Pitch Baiting Blue Marlin and Catching Sow Red Snapper

 

Pitch baiting blue marlin, targeting sow snapper, and upgrading dockside setups—expert tactics from Gulf Coast veterans.

In this week’s Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, Butch Thierry and co-host Angelo DePaola deliver an action-packed episode that dives deep into offshore, bottom, and dockside fishing along the Gulf Coast. Michael Cleveland joins to break down his experience aboard the 72’ Viking Never Surrender during the Emerald Coast Billfish Classic, where his team released a blue marlin and dialed in on teaser and pitch bait techniques. He shares insights on how sonar and weather windows shaped the bite—and why persistence and teamwork paid off.

Next, Captain Delynn Sigler, the go-to expert on bottom fishing, gives a full rundown on the sow snapper and scamp bite. He discusses why reading current conditions is key, how to find fish sitting high in the water column, and why sometimes the simplest rigs produce the best results.

Finally, the KillerDock crew returns to share updates on their latest dockside installations, discuss product durability, and explain why smart dock design is becoming essential for serious anglers and coastal homeowners alike.
