Ok, Stephen, I’m getting spoiled. This is I think the third time I’ve caught one of your videos soon after it’s up. Thanks once again, and always, God Bless you and your mom. I love when she joins you, she gets so happy!

Hey brother, been watching and learning from you for so long now. You have no idea how much you're videos, tips, and tricks have helped me to become a better fisherman! I live in Baldwin County as well and literally just fished that exact spot you're in a few days ago, but had a terrible time because the wind/surf was so crazy rough. Would you mind sharing what you look at to determine how rough/calm the surf is predicted to be before you go surf fishing, wether it be a weather app or a specific metric or what? I try my best, but I'm not sure what to look for to help determine when the surf is supposed to be calm to plan my fishing trip around. Either way, keep doing what you're doing, your videos truly have made a difference to me!

What's best time of day to fish?

@BamaSaltwater 8 ай бұрын

Could be anytime~~ but when it's really hot out: the early morning and evening are best. When it's really cold, fish the afternoon high sun since fish will come shallower to warm up. If it's a full moon: fish at night or in the middle of the day. If it's high tide: fish marsh and grass banks. But most importantly, just get out whenever you can! The best time to fish is when you are available to fish!
