Marlin, flounder, and mapping strategies—this week’s episode has it all.

In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry is joined by co-host Dylan Kiene to break down the latest onshore, inshore, and offshore action along the Gulf Coast.

Captain Tanner Deas shares inshore insights, highlighting the transition to live bait as water temps rise and explaining how he’s targeting flounder, speckled trout, and redfish around beaches, docks, and soft structure. Captain Jay O’Brien offers an offshore perspective, with reports on recent marlin activity, pelagic movement, and charter strategies heading into tournament season.

The crew also welcomes Tom Hilton of Hilton’s Realtime Navigator, who explains how to use altimetry, sea surface temps, and salinity maps to locate productive offshore zones. Whether you’re running the beach or heading deep, this episode is packed with tactical tips and tech-driven tools to help you fish smarter.
