  • Tarpon, Trout, Triple Tail, and Holiday Weekend Fishing
    2026/07/03

    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a strong Fourth of July bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, along with some important safety reminders about night running, heavy current, floating debris, dirty water, and holiday boat traffic. Butch Thierry is joined by Dylan Kiene, who helps frame a wide-ranging report that moves from tarpon and surf fishing to speckled trout, triple tail, swordfish, tuna, and nearshore snapper. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle starts the show with an Orange Beach report, explaining how strong current and dirty water have made tarpon fishing tougher, especially for fly anglers, but how live bait, swim baits, and carefully watching fish behavior can still pay off. He also breaks down a productive swordfish trip, including bait choice, depth, current, squid and octopus tentacles, and why the full moon in June can be so good for swords. Capt. Richard Rutland of Cold Blooded Fishing follows with a detailed speckled trout and triple tail report, covering topwater trout, Slick Juniors, Little John XLs, wade-fishing structure, nervous mullet, beach contours, crab catching, fresh water intrusion, tide lines, floating debris, and how to sight fish triple tail when the bay is stained. To close it out, Cody Broughton checks in from Dauphin Island with offshore updates on green water, swordfish, tuna, mahi, pomfret, and a surprisingly strong snapper bite on public and nearshore reefs. It's a full Gulf Coast report with plenty of practical tactics for anglers fishing through heat, holiday traffic, and changing water conditions.

  • How to Catch Fish When the Gulf Coast Heat Sets In
    2026/07/10

    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is hosted by Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing, with reports from Capt. Derek Rogers of Southside Fishing Company, Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters, and Riley Ludlam of Dauphin Island Fishing Charters. Capt. Derek kicks things off with a Dauphin Island inshore report, covering a strong speckled trout bite, how he's using live shrimp, croakers, slip corks, free-lined baits, Carolina rigs, and plastics, and why small rigging changes can make a big difference when trout get picky. He also breaks down redfish, flounder, and triple tail tactics, including live pogies, dead shrimp, structure, dirty water, and why some bigger triple tail are starting to get more stubborn as summer pressure builds. Capt. Kendall follows with an offshore report from Gulf Rebel Charters, where snapper, vermillion snapper, amberjack, mahi, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel are all part of the current pattern. He explains why fresh bait, clean rigs, long leaders, drift lines, trolling spreads, and paying attention to small details can be the difference between a solid trip and a great one. Riley closes it out with a beach report from Dauphin Island, where dirty water, sharks, catfish, and changing surf conditions have made the trout bite tougher, but flounder have been saving trips. He breaks down how he's finding flounder around structure, why moving water has been key, and why Z-Man plastics, Eye Strike Texas Eye jig heads, and Pro-Cure continue to be his go-to flounder setup.

  • How to Fish Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo Weekend
    2026/07/16
    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report looks ahead to Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo weekend with a mix of inshore, nearshore, and offshore tactics from Capt. Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing and Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing. Butch Thierry opens the show with a reminder to be careful during one of the busiest boating weekends of the summer, especially with pop-up storms, offshore runs, night traffic, and tournament pressure all in play. Capt. Patric Garmeson kicks things off with a detailed inshore and nearshore report from the Dauphin Island area. He covers summertime trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, puppy drum, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, red snapper, sharks, and jack crevalle, while stressing the importance of changing tactics instead of getting locked into one species or one presentation. Patric explains how he's using croakers, shrimp, baitfish, popping corks, free-lined baits, Z-Man paddletails, Slick Juniors, and heavier jig heads around deeper structure. He also breaks down how thermoclines can show up on electronics and why fish may hold above that low-oxygen bottom layer, making it important to adjust bait depth and presentation. Nearshore, Patric shares how chunking pogies has produced snapper, cobia, kings, Spanish, and other bonus fish, and why small circle hooks, hidden hooks, steady chum lines, live croakers, bite tippets, and drift lines can all help anglers get more bites. Capt. King Marchand closes the show from the Lady Ann with a big-game-focused rodeo report. He explains how tournament fishing changes the mindset from filling the box to targeting winning fish, and why he and the Capt. Mike's Fishing crew are planning to focus on tuna, dolphin, marlin, and wahoo rather than trying to cover every rodeo category. King talks through tackle upgrades, live-baiting blackfin tuna for blue marlin, trolling big lures, chunking and live-baiting for tuna, looking for grass lines, watching Hilton's Realtime Navigator, and deciding when to stay on fish versus when to leave a rig. He also covers offshore safety, storm strategy, cobia around buoys and structure, a tougher snapper bite around heavy bait, and the blue-and-white Islander behind a bird as one of his confidence baits for blue marlin.

  • Rodeo Recap: Flounder, Snapper, Triple Tail, and Live Release
    2026/07/24
    For Bonus Content and an Ad free Version of this podcast, click here to Join The Crew! This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report recaps the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo with Capt. Tanner Deas, Capt. Branden Collier, and Dr. Dylan Kiene. The roundtable covers a huge weekend of inshore, offshore, and live-release fishing, including Branden and Tanner's 101-flounder day, tough Saturday inshore conditions, and how low oxygen, nip tides, jubilees, wind-blown banks, and water stratification may have affected the bite. Dr. Dylan Kiene brings the fisheries-science perspective from the judge's table, breaking down the speckled trout, flounder, redfish, and live-weigh-in categories, including the success of the new live triple tail category and the value of tagging healthy fish for future research. The crew also talks through the Gulf-wide cobia and triple tail tagging project, acoustic tags, high-dollar reward tags, and what anglers should do if they catch a tagged fish. Offshore, Capt. Branden Collier explains how he targeted big red snapper and mangrove snapper with heavy tackle, big live baits, strong drag, and structure-focused fishing during one of the Gulf Coast's biggest fishing weekends.

  • Dirty Water, Beach Fishing, and Offshore Edges
    2026/06/26
    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers tough weather, dirty water, heavy sargassum, and how good anglers are still putting together solid trips from the beach to the offshore grounds. Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola, who kicks things off with a bottom fishing report from a fast run out of Orange Beach, covering scamp, mangrove snapper, red snapper, cobia, fish care, and why bleeding and properly icing fish makes such a big difference at the cleaning table. Riley Ludlam of Dauphin Island Fishing checks in with a land-based report from Dauphin Island, where muddy surf and grass made trout fishing difficult, but shrimp, Carolina rigs, sandbar cuts, and small adjustments helped produce steady action with drum, ground mullet, whiting, flounder, sharks, croakers, and catfish. Capt. Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing breaks down a challenging but productive inshore pattern around Dauphin Island, including slicks, live shrimp, croakers, thermoclines, low-oxygen bottom water, free-lined baits, redfish, jacks, trout, and a strong flounder bite that rewarded anglers who paid attention to depth, bait, color, lure vibration, and small pattern changes. To close it out, Tom Hilton of Realtime Navigator joins the show for an offshore snapshot, explaining how the sargassum layer, sea surface temperatures, current edges, loop current behavior, seismic vessels, dive boats, and artificial reef habitat all factor into where offshore anglers should spend their time and fuel.

  • Trout, Kings, Grass, and the Fight for Mobile Bay
    2026/06/18
    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a busy early-summer bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from shallow flats and windy beaches to the Gulf State Park Pier and the future of Mobile Bay habitat. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle kicks things off with a report from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, where trout and redfish are feeding well on shallow flats, wind-blown banks, dock lights, plastics, topwater, wake baits, and fly patterns, while heavy sargassum is making surf fishing more difficult but not shutting it down. Capt. Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing checks in from the marsh and Mississippi Sound with a detailed speckled trout report, explaining how a dry spring kept fish in the rivers unusually late, why shrimp finally showing up changed the bite, and how he's been adjusting lure size, water clarity, wind direction, slicks, and wade-fishing setups to stay on fish. David Thornton, The Pier Pounder, brings a Gulf State Park Pier and surf report, with king mackerel finally showing up, Spanish mackerel, tarpon, pompano, bull reds, jack crevalle, and sargassum all playing into the current beach and pier pattern. To close it out, William Strickland of Mobile Baykeeper gives an update on fish kills, unusual jubilee-type events, federal mud dumping, dredge material, habitat restoration, oyster reefs, sea grass, and why anglers have a direct stake in protecting and rebuilding Mobile Bay's fisheries.

  • Snapper Limits, Clear-Water Trout, and Triple Tail Tournament Weekend
    2026/06/12

    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a busy tournament weekend, a strong nearshore snapper bite, and a wide-open inshore pattern around Dauphin Island. Butch Thierry is joined by Dylan Kiene to preview a weekend full of events, including Hooked on Fairhope, the Ben Dunham Tournament, and the Triple Tail Fly Fishing Classic, while also talking through the heavy grass, clean Gulf water, and what that may mean for triple tail, mahi, and other species riding the Sargassum. Capt. Spencer Kight of D.I. Reef Monster checks in live from the Gulf with a snapper report, explaining how the nearshore bite has been on fire, why live bait and new jig setups are both producing big fish, how grass is affecting trolling and boat operation, and why anglers need to be ready for surprise mahi showing up around the boat. Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing wraps things up with a report from the Mississippi Sound, the beach, and the rivers, covering clear-water trout on croakers, dead-bait "snobbling" tactics, flounder on Z-Man plastics and Texas Eye jigheads, early triple tail opportunities, and what anglers should watch for during a crowded weekend on the water.

  • Grass, Trout, Wahoo, and the Hooked on Fairhope Kids Tournament
    2026/06/04

    This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a changing early-summer bite from the surf to the offshore grounds, plus a new kids fishing tournament on the Eastern Shore. Tony Emmons with South Alabama Surf Fishing kicks things off with a beach report focused on working around heavy grass, finding openings in the surf, and catching speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, flounder, redfish, and the first schools of jack crevalle. Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters checks in from Orange Beach with a red snapper and offshore report, including how to catch better snapper, why drift lines matter, how to deal with scattered grass while trolling, and how his crew is picking up bonus fish like wahoo, king mackerel, mahi mahi, and other pelagics in pretty water close to shore. Capt. Jay O'Brien of Irish Wake Fishing breaks down a strong but complicated inshore trout bite, with fish changing between mullet, glass minnows, krill, soft plastics, MirrOlures, croakers, and smaller bait profiles depending on water quality, tide, moon phase, and salinity. To close it out, Anthony Ricciardone joins the show to preview the inaugural Hooked on Fairhope kids fishing tournament, a beginner-friendly event built around the Fairhope Pier, local access, youth fishing, and getting more families connected to Mobile Bay
