My wife blames you for getting me into surf fishing LOL! Oh well. She gets a beach trip 3 times a year now. Thanks for everything and keep up the great content.
I was in Perdido Key last week 10/15-10/22 boy did it get cold. I didn’t get to fish since I fell out of my tree stand 10/05/22 broke my neck my l5 my wrist and my pelvis in 3 places. The water was so calm and clear. At least I got out of Indiana and enjoyed the sun! We’ll be back been going since I was 12 now I’m 46. My boys tried off the beach but nothing. Love your content 🎃
Excellent video again, Matt! Thanks for the explanation on tackle and gear! Everything is spot on to what I use! Great help and great advice! Stay Safe and Healthy!!
Awesome! Thank you! This is back to your roots. I watch all your videos. It's not that I don't like the newer videos, but these are the videos that originally drew me to be a subscriber. I subscribed very early on and had a trip with you in April of 2018. It taught be how to be really successful at fishing the AL Gulf Coast for Pompano, whiting, etc. I had been searching for this kind of information since 2001. For years, there was nothing. Then you created a great resource. I hope you continue to create this kind of content.
Very informative video Triple B. So nice for you to break it down slowly and go over everything one by one in your setup for the target species. Yourself, Brant, Double B and CMR are the best of the best. Love seeing the family as well. Never change and as you say " you stay Bummy"!
Matt as always love your Vids. Noticed the change in how you fashion the content. Totally enjoyed the trip to Bass Pro Shop and the explanation on the lures and features of how they differ. Wish you would do an episode on local bait and tackle shops. Explain what they offer and how to get the most out of them. Being a out of towner this would be applicable to those vacationing surf fisherman. Keep On Keeping On Brother.
Thx Matt for the learning tips- it’s the great content for us to vary our fishing adventures. Doubled up on some Pompano Wednesday near the portofino condo towers during travels in Pensacola earlier this week. Truly a beautiful area-
Love all the tips, one day I will get a chance to actually try out my new found knowledge. I did get down to Ft.Myers but just in time to help my cousin secure their home and evacuate ahead of Ian.
Great video. Just what i was looking for! Do you ever go below the 2oz lure rating of your 10’ MH Fast power rod? If so, whats the lightest you would go?
Excellent as always !! If you haven’t seen it go back to the video where Matthew tells of how he decided to launch his channel. It got me hooked and it was a great inspiration!
Bass Pro sure has a lot of products for fishing and hunting. The only thing that kind of turned me off the last time I shopped at their store in Destin, Fl was that they only gave the 5% military discount to selected cheaper items. Dicks Sporting Goods gave me 10% on all the items that I bought so that is where I’m shopping now.
Nice video. I only do set rig fishing in the surf but am looking to get into artificials. Would be great if you did a video with some more information about how to retrieve these lures.
Good information on the gear. Can you do an updated video for gear that beginners can look into? Maybe all the needed gear to get started including rods and reels for $150 or less?
Love your videos! Are you cool with your line to line knot going thru your guides? Or is your mono leader shorter, so on your cast, it doesn't go thru the top guide? Peace out
Matthew ~ Great Videos, I really do enjoy them and wish I could fish as well as you do. I do have a question; what do you do in regards to maintaining your rods & reels? I was saltwater fishing from the surf this year (Myrtle Beach, SC) and now my reels seem to be a bit gritty and hard to reel. So, what do I need to do to them to clean them up and get them ready for my next surf fishing adventure? Thanks & hope to hear from you!!! Take Care & God Bless!!!
Thanks for the info, now what to look for @ sporting goods department where I work @. Usually I spend my lunch hour looking for fish things that are on sale or clearance. Thanks again, keep it up!!
Thank You 🙏 for the tackle advice - I got a 10 foot Penn Battle III 8000 with 25 pound mono - sounds like I really messed up the line I picked out. I just subscribed to your channel.
love them HALCOs. I noticed you use those quick clips on your leader. Any advantage using them versus just tying a loop knot? ( I mean other than it makes it quick and easy to change baits )
Great information may I ask, have you ever considered using plugs that are commonly used in the northeast for stripe bass and bluefish? darter plugs, needle fish lure, big bucktail jigs, bottle and metal lip plugs. I would like to see how commonly used New England surf tackle would works down there.
This was a great video. I've been trying to talk my buddy into making a weekend drive down to GS for the fall run. We target those Crappie from the beginning of the video most weekends, but I'm itching to give the surf fishing a try.
Great video. thank you so much for the breakdown of lures at bass pro. Thank you for the great description of your gear. I want to live the beach bum lifestyle. Unfortunately work gets in the way. Lets Stay Bummy.
What size and kind hook do you use to switch hooks from treble? Not a fan of trebles and would prefer single hooks that work for ES or Poppers. Thanks in advance.
Nice fish man, coming down in a few weeks. Is set rig fishing still good this time of year? , would whiting still be prevalent? Or should I go after other species? I’ll be in the Fort Morgan - Orange Beach area. Thanks
Sounds crazy but I've always had fantastic results with white or chartreuse double jig tails. The body about 2.5" long before it goes into the curls on both sides. If you held the body facing down the 2 sides would look like you're making a "heart" shape. I walk in waist high water and walk up and down the beach with a 6'6" -7'6" medium rod , 12 lb test no steel leader but if you want use a mono leader. Cast parallel but into deeper water so you are between your lure and the beach. I've caught a few reds that way. Sure fire fishing in Sanibel Captiva
I really liked your "info" segment! And now that your channel is getting big, maybe you can acquire some other rods, reels, line, and lures,, and give your thoughts on their performance/quality. Yes, I understand you've already done most of that yourself, to the point of only using what you use,, but it would be interesting (at least to me) of hearing your perspective on different things? Including the info of "where" your fishing and why, is also nice to hear!
Matthew thanks for all of your informative content. You talked in this video about fishing a point by an inlet. Does the state of the tide have an impact on exactly where and when you fish at these areas? Thanks again for your content. I tell everyone that I really learned how to fish from the beach (I am in Longboat Key FL) from your channel!
Aloha. Used to live there and that’s where I started salt water fishing. From the beach, Rod n’ Reel as well as Anna Maria piers. If I had extra cash, I would rent a boat from Cannon’s Marina. Left in ‘83. Good times.
New to the channel and already love it. Any time I’ve been to the beach I’ve always used a 7 foot catfish set up but never made it past the wave break but worked perfect on the pier. What would you recommend for a rod and a reel just to catch what ever will eat. Sand fleas and shrimp and maybe some cutbate.
Great video as usual Brother 👍 I just wanted to ask if you know or ever fished with bama saltwater? Keep the great videos rolling out Matt and I’m looking forward to what you catch next 👌
great vids m8 I have a question for you , the beach cart you use is so awesome but here in New Zealand I cant seem to get one could you get a supplier to send one down here as I am 65 now the treck down the beach gets harder so one of those would be a lifesaver cherrs Gary
First, I must say I love your content. Always look forward to and love watching your videos. Having said that...towards the end of this video, when your fighting that big jack, did you notice that light in the sky? Kinda in the upper right area. It dont think its the moon or the sun. Possibly a UFO?
From a west coast beach bum, that sure looks like a powerful fish, and a beauty too! And from the partial view of the Sun setting in the west, I get the impression we're in.. Florida?
