You pulling the balloon out of the Gulf made me really happy. Thank you for caring

@davidwright9550 2 года назад

Love your videos Brother. As a 62 year life-long resident of Mobile I have fished all over Mobile Bay, the rivers, and Dauphin Island, I have been going to Orange Beach & Gulf Shores for longer than I can remember, and have always had my boat ( 17ft Cape Horn ) with me. My fishing down there has been sporadic at best, but your videos this year have given me a completely new outlook on when we go in a few weeks. Thanks so much for sharing all that you do, and for all of the helpful tips. Plan on filling up the coolers this year, and a lot of C & R. Mostly thanks to you! Keep'em coming Brother!

@budgregory8493 2 года назад

From what you showed, the Gulf looked beautiful later in the day. One thing for sure, when snapper season opens you have your reefs marked. That was a nice snapper you released. The porgie looked really good. Always enjoy your videos, keep it up. Thanks

@cjahlert 2 года назад

Looked like a beautiful and enjoyable day. Fish were definitely biting and it looked like the gulf calmed down a bit for the ride home.

@BamaSaltwater 2 года назад

It was ! And yes, it laid down nicely !

I've been watching your channel for a while now and really missed the videos when you were gone for a couple of weeks. You've definitely become my favorite fishing channel on RU-vid. Thank you for keeping your videos focused on fishing and keeping them interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing if you start doing charters soon. We'd love to come down and fish with you!

@BamaSaltwater 2 года назад

Thank you much

@maleitch Год назад

Love your stuff, one of the best on here. Fun fact. When I was growing up on the Gulf Coast a triggerfish was considered a trash fish. Good times.

@derekcapps8969 Год назад

I was just telling a friend of mine here in Va, we are lucky with our grey triggerfish regulations (there are none-no closed seasons, no bag limit, no size limit) my son is a big fan of your channel. We’ll be down there for a few weeks Sept-Oct. we are bringing our 18ft Malco CC. Staying and docking at the Caribe Resort. Maybe we’ll see you out there. Fish on!

@JD-mv8tl 2 года назад

Steve it would be nice to show all the cleaning of the fish. It’s Al hard to believe RU-vid has to be so sensitive. You are clearly educating people on a catch, clean, and cook video. Those of us not proficient in cleaning what like to see the entirety of the cleaning process. RU-vid needs to be more concerned with other crappie content on their platform rather then your educational videos

Not all party balloons end up in the Gulf. I pick up about a dozen every year here on the farm. Two so far this year.

@edwardlandry291 2 года назад

One of your better vids! Thanx. One thought: Why do they keep the limit on overly-abundant triggerfish at only one per person? Joke is on us! You couldn’t overfish the stocks with only two per person any more than you could snapper. At over $4 per gallon for fuel the fish stocks are n no danger!

Man I was just in gulf shores. My first time fishing the ocean. We got a guide to take us out.

@joshmassey7566 2 года назад

Great video. That porgy looked really good. It is to bad the snapper are so heavily regulated, that big snapper would have been goooooood!! I have never had trigger fish. I am going to have to give it a try one day.

@BamaSaltwater 2 года назад

It was really good for sure! And ikr, Snapper season is coming up. Triggers are very good. Delicate white meat. Pretty much anything that comes off of a reef tastes good (to an extent) haha

Most of these reefs I fish are public concrete/steel pyramid clusters the state puts out! But there are some pretty cool things out there in the Gulf including decommissioned M60 Army Tanks, Sunken Ships, train cars, bridges, pipes, etc.
