Enjoying it. Live in Alabama now, but grew up in the Cape. Really enjoyed your video fishing for stripers on your first day out on the inlet during what looked like an incoming tide. I realize it may be outside your wheelhouse, but you should try flyfishing for stripers on the flats while you're up there too - Lots of awesome spots, especially out of Chatham.
I am from Louisiana but like to Fish different places too and catch different species. Love to catch Spanish and Mango's in Perdido Pass when I come to Bama Keep doing what you enjoy.
cape cod native here .. been fishing canal for 20+ years.. no snakes but you will see some minks aka ferrets. there friendly and amazing to watch theyll jump right in canal and snag mackeral . they were realeased there years to to help kill off the rat population and theyve done a great job ... sometimes see a random deer other than that sometime a few whales and east end tuna ...
I grew up on the canal. Me and my high school buddies walked across the railroad bridge when it was down. Trains crossed 2 times a day, we knew when and walk/run across (totally illegal), got chased off a couple of times. Cape Code is awesome.
Wow, I'm shocked that the locals gave you honest advice. Ha ha. The ten count has always been my method. I can tell by the first lure what bait shop you went to. The Savage eel is also a great canal lure and so is a Sebile magic swimmer in bone.I wish I could've met up with you while you're here. I love this series for obvious reasons and I feel bad for John because of his allergies. Awesome video series!
Video just does not do these rocks justice. They were no joke! Day 3 = 3rd epic video to an awesome series. I cheese out so much watching these and re-living the moments.
Excellent video, there's nothing quite like fresh striper. I live in Orleans on Cape Cod for the past 13 years. I've been to the canal many many times. I'm glad you liked Cape Cod 👍☮️🇺🇲
Stryper “Rock Fish” best prepared with salt, pepper and Old Bay and smothered in mayo. Wrap in tin foil and cook at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Taste like blue crab if cooked correctly.
BBB just a quickie to the Ninja guys. I got a couple of your rods. A Bummy Stick and just got a 12' Dagger K Series. I just took it out for 1st time yesterday here in Tx and was very happy with it. Pulled out a 9' Hammerhead and couple of big Redfish and Big uglies. Ive used the Bummy Stick awhile so I guessed the Dagger would be the same quality. Just to say nice tackle guys.
Another great video Matt. Safe journey home. Oh you might want to give Brant a call he has taken up storm chasing down in Pensacola. Said something about you joining him to ride shotgun. Lol. Both of you guys do so much for your viewers and I for one really enjoy y'alls videos. Tight lines Bama.
Cape Cod series has been fun to watch, very enjoyable. Good job on the monster. Next thing we will see instead of Bama Beach Bum will be Cape Cod Beach Bum. Fish looked terrific. Thanks for the videos
I love to catch and eat stripe.. my favorite way to cook stripe is in a smoker, or in the stove or in the fryer, or on the grill or in the etc..lol love the video brother
I lived and fished on Cape Cod for many years and spent a lot of years fishing in the exact area when you were. Those were the days. Live in Vermont now on Lake Champlain.
I’ve been watching channel but didn’t subscribe. But now, you earned it, fishing on my turf. If you ever come back here another time and want to get on a boat, I’ll take you out.
Outer Cape Cod here...its going off from the beach right now The canal is always a challenge-- takes some time Sending love from MA...come on back Hear that Oriole at the end of the vid...thats when you know they are back and biting...listen for.the Orioles
The biggest Stripped Bass that I ever caught was 39in at it was in New Mexico and it was in Elephant Butte. I used a big minnow and a bobber. Stripped Bass are delicious 😋
I'm glad to see you catch a stud striper. Chasing stripers is a passion of mine too. I fish behind a giant hydro dam and the current is strong which makes the 22-27 inch stripers feel much bigger. The land locked fish I'm after average about 10-12 pounds but a 15-18 is a true trophy. I can't even imagine how hard that 38 in fish fought.
Man, you are bringing back memories for me. Fished right where u were in 2005. I know how it feels to hook up on the big ones. It’s a blast!!! Thanks man. You all be safe on your return trip!!
Another cool video. Thanks man! What are you going to be able to cross off on your next Cape cod Day 4, or will we just have to wait and see? Anyway, thanks again and God bless!
Striper ceviche is amazing literally look up a basic recipe and go for it. Limes lemons and cilantro. Good to go. Try it my friend. The fam will enjoy too.
Such an awesome video as usual, but my #1 new favorite thing about your channel is that if you watch with subtitles, it almost always says "good morning beach bumps" in the intro. Absolutely slays me. 😂
Congrats on your striper that was one really nice fish that's going to be a hard PB to break but I know you're going to try feel bad for John that he can try what he catches as much as I like fish and seafood that would kill me your trip to Cape Cod has been quite the adventure can't wait to see what you do next👍👍
Born and bred in Ma. love that you came up to the cape and so much fun god bless you and yours. I love your videos, I also fish OBX pretty regularly. Thinking I may have to run down to the Bama coast to look you up and try my hand on your great beaches. All the Best
Congrats on your Cape Cod visit but may I suggest that you both invest in a pair of Korkers with spikes those rocks can be treacherous. Lemon pepper is great for striper enjoyed your video too
We were catching hammers (up to 46 pounds) on topwaters until the other day in NJ. A 25 pounder to a 40 pounder is a different fish. The canal is pretty cool, but try RI, Montauk and NJ. That canal doesn't start firing up for a bit
Fantastic video!! If The Bama Beach Bum puts his feet in the sand, soon he'll have fish in his hand...lots of fish 🐟. Stay bummy up there catching them drag pullers.
BAMA, Hello, I passed that SHIP CANAL years ago going to BASS RIVER ( FALMOUTH. ) for a wedding , a dear friends son had the wedding there, STRIPERS are really nice to eat, stay well be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great series....love the video! Most of my stripers come from the Chesapeake bay. They are delicious....foil tray on the grill, hickory chunk in the coals, butter and the lightest dusting of old bay. Now I am hungry!! 😋 Enjoy the cool weather!
Nice fishing there in the canal. Stripers are my favorite fish to target usually i release most of them. Friends and family that i hooked up with fresh filets keep asking me for more. I'm sure you get this too lol. The biggest ones hit closer to shore at night some right at my feet on the rocks on the jetty. I'm from Md but love Indian River Inlet Delaware.
I have really enjoyed this series. Those were some awesome fish. I've never used a swim bait to catch Stripper. Grew up using Cotton Cordell Red Fin. And a Bucktail. Really enjoyed all the content.
The Cape series is fantastic, love the stoke!!! Watching you guys walking the riprap with no korkers strapped on…I’ve been waiting someone to take hard digger! Fish On 🔥
Love this series and also the OBX series since I'm from NC. Thank you Bama, I have learned so much from your videos - just had my 75th BD and looking forward to tomorrow as much as ever! Surf fishing is my passion! Got my Bummy stick not long ago and can't wait to Christen it!!
Wish you could've fished the Santee in the 70's-80's before the state introduced white perch. We caught 40-50# fish daily. It was the last wild run in the south
Awesome video from Yankeeland 😂! A bluefish trip like that would be great whenever they have their big bluefish run. Courtneys attempt at a Boston accent was impressive 😂.
Man Matt, what a beautiful fish! Congrats on the PB. Love to see all of you fishing different locations, and putting out great content! Poor John has a bad deal, I would just eat some benadryl like chicklets, and try some of that fish!
I started chasing stripers in the Canal in the mid-80s. My first catch was a couple of inches undersize, and I was heart-broken. While fishing with worms I also caught tautog - ugly fish, but nice eating! The 'best' lure - or place - is constantly changing, so it doesn't make much sense to chase advice. In the Canal, mostly something that sinks, with a little wiggle to it.
Caught my first ever striped bass in cape cod. This place is home even tho I live in maryland but I tried catching a striper for weeks and months here in MD and then i decided to take a drive 8 hours to the cape and caugjt my first one it's even on fishebrain (:
Great video matt... you are really fun to watch... the canal is a whole different ballgame... you would love it at night during the fall run... right under the bridge is a great spot. Congrats!
Sorry you didn’t have seasoning for the cook. I have tried everything under the Sun and have settled on McCormick golden dip Fish fry. I use butter or olive oil. Both are great.
@@tonybaroud3511 Thanks Tony,Just called it how I saw it those videos take a great deal of time and effort, and to be fortunate enough to catch Quality Fish like this all while videoing. My Wife purchased me a GoPro sometime ago so I can start producing some of my Outings, and I’m from Chicago Illinois, and yourself?
But did you get any "CHOWDA" ??? LOL ... In the opening scene the color and clarity of the water was really something to see. So glad you and your friends and families were all able to make the trip. However, I will call into question the judgement of any man that would eat pizza over fresh fish. That just ain't right, lololol.
Matt...Great video footage of some great fish and great cooking. A great way to cook striper is bronzing it. It is not a drastic as blackened but the texture and the flavor are better quick cooking it in a cast iron fry pan. I've heard about the striper fishing in the canal and the rivers of Mass and RI. It used to be like that in NJ when I was growing up 50 years ago in the Delaware Bay and the Mullica River (Gravely Point was known for monster fish!). Striper season on the OBX this past year was two weekends this spring with no fish under 18" nor between 22-27".
