This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers late-summer fishing from Louisiana deep-drop jigging to Alabama nearshore snapper, triple tail tagging, swordfish, grouper, and speckled trout. Butch Thierry is joined in studio by Dr. Dylan Kiene, who opens the show with an update on the Gulf-wide cobia and triple tail tagging project, including acoustic tags, satellite tags, reward tags, angler recaptures, and why better movement data can help build stronger fisheries management across state lines. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle kicks off the reports with a recap of a Louisiana trip that produced queen snapper, marble grouper, and a true fish-of-a-lifetime Cubera snapper on heavy tackle. He also talks through nearshore red snapper around Perdido Pass, fresh cut bait, overlooked close-to-shore structure, subtle baits for lethargic redfish and trout, hot-water flounder tactics, and why smaller, less invasive presentations can be the key when shallow fish get sluggish in August. Capt. Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing follows with a nearshore and inshore report focused on live pogies, gas platforms, red snapper, sharks, triple tail, flounder, and speckled trout. Patric breaks down how he's using pogies on Carolina rigs and slow-sinking presentations around nearshore structure, why bait variety matters from day to day, and how a recent triple tail tagging trip showed just how important bait choice, electronics, and not breaking fish off can be. He also explains why speckled trout have been one of the most reliable bright spots of the summer. Capt. King Marchand closes the fishing side with an offshore report from the Lady Ann, where a slow tuna bite has pushed him toward snapper, triggerfish, deep-drop grouper, beeliners, and swordfish. King explains how reading small anomalies on electronics can make or break a daytime swordfish trip, why he has adjusted his overnight strategy, and how he's targeting yellowedge grouper, snowy grouper, beeliners, and triggerfish when tuna are not cooperating. The episode also includes a safety-focused sponsor conversation with Mitchell Smith of Pike Consulting Group, covering boat safety, Garmin InReach, kill switches, ditch kits, OSHA compliance, worker training, and why small businesses should get ahead of safety issues before they become expensive problems.

Photo by Michael Martine, Hamptonville, North Carolina, Oct 2018 Published 27 July 2026 e562 with Andy and Michael M – EMFCamp recap, whole lot of LEGO love, the game of life, a Playdate mini MMO, AR assisted murals and a whole lot more! Andy and Michael M start off with a recap of Andy's experiences at EMF Camp while Michael R is away for this episode.  Andy shares his experiences, describes the “Monumental GameBoy”, how visitors to his campsite enjoyed playing his LEGO pinball machine and his updates to the EMF badge (such as Pigs in Space!).  Check out the show notes below for a few visual links, including the Joust game for the Tildagon badge and more.  Michael M went to an event at a local arcade in Chapel Hill and only noticed as he was leaving that they too had a Joust cabinet game. Andrzej Marczewski wrote an article in gamified.uk about the game of life – not the one by Hasbro or Conway – rather the game of life itself with resources to manage and protect.   Andy and Michael enjoyed Andrzej's take, especially how he treated progress and score.  Going from the macro to the micro, the team also took a look at the Playdate miniMMO PointlessQuest.  Andy may give this a shot on his Playdate soon!  Next, it's on to LEGO, and there are so many new cool drops from Billund.  Andy already mentioned his pinball table during the EMF recap.  After checking out the playable Donkey Kong game, the pair then takes a look at the new Star Trek Enterprise 1701 bridge.  With 8 minifigs from the original series, and features such as the rocking command chair, transporter room actions and troubling Tribbles, there's something for every Star Trek fan. And the team just loved just how many LEGO bricks it took to make the Enterprise bridge set. Then, Andy and Michael take a look at how an artist created a mural using sketchar.io augmented reality – just like using transparencies and an overhead projector from days of yore.  If that doesn't ring a bell, have a look at the YouTube from the Computer History Museum below.    Many thanks to @lxs@fosstodon.org for sharing this mural designing video with us!   Who is your favorite original Star Trek character?  Have your bots

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.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya covers a difficult midsummer pattern around Pensacola, where heavy rain, dirty water, lower salinity, extreme heat, and inconsistent bait have affected both inshore and offshore fishing. This episode features Brandon Barton with Emerald Waters Kayak Charters and Capt. Tyler Massey with Hot Spots Charters. Brandon Barton starts with the kayak report, where dirty beach water has made Pensacola tarpon difficult to locate and target. He explains how the bite may shift toward nighttime bridge fishing, trolling live menhaden along light lines, and using heavier leaders in stained water. Brandon also shares dock-light tactics for trout and redfish, including downsizing artificial shrimp, casting past the light, working shadow lines first, and fishing above-water lights. Capt. Tyler Massey wraps up with the inshore and offshore report, where freshwater runoff temporarily pushed out bait, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and other surface fish. He explains why deeper natural bottom has been more productive than wrecks for red snapper, vermilion snapper, scamp, and grouper, and how cut bait and two-hook rigs can create a feeding frenzy. Tyler also covers early trout, dock redfish, mangrove snapper, and a steady flounder bite around passes and deeper structure.

Anna Davlantes, WGN Radio's investigative correspondent, joins Bob Sirott to share what happened this week in Chicago history. Stories include the capture of Chance the Snapper, how the Sears Tower became the Willis Tower, the opening of Brookfield Zoo, and more.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya covers a rainy summer pattern from Pensacola to Destin, with dirty water, tarpon, sargassum, offshore kayak action, pressured snapper, sharks, and night fishing all affecting the bite. This episode features Brandon Barton with Emerald Waters Kayak Charters, Tom Hilton with Hilton's Realtime Navigator, and Captain Adam Schroeder with Ignite The Bite Charters. Brandon Barton starts in Pensacola, where tarpon are showing up along the beach as they migrate west. He breaks down how he targets them from the kayak by slow trolling live bait, watching for rolling fish, staying around the second sandbar and color-change zone, and keeping a second live bait ready to pitch. Brandon also covers the kayak bite for kings, snapper, bonito, Spanish mackerel, mahi, and amberjack, plus strong inshore and night fishing for trout, redfish, and bull reds around dock lights, bridges, and bait schools. Tom Hilton joins the show to explain how heavy sargassum is shaping offshore fishing across the Gulf. He talks through how Hilton's Real Time Navigator helps anglers find grass lines, fishable water, current edges, sea temperature breaks, bait, and structure. Tom also explains why sargassum can be both a problem and an opportunity, creating nursery habitat and feeding zones while making trolling difficult when it gets too thick. Captain Adam Schroeder closes with a Destin nearshore report for Ignite The Bite Charters. Adam has been finding a better bite east of Destin on natural bottom, with red snapper, red grouper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, scamp, and triggerfish in the mix. He explains how dead bait, squid, live threadfins, pinfish, chum, light fluorocarbon, clean knots, and spot-lock trolling motors can help fire up pressured fish. Adam also notes that sharks and dolphins have made some public reef areas tougher, making natural bottom a better option when conditions allow.

Anglers who fish in Alabama waters will now gain more access to American red snapper, effective the Friday before Memorial Day. The 2026 season for private recreational anglers and state-licensed charter boats opened May 22 and will run seven days a week. The season will remain open until the NOAA Fisheries allocation of 664,552 pounds is projected to be met or Dec. 31, whichever comes first. “Under state management we have the ability to adapt our red snapper season to meet the needs of anglers who fish in Alabama,” said Chris Blankenship, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and...

Capt. Kirk was out doing some OSR, so Capt. Kevin and Jeff welcomed in Harley from CSS Fireplaces and Outdoor Living, along with some heavy hitters for a special episode of the show. The headline story, as you know, was the blocking of snapper season by a federal judge…THE DAY BEFORE THE SEASON BEGAN. Yeah, we know. Here’s the thing: it’s complicated, so the boys brought in Brett Hastings, attorney extraordinaire, to explain a bit of it in a way we can all understand. This is a MUST-LISTEN for anyone who fishes our waters or benefits from recreational fishing in any way – which is all of us. But this story goes beyond the legal aspects, so the boys brought in Dr. Darin Willingham to talk about it, too. He talked about the fisheries and the effects of the injunction on local recreational anglers as well as the economic impact on the community. Of course, we’re all trying to figure out what to do next. Unfortunately, it’s time to wait for all the other parties to move forward.  In the meantime, it doesn’t hurt to reach out to your local representative, state senators and the governor’s office to keep this a priority for them. If you need to consult an attorney, Brett is your man! Visit his firm’s website, HastingsInjuryLaw.com, to learn more about what Brett and his team can do for you. Here's your L.V.

“Best day ever.” Stephanie Gilmore said it best. An incredible finish to one of the most memorable CTs in recent memory that was the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro Presented by GWM, crowned Australia's own GOAT Gilmore and Ethan Ewing in a Queensland sweep. The masses made their way down to Snapper Rocks and stacked it to the brim, celebrating a record-setting 34th CT win by Gilmore and Ewing's second CT win on home soil and third-career CT victory. The GOAT Gilmore reestablished herself as the Queen of Snapper over GWM Aussie Treble winner and new World No. 1 Luana Silva. Then, Ewing's excellence superseded the decimating backhand power of Connor O'Leary to find his first major result of 2026. Gabriel Medina is joined by a new yellow leaders jersey with fellow Brazilian Silva claiming the GWM Aussie Treble, and keys to a brand new GWM Tank 300 to conclude the CT's start in Australia. This marks the first time Silva will wear yellow heading into New Zealand after a Quarterfinal and back-to-back Final appearances to start 2026.  The Boost Mobile Heat of the Day went to the Queensland quarrel between Ewing and Liam O'Brien that down to the final exchange to see who would enter the Final. In the end O'Brien's last-minute efforts were eclipsed by Ewing's excellence.

Watch the latest episode of Stab in the Dark X starring Kelly Slater here https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/watch-... Any genuinely endearing conversation might hinge on seating Dane Reynolds next to someone improbable and letting the room do the work. Last week: the reigning world champ. This week: Kelly Slater, calling in from New Zealand. Four months post hip replacement, the greatest surfer of all time admits he can barely lift his knee into a car some days, but he insists the robo-hip already outperforms the real one, which had been dragging him through agony for the last four years. He'd been surfing through pain the whole time. Laird Hamilton personally rang to convince him to get on the operating table. A wellness check, from one absurdly fit old-boy to another. He also reveals that during Stab In The Dark X, his back seized up for four days straight. Bedridden and unable to walk without looking like a pretzel. But you can't keep a good goat down. He still paddled out, still tested six nearly identical boards, all while wrangling Snapper crowds and soft Gold Coast walls. Remarkably, Kelly admits to not having watched a single episode of SITD X. Not one. Just the Instagram clips. That's it. Is this the surf equivalent of Johnny Depp claiming he's never seen one of his own movies? Similar star power, frankly. On the topic of SITD, Kel talks candidly about the awkwardness of judging shapers while owning a board company himself, and why he never publicly burned a design, even when it deserved it. More interesting is his philosophy: shapers shouldn't try to guess what Kelly wants. He wants what they actually make, otherwise it's just pasteurised performance foam. From there, the gents get into lineup politics, snowboarding double blacks, and the simple economic reality that waves are limited, egos are not, hence grown men hissing over them. The ISA's new Olympic qualifying system gets a light public flogging. And yes, Kelly is a believer in the machine. Put Olympic surfing in a wave pool. Standardise it, industrialise it, flip the switch and hear the system roar.

Alec Naman from Naman's Catering called and said, "Let's cook a little Snapper this week. How about Sauteed Snapper Piccata." Sounds delish!!  It's What's Cooking Snapper Piccata     Ingredients 2 yellow tail snapper filets (about ⅓ lb each, bones and skin removed (see notes for other fish that work with this recipe)) 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/8 tsp black pepper 2 tbsp flour 2 + 2 tbsp olive oil 2 + 2 tbsp butter 2 small shallots (minced, about 2 tbsp) 2 tbsp capers 1/4 cup white wine (dry) 1 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp lemon zest 2 tbsp flat leaf Italian parsley (chopped) Instructions 1.            Salt and pepper both sides of the snapper filet. On a plate, add the flour in an even layer. Flour both sides of the fish and dust off any excess flour. 2.            In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter. Once the butter is shimmering, add in the snapper filets. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, using a fish spatula to flip the fish. When flipping fish in a skillet to avoid it breaking apart, I utilize the side of the skillet to assist in supporting my flip and then bring the fish back flat. A splatter screen is also very helpful when cooking fish in oil. Once the fish is cooked, remove and add to a side plate. 3.            Lower heat to medium low and add 2 tbsp olive oil, shallots, and capers. The pan will be hot, so sauté for only a minute before deglazing the pan with the white wine. Cook the wine for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and 2 tbsp of butter. 4.            Once the butter is melted add the snapper filet's back into the pan. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. Baste the snapper for 1 minute by tilting the pan and using a spoon to spoon the lemon butter caper sauce over the snapper. Zest lemon over the top of the filets and serve. 5.            Serve as is or my favorite way to enjoy the snapper piccata is over roasted asparagus and risotto.

In “Oh, Snapper! Mislabeled Mississippi Seafood,” Gravy producer Boyce Upholt takes listeners to Biloxi, Mississippi—a town that has long called itself the Seafood Capital of the World. But in May 2024, shocking news hit the community: Mary Mahoney's Old French House, an iconic restaurant, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to misbrand fish and wire fraud. For years, the iconic 60-year-old establishment had been selling cheap imported fish as premium local Gulf seafood, defrauding more than 55,000 customers. What makes this story particularly fascinating is the public's reaction, or lack thereof. Despite learning they'd been deceived, loyal diners packed Mary Mahoney's after the guilty plea, with customers posting on Facebook about their continued support for “their favorite restaurant.” This unexpected response reveals the complexities of the local identity in a place that is grappling with economic and environmental change. Biloxi's seafood industry once thrived on genuine abundance. Indigenous peoples had harvested oysters here for thousands of years, and by 1904, the town earned its “seafood capital” moniker through a booming cannery industry that shipped Gulf oysters nationally and internationally. But the same forces that built Biloxi's reputation—industrialization and globalization—eventually undermined it. Imported seafood began dragging down local prices in the 1980s, and disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill further devastated the fishing fleet. Mary Mahoney's fraud, meanwhile, turned out to be just the tip of an iceberg. A consulting group used genetic testing and found that out of 44 area restaurants, only 8 were properly labeling their shrimp. Yet Biloxi's dining scene is also experiencing a renaissance. Chefs like Alex Perry at Vestige and Austin Sumrall at White Pillars have earned James Beard nominations while championing local ingredients and sustainable sourcing. Even at more casual spots like Bradley's—located inside a gas station—proprietors prove that serving authentic Gulf seafood can be both affordable and profitable. What parts of Biloxi's identity matter? What does it mean, really, to be local? As Biloxi transforms from a working fishing port into a tourist destination dotted with casinos and chain restaurants, the town faces a choice about what parts of its heritage to preserve. The seafood fraud scandal serves as a mirror, reflecting not just economic pressures but cultural ones—revealing how a community that built its identity on the ocean's bounty must now decide whether that connection still matters.

In this episode of the Afterburn Podcast, John “Rain” Waters is joined by Vince “Snapper” Sherer, a veteran A-10 pilot with 4,500 flight hours and 299 combat missions. Snapper breaks down his path from the Air Force Academy to deployments across Afghanistan flying the A-10A and A-10C, including time in the MC-12. He details the evolution of close air support, the integration of targeting pods, and the challenges of executing time-sensitive strikes in complex environments. Snapper also shares how personal events—including his brother's career-ending accident and a high-casualty strike on a high-value target—shaped his approach to combat and leadership. The discussion covers training, weapons employment, A-10 capabilities, and the operational realities of supporting ground forces across multiple conflicts.Snapper YT: https://www.youtube.com/@snapperlandSnapper IG: https://www.instagram.com/snapperland
