Quick suggestion: put a short line with a weight below the camera. You'll still feel the bottom but keep the camera out of the sand. I've also had success putting a trailing vane on the camera to keep it oriented while filming rivers and streams. Cheers
@Freedom Family oh - nice!
Cheers
Thanks!! Definitely looking into more stabilization
@Freedom Family its called an ROV, has excisted for many years
Put a go-pro mount atop a 1 to 3 lb., flat Lead, scuba diving weight. It will usually sit up right in the sand, and not move in the waves. Angle the camera to view the fish.
Quick suggestion: build a submarine and attach a 360 camera on it, fill it with enough fule to cruise around the ocean for a few hours, then post the footage for me to see. It might be very expensive but good luck.
And this footage was great, thanks
Nice "under the sea" footage. Shark appears to be a black tip but there looked to be some bulls too. Thanks for your hard work and effort to make us land based fisherman get off our butts and go 🎣...while the yard is in need of sprucing up. Remember...all work and no play makes for a dull memory. We need to give ourselves the ok to go fishing or hiking or whatever makes us happy. Plan fun in your day as much as you plan work and chores...keep it a balanced diet. You do this very well and it shows
. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Good advice! I need to heed it! Thank you!
Nothing better than some bama saltwater on a day you’re going fishing, can’t wait to see you hit 100k my man
Heck yeah ! Appreciate the support

So refreshing to watch a RUclips channel hosted by a guy who presents himself as a gentleman. Your positive and humble attitude are inspiring. We need more of this. Keep the fire alive!
Thanks for the kind words ! I'm glad I can share my experiences with you.
Absolutely!! I’m so tired of these guys acting like they’re on speed and jumping around hooting and hollering like idiots thinking they’re entertaining and they are nothing but fools! The subscribers have to be nothing but 8 to 15 year olds but the fools have a lot of em and evidently making big money and getting rewarded for stupidity!
No wonder the country is failing at a rapid pace! Keep doing what your doing young man. Your doing a fantastic job!!
Yes this was pretty cool , I enjoyed it and I'm not in to fishing ,
Excellent idea to drop a waterproof camera down on a fishing line to watch the fish and nearby sea life. I never thought about that as an option, but it seems very accessible compared to scuba diving.
I love seeing what's down there, it's incredibly exciting for sure!
That was so cool looking at those fish in their natural habitat ! Those piers will cut your line in an instant . Young man you always amaze me with every video you make ! Thank you for sharing .
You're right about that! It doesn't take long to break off. And thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them.
The "Name This Species of Shark" around 10:34, and I'm no expert, but it appears to be a Sandbar Shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus). That high dorsal fin and pronounced dorsal ridge are characteristic.
Wow, we have them here in Australia, apparently they're kinda territorial but also a vulnerable species
My first guess was a dusky. The dorsal looks like it's posterior to the pectoral, but it's hard to tell from that angle. The pec and the dorsal are very large like a sandbar though, so I'm seconding your guess on the sandbar.
I used to spend almost every Mon-Sat morning fishing (pre-Katrina version) on that pier during the summer. Saturday was a toss up the rest of the year since we did spend time in Magnolia or Bon Secour River on the boat. This was a great video. And a great stimulus to remember the past.
I probably only know about 25 percent of the fish that swim around the gulf pier but it is so cool that you did a video like this to show how those sheepshead eat off those pier pilings!!! Thanks Bama for a very educational video!!!
I love watching them underwater, I could do it all day haha, Glad you enjoyed it
It is always so cool to see wild fish in their natural environment.
Sushi on a plate. Does that count?
You mean man made enviroment
@@moleisrich1 IMO…anything submerged under a natural body of water, regardless of who put it there, belongs to them that live there. Such as a dead carcass…is theirs to eat if left there. I’ve come home to my house before and found food on my front doorstep from a neighbor whom I’d helped out the day before. I was very glad I didn’t need to go out and get anything that night. If someone built an environment in which I didn’t have to pay for, I’d be very happy indeed. Only, of course, there wasn’t anybody there trying to catch and eat me. 😂
Hi there! Hay cool vid RUclips diving under jetty Edithburgh south Australia I think you might like it.give it a try 🇦🇺🐨👍
These is my all time favorite channel. I wish that I lived closer as I would love to go fishing with you. I’m from S. Florida about 2 miles from Lake Okeechobee. I absolutely love watching the variety of videos that you put out, from surf fishing, gulf or Bay, pier, and I really like it when you drop your GoPro under the pier but I thought a few times that the sharks would win. Lastly, I appreciate you giving the Lord the glory in what you do….Keep Christ first!! Thanks again for the awesome videos!!
I want to come down and go crappie fishing at Lake Okeechobee. We live south of Jacksonville.
I’d go fishing with ya in Lake Okeechibee, next snowbird season, I live in Detroit Michigan
@@danielmckenzie6858 sounds good Daniel. Let me know when you come down and we’ll definitely have to go. I know a lot of good fishing spots.
@@patrickacox definitely, that’s my favorite freshwater fish to eat!
Always love videos from this pier. This is probably one of the best GoPro videos I’ve seen. Nicely done
Really cool video. U should definitely make more. Think I'm going to start doing this when we go fish off our boat. Some of the reefs and wrecks here in South Florida would be really interesting
I definitely have more planned for our area 👍🏼👍🏼
How could anyone say anything ugly about this channel???? I love the videos and the little kid laugh every time he catches something is fantastic!! hahaha
I've watched MANY fishing videos from Gulf Shores to Pensacola and this one may be my all time favorite. That was really cool.
That's awesome. I Love seeing what's down below.
Your video just popped into my feed. You're a really nice young man! And indeed, Yahweh is responsible for your blessings! Praise be!
I love underwater videos of fish and their habitat. I was watching your video on my tablet while on my TV the live underwater cam of the pier at Deerfield Beach FL was playing. Seems that however many fish are in the underwater videos has no relationship to how successful the fishermen are on the pier. 😂 Thanks for identifying the fish swimming by, I live a long way from saltwater.
It's very true! I have some diving buddies that say, when they're not getting bit on a hook, they jump in and still see plenty of fish down below, they just don't want to bite haha.
That's some of the coolest underwater footage I've seen in a while.. and all in one spot!
check out sailing sv delos for some amazing underwater footage

Hi RUclips diving under Edithburgh jetty south Australia you'll like it I reckon good luck!👍🐨🇦🇺 P.s Jesus is Lord! First video I ever watched of this channel. Hay also you might like white pointer sharks pt Lincoln south Australia.
Outstanding! You knocked it out of the park with this one!
Always enjoy the underwater footage! Thanks for risking your GoPro so we can see whats down there, Pretty Cool!
That's some great video!
So many times people get on a structure and automatically cast as far away as they can! Always worth dropping straight down 🇦🇺
bigger chance of getting line cut too
@@wildrynogames that's life...
@@andydierickx4346 life of loosing gear and not catching fish? cool story bro
@@wildrynogames *losing?
@@wildrynogames well if you're any sort of fisherman you keep them out of the woodwork 😉
It was cool to see how alive them pillars really are, great video as always!
It was pretty neat for sure. Thanks!
I thought for sure when that one shark came up to the go pro we were going to see what the inside of a shark looks like. I see you were using one of the Toadfish rod and reels. I bought one it's really nice and I like that they are helping to replenish the oyster beds. They seem like a very good company.
I had to pull the camera away from them multiple times, I can't afford to buy a new one lol. And I agree, Toadfish does some pretty beneficial stuff for the waterways.
Cool video. You should get a filter like this: "SOONSUN 3-Pack Dive Filter for GoPro Hero 8 9 10 Black Official Waterproof Housing Case - Red, Light Red and Magenta Filters - Enhances Colors for Various Underwater Video and Photography Conditions". I have them for my GP3 and they really enhance the clarity of underwater videos/photos. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Thank you for making an amazing video! I normally prefer to see things in-person but I haven't been scuba diving in forever so this is great fun. Besides, except for the Goby fish, I'd never be able to get close before they swim away. The camera is great for being non-threatening to them.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
How beautiful Mother Earth has such bounty. Thnx for sharing. Loved the sharks
Great work! It's no surprise the sharks come in for a look. Yes, they are naturally curious, but your camera is also giving off a minute electrical field that is different from the rest of the habitat.
The shark in question is defiantly sandbar. Look at the tall dorsal. Great video man. I love these underwater videos just alive with activity
😄 Spellcheck at its best.
That’s what I thought too, aggressive looking, but supposedly harmless, still nerve wracking when they are circling you and your catch when out spearfishing.
I think you're right. Initially I thought Galapagos but looks more like a sandbar now that you mentioned it.
I originally though dusky, since the dorsal looked like it's posterior to the pectoral. The angle of the shot made it hard to tell though. But the tall dorsal AND huge pec says it's a sandbar.
Thank you for your channel. I look forward to each of your videos. Your refreshing personality helps me stay sane in this insane world. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad you enjoy the videos ! Thank you much
I used to snorkel the piers, in PCB, when I was younger. And would see all sorts of fish. Never saw any shark, though!? That was way before I had my go-pro gear. I loved it!
You and a few buddies should scuba dive the pier, one day. Just watch out for all the fisherman! Stay underneath the pier.
Great video ! Congrats on 30k subs! Glad to see the channel growing. God bless!
Appreciate it !! You as well
This is absolutely beautiful. So cool to see these fish doing what they do best in their everyday life
Thank you. I agree, I love seeing them in their home. It's amazing how well they live in an environment that us humans can barely tolerate. Makes you appreciate our creator
Thanks for solidifying my fear of swimming in the ocean/beaches with the sharks.
my GF and I were in knee deep water mid west coast when a 7 or 8 foot hammerhead swam between us! interesting!
It’s not recommended anyone swim around or under piers for a few reasons. Current, fishing, and sharks. Fishing attracts sharks. 🦈
You’re swimming in their back yard. You have better chance at car wreck then getting bit by a shark tbh
What a fun video! Had a chuckle at the sheepshead being so casual about the camera. Looking into it like "oh....you again" :)
Dude those videos are awesome. Really cool to see under the water like that. Thanks!
Thank you for identifying the fish. I have heard of some of them but to see them in the water like that was cool, especially the huge school of fish. I am glad I found your video. Have a great week. God bless.
Yes! I love seeing them in their natural habitat. It makes you appreciate them much more. Glad you enjoyed the footage. Thank you for the sub.
Very interesting view. Been on that pier a few times and had never thought about doing that to see what’s there. Love the videos and as for the sharks... looks like the good old bull sharks. Thought I saw a black tip but couldn’t really be for sure.
Man, I was thinking the exact same thing with the sharks. Can't miss those broad bulls and the smaller one(s) I was thinking Black Tip too. Not really positive on either, but I think you are correct.
Definitely think one was looking alot like a Bull, the awesome close up of one really showing a longer nose and appeared larger than most black tips, and my feeling is that it was an Atlantic reef shark since didn't see a distinct black pattern on the top fins. Probably has several different names but just the bigger, farther traveling cousin of the typical little black tip.
The grunt communication between fish is well captured here. Thanks
I am a new subscriber and I can't stop watching your videos. My brother lives in Alabama. I am bringing my rod on my next visit for sure.
Awesome !! Tight lines
It’s crazy I’m from West “Philly” Philadelphia. I come from a terrible neighborhood. I was blessed and fortunate that I was really really good in football by highschool. My Uncle so happened to move to Alabama from Philly back in 2000. Alabama has some of the best high school/ college football programs so my Uncle Showed the coaches my tapes and they begged me to play for them. At that time ESPN was filming at the highschool. It was called Two a days. I was fortunate enough to get the chance to get out the hood. I was in Hoover, Alabama. I was So afraid and nervous to move down there because i expected the worse. Dirt roads, EXTREME Racism, all farming plantations, etc…. No it was Faaaar from my expectations. That was the BEST decision i could have ever made as a Teenager. It’s a TOTALLY different world from Philly, In a good way.. I met some of the best people down there, life long friends and memories. Sad part is I wound getting Two VERY serious injuries one year after another that the doctors told me i couldnt play football anymore bcuz it’s to Physical due to the multiple bone diseases I was diagnosed with. I said all that just to say I lived there for 2 yrs and never knew there were beaches out there until Years after i moved.I Def didn’t know about a pier in Alabama. Next time i go visit i’m most def going. I currently live back up North but i def have plans to eventually move back dow south. If not Alabama, back to Atlanta where i moved to for 1 1/2 yrs. after moving from Alabama. love the vids bro. keep working 🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Really cool that you include the audio. Thanks.
You really do make great videos with amazing content. Complete with educating your followers. I haven't been doing any saltwater fishing since I got a bas boat but, you are definitely encouragement for the future. Awesome work brother.
Thanks for this wonderful gift!
Great footage, I am impressed the camera was not just spinning round and round down there.
Love that you wearing my buds Steven's merchandise from Sord!
Yeah man! He's got a great company and I love using their products
Very cool! Always amazing how much life is right there under the pier. Thanks for sharing!
That was really fun to watch👍👍
Thanks for including species names and also liked you included the AKA
Love your videos man and this one was no exception im on gulf coast in MS but have been wanting to go to gulf shores and I think this is going to be my next spot when I get a new pier net
The curious fish were adorable. Good footage again!
The shark is a 'Pointy Toothed Nibbler' alson known as 'Bitey Ouch Die'
BTW: awesome to see under the peir
I caught a Blacktip off this pier 7 years ago. Many sharks here because fishermen are not allowed to keep them, you have to 'cut your line.' Great video!
That was really cool to see what fish are under water. I'm guessing that one shark was a bull shark and the other shark a black tip?
I love seeing those sheep's head.
I haven't seen the others do this.
Great job!!
The shark that nosed the camera looked to be a sandbar or bull. But the 1st one was defiantly a blacktip
We enjoyed the video and the Go Pro angle under the pier. It's always nice to see a "no drama" type video from our area that's just cool to watch.
Thank you , I'm glad you enjoyed it
It looks like it was a black tip shark. The darker color on the end of the fins. Pretty cool footage.
just saying dusky's have that same patterning I belive, but dont kow where they live but yeah I do kind of agree that it was a blacktip
Now that's a fish finder, not just a blip on a screen...Very cool !
hey Bama saltwater I've been watching you for a while and u taught me really good things. I also live in south Alabama and was thinking we could fish together its been a while and i would love to learn new tactics and discover more fish.
Very cool! Thanks for the view.
The name of the 3 sharks in order of appearance were, Bob, Deloris and Shelly.
No, no, no...that second one was Deloris' sister, Denise.
How do I know?
I'm Deuncle.
@@acerlazereye1232 Hahahaha
That was super kool seeing all the critters roaming around down there!!
Awesome video as always! Caught my first big ugly today on one of your pompano rigs. Held up like a champ!
These under water pier vids are so cool.
I love seeing what's below
As for the sharks, one was a bull, a sandbar, and I believe there's a lemon at the end. Almost thought Silke, but they prefer deeper waters and unless really hungry, are quite camera shy.
Terrific video. Love your videos and terrific knowledge bombs you drop. I absolutely love sharks and I'd love to free dive with a great white. They're vastly misunderstood and finally we're seeing videos of people who dove with white sharks without worry or free. Respect the ocean and it'll respect you back.
Sharks are puppy dogs. Bites are failed hug attempts.
I am fairly certain they were blacktips. Bull sharks usually are solitary and those didn't look as big or stocky as bulls. I was thinking sandbar or lemon as well but sandbar have taller dorsal fins and lemon sharks have much smaller dorsal fins. I was also thinking dusky but there are parts where u can briefly see the black on the fins like 9:52 10:36 and 11:05
Maybe there were more than one species but it didn't seem like it. The visibility was also not great and it was a bit hard to determinethe size, but that's what I got from it lol. And blacktips travel in groups as well.
Holy cow, that's incredible!!!!
You did an incredible job of controlling the camera from up above. Not sure how it didn’t just spiral constantly. You got some really great footage. Can’t wait for you to do this again on a clear sunny day or in deeper water like you suggested, or BOTH! lol
Good ol gulf shores, epic spot to take the kiddos fishing 😊
I’m no expert, but I think you had 3 different species of sharks there, at some point some looked like Black Tip, some like Bull, and maybe Reef Shark. It would be cool if a biologist or a shark expert could comment and make a positive ID of all of them. Very nice video!
What’s a biologist?
@@etbaby6967 What's a woman?
Wrong area for Black Tips, those are Bull Sharks
@@Cundalinis_Hand
I don’t understand the question. I’m not a Linguist.
@@clanger_6870 Wicked Sharks. Great fighters.
so many crazy things living on that piling. Tons of cool life down there. Nice job dude.
this camera can save someone a lot of time figuring out if their fish in your fishing spot.
That was just awesome. Man you sure are very observant and a quick eye. I saw the stuff you mentioned in a flash but much of it without still editing and that eye I would never have noticed. Pretty exciting to see it the way you bought it to us!
Great shark footage! Those appear to be blacktip to me(lack of black on anal fin) but I'm still learning how to ID. Do you ever use sabiki rig to catch bait off pier?
That's what I'm thinking as well. There's usually some spinners mixed in too. and I used to use sabikis all of the time (when the pier was whole)! Alabama also allows the use of the Ribbon Rigs as well.
Thought they outlawed the ribbon rigs. Maybe it was just Florida
@@glenperry8849 Florida outlawed Gill nets, which includes ribbon rigs. Alabama still allows it so far (unfortunately, in my honest opinion)
I think that was a silky shark. The white strip behind the pectoral fin gives it away. I’ve been wrong before. Lol
more like lemon shark to me.
Should Try To Put Go Pro In And Drop A Bait Right Next To Eat To Watch The Fish Eat It. That Was Amazin Ocean Life Right There ! Been Watch All Your Videos For 2 Weeks Now. Great Content
hey bama im a big fan and really look up to your content and your personality hope you have a great day and god bless!
Thank you for your kind comment
Great video, we come down from Michigan every year and can’t wait to get back on the pier
Man this is awesome thanks for doing this keep up the good work ! And was it a blacktip? I don’t have very much experiences with sharks other than ex wife.
You win best comment today
Throw in an ex- mother-in-law!
One of the best fishing videos I've seen.
Hi there hay something good to watch RUclips diving under Edithburgh jetty south Australia.youll like it I reckon.👍🐨🇦🇺
My wife and I harassed Bama while he was on the pier :)
I caught some pompano and she caught some spade fish. The sharks were unbelievable, there were ALWAYS ten or more to be counted & all of them were big. I caught a 12” flounder (not big enough to keep) and when I threw him back a shark came out from under the pier and inhaled it like a bass eats a minnow.
RIP lil flounder :(
It's shame for sure! At least ya'll caught some fish!! haha. It is cool to see them in their natural habitat though
Hammer Head Shark lol
That was a cool video, I love how you were having to yank out the camera really quick so the sharks didn't get too curious and decide to taste it.
Close.. definitely a Megalodon. But its cool, he's just chilling. 😚🦈
COOL 😎
THANKS FOR THE GO PRO FOOTAGE AND EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT FISH
Oh how fun !! Watching this made me feel a bit like Mr. Limpett :-)
How do you see all those sheeps and not want to throw down some fiddler crabs! Awesome content man.
Ready to see that new boat on the water.
This was fun to watch!
Miss them pier fishing days in the SF Bay area. Massive stingrays off the Berkeley pier. Now it's lake and river fishing on the Pecos, NM
The sheepshead are looking at the GoPro like, “Who’s the new guy?” LOL
ikr, they were not afraid of it haha
good opportunity to have a shark slam into the glass like the aquarium video..
If you tie a bobber on the camera to float separately it might help keep the camera straight by flowing with the current..
Bless you for the great footage. Very nice spot.
Glad you didn't loose the camera so we get to see the fish. 😁
Awesome footage especially like the appearance of the tax man keep up the excellent work love it
Alright...you got points for making it educational as well by naming all the sea life that was encountered. Great vid...keep making more sir!!!! Subscribed!!!!
Welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome footage of a place that's very interesting under the pier and thank you for taking the time to post 🤙👍.
Our vacation is starting this Friday at gulf shores for Sun and of course "FISHING"
Have fun!!!!!! Tight lines.
That’s awesome - great idea and so cool to see all the fish. Just goes to show that if the fish aren’t biting - it’s not because they aren’t there!
That's what a lot of my diving friends say lol
I watch a lot of fishing videos your the most interesting not gonna lie I love how you show wat setup man can’t wait till I get more experience nd fish like you down here in Miami
this is great! please do more 🐠 🦈 🐙 🦑 🦀 filming
Thank you!
Very neat!! And kinda creepy. Needs Jaws background music 😂😂
Haha, IKR. It wouldn't take long to get bumped if ya fell in
I cannot believe people actually jump off those piers after what you showed us
I enjoyed this video. Such an interesting view of an alien world. Your knowledge and love of that world is palpable. Cheers, from B.C. 🇨🇦
Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed that 👍greetings from England 🏴
Cheers 🤙🏼
Fisherman on the pier be man they ain’t no fish down there ! Hahahaha
Haha 😂
Awesome video!!!! Love the underwater footage!!!!! Great job!!!
Thank you!! It's fun to see what's down under
That was neat. I am a dedicated snorkeler and I haven't bern able to get into the water for quite a while. Covid plus arthritis makes it hard to do.
Wow sheepshead up so close! You nailed it! Great job!
It was cool how "unphased" they were to the GoPro , I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did
Cheers. You’ve actually given me a great project to try this year. I’ve already got the camera. Never thought of this idea 🙄
🤙🏼🤙🏼
