Honestly, I think you put out the best fishing videos.

Hello AFG (Alabama Fish Genius) I sooooooooo enjoy your shows. When hubby and I sit down to relax he’ll watch a lot of fishing u tube. You are my top and only one I enjoy. Please keep your videos just like they are . The no music video. So informative. Your information gives me ideas for gifts for hubby as well👍🏻 Just order him that bait cooler today. Thanks AFG

My best friend turned me on to your channel cause the area your fishing is where we are gonna retire to in a few years man all we do is go hey did you see this video or that video...lol great job look forward to more.

Heading to Gulf Shores in a couple of weeks and have never done any fishing in saltwater, looking forward to giving it a shot.

Fantastic!!!

Love your videos. Do most my saltwater fishing in south padre and surf fish a bit different. Usually standing in the water with heavy in shore tackle with my finger on the line. I live a lot closer to gulf shores and have been there several times, yet not to fish. Maybe I will bring the boat down for a week and have some fun in the bay and on the surf. Keep up the great work.

Dude, you have some nice, quality gear. My favorite way to beach fish is topwater, love getting bluefish and redfish blowups. When it’s rough I’ll switch to a casting spoon or jig and gulp.

Nice catch the video looked great. Leaving in the morning for Mobile, Alabama. Will be fishing around Navarre beach Saturday maybe any recommendations can be surf or pier? Sunday will be in Biloxi, Mississippi Sunday and Monday morning. Fishing the Cadet pier. I use both bait and lures. I am coming from College Station, Texas.

I like both soaking and pitching spoons if the soak is slow. Drum rig and sputnik, and a chunk of mullet staged close, second slue, then as far as I can throw it. Ill run a few high/low with shrimp or FB in close for table fare.

Would like to have seen the footage of you taking that lure out! Great videos btw!

I’m late to the party, with my comment, on this video but what the heck. I personally enjoy throwing a baited rod and casting with another and if the beach is empty I bait two rods and still cast one. Also, I too buy better (more expensive) gear because you get what you pay for. I am still using my Penn “Made In USA” SS series spinning reels which I bought brand new back in “98!” I enjoy your videos and am a new subscriber. Also, Thank You for your military service!!

Sorry i know this video is a year old, but it bugs me that nobody ID'd the great catch! i am quite sure it's a silky shark. They range worldwide but are mostly - but not purely an open water shark. Rare that it came all the way in...musta been the storm/food. Very cool! Really love your vids. Don't even really watch anyone else. Think it's great you're so experienced, yet humble. Great stuff, keep it up!

We put in a lot of time finding “honey holes”. I’ll give you everything you need info wise to find and catch fish at any given location, just not specific places. The beach is practically the same throughout , but some of the inshore spots, thousands of people watch videos, and there wouldn’t be anything left if we gave out everything hahaha! Thanks for watching 🇺🇸🤙🏼

I'm coming from Bass fishing moving to inshore redfish. I've noticed everyone uses a ton more spinning rods than baitcasters even for techniques I would usually throw on my baitcasting gear for the extra power. Is there a reason why inshore fisherman use more spinning rods or is it just personal preference?

@zacharyradford5552

5 ай бұрын

A few reasons 1 it easier to use, 2 easier to clean and maintain, 3 a lot of bait casters aren’t meant to have saltwater and sand run through them so even if you clean them they might not work the same ever.
