I am from the U.P. and just moved here one year ago and live in Foley, I chartered a fishing trip right there under the bridge where you were and caught 5 sheep head what a blast, I think i will check with you next time i want to go fishing.
I see “new residents” who I highly doubt have fishing licenses taking over fishing spots and lining up chairs next to one another and using hand lines, keeping everything they catch. Not one time have I seen any FWC official doing a license check. Why???
I agree bro, we got lots of illegals on our jetties keeping fish that are closed and undersized. My buddy let fwc know they were killing bull redfish everyday and they never came to do shit about it, but when they see me they damn sure make sure I got my little 18 dollar liscense lol
There's a spot in Boca Raton, I saw a dude fill a 5 gallon bucket with sub 6" snappers. Made me sick. I was maybe 100 feet from him, catching barely undersize mangos and throwing them back. Twice the size of anything he had in his bucket. Made me sick.
I've been stopped seven times in three months by FWC. I had motor trouble on the last day it was checked. I came back to the ramp 2 hours after sunset without running lights. I had engine trouble, stayed near shore, and idled the two miles back to the launch. The FWC officer was waiting for me at the launch. I got my $90 ticket. The judge heard the case, and I only had to pay court costs.
Those guys love to sit there and be nice to you, just waiting for you to slip up and say something you shouldn't. I only answer questions they ask... especially when they can slap you with a misdemeanor or throw you in jail for a freaking fish.
Don't answer questions. Period. My dad was a cop and that's what I was taught. STFU with the cops. Always. No exceptions. Make them answer your questions. Name, badge number, and the crime you're being accused of.
I was fishing one of the rigs right off Ft Morgan last year and a guy was using tiny pieces of hermit crab shells to pull them in. They worked just as good as the whole fiddler crabs we were throwing.
looks like fun I've been fishing there surprized balwin cou.didn't want to see your license's. pls do a instructional video using rope to illustrate the knots. could'nt see much w/ the clear line.
i am in no way trying to say your doing something wrong or anything but check out the fg knot , i tied the same knot as you for many many years and i blew out guides multiple time when using alittle heavier flouro (never broke the knot) just did damage , when switching the the fg knot i notice a hair smooth feeling when running through the guides and alot less replacing guides !
Nice video Capt. Keep the inshore content coming! Let’s see some more trout action in the rivers while they are here. Thanks ,tight lines from Fowl River!
What's the difference if you're up on top of the bridge walking across or fishing off the top of the bridge as compared to being underneath the bridge on the bridge or tied up to the bridge can you change your bicycle up on top of the bridge to the bridge I would check state law on bridges I believe bridges fall under state law
You can't fish the channel from the top either. There's lots of reasons why they don't allow you to tie off to bridges, or to jump onto the structure underneath that have nothing to do with fishing.
Same thing in NY. No signs and they give out tickets. Before 9/11 there was no problem and people would tie off to the bridge for years. These guys were nice and easily could have given you multiple tickets. Always best to be nice with enforcement just like you were so not to escalate anything. Unfortunately sometimes you get a grumpy or tool bag officer just waiting to give out tickets. Great video. Thank you
It's an overreaction by the government to seize power during a crisis. I'm sick of the overbearing control we have been subjected to in the last 30 years. Citizens must insist on taking back our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Looks like you’re putting out a lot of high quality vids with good info in them, so I’m sure you’ll blow up pretty quick. I also fish out of OB….I’m on a light blue Century 2600…I’ll keep an eye out for you and say hi.
So I'm watching this video and enjoying it by the way. I watch you tie off to the bridge and said hmmm he thinks he's doing something haha. Then Boom they showed up to screw your plan. Trust me been there done that same bridge in front of the same no fishing in the channel sign. But they were cool and let me go. they did let me know that a violation on the water like that is a misdemeanor.😦
@@saltyswiggs they were roping off the area the kids were jumping off of back in March. They wouldn't let me drag my kayak through the barrier where the kids were. I had to navigate the kayak through the boardwalk down to the beach to launch.
Enjoyed your video, but there’s one minor thing? When demonstrating your knot tying you need to get where you have a darker solid background. It makes following your visual instruction much easier. Look forward to more videos of the South Bama Coast.
Well your horn cleat knot leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe we Coasties tie it differently, but yours was a mess. Good interaction with the patrol boat. Coasties would have acted about the same, but would have left the area after the first encounter instead of hanging around to see if you make a mistake. That's just mean.@@saltyswiggs
I believe the purpose of the video would be to Complement the Nice fish.🎣 that boat don’t look to shabby either. Easily as nice as the game wardens or whatever agency they work for.
You know whats crazy? People climb up and jump off that other side piling ALL DAY ERRRYDAY and they say nothing. I think theres been several drownings there. Most peoples GPS trolling motors freak TF out under a bridge and so its actually safer to tie off. Oh not to mention, that bridge, the 3 salaries and pretty little boat were all paid for by our taxes and so if you're not damaging any of those they really shouldn't be telling you chit.
Those people are not our friends, they are out there for one reason "MONEY" I know they say safety but we know better , we need to start saying, I don't answer questions !
@@JohnHoard-xz5pwNot if they are staying under the bridge all day . Why does it take 3 ? And why do you need a $350000 boat if your in a bay all day. Seems like a waste of money when all you need is 1 person and a 20 foot bay boat with a 150 maybe. Seems like. Are they checking the Charter boats . In State waters . I've seen this boat in every video that's made and they under that same bridge. Except they have a woman there with them now .
Let me ask you a ? You do have a job right. You do your job the way your supposed to right. Do you know what in their job description? So for him or them doing their job the are bad? That is so whack.
Show me the law. Oh you can't? Well when you can come on out and see me.....till then you are harassing a fisherman and that is a law and you are breaking it.
Bro please show ma clear version of how to do that knot on a black table or something. Kind of a waste of time explaining how to tie it. No hate frfr because I want to see it!
Some harbor patrol officers are fishing for a crime, just hoping you confess to something. Always be nice and respectful, like you were, but don't volunteer too much information. For instance, saying something like, "I did this same illegal thing everyday all last year." That was a confession to multiple misdemeanors that some cops would have arrested you for, on the spot.... no kidding. However, you can be kind and respectful without offering too much information about your recent-past fishing habits. You did okay. You get a B- for that interaction.@@saltyswiggs
This is what i can't figure out when bait used is crabs why take off the claws and legs when under water the crab is taken whole by certain species. I buy bait i use the whole bait. I always say if the fish are there the will hit anything, if not it's gonna be a long day. Peace
I take it you dont have your port pass ? They wanted captains to get it , i got mine for truck driving , theres reasons why they cant have people standing on the bridged pier , and not tieing to the navigational aids ? They teach that in capains school , a bridge is a navigational aide , not anchoring in a channel , they'll slap that one in for good measures .. they really wanted to see them charter prudentials , good thing you were alone ..ive seen them nice , and ive seen them throw the book at you , consistantly in some cases ..keep your ducks in a row , they know you now ..just killl em with kindness , eventually they move on when your nice ..
If you give a human being a job with authority and they don't exercise that authority, then they feel like they're not doing their job. i.e. a 19 year old cop with a gun and a badge.
You should never just willing talk to police, especially if their fishing with questions, you're not obligated to tell them your personal life either or help them with their investigation.
I am from the U.P. and just moved here one year ago and live in Foley, I chartered a fishing trip right there under the bridge where you were and caught 5 sheep head what a blast, I think i will check with you next time i want to go fishing.

At LEAST call FWC

The officer was “fishing” for a potential citation.
I was thinking the same thing, act like your friend then bend you over the first chance they get
As always

Glad you mentioned the claw... When the bite is on, i look in my bucket for any fallen claws and it's enough to get them
💯

GOOD JOB. I LIKE THE RIG YOU TIED. I WILL TRY IT.
Great show man !
Im new to your channel. Keep it up Capt. Good luck from New Orleans!

I actually have knot videos on my channel if you wanna check them out
looks like the albright improved knot will work if you have to tie out in the boat. I like the FG if I can tie it the night before.
i am in no way trying to say your doing something wrong or anything but check out the fg knot , i tied the same knot as you for many many years and i blew out guides multiple time when using alittle heavier flouro (never broke the knot) just did damage , when switching the the fg knot i notice a hair smooth feeling when running through the guides and alot less replacing guides !
I don’t disagree at all. I only use the Albright on line up to 30-40lb then I use the FG or PR knot.
I believe it’s reasonable not to allow you to anchor on the bridge unless it was an emergency situation. IMO
Bro. What glasses are those. I been looking for something a lil different n I think those are it!

Any chance u know what model name? Can’t find them on their website
GO PACK GO !! oh nice video

Thanks man!
Hi, I was just accidentally watching your channel. It’s very cool to hear that you from Green Bay Wisconsin so I subscore you. Good luck.
Thanks for subbing!
Just came across your video and thought it was great.I dont think we have those fish in Australia.
Good job mate 🦘🦘🦘

I tied off under bridges , pilings for years. Coast Guard came by one time and told me the same. No tying off to bridge pilings, bumpers, dauphins.
Just subscribed after hearing you on the AL saltwater fishing report podcast.

Where are you finding fiddlers now? A lot of places in mobile never have them. I haven’t checked places in Baldwin county much
Either, Lost Bay or Beach Bum Outdoors it’s been difficult 😣
Shrimp has been working tho
@@saltyswiggs thanks. I caught my pb in fish river a couple weeks ago. 20 1/4 on live shrimp
@@marcthomas8677 well done! 💪
You're in pretty good shape. Jumping up there like that.
You are a charter charter?
I do charter yes. Backbaycharters.net
Nice video. Good size fish.
Big thanks
I do the Alberto knot which is almost the same. Super super tight knot.
Yup also great, I used that knot before the Albright, but switched because I can tie this slightly faster.

@@SCOTTA1 yup spring break season is the only time they shut it off for some reason
@@saltyswiggs subbed by the way. Maybe see you around next time I'm down that way. Soon I hope.
So evidently they need 3 to tell people where they can't go. Why not put up a sighn that says stay off the pier .
Are those sheep fish good eating?
One of my favorites!

Never seen a deployed trolling motor used as a boat fender

There was a woman there so she's probably the boss with the diverse hire thing really in full swing. Probably the new Sheriff in town deal.
That’s all accurate

Appears to me you have the hook on backwards,
Tell them to take a hike i will😅
dude finds out hes been breaking the laws for years

Years ago nobody consistently fished for sheep heads fishing. They aren’t as plentyfull as mangrove snappers, redfish, or any other fish
Ok thanks
Those people are not our friends, they are out there for one reason "MONEY" I know they say safety but we know better , we need to start saying, I don't answer questions !
So, the guys in Marine Fisheries are not interested in protecting the resources for all citizens?
Nope! @@JohnHoard-xz5pw
@@JohnHoard-xz5pwNot if they are staying under the bridge all day . Why does it take 3 ? And why do you need a $350000 boat if your in a bay all day.

I never target sheepshead....But, I sure catch plenty of them.
Good problem to have 😆
What a horrible issue to have :).
The reason people take the claws off is because you wil get a false bite and they are only taking the claws
How is a bite on the bait a false bite?
@@saltyswiggs It's a "false" bite when the fish bite just the claw and you try to set the hook and don't get anything but the body of the crab back.

Ni e channel
Was going to subscribe but don't like clickbait. Be honest dude
They literally said it was illegal to fish where I was fishing…not sure what you mean
They make the rules as they go....they ain't got nothing to do.
I heard that
So get arrested and or fined for illegal fishing ? But democrats let in 10 million. ILLEGAL immigrants and that is ok ?
SO whats with tying up to the bridge??????
Well I guess it’s not allowed 🤷♂️
