Mall cop. I was thinking of taking my nephew there this week. Guess I'll keep fishing on the Okaloosa. 47 years fishing on piers from the Outer Banks to the Gulf. I've never seen a mall cop tell a fisherman they couldn't overhand cast with a plug. Brad you are a gentleman. You handled it better than I could have.
That's the part of being a professional. I grew up fishon the navarre pier. I've seen plenty of people get hooked that way. The pros always look behind em to make sure no ones around. But... it's a fishing pier. There's danger out there for everyone walking and fishing. And if that guys feathers got ruffled over that he may wanna find a new career. Out there making himself look like a goofball.
I would rather someone overhand cast . Sideways people next to you. If you arnt fishing dont go around people with poles. This whole world just wants to create issues because they don't like somthing . I mean they even have groups of people that particularly are against ski boats and tried to fight against them saying they shouldn't exist. People just need to mind there own business when you don't even need to come near me if you don't like it walk.
Exactly. I've always said it's social media. They rarely say anything in person, but when they get home and on Facebook boy it's on! Lol. Be safe out there man.
Agree. Good post. Walkers also have a responsibility to not get in the way of someone about to cast. Everyone just needs to be more aware and courteous of others.
This is a prime example of why I fish Florida piers now although ima be at gulf shores pier sometime next week only casting over hand as dramatically as possible just in spite
Pier security was waiting for his chance to puff up , I get the no head casting . People need to realize the hazards of being near people throwing lures or baits from a pier. This is why I bought a boat so I don't have to deal with pierholes all day .
We are from TN and often fish two or three weeks are year on the Gulf Pier. If there is a NEW rule about NO overhead casting (other than Sabiki) then we will never go back. Either way, the Officer needs to chill out. If a job requires communication skills, they need to be a more selective in who they hire. However, anyone casting should realize a lot of walkers may have never been on a pier, and the caster should also be responsible enough to look before they cast.
What we didn’t hear was the beginning of the conversation...someone said something that ticked off the officer and then it was all downhill from there. He clearly said “someone got hit” so obviously there was an issue to which he was responding, and then he caught some attitude from someone and boom goes the dynamite. I mean, it didn’t stop Brad from casting overhand...lmao
@@clarkallen4541 I don’t believe that, I highly doubt anyone got hit, may have been a close call, but that many people around them and Knowone saw or herd anyone getting hit…Sometimes the person casting will feel it when u accidentally hit someone casting…. I think someone was being a Karan just wanted to bitch about something…🤔🤷♂️
@@clarkallen4541 the officer actually said some told him that he. “Like to have got hit” means he could have or almost got hit. In other words he was gripping to the officers about something that had not even happened
The only written rule for casting on Gulf Shores Pier applies to Sabiki rigs. In this case I'd have asked to see the rule the officer was referring to. There is nothing prohibiting overhand casting of lures or bait on this pier.
@@ericolsen9799 YES on the way.. but seriously was in Panama city Beach 2 weeks ago and fished the pier there with my 2 granddaughters tarpon were running. Plenty of overhand/head casting and no fatalities. Common sense is not so common anymore. Courtesy is not found many places but saw it there when I was at 2 piers with the grandkids. I will take you up on the offer to come fish, I don't get to fish often in saltwater , I live in Indiana. :) Love watching Brad and all the guys banter back and forth and especially when Brant get's his.. GO BRAD!! Thanks from Indiana, Tim
I would ask to see that rule in writing. Your on a fishing pier. How are you supposed to get your line out to fish? That is a Ranger that's just over stepping his authority.
every pier i've ever fished at had numerous signs that say no overhead casting. that said, if it's not posted and not part of the fish and game law for that state, go for it.
So the only rule on that pier is no overhand casting sabiki rigs and like an added written in request to not overhand cast gotcha plugs. Its a fishing pier. The ones who are fishing pay more then the ones who just use it for sight seeing. Perfect example of who do you want to accommodate, the person spending $10 or the person spending $2. More then likely the person complaining is on vacation, and wont be back any time soon, so the options are tell the sightseers hey youre on a fishing pier you have to watch out, or threaten to kick out the people who spend more money, multiple times a week there. Security guy just wants to pat his ego, and didnt really think his actions out. He just seen an opportunity to go flex and look important. If guys like him continue to behave like that,all its going to do is drive the fishermen, who spend more money there, to somewhere else. Its bad enough they are dragging their feet fixing the pier. Alabama is having a really hard time finding a balance of supporting tourism and supporting the locals who live there. Continue to mistreat the locals and soon there are no locals, no one to run the tourism no one to keep places open in the "off season"
I guess, the "pedestrians" should only be allowed on the first section of the pier past the office and fisherman past that. That officer was certainly a hot head. Fishing and elevated stress don't go together.
I’ve never considered myself a rocket scientist but seems like a side cast would be more dangerous than a overhead cast on a crowded pier. Just my opinion…..
My guess, he couldn't read well enough to get on a city police force, so he became a Park Ranger...people have to pay attention to what they are doing, whatever it is.
Boy, who was that Park Ranger? Maybe Karen’s brother, Barney? You know some folks let power go to their heads. All he had to say was what the complaint was about and to tell you all the best way to comply. To me it looked like he wanted to send someone off the pier just to show everyone how powerful he is.
I have fished quite a few piers in California when we would go for vacation and a bunch of them had signs that said "no overhand casting" being from Wyoming I was shocked at how many stupid rules there were on the piers there. In Texas the piers were freaking amazing and seemed to only have rules that made sense.
I'm from California but live in Texas now the only reason they have that stupid rule is because of tourists they would walk right behind people fishing and not look to see what's going on around them and get hooked.
I’ve never been to a pier or fished in the ocean. That was crazy stuff. All that running around and squeezing in. I assume you know those people? Is that it’s like pier fishing? Damn
Never understand why people get so worked up. It’s a fishing pier. If you’re not smart enough to watch out for people fishing while out there, don’t go out there. This whole world is gonna be bubble wrapped before long to protect the ignorant.
The cop or whoever he was was very unprofessional !!! Questioning his authority was something he was not having . Honestly he gives other people in the profession a bad name !!!! I would consult with the operators of the pier about said rule !!! Just looked up the rules . Rule # 8 states under hand casting only on sabaki rigs only .!!!! Oh I'm in Ms. and am thinking about visiting the area ...
I guess if you side- arm cast it's safer!??? Overhand you can potentially hook one person, side-arm you can hook three people and f*#k up everybody's fishing! What a dumbass rule!
Sadly, you have people in professional Law enforcement who think they are above everyone else. Someone should teach him how to communicate with people. That was BAD, he got a F for stupid being social STUPID. Great Video
I didn’t know that video editing tools have auto-incorrect! I saw “Shark ate my swimsuit” and knew auto-incorrect was at work. DYAC - darn you auto correct! 😀😂
Can you do a video on how you have your bike set up to carry your rods and equipment? Even if your truck is fixed I bet it’s nice to just bike ride to a spot to fish every once in a while
I need your opinion on Penn reels. I have a older 4400 ss and I bought a pursuit 4 3000 and I was going this next week buy a spin fisher. But that pursuit is awesome have you noticed any difference in between the penns
If I operated that pier and saw this video, that slack-jawed "security" guard would be schooled quickly on the priorities of a FISHING pier! If it didn't sink in I'd toss his butt off the property with his last paycheck right behind him!
Wow that's crazy they have rules on that ! Come down to Sebastian The only rule we got are like don't jump of the end or castnet from certain spots and don't leave trash outb
In My Opinion, It's the first priority of Any law Enforcement Officer to be respectful to the Public and or the Citizens within their jurisdiction. However, This Officer must have not payed attention in the classroom during his training and that's unfortunate. great job hooking up and bringing in that Tarpon Brad. Thats the only fish I've never even hook. God Bless ~
On Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach (only pier I've fished on), the rule is straight down only. They even have signs saying no casting - straight drop only. They have a roped-off area at the very tip of the pier for people who care casting way out for big fish.
That's posted on all piers in the United States but it's funny how there's always some Barney Fife hanging around the Pier to tell you about it that's because they don't have a life
That fish with the yellow tail is called a leather jacket or stickle back where I come from. Don't ever get stuck by one! It HURTS for a little while, almost like a tiny stingray but it doesn't last long or get infected. Avoid them.
At the Naples pier I saw an over hand cast where a girl caught a treble hook in her eye lid. The caster didn't see it and almost ripped her eye lid out before we all hollered and stop the cast.
Mall cop.
I was thinking of taking my nephew there this week. Guess I'll keep fishing on the Okaloosa.
47 years fishing on piers from the Outer Banks to the Gulf. I've never seen a mall cop tell a fisherman they couldn't overhand cast with a plug.
Brad you are a gentleman. You handled it better than I could have.
It’s not like you are going to catch anything anyway.
😂
Well um... It appears he almost caught something from "the man"
That was hard Beach Bum!!
Oh no you dint!
3B, you might need to go rub some sunscreen on that burn you laid on 2B.
The "Maul Patrol" makes me think of the episode of South Park - Cartman, Respect My Authoritah !

Perhaps he should try needlepoint instead 🤣

At the pier here in fl where im at you cant over hand when everyone's around. But you can do a decent swing and flick
This is a prime example of why I fish Florida piers now although ima be at gulf shores pier sometime next week only casting over hand as dramatically as possible just in spite
Pier security, basically a mall cop without a food court so that's why he's mad, no Orange Julius.
Bebo and Brayden!!! Park Ranger mad because he can’t overhand cast, you wrong for that 😂
Robyn said, How are you supposed to cast? 🤷🏻♂️😂
There is no law that says you can’t overhand cast… Yup, the Google confirmed it. 🔥🤣🥜
Pier security was waiting for his chance to puff up , I get the no head casting . People need to realize the hazards of being near people throwing lures or baits from a pier. This is why I bought a boat so I don't have to deal with pierholes all day .
There alot of people who prefer land based like me. Had a boat. Not for me
Horses for courses.
Yeah well goes both ways. Sound like the kid was being a smart ass so what you expect?
People are stupid….. I don’t allow them on my boat….

Yeah that's what i read on the website
No casting.... LoL 😂 No farting, no breathing , no smiling...etc. Tell that pork belly to kick Rocks.
Damn shark ate your swimsuit? Lol
thanks again for the great video. Brad haters will hate. Keep living the good life. God Bless and stay safe
The cops are always riled up over there during the summer time. Especially if you're an out of towner, they make a lot of money on nitpicky citations.
He was "Security" the badge was a color print on his shirt and his shirt said Security. Pompous ass for sure his ego was way out on his sleeve.
@@stunick1573
You’re right
Down here we call them ‘Saturday night heroes’
"You got my back? Yeah, I mean I'm not going to jail with ya." Man I am dead, that made my morning.
😂
He just earned the nickname “ deputy dawg”!
I got your back...but is ain't going to jail with ya 😂😂😂
Not only have I ever heard of an "overhand cast rule", I have never even heard of someone complaining about it, ever!!!
fish on California pier's.. when I was there you could not overhead cast...
@@timschuller3647 Well another form of Tyranny by California. Come down to the Texas Gulf Coast and you will not have to worry about that.
@@ericolsen9799 YES on the way.. but seriously was in Panama city Beach 2 weeks ago and fished the pier there with my 2 granddaughters tarpon were running.

Just looked up the rules the only thing it says about casting is that sabiki style rigs must be cast under hand.
Great video Brad! Really enjoy the content you're putting out buddy.
“I’m not going to jail with you but…” 😂
Should have asked the guy .."so we cant cast our fishing poles at the fishing pier?" Hate stuff like that
How dare yall over hand cast on a fishing pier lol 😆 wow that cop needs some CBD send him a link, nice fishing guys🤙

There's a pier in Sandbridge, VA that's kinda like that. There's a white line towards the end, and those who aren't fishing aren't allowed past it.
i think the officer/park turd has a nasty attitude because he recently found out his grand daddy is his daddy.
I’ve never considered myself a rocket scientist but seems like a side cast would be more dangerous than a overhead cast on a crowded pier. Just my opinion…..
Definitely a side cast on the pier just doesn't make sense
I always warn people when I am about to cast. It’s responsible and far better than causing someone terrible injury.
@@Frank-il3kt yea or i just look back to make sure no one is in the way
So you went to the pier the same day Karen did.. LMAO
Great video. I got positive vibes going towards you getting your truck fixed and you catching a king lol!
Bubba got a title and he's all big-headed....WOW!
Pretty unprofessional Warden got upset quick. I'll stick to the Florida piers where we can actually fish
Hell yeah as soon as he turned around. Nice cast
You should ask the COP ? about his Lightning Bolts !
My guess, he couldn't read well enough to get on a city police force, so he became a Park Ranger...people have to pay attention to what they are doing, whatever it is.
Actually low IQ is required to be a cop
Yeah he definitely filled interpersonal skills one and two in the academy and got kicked out. Now he is an angry grass cop.
In North and South Carolina, most of your piers require an underhand cast, which if you practice enough, you can cast just as far as an overhand cast.
The text said a shark ate your “swimsuit”!
WOULD LOVE TO BRING THE SKIFF AND DO SOME FISHING WITH YA!!!
I feel like every video is an ordeal with a Ranger lol
Hard to take a man with a sewn on badge on a 5 dollar shirt real seriously.
It’s called a costume.😂
😂

yOu cAn nOT dO liKE thAT 😂
Ask Mr Top Notch Security what the option to over head casting is.
Thats what I said I would want him to show me the proper way since its so important and all
More fishing rules !!! 6000 Miles of beaches but they want to come to the Fishing Pier an complaint about casting 🤷

In Texas the piers were freaking amazing and seemed to only have rules that made sense.
Bro it's California, the worst state in the US lol 😆
Well, it is California I guess. I have never fished in that state and don't plan to.
I'm from California but live in Texas now the only reason they have that stupid rule is because of tourists they would walk right behind people fishing and not look to see what's going on around them and get hooked.
They made sense because it's Texas and not California where most people don't know how to think for themselves. Hu.
The only rule I've seen about casting on the GSP pier concerns sabiki rigs. They have to be casted underhand
Another Park Ranger who thinks it's ok to talk to people disrespectfully because he wears a uniform.
You should consider doing a video fishing in the lakes.
Somebody complaining about people casting on a fishing pier is like sitting in a smoking area and complaining about smoke.
I’ve never been to a pier or fished in the ocean. That was crazy stuff. All that running around and squeezing in. I assume you know those people? Is that it’s like pier fishing? Damn
Security ha ha He had big time attitude
I purchased the shorts and shirt you were bragging about and they are awesome! Every bit as soft as you said. Extremely comfortable!
That's a rough day of fishing if a shark ate your swim suit and you were on the pier!! 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
4:43 says he casts out a chunk of live fish bait and reels in a fish on a lure. Gotta love editing for content
That park ranger was funny as hell and pure coward funny shit.
Looks like the Alabama game wardens went from law enforcement, to feelings enforcement.
The kids expression in the thumbnail 😂

Fished a lot of piers in California and quite a few had posted ‘No Overhead Casting.’
At the end of your videos you should say, "Y'all stay hairy" or something...lol..great vid regardless

Here in Southern Cal it is illegal to overhead cast on a pier. With a bit of practice you'd be surprised how far out you can get underhand casting.

COOL STUFF MAN PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST THE BEARDED FISHERMAN!!
Top Flight gonna be Top Flight.
Reminds me of me getting tossed off Navarre with “Jacob”
That guy was power trippin'. I don't think they have the power to do that.
On Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach (only pier I've fished on), the rule is straight down only. They even have signs saying no casting - straight drop only. They have a roped-off area at the very tip of the pier for people who care casting way out for big fish.
That sounds like the worst pier, straight drop only? LOL
That's posted on all piers in the United States but it's funny how there's always some Barney Fife hanging around the Pier to tell you about it that's because they don't have a life
I love your bike!! 😍
The GW should have shown yall what is allowed for casting like do a display couldve educated many and prevented the so called problems he has
That would have been too easy for him. He got all dramatic and started flexing on. He made himself look like a 🤡
Enjoyed the video brother!!
Thanks for the reply bc I thought I won the fishing trip when I first seen it lol keep up the good work
Shark ate your swimsuit huh? Lol
Maybe the park ranger should explain that complaints about casting on a fishing pier is like going to a bonfire and complaining about the fire.
That fish with the yellow tail is called a leather jacket or stickle back where I come from. Don't ever get stuck by one! It HURTS for a little while, almost like a tiny stingray but it doesn't last long or get infected. Avoid them.
what mic do you use it sounds good
That guy was wild
i wish someone would make a video on everything you need for pier fishing
Have you posted the whole interaction?
At the Naples pier I saw an over hand cast where a girl caught a treble hook in her eye lid. The caster didn't see it and almost ripped her eye lid out before we all hollered and stop the cast.
if the rangetr just said "hey buddy, just be careful and check behind you when you're casting" that would've been alot easier to digest and understand
Good job keep trying you will catch your king who would you recommend for off shore trip in gulf shores for 10 people
bro how much size jig do u , use on a 5 inch soft shad
Shore based puffer fish!
Big boy was a little bowed up and showing some authority with that badge! Must have got chewed out by his wife or kids that morning…or both.
You should check into that!!!
Always enjoy the videos
