Absolutely love my Engel bait cooler. The basket that comes with them gives the shrimp something to hang on to instead of swimming non-stop and allows them to live much longer than just a slick live well. Excellent product!! Good work!
Simply put- your videos are probably the most fun to watch fishing videos on RUclips. Keep up the releasing of good videos and you will continue to be successful in growing your channel. Cheers from Michigan !
As someone who traveled to the Gulf of Mexico just camping and fishing along the way after I retired I felt that all those years of hard work payed off. Can’t wait to return again when I get that urge !!! Keep a tight line. Thanks again and writing from New England.
Watching on my laptop today instead of ipad - you have ads playing now ? Ok, big time ! Ha ha. Love the vids, bro. Hope to hit some surf fishing in OBA next weekend.
Same with flounder here in Tx from this year. MIGHT be my fave inshore fish to eat. Stuffed with shrimp n crab! But Sheepers are up there too. But Pomps,Whiting,Croakers,Specs,Reds,Smacks,Kings! Theyre all good haha
Almost drove down to the pier this morning.... Watching your videos is awesome. I love that you explain what your using as well as what regulations on keeping fish are here in Alabama. Only reason I didn't come down this morning is because it's a 3 hour drive for me and I had no one to go fish with. I know, sad face right? 😆 But I do wanna try that pier and beach fishing. You make it look like so much fun!
You and the Bum need to get together and fish. I think Brant and Ron has some kind of man love thing going on and I think it's really bumming the Bum out.
@@jacobchandler3443 folks have been doing this for decades. Collaborating on a mutual interest. You think Bill Dance and Roland Martin were told not to collaborate between them? I reckon not. They both promote so much together
How is the fishing late September from the Pier / The Pass / and the Beach? I am also looking for a Good Head Boat, what would you recommend? Thank you.
Nice now, got to set crab traps catch some blue crabs clean them and stuff the flounder with nothing but crab and butter salt. If you buy crab meat from blalocks its always too salty and is always a few weeks old.
New subscriber. From Austin,Texas. Enjoying your videos. Love the content and presentation, but LOVE the Christian "drops" (hope I read that right) and Patriotism. Thank you!
Great video, I’ve been there many times but never fished from the pier. When you fish at the pier, what do you look for to determine where you fish from or do you just try all around? Thanks
mono has been out a lot! longer than braid. braided line is made out of spectra fiber its was made in the 60's for heavy lifting belts for aero space. it is water proof uv protected and has 2.4% stretch. mono has been on the market since the 50's
It’s been a long, hectic year since the storm ate the end of the pier. Time is past to lengthen this stubby pier to its former glory. What is taking so long?
One time back in the 80's my parents and little brother and me were watching a guy pull in something big out on the end of this pier and it ended up being a smaller sand shark, and my brother tried to reach out and put his hand in it's mouth and my dad's "dad reflexes" kicked in and he grabbed him and snatched him back with a quickness.
I really appreciate the content and style of your vids and hope your channel grows rapidly....but stays on point like it is now. Some of the other channels I watch have increasingly become clown shows and pretty much focused on whatever will generate the most revenue at this point. I understand that, but IMO it ruins the content.
I topshot all of my reels with mono or flouro I like braid but it has no abrasion resistance and big fish in cover break off a lot more on braid mono can slide across that piling braid can not
Can’t go wrong with a Topshot. I usually have about 100 yds of 20lb Diamond or Momoi, especially fishing the clearer waters of the Panhandle. It definitely saves you when the king or ling shoots the pier . 👍🏼
And I usually don't keep any game or target species that measure right in the legal limit on flounder if they not 15 inches I don't keep Emm just my personal preference is all same with specks I like to keep them around 16 inches and 16 inch spec is not hard to catch off piers with a jig head and some soft plastic eels. I feel like winter time like October to Feb sharks are not as aggressive at the pier as during summer
Hi Bama Salt, been watching you for a while now. Didn't want to say anything before now lest someone think I am a hater. Pls get your hook sizes straight: size 6 is a tiny size , 6/0 is big. Normal pomp hooks are size 1/0 to 2/0. I use size 4 for sheephead, croaker, pinfish. I would send you a hook size chart if could figure out how to attach. Think of hook sizes like a number line, negative sizes are small, positive are 1/0 and up and get bigger. Don't worry. I will still be watching because you are good and i love watching your show. Cheers.
I'm pretty well aware of my hook sizes. thanks. I mean what I say in the videos. I'm using a size 4 treble for kings, NOT a 4/0. Same thing with my circle hooks. I like a size 1/0 for Pomps, Size 4 or 6 for whiting and bottom fishing. I've been doing this a while long before YT. IMHO, a size 4 for sheepshead is still pretty big, I'm a lighter tackle kind of guy. I like a size 10 or size 12 for sheepshead personally. I know how the hook sizes work, but I appreciate the effort in trying to explain things. Thanks for watching.
I swear on my life on everybody, my family’s life that I caught a 15 pound flopper There, and I thought it was a rock and it was scared of death since my dad friend let me borrow his rod and he said if I broke it then he’d kill me, but I didn’t know if he was lying or not because I was only seven years old so yeah
Even a slow day fishing is better than a day in the office!! Great video.
FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION, FIRST TEAM!
Absolutely love my Engel bait cooler. The basket that comes with them gives the shrimp something to hang on to instead of swimming non-stop and allows them to live much longer than just a slick live well. Excellent product!! Good work!
I love mine. My new ones have the basket, this one is an OG haha. It was purchased a long time ago when they didn’t come with the net insert .
Nice flounder! Love the videos! Thanks for posting! See ya on the next one.
Sweet home Alabama

Enjoyed it … keepm coming!
Thanks!

In Massachusetts I called them creek chubs and used them for fluke in cape cod canal

They live in florida lmao 🤣 😂
@@lowki4320 Yeah, Brant and Ron do live in Florida. The Bum needs an Alabama teammate.
I’m hoping Bum can get a chance to do a collaborative video together.
Those channels have gotten too far out there. Please don’t go that route.

Great video!! I am down here now. Love this area!

How is the fishing late September from the Pier / The Pass / and the Beach?
I am also looking for a Good Head Boat, what would you recommend?
Thank you.
Was at that pier a few weeks ago. Lot of Spanish Mackerel being hooked but the sharks got at least half of them. Really nice facility there.
NICE VID 🎣💪🏾
Looked like a beautiful day Bama. Thanks for taking us along. When will the end of the the pier be repaired?
It was a beautiful day for sure! And no clue! Probably gonna be a hot minute haha.
I heard by the end of spring this year, I miss it too
Love this guys accent
Channel growing fast! 🐟

Hey Steve, what type of knots are you recommending for braided line???
I use the Uni knot with 7-8 wraps or the Palomar. Works every time
@@BamaSaltwater thanks so much buddy really appreciate your videos and work

How do you cast those vanstall reels they don’t have a bail and I’m really curious
Hello
We just made it to Gulf State park.
Do we need a license to crab around here?
Was there a lot of sharks ? I went a few days before the cold front and there were a ton of sharks ,probably around 10 q5 sharks in 2.5 hours
Always lots of sharks around the pied. They’re a nuisance there for sure!
What kind of reel was this? I didn't catch what he said and I want one lol
First one is a Shimano Ultegra. Second Reel was a Van Staal VS 150 X Series.
It’s been a long, hectic year since the storm ate the end of the pier. Time is past to lengthen this stubby pier to its former glory. What is taking so long?
It’s going to be a big project, and it’s the state. Probably a while haha
Hey man do you know when they are going to get the pier fixed
No clue. Probably gonna be a while
I would like to know can you do a surf Surf Purch video on your beach areas and what you would use for this fishing trip

New here, what equipment do you use/recommend for beach fishing ?
hey man what about some catch and cooks??!
Soon! 👍🏼

Just curious how close is this pier to the nearest inlet/ pass?
TPWD has closed down flounder fishing from Nov.1 to Dec.15 to help with their recovery after the freeze/snow we had earlier this year
Any word on when there going to finish the pier?
No clue, they're still working on bids and waiting on stuff from Corp of Engineers last I heard.
I topshot all of my reels with mono or flouro I like braid but it has no abrasion resistance and big fish in cover break off a lot more on braid mono can slide across that piling braid can not

How do you get your live shrimp

As a veteran do you have to pay on the pier? They told me no charge because I was a vet.
$6 to fish , free to walk on
@@BamaSaltwater yeah. That day Janis and I were just site seeing. Didn’t think about that.
Hey Bro, I was Aco 1/8 Cav 1Cav 82-86 M1 tanker go mustang
Woo
I love fishing, but I can't bring myself to use live bait idk why. I feel bad for the minnows lol
I feel bad for all live bait I use 100%, but it's a big world and a cruel hierarchy of survival lol
@@BamaSaltwater 100 %
Is this gulfshores pier ?
Were you in the first cave
I was an 11B in 2ABCT, 1st CAV DIV. I was a Gunner on a Bradley
Young Sir, it’s surprises me you don’t like the number 13. After all, Jesus and his disciples is 13. I love all your videos

It was only one species FLOUNDER
.
"multiple species" when he caught 2...
Don't be a hater....Thanks for the comment. It really helps out the videos.
@@BamaSaltwater no prob, I would be a loyal viewer if you don't bait with false titles. Some food for thought
If you think this is a false title, then there's other channels for you. Thanks.
Stop talking so much
