The Gulf State Park Pier is a great place to go fishing, and its easy enough for beginners. This pier is located on the Gulf in Gulf Shores AL. As a beginner myself, (this is my third time pier fishing) I like to fish with shrimp and cut bait. Using packaged rigs that have a couple hooks on each. I manage to catch a few croakers, whiting, hard head catfish, and a Gafftopsail catfish. I even caught a bait fish on a sabiki rig! The views are amazing and you might even see a shark or two under the pier. If you are new to pier fishing, try the Gulf State Park Pier. Its easy enough for beginners to catch fish and have fun.

    You know what I've noticed about realistic fishing? He looks like he puts so much care into each of his casts.
  • Of the vacations we've gone on in the past 3 years or so...Gulf Shores is the most fun relaxing beach town!!! Nobody seems to be in a huge hurry...we loved it!!
  • @joehall7869
    Catching fish and watching the sun go down. That's a good day.
  • Love the video brother and awesome catches. This so reminds me of when I was young and used to live in San Diego. My mom used to take me and my brothers fishing out on the piers, ahhh the good times. Thanks for posting and sharing and for your support on my other channel, Half Black Gamer!!!!
  • @TOTALLYRELAXED
    I chuckle when I hear people call them 'catfish' down here in the south while fishing saltwater!...old timers like myself grew up knowing them as 'hard heads'...and, that one you caught with the tall top dorsal fin was a 'gaff top'. I myself only relate 'catfish' to fresh water fishing, but, that's just 'me' ! Have a great day!
  • @AFishBicycle

  • I saw that shark Bro!!!...Buddy you keep it realistic and fun...That brought back memories of fishing Bob Hall Pier in Padre Island,Tx!!!...Great Video Sir!!!
  • @garydirks8223
    Reminds me of my younger days. Used to fish the pier at night then the jetty in the morning here in TX. Never knew what I would see or catch. Thanks RF.
  • @fernandom339
    Just found your channel a few weeks ago and now I watch every video. Great job and love how you keep it realistic haha No BS

    Whiting are good eating... That's what Long John Silver's "fish planks" are... Once you get through the inch of breading. Lol.
  • I can't think of a better way to spend the day fishing from a pier or jetty and just catching whatever comes by. I meet some really great people and have a lot of fun. Hmmm might be time for some overnighters on a pier somewhere soon. Great video
  • @R0NE100
    Ah the good old days when you could go to the pier's octagon!! Cool video man!
  • @josephwood1607
    Nice catch. Seems like the same fishing experience I have in southeast Texas along the gulf. Thanks a bunch and still keeping it realistic. 👍
  • @JohnsFishTales
    That pier fishing is some of the best there is. Grew up doing that with my grandpa.
  • @CJDuranOutdoors
    Good job Alex, I really liked the look of that last catfish, I wouldn't mind catching one for myself some day!
  • Great job Alex!! You caught some pretty cool looking fish and those croakers make for good bait!!
  • @tokay999
    You caught a cat fish!!!! That's way cool, this is exactly how I started fishing with my dad, now I fish fresh and salt. I didn't even know there was cat fish in the salt water

    Winston here from fresh air outdoors. Wanted to say great video got me super pumped, I'm about to head to Galveston on Thursday because my buddy is graduating from A&M and I get to fish their T-dock. Super excited. Also gonna do loads of pier fishing and I wanna catch some whiting (they're actually delicious) and I either want to catch my first black drum or my first sheep's head. Thanks for the video this one really got me hyped to go fish!!!!!! That gafftop is crazy looking, I still haven't caught one so that's also on my ~hit list~
