In this episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, host Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola for a winter-focused breakdown of inshore fishing conditions along the Alabama coast. The show features Sam Sumlin from Community Fly Supply in Gulf Shores, who shares fly fishing tactics for redfish and speckled trout, including dock-light fishing, line and fly selection, and how to deal with wind and spooky winter fish. Sam also offers practical advice for anglers new to fly fishing and highlights upcoming fly-tying nights and regional fly fishing events.

Later, Captain Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing delivers an inshore update from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and surrounding tidal rivers, explaining how recent heavy rains flushed the system with freshwater and scattered trout. He breaks down how to adjust expectations, where fish tend to relocate after major river rises, and why slowing down presentations and using electronics is critical during cold, high-water conditions. The episode provides timely, actionable insight for anglers navigating rapidly changing winter patterns on Alabama's coast
