Podcasts about Snapper

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.

Snapper Fishing by 102.9 The Hog

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a wide-open early summer bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from trout and redfish in the Mississippi Sound to surf fishing around Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, plus a strong red snapper opener nearshore. Butch Thierry is joined in studio by Capt. Branden Collier of Capt. Collier's Charters, who helps co-host the episode and later breaks down a hot red snapper bite, Calcutta pole snapper fishing, early triple tail signs, flounder on rocks and flooded grass, and quality speckled trout around mullet and grass flats. Capt. Shane Traylor of Bona Fide Inshore checks in with a report from his new 224 Blackjack, explaining how popping corks, live shrimp, Vudu shrimp, wind-blown banks, slicks, and shallow structure have been producing trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder in the Sound and Mobile Bay. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle brings the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores report, covering surf trout, redfish, Gulf flounder, ladyfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, grass issues, rough-water tactics, weedless plastics, twitch baits, fly fishing, and wake baits over shallow grass. It's a strong episode for anglers trying to make sense of early summer conditions, fish through wind and grass, and pick the right tactic whether they're wading, fishing the surf, working the flats, or running just offshore for snapper.

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.

If you were thrown into one of the toughest reality shows going, could you handle it? SAS Australia vs UK kicks off tonight on Channel 7, and it’s as brutal as ever. Mack Horton joins the show and admits to wetting his pants under pressure. Physically, it’s manageable, but mentally? That’s where it really breaks people. The athletes seem to cope better, able to switch off instantly, while the non-athletes struggle to find that balance. And yes neighbour’s Toadie is flying the flag for Team Australia. Mack is hilarious and chats about how it all went down! Meanwhile, big changes are coming to the Gold Coast, with the Surfers Paradise Esplanade now permanently closed to traffic. The push is on to be bold and finally bring beach clubs to life in the space. Annastacia Palaszczuk has a new book on the way, The Politics of Being Me although Liam reckons it should’ve been called Hard to Say, Easy to Read. There’s a lingering frustration about decisions made during the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast & Palaszczuk has apologised for how it was handled. Listener Jason from Mount Tamborine calls in, stunned at some of the show’s recent takes on their Podiums of Australian Bands. While Jase demanded answers from Liam and Spida, Leisel remained untouchable because she was head down, underwater, winning gold medals for the nation. In surf news, while Burleigh continues to dominate the conversation, Liam’s been down at Snapper and is all in on the return to the iconic rocks. The pros are already out there getting loose, and Dimity Stoyle has claimed the wildcard - her first tour appearance in 11 years. The buzz is building, and the team will be broadcasting live from the action this Friday morning!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 161: Adam from Aeroo DronesThis week we are joined by Adam from Aeroo Drones to chat about their unique Australian owned fishing drone. It can carry and deploy a 1kg bait out into the ocean, can fly in 50kmph winds and can capture it all in 4k video and 12 MP photos! We chat about Adam's own fishing and talk about how the Aeroo company began and how it has grown, now having over 10,000 customers across Australia. Adam reported that SA was its 3rd biggest market and we discussed some of the great spots your could use it across the state, including the Coorong for Mulloway, Port Lincoln for sharks, Snapper across the state and even maybe a Tuna off Victor Harbor when they come in close to shore! We also discuss the big news in SA fishing this week, with the state government announcing changes to the bag limits of the 4 key species affected most by the Algal Bloom restrictions. Squidding is banned in both gulfs, the spatial closure on Whiting around the bottom of Yorkes is back for 3 months - but Spencer Gulf returns to full normal limits, garfish is closed in Gulf of St Vincents while crabbing limits are back to normal across the state. Our tackle item of the week is the new Ledge Runner lure from Shimano. This revolutionary lure comes in 2 sizes: 160 and 200mm and has the ability to swim at different depths, depending how you set the ring at the front of the lure + comes with a Hydro Control wind to maintain a stable swimming action. We also have all of the fishing reports across the state, including Barrel Tuna in the South East, while David Rocca and his mate Rob caught a squid off Edithburgh (before the bans come into place) to take out our Shimano squidding prize pack.

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
