I'm a recent subscriber. I love this channel. I lived in Atmore from 88-96 and continued to fish the Gulf Coast thru 2010. I was really into Alabama Gulf Coast fishing. Fished my buns off. I miss it. This channel has me contemplating moving back there from Atlanta, selling most all of my guitars and living out my remaining days modestly and quietly in the beautiful Gulf Coast sun. Love your videos!!!

I have done pier fishing myself and I do know about those tangles when someone lands a big fish,! I like the fact you show us how to cook the various stuff you catch.

Mahi from a pier is rare indeed. I've caught them on boats in The Keys and Costa Rica but never from land or a pier. I had no idea they come so close there. Very cool. I've never caught a chicken dolphin at all, even cooler even if they're not big. In Spanish they're called dorado and I caught plenty of 3 and 4 footers trolling near the beach in Costa Rica on the Pacific side. I lived near the border with Panama and the fishin' is pretty awesome there.
