Captain Branden Collier and Matthew Isbell (Bama Beach Bum). Captain Branden discusses wade fishing and near-shore fishing, noting that sheepshead fishing is slowing down but still productive. He shared tips about fishing techniques, baits like worms and crabs, and recommended looking for areas with bait activity and structure. Matthew Isbell focused on beach fishing, particularly pompano and flounder. He described challenges with recent rain and wind affecting water conditions, and shared a detailed technique for flounder fishing involving using a tandem rig with two paddle tails and a unique slow-reel presentation that significantly increased his catch. Both guests provided insights into current fishing conditions along the Alabama coast, discussing water temperatures, bait strategies, and promising fishing locations. For the offshore report, Captain Kendall Annan from Gulf Rebel Charters discusses his recent fishing trips in the Orange Beach Gulf Shores area. Despite windy conditions, he successfully targeted bottom fish like bee liners, white snapper, triggerfish, and tuna. He faced challenges due to a full moon phase, heavy currents, and fatigue among his clients. They caught over 130 bottom fish, including large blackfin tuna. Captain Kendall emphasized the importance of using descending devices to release out-of-season fish, which significantly reduces predation. He also highlighted the effectiveness of live bait and jigging techniques.
