speckled trout caught. If I read it correctly, it was a hair over 33 inches. Also, I would like to say I'm glad you caught that needle fish and explained it. I was fishing the ICW here in NC last month and kept getting bait popped by some of those. Couldn't get one hooked, but I barely saw it and thought, "A gar out here?"
I fished the banks in Venice Louisiana this morning using just a popping cork a jighead and some shrimp caught 2 legal flounder, 13 reds that were too small to keep and some bait fish that we kept for future trips
Nice video man! also do a bluefish catch and cook i can give you my great grandmothers bluefish stew recipe (can also use any type of porgy like sheepshead or triggerfish)
@@BamaSaltwater Well: Can of Tomato sauce/broth (not pasta sauce or whatever. also, you can make your own) 1onion 2-3 potatoes (small or big) Garlic Cloves and bay leaf Whole bluefish (good size one for like 2 people or you can use 2 fish if you want if you would like to make sure you use equal amount of porgy if not using blues) *BLEED WELL* spices and seasoning place fish into a shallow baking dish about same height as fish season fish as you would like (use chef paul's or old bay and anything you would like. get creative) throw some garlic and bay leaf into the fish (as much as you like) cook a diced onion on the with a little bit of olive oil until translucent/half cooked place them on and around the fish place potatoes around in dish (you can use baking potatoes or those little, tiny potatoes just make sure the chunk of potatoes will cook along with the fish without the fishing getting overdone) pour tomato sauce up into dish leave a little part of the exposed (like 80% covered in sauce) throw it in the oven to simmer until fish and potatoes are done! Optional: when it's done you can broil the top of fish if you want the top to be crispier this is the way I was told the recipe it was not written but i asked my mother and grandmother and they both described it this way. maybe i got somethings wrong I'm not good with writing recipes lol. I call it the long island stew because we got 4 things: Porgy's Bluefish Flukes and old Bay lol. well, if you do make it i hope you like it man! Thank you, lord, for everything.
Thanks for all the help. I just moved to the area and caught my first ever Spanish mackerel on the gulf state pier using the exact setup you showed in a previous video (med-heavy rod , 4000 size reel, heavy mono leader, gotcha plug). I’m taking notes, you better look out or you won’t have any fishing spots to yourself!
Even an oral surgeon would have had trouble with that needle fish !! You need to get some sun on those feet ;-) As usual, a very well done video. Thank you !!!
Can I pick up a large T-shirt at hooked up bait while I'm down this weekend. Don't want to pay shipping lol! Love the videos thanks for the hard work to make it happen!
You've got a fan/subscriber from clear across the country up here in Washington State. I lived down in Florida for 18 mths (Jr. High) in late 60's when my Dad got assigned to work on the Apollo Space Program. I remember fondly fishing the Indian and Orange for many/most of the fish you are catching. If I wasn't in school I was out in our little 12 footer fishing. You bring back some awesome memories of those younger years. One question; I remember having to worry about wading barefoot because of Stingrays, is that not a problem where you were?
That's awesome! Welcome to the Channel. Yes, we have a lot of stingrays, I just shuffle my feet and really walk slowly to let them scurry away *in theory*
Heading to Fort Morgan at the end of the month, would you suggest surf or across the road at bon secour to do some fishing…I don’t have a surf rod, would be using inshore setup and artificials….thanks and really enjoy the videos! God Bless!
Hi Mr. Bama Saltwater, quick question, do you know if it’s flounder season in Alabama? Here in NC it is but just wondering if it’s a year round season or just a small month wide season like NC. Google is giving me different answers left and right.
Would you be willing to give us a full tour of your boat? Rough idea of price you paid for it as well? I think your size of vessel would be great for me to start with just need that more detailed info if possible
I tried a baitcaster one time, by the time I cleaned up the resulting bird's nest I lost interest! Maybe you should do a video on how to cast one of those dang things LOL.
Hi Stephen! great video as always! I was wondering how that squall performed since there's not many videos reviewing it, much less in action. Been really wanting to pick one up for myself since I have lots of saltwater around me and I loooove the baitcaster feel!
Curious as to to what knots you use going from braid to your leader and on the lures/hooks themselves? I’m struggling getting a good knot from my braid to flouro leaders.
I’ve looked at a lot of saltwater videos on UA-cam and I must say once I started watching you I stopped watching the others. Great job every time. Keep up the great videos 👌🏾💯👌🏾
Just lk the way you break everything down even all the way down to cleaning the fish. I do alot of freshwater fishing for pan fish but I’m very interested in getting into saltwater fishing
I asked a question on an older video but you may have missed it. I saw a Jones and Frank van on that video and asked who works for them. I worked for another equipment company and I'm very familiar with that company.
![Fishing my Backyard Pier for Giants...[Epic Results]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pg7P4WU6snc/mqdefault.jpg)
Seriously… this guy’s videos are the best fishing vids on UA-cam. How does he not have more subs? Let’s pump him up.
Yup!!!
You look like you lost weight, I like the rod you are using and the glasses look nice...how's that for pumping him up?
😂
Seriously the best. I have been watching for years and just asked if you did wade fishing and boom a video from a year ago showed up.
Cool fishing video! Love the channel. Definitely most underrated UA-cam angler out there! You deserve 200k subscribers.
Always a good time for biscuits and gravy... cool assortment of fish... I'm jealous 😫
I absolutely love this video. Some of us don't have a boat. Some of us spent a lot of time fishing without a boat. I know I did Great look into your way of catching inshore fish from the bank.
I love it, it's how I was raised and is still my favorite type of fishing. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
You are a great fisherman and teacher
3:53 pm. Always look forward for your awesome videos. Brattleboro Vermont loves the Bama Saltwater fishing vids.

I love how much we all learn from your videos

simple fishing is good fishing
My only hope is you're an Alabama football fan. I grew up in alabama just outside Birmingham. Love watching you.
Thanks for your great videos and would love to see you come and fish Choctawhatchee bay. I'm trying to catch speckled trout, but I keep getting skunked every time. You are doing so much better than I am. God Bless and Thanks for making great fishing videos.
Its cool how flounder can vary in color, very cool video
Great videos, the guy is very knowledgeable!
Could you do a Full "Pier Fishing Guide" video, i would Love that!
He has some targeting different species. Mackerel videos to sheepshead.
Great video as usual Capt!!!Nice specs!!!
Thanks!!
great job on the video. keep living your dreams and taking us along. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
Thank you!!!
Ahh yes. How I love to start my morning!
Awesome video man! Wade fishing is my favorite way to fish. Those were some nice specks.
Love your videos, and your attitude about fishing. It's also so nice to enjoy your day of fishing when I don't get to go. Keep up the good work! 👍
Love you Bama your my fishing inspiration, keep it up man.
Appreciate ya bro
Never seen you use a bait caster. I’m like 1 month old to your channel so you probably have used it in your video but keep it up, love to see more!
I enjoy your channel. Good content, no bs. Well done. Thanks. New sub.
I really like this guy
Just saying you're way way way, way more better than the local clickbaters I'm not talking about bearded Brad
Thank you for your inspirational videos. Your enthusiasm and attitude are heart warming.
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
best vids ever

When flounder are smaller than fingerling, they have an eye one each side. As they grow the eyes migrate to one side, top side of course.
New video just in time for me to watch while I cook!!
Man when I see a new video I can’t open it fast enough. Great job man
Appreciate that !
Thanks so much! Learned something new about mono. It has been great watching the channel grow from when I first found you when you had less than 5k subs. Keep up the great content.
Thank you, it's awesome. Appreciate ya sticking around
Great stuff, love your videos! Wish I could fish saltwater all the time unfortunately Im a bit far from the ocean but at least can watch your videos haha
Happy for all your success man. Love the video as always. You have a gift. You should rename your channel the "Croker King."
During the holidays i went wading in the baltic sea and tried to catch flounder ( without success) but this video reminded me of the great time i spent with my grandparents .I really appreciate this content!
Look forward to your vids Bama. Thanks for sharing.
Nice catches there. I just heard we here in NC just had a record breaking speckled trout caught. If I read it correctly, it was a hair over 33 inches. Also, I would like to say I'm glad you caught that needle fish and explained it. I was fishing the ICW here in NC last month and kept getting bait popped by some of those. Couldn't get one hooked, but I barely saw it and thought, "A gar out here?"
Yeah, needle fish suck, whether in the line, on a hook, or in the cast net. Gar will live in brackish water, and even saltwater.
Another entertaining and educational video.
Great video👍👍 I love wade fishing!!!
Inspirational 💯
I fished the banks in Venice Louisiana this morning using just a popping cork a jighead and some shrimp caught 2 legal flounder, 13 reds that were too small to keep and some bait fish that we kept for future trips
Nice! Hard to go wrong with that combo!
Best videos. Does Bama Saltwater do fishing excursions for people like me who are learning to saltwater fish.
Love these videos.
Awesome video Bama. I love wade fishing, but the stingrays are baddddd
Nice video man! also do a bluefish catch and cook i can give you my great grandmothers bluefish stew recipe (can also use any type of porgy like sheepshead or triggerfish)
For sure! Post away: !
@@BamaSaltwater Well: Can of Tomato sauce/broth (not pasta sauce or whatever. also, you can make your own)
1onion
2-3 potatoes (small or big)
Garlic Cloves and bay leaf
Whole bluefish (good size one for like 2 people or you can use 2 fish if you want if you would like to make sure you use equal amount of porgy if not using blues) *BLEED WELL*
spices and seasoning
place fish into a shallow baking dish about same height as fish
season fish as you would like (use chef paul's or old bay and anything you would like. get creative)
throw some garlic and bay leaf into the fish (as much as you like)
cook a diced onion on the with a little bit of olive oil until translucent/half cooked
place them on and around the fish
place potatoes around in dish (you can use baking potatoes or those little, tiny potatoes just make sure the chunk of potatoes will cook along with the fish without the fishing getting overdone)
pour tomato sauce up into dish leave a little part of the exposed (like 80% covered in sauce)
throw it in the oven to simmer until fish and potatoes are done!
Optional: when it's done you can broil the top of fish if you want the top to be crispier

Good luck to ya!!
Can I pick up a large T-shirt at hooked up bait while I'm down this weekend. Don't want to pay shipping lol! Love the videos thanks for the hard work to make it happen!
Great video! Keep up the good work 👍
I catch all my flounder on artificial baits. Specially spinner baits with a Z-man electric chicken minnow.
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello there from your friends in San Diego California
Sweet! Thanks for watching
Yo, I would love to see you fish with some gulp shrimp sometime.
Would you recommend using braided line on a 5 bearing, medium to light tackle bait caster real: and if so, what pod tes?
Hi Mr. Bama Saltwater, quick question, do you know if it’s flounder season in Alabama? Here in NC it is but just wondering if it’s a year round season or just a small month wide season like NC. Google is giving me different answers left and right.
We have an 11 month season here in bama! November is the only month that you Can NOT keep Flounder! Good luck
Hello from Daphne Mr. Franklin !!!!!
Thanks for tuning in !
Lizard fish is snook candy
Would you be willing to give us a full tour of your boat? Rough idea of price you paid for it as well? I think your size of vessel would be great for me to start with just need that more detailed info if possible
Will be down week of the 8th. Let’s do some shark fishing. Maybe caught some reds on the point. Can meet lol
I love your videos
Appreciate ya!!
I'm 61 years old and I was raised on sausage gravy and biscuits. I can eat that 24/7
I agree ! haha
Are you gonna sell hoodies for the winter ?
I tried a baitcaster one time, by the time I cleaned up the resulting bird's nest I lost interest! Maybe you should do a video on how to cast one of those dang things LOL.
Practice practice practice practice
practice practice. And when you
get through practicing, practice
some more. You'll get it.
If I can, anybody can
Hi Stephen! great video as always! I was wondering how that squall performed since there's not many videos reviewing it, much less in action. Been really wanting to pick one up for myself since I have lots of saltwater around me and I loooove the baitcaster feel!
Where are you at here? Mobile bay, Perdido? I'm in Elberta. Is this close to me?
Curious as to to what knots you use going from braid to your leader and on the lures/hooks themselves? I’m struggling getting a good knot from my braid to flouro leaders.
Normally Uni Knots or Palomar . If you use a Uni Knot in Braid, make sure to do 7-8 loops.
You sound like you’ve got a cold or something hope your doing ok love the videos
I'm watching the video, it about 9:08pm here in Puerto Rico but why is Foam at the shore
14 inch flounder I would love that 18.5 in New York
Where in the world are at? Wolfe, Weeks that the water is that shallow
I’ve looked at a lot of saltwater videos on UA-cam and I must say once I started watching you I stopped watching the others. Great job every time. Keep up the great videos 👌🏾💯👌🏾
Appreciate the kind words man !
Just lk the way you break everything down even all the way down to cleaning the fish. I do alot of freshwater fishing for pan fish but I’m very interested in getting into saltwater fishing
Would you recommend the Penn squall bait caster for fish like flounder/halibut??
I think it would work great for flounder and the larger size for Halibut
Where was this at so I can come get some those two /trout
How are you liking that reel? I want to put a saltwater baitcasting setup together, but there are so many options. It's hard to decide lol.
I thoroughly enjoy using it, even over my Curado K's
@@BamaSaltwater awesome, thanks.
What was the rod you where using with the penn squall
It's a St Croix Premier Casting Rod 7'0 Medium Power Fast Action
I asked a question on an older video but you may have missed it. I saw a Jones and Frank van on that video and asked who works for them. I worked for another equipment company and I'm very familiar with that company.
I used to work for JF as a Petroleum Technician after I got out of the Army.
@@BamaSaltwater That's cool. I have worked in the petroleum equipment field for 30 years and still going. I knew you looked like a pump technician!
