Matthew. Thanks for sharing this and your family time. I find myself watching more and more of your videos. I started fishing Padre Island National Seashore about a year ago when my wife started grad school there. We would get all excited with a little ladyfish, posing for pictures. Now we're catching big redfish on spoons, sometimes bait. I can catch 2 37" and be at my desk working before 9am! Thanks for the enjoyable, watchable style, I think you may hit the big time one day with a down-to-earth fishing show, and I can say "hey I learned from that guy on KZbin."

[@DavnerMelodian]

It’s good to see different ways to cook the fish of the sea. No matter how simple.

[@DavidTMSN]

This video was very comforting and wholesome to watch. Thank you.

[@martinparmer]

Hey BBB, I caught a 16" Pomp yesterday out at Johnson Beach yesterday. Thanks for what you teach!!

[@jeffreyterry357]

Hey man you have a nice looking family. Love all your videos; especially the catch and cook videos. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work.

[@martinparmer]

Beautiful family, dude. I'm camping at fort pickens this october and can't wait to surf fish again. you're videos have got me TORE UP!

[@PrecisionCleen]

Great video. Thanks for making it! Very helpful.

[@mithunvirgo]

Congrats and good luck man. I really enjoy all your videos. And you have a nice family too :)

[@paulzambito7592]

Thanks for the video. My confidence in filleting isn't there but I truly enjoyed this. You have an adorable family too.

[@chuckdyer4065]

another good video man, thanks to your tips and videos i did manage to catch 6 keeper pomps in panama city last week, my first keepers ever. keep up the great vids matt

[@BamaBeachBum]

That’s great to hear man! Glad you were able to hang some! Thanks for sharing!

[@dct581]

You did a great job! Don't hold yourself to any type of standard. I won't lie, I am a huge fan of Rob Arrington. You held your own in this video. I really liked seeing you and your bride cooking together. That hit home with me because my folks have always cooked together. As long as I can remember they have done that and involved my sister and me.(Granted that was 30 years ago when I lived at home, but they still cook together.) Brilliant!

[@Valerifon1]

Excellent job! Thanks!

[@michaelgreene]

Lil man paying attention. He's like, where is mine? LOL

[@89jlynch]

Great video! Me and the family are headed to Gulf Shores this wknd and I plan on shore fishing and hope to cook what I catch.

[@KennyP56]

Tasted great from here!

[@johnnyjohnson2733]

Glad to hear that bama hopefully the water will clear up soon so you can get back at it 🎣🎣

[@DesmondFishnReef]

Sand fleas are awesome bait up here too, great and awesome video brother

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks dude! Yeah a pompano swimming by can’t resist it

[@matthewcarneyfishing11]

Nice video!!!

[@biggslacker228]

Now I'm hungry ,nice cooking you both .

[@charlesreddick148]

Beautiful Family. That is an adorable Baby.

[@FishingFinAddict]

You're making us hungry! We can't wait to get a pompano! Hopefully we will when they're around here in the late summer.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Heck yeah, hope you get some!

[@frankarmand3378]

Beautiful family ❤ God bless y'all 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@michaelzettek6902]

You've got a beautiful family man, God-bless

[@patrickdonner3542]

I do the same thing w my sweet tators and asparagus though I sometimes cut the tators like big fries. Going to Fl. and hopefully catching something for my family. Well done.

[@wesidefoos]

Nice video 🤙

[@johnnyjohnson2733]

Great video beach bum .... never would’ve thought to use Italian Dressing on fish I must try it out. Planing a trip to the surf in two weeks speckled trout season will open up here in NC coast hopefully I can get a video uploaded. As always great job and god bless you all 👍🏼🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣!

[@shanewilson3890]

Hooked4life Fishing

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks bro! It’s pretty awesome on their. You need to try it for sure. It’s good on most any fish you catch

[@RiverLifeUS]

Nice recipe! Great Blue Herons hoping for a hand out.

[@canAbass122]

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY :)

[@YakinwithJack]

You did a fine job cleaning that pompano you must of watched my video😂😂 jk buddy. Great video liked how you incorporated your family 🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks bro! Lol I’ve cleaned a couple. But I did watch your vid!!

[@YakinwithJack]

TheLastFisherMan greatly appreciated buddy

[@Will7981]

Keep using Everglades Seasoning and buy a Silverstag bone and fillet knife for the Pompano to give DMFD some friendly competition. Haha

[@clintonhesson1918]

the real star was between mom and dad

[@luvsaint6666]

Pampano is the most delicious fish ever

[@CaptianConstruction]

New sub, really enjoying the content. Would like to see what you're looking for to locate the sand flea colonies.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Welcome aboard! Glad you found the channel! I talk about it a little in my upcoming video. It may help a bit

[@jamesfreeman7080]

Photo Bomber Fred.

[@kluv5560]

This reminds me of a deermeatfordinner video. 😂

[@jaxsaltfish015]

be careful in the storm, stay safe

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks bro! Fortunately it missed us and didn’t get too strong. Thankful!

[@robwilson6100]

Huge fan. Heading down to gulf shores this Saturday for the first time. Never surf fished before but looking to catch some pompano and whiting to eat. Do you think the storm going through now will affect my chances

[@BamaBeachBum]

It has dirtied up the water, which is bad for pompano and whiting. But we still caught one this morning. It’s definitely worth going for!

[@robwilson6100]

Thanks allot. Maybe I'll run into down there. Buy ya a beer

[@martyadams3915]

Man i love the zatarans creole also the tonys as well. I like my fish and game to have a kick. Everyone else in the house says it makes them cough lol. Oh just thought i would point out that even when courtney is not singing the close caption a lot of times just says music when she speaks. Actually got the bummy right on this one though.

[@KC6CNN]

Asparagus with real butter and minced garlic. Oh man it's fantastic.

[@TheCentralflorida]

2 questions. 1. Are you particular to any tide 2. What knife is that

[@threesu]

Glad I'm not the only one that gets harassed by those dang birds. Lol. Great job on the catch cook.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol yeah they are relentless! Thanks bro! 🤙

[@johnmaughan6746]

Sprinkle some Southern flavor, and lemon pepper on your next fish. I've never tried Everglades, but Southern flavor is the bomb.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Never had it, I’ll have to see if I can find some and try it

[@DoubleShotOfXTC]

You ever get over to the Atlantic side? Cocoa beach Cape Canaveral? I’ve caught damn near everything except a pompano over here. Any tips for the rougher surf?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Depends on how rough. I use pyramid sinkers. If I can’t get a 4oz to hold I typically pack it in

[@Paradoxed25]

Ive seen a few caught on/near jetty park, but if you can get access, fishing on Canaveral AFB is the place to be. On the nights they come in, Ill limit out every time.

[@noahcharif8581]

Also could you make a video about fishing in a rough surf

[@BamaBeachBum]

That’s a great idea! I may have to do that one!

[@jklphoto]

Nice job filleting those pomp. I like to grill them whole.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yeah I’ve had them whole a couple ways and it’s good that way. My wife doesn’t like skin or bones, so I just clean it all

[@Geoff790]

What was the back round music called when he was cleaning the pompano

[@BamaBeachBum]

I'm not sure...Its from a program that I am able to license songs from and I can't remember!

[@noahcharif8581]

I was just down on the beach at fort Morgan for the weekend and it was really rough with the storm coming in and I couldn't keep and baits out with the waves moving my lines back to the shore within a minute or so any suggestions

[@BamaBeachBum]

Sometimes it may just be too rough to fish. But most rough days you can get a 4 or 5 oz pyramid sinker to stick. If it’s too rough for that, I usually won’t fish.

[@noahcharif8581]

Thanks that would help a lot it was my first tome surf fishing and I caught 2 whiting and a ladyfish early Saturday but as the storms started coming threw couldn't get it to really work at all. But other than that love the channel and what you do your videos really helped me cause I had no idea what to do

[@BamaBeachBum]

Noah Charif thanks dude! Glad you are enjoying the content!

[@chrisstewart8832]

Do you try to catch the tide? Or do you just go fishing whenever?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Both. Depends on what I can do that day.

[@Oscarallknowing]

Italian Dressing ! I use that on BBQ Chicken .... Its amazing Dont pass it up !!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yeah we do a honey/Italian dressing seasoning on chicken and it’s awesome!

[@theoutdooradvantage3008]

What's biting right now around wolf bay or the gulf state pier

[@BamaBeachBum]

Spanish Mackerel, trout, redfish

[@mrremily9323]

eed some help.getting on pompano.. currently at pensacola pier and can't catch a thing.. where should I go

[@BamaBeachBum]

I don’t know anything about that area, I fish on the Alabama side. Sorry I’m no help there

[@rickdewitt600]

This is fun. Really enjoyed it. Thanks. Rick Bummmmmy Oldtymeflyr

[@kitchensalive]

Time for a haircut 😉

[@BamaBeachBum]

😂 yes, yes it is

[@LongviewGarage]

What size rods do you use?

[@BamaBeachBum]

9’ and 10’

[@lucabrazzi45]

Which fish do u like eating better Pompano or Flounder?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Tough call. But I’d pick pompano

[@lucabrazzi45]

Bama Beach Bum thanks only caught 1 pompano in my life on vaca in North Carolina. I live in philly but mainly fish the jersey shore or in NC (have house on the beach in Surf City NC) Great channel

[@bigdaddylew215]

Why you didn’t show your plate of food?

[@xironmonkyx]

digging the Bieber hair.

[@mrremily9323]

hey do you know how far west the pops run.. I've never caught one and thinking of attempting to this coming weekend when I get home.. from the MS gulf coast. where would I go to catch and eat my first pop

[@BamaBeachBum]

I’ve seen videos of people catching them in Texas. Any beach will work along the Alabama or Florida gulf coast on the north side.

[@mrremily9323]

Bama Beach Bum dang I was gonna try biloxi Gulfport this weekend

[@lukesealey6517]

U got the haircut everyone left in middle school bud

[@WAY-wr6ur]

I don't like a fish that has a fishy taste. I usually eat bass and Catfish cause it taste like chicken lol. Would I like Pompano?

[@jonkeil564]

WAY 1983 bass is trash and I would not feed it to my dog. Catfish is fishy. But Pompano is the cat's ass

[@dfdbbrb]

Pompano is better than both of those

[@mattsloan32]

If you eat bass and catfish you have no issues with a "fishy" taste. Pompano is one of the cleanest tasting meats of all fish. Followed closely by Mahi and Grouper. Snapper in IMHO is not as amazing to eat as the market seems to indicate. Forgot to mention triggers.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Pompano is fantastic! You would love it, I promise!

[@WAY-wr6ur]

Large mouth bass has no fishy taste when fried in nuggets as well as catfish.

[@gmoney5660]

Bake your sweet potato in the oven and season after,

[@BamaBeachBum]

Will have to try that. However those potatoes were pretty banging!

[@chrisrichmond9416]

Use parchment paper and your taters won’t stick👍

[@cbc9002]

Try deep frying the whole fish.

[@davidd8435]

I heard ladyfish make good cut bait fo red fish.

[@BamaBeachBum]

I’ve never caught one on cut lady. But I’ve caught plenty of sharks and bluefish with it!

[@TheCentralflorida]

In the flats especially southern gulf. Fling that out under mangroves. Kill some bulls. Even snook.

[@kolohejoe]

Great Job. Please use real parmigiana cheese. Use less and tastes soooo much better than...

[@nathanielwelch2901]

I hate the taste of pompano.and the meat is so grey
