    I'm a recent subscriber. I love this channel. I lived in Atmore from 88-96 and continued to fish the Gulf Coast thru 2010. I was really into Alabama Gulf Coast fishing. Fished my buns off. I miss it. This channel has me contemplating moving back there from Atlanta, selling most all of my guitars and living out my remaining days modestly and quietly in the beautiful Gulf Coast sun. Love your videos!!!

I have done pier fishing myself and I do know about those tangles when someone lands a big fish,! I like the fact you show us how to cook the various stuff you catch. That mahi mahi cooked with those potatoes with sour cream and cheese looked so mouth warming keep up the great videos. I believe you'll go far. I'm praying so.

    @comfortablynumb9342 2 года назад +2

    Mahi from a pier is rare indeed. I've caught them on boats in The Keys and Costa Rica but never from land or a pier. I had no idea they come so close there. Very cool. I've never caught a chicken dolphin at all, even cooler even if they're not big. In Spanish they're called dorado and I caught plenty of 3 and 4 footers trolling near the beach in Costa Rica on the Pacific side. I lived near the border with Panama and the fishin' is pretty awesome there.

    I usually wait until the jacks swim under the pier before casting when they're headed west like that, the jacks hooked on the east side keep on going west under the pier, and the jacks hooked on the west side keep going west away from the pier.

    How on earth do you not get all tangled up fishing so close to one another? Cast in turns? Looks like so much fun.

    What’s your recommendations for some slightly off shore fishing, I got a 7ft Daiwa rod with a Daiwa laguna lt 3000-c reel and also got a 7ft penn rod and Penn fierce III 6000 rod. The Diawa has 50 pound braid and the Penn has 80 pound braid

    That is crazy!! I’ve never seen a Mahi caught like that. My dream is to go gulf fishing like that on a pier or boat

    Is that silver reel you are using during that blowup a ZeeBaas? Sweet!
