Excellent video, thank you. Could you share some details on your set up? How long is your 50 lb leader and what kind of knot do you use attaching to braid? Are you using a simple loop knot to the lure? I use a very long leader mostly to prevent slicing off my finger . Are you doing the same? Thank you! (Bummy Stick is awesome by the way).
I spent a week at the NC coast surf fishing and it was terrible. Not one Pmpano and only three whiting the entire week. I did catch a nice large Bonnet Head Shark nut that was it. The fish were gone! You are so lucky to live where you do with so much marine life around. I truly think that the NC coast has been destroyed as the fish we caught twenty years ago no longer exist here. It is so sad. Flounder fishing for this entire year has been shut down completely. I collect vintage saltwater spinning reels and took 19 reels and 14 rods to the beach with me. I hardly used a fourth of what I took with me. I wish you could see my reel collection,]. I have over 385 vintage reels that you would not believe. Take care and don’t get too hot in the sun Matt! - Chris
I was fishing last summer in the same area in this video and caught a huge 23 inch Spanish on a white magpopper while they were blitzing close to the beach
Was that in fort Morgan area? Was down last week had fun fishing that area saw big jacks busting in that area to. Staff at beach bum outdoors on the 9th in morning were great. Guy running register help me with info on what they were biting on and I caught a couple nice pomps. Great vid as always!
Where us a good place to park there? Ive only been out that way a couple of times, and i park at bon secor down mobil st. Hows parking down further thats close to beach?
@@naesyelmuhc7698 if you want to fish the point at fort Morgan go all the way down and there is parking at the pier/boat ramp and there is an access point to the beach. If you want to go to the beach and have fun or tan, there is a small parking lot right before the Fort that you can park at (on the weekend it fills up really fast).
Did you take only one rod and reel out there with you on this trip? If so, was it a particular piece of equipment that you decided to use because of what you were targeting? Or was it just something that you like to have with you that is tried and true, that sort of thing? I'm just trying to figure out what I would take with me if I went beach fishing and tried it out on my own sometime. What would be something basic or something maybe tried and true that you could give me a piece of advice on as far as taking with me. I'm not going to have four or five different 12 ft long rods with me and PVC. I might not even have a beach cart. I want to know what I can take that is the littlest amount with me, but still have enough to get the job done? Thanks anything you can help me out with I appreciate. Thanks for all the encouragement and facts that I've been getting from you for the past few years. God bless
normally ill just get a light or med action rod with 15 lb braid and a little spoon and you can usually catch almost anything that bites except maybe big jacks and tarpon
@@sweddishboi2739 How big or should I say, how small, of a reel can I get away with using? I've pretty much got what you all said, but I'm always hearing that I need to have a 3000 or bigger for a reel, and quite frankly I'm not sure what sizes I have. I do know that I have two old ones that were sold as ocean fishing gear, probably some 10 to 15 years ago, at least, and I've used them a few times and know that they should be okay. But all I really have for the most part is bass fishing equipment. All the other stuff you say sounds like I could get away with just walking up and down the beach trying for what I can get. That sounds like a dream to me! That's all I really need to know. Appreciate it bro thanks! God bless
Matt, do yourself a huge favor and switch over to single hooks on your casting jigs. I’ve found my hookup rate is higher and a lot easier to release w/o tearing their mouths.
I don't get it you started off as a good RU-vid channel to watch and now you along with your other fishing buddies do nothing but clickbait titles and clickbait thumbnails. Smh. Do you think your 145k subscribers wouldn't watch if you put an accurate title for the video?
