Don't scroll past, guys. I'm David and I follow you guys. I recommend Shawn Oneal as your general contractor with Integrity Construction. I've been a general contractor for 40 + years and I know they do have integrity. I totally support local Gulf Shores businesses. Congratulations and wish you all the success!.
Congratulations Matt! It takes nerve to buy a business in an economic downturn and assume the additional overhead, though I have no doubts with your pre-existing marketing, hard work, and dedication, that the Bama Beach Bum store will be a great success!
@@chriswincek8672 Dollar stores and other discount retailers are, not everyone else. I own 2.5 small businesses - we are in a downturn that's getting massively worse.
What an amazing thing to see your friends growing and helping build their community. Especially, in a sport their so passionate about! This is really going to help the fishing scene in our area! Bravo guys! Can’t wait to see what it turns into! 👏👏👏 -D
Congratulations! Excited to see where things go. Watching your channel got me into surf fishing. If you need any decking, fencing, or railing call Cooper Fence. We do a lot of work in the Gulf Shores area. Thanks man
Three of my favorite fishing channels putting a sweet store together..awesome! Looking forward to doing business with ya'll, but feeling a bit bad for the other stores😮💨
Way to go! You are in the perfect location. Right side of the road for those coming in to town. If the service is decent, you've got my business. Best of luck!
Congrats man. Thats cool you posted the zoom call with what seems previous owners/investors. Ive been following since since 2018 I think. This is great, hopefully one day I can come visit. God Bless
Wow, what an absolute blessing to do life with friends! I have no doubt this is going to be the start of something incredible for all of you. Congratulations 🎉
I Come From The Walker family in Orange Beach we were the first family to settle the area in 1865. I know how hard it is for a new tackle store to come in and start a business but I already know y'all will do great because y'all have a great fan base. Can't wait to come shopping there it will be my go-to-spot.
So Proud of y’all !! I have relatives that live down there I will be definitely coming by to see you guys I have been following y’all for a long time 🐟🎣
Congratulations to all of you! About 3yrs ago I happened upon beach fishing thanks to meeting a guy in Emerald Isle, NC who was glad to talk to me about what he was doing, I then searched on RU-vid & found this Bama Beach Bum guy, & the next thing ya know I owned a 10’ rod w reel for $30 & some basic tackle (circle hooks thanks to Matt) that I bought at a gas station. Caught & cooked a Bluefish. Found Brad & Ron, & then Brad, & you all were buddies. Very cool. Taught me a lot over the years. Even bought Matt’s Saltwater course! This year I caught my first two sharks from the sand, much thanks to you guys. No one deserves this opportunity more than y’all. Good luck to ya, I’ll keep ya in my prayers 😎
You guys are going to be the Ron Jons of tackle stores. Better make sure you have tons of stickers, t-shirts, and hats to sell because you are likely to sell more of those than fishing lures. Make sure to get extra t-shirts for the ladies. They will sell out fast. That's one of the things my wife always comments on or notices. I think your brand is going to be far more lucrative, but please don't stop the fishing stuff. That is what brought us here in the first place. Cheers!
Congratulations!! I want to come work for you guys. Seriously. I grew up fishin' in Florida, I never met a stranger, and I speak Spanish fluently. I would love to help with the store, and with your RU-vid channels. And I'm looking to relocate to the saltwater from the NC foothills. I have excellent references, my boss lets me live in the shop. I'm tired of construction and I miss fishin' like crazy. So I'd really like to talk to you guys about working for y'all. I can't imagine a better job.
When Bass Pro opened it became a Mecca for outdoorsman. People drive eight plus hours to visit. I hope your venture will be the same. I live in NC and I know I'll be taking a Gulf Shores fishing trip! Congrats!
Awesome! Congrats guys! I know where I'll be buying all my stuff when I'm down on the coast now! I will most certainly be attending the grand opening as well!
I really appreciate all of your content. I wish you great success. That being said, I am a native of Tampa FL. South Eastern liquidators was my second home. Great prices, products, and knowledge came out of that place. They will be missed. I hope to make it up to see your new location and fish your shorelines. Thanks again for all the great content that you , Brant, and Brad provide.
Congratulations to you guys. I look forward to seeing the transformation in the months to come. I feel the vision you have described. It will be much more than the big box stores have to offer. Good luck!!!!
Congratulations! You couldn't find three different personalities that blend together any better than you guys do. I look forward to doing business with you. Great name for the business. Congrats again.
Wow. I hope you guys are successful in this new venture. As an passionate fisherman who has lived in Tampa for the past 30 years Southeast Fishing was my go to store for Years. The location was not great and I believe that construction on Florida Ave really hurt their business. What I think ultimately made them want to get out of this business is relentless competition from Tampa fishing outfitters. They now have multiple large stores in the Tampa/St.Pete area and I believe are in business or owned by Lee Fisher, they make great cast nets and supply the commercial fishing industry. The one thing Tampa Fishing Outfitters does consistently is hire local guides to work on their days off. They are a wealth of local fishing knowledge and they also do classes in the evening at the store which are a great resource for some one like me that owns a retail store and never seem to have the time to fish the way I did prior to buying my office 20 years ago. Having them point me in the right direction when I have not been on the water for two or three months is really awesome. Maybe something you guys can incorporate into your store. I hope this does not eat into your time for making content but the reality of running a retail business is that it is all consuming. A 40 hour workweek is out the window. You never seem to be off even when you are off your mind is still thinking about the business. I now fish maybe 6-7 times a year and sadly get my fix watching you guys on you tube. Most of my fishing is done at night so I expect more night fishing or really early morning videos from you. 😊
I found brant when I was looking for tips on how to land base fish around the destin area 3 years ago which lead me to all 3 of you and Ron. I haven’t missed a video since. You guys have knocked this game outa the park. Congrats and I’ll be down to check it out!!!! Pumped for more vids.
Visited Gulf Shores Motors a few times while working down there! We do pipeline work for Gulf Shores Utilities and have spent a lot of time down there over winters. Been some years but so cool to see this happen!
Best of luck to all involved. It sounds like a great idea...You have the knowledge and experience of what you will be selling to make the business a smashing success.
You guys are so blessed! I wish I lived there so I could purchase in person, but I will do the online thing! Congratulations guys! That’s is awesome news 🎣
Frickin awesome man. Been watching you for a bit. You and your family seem like genuine, good people, and I'm thrilled to death to see you proving the American dream is alive and well. It takes a lot of courage and faith to step out and do something like this. I'll come visit every time I'm in the area. I know you'll KILL it!
I'm planning on moving to Pensacola this spring. I'm going to give up Wisconsin deer hunting and taking up surf fishing when I make the move. I'm subscribed to all your channels trying to take in the knowledge y'all offer. I look forward to stopping by. So far all I own and can contribute to a new hobby is a filet knife.
Awesome, Can't wait to visit your retail shop. Just retired, live in Wisconsin, but have a place in Gulf Shores so we will be down a few times a year. Wife says I should get a part time job working at a tackle store!
