Matts, just wanted to let you know i was up late due to an anxiety attack but watching your video put my mind at ease. thank you for being there once again, how i found your channel was 5 years ago when i broke my ankle and lost my job, watching you i forget my worries.

[@julesl6910]

Hey bro, if you have the opportunity just get out there to the ocean. Or plan for it and look forward to it. We're all here because we relate with Matts and he represents someone struggling and succeeding. You just have to get out there even if you fail

[@tamalpias]

@@julesl6910 thanks for your supportive and kind words. I have been out more doing clamming and such. I just want to let Matts know how he has helped me out. I hope to see you out there too Jules, tight lines. 😊

[@alexruwhiu7384]

@@tamalpias cool bro wots clamming like ? I've eaten some in Vanuatu and just needed some citrus to help with the saltiness

[@tamalpias]

@@alexruwhiu7384 you must have seen my avatar picture, in tomales bay there is a diverse group of clams from geoduck, two types of gaper clams, Washington clams, razor clams, blood clams, and steamer clams. I target the first 3 species primarily but all the others I have caught as a bycatch. Steamers are easy so I let the kids do them. Clams taste great and as long as you are not drinking the clam juice it’s not salty. Sashimi, deep fried, in congee, salads, etc.

Welcome too California with expensive. It’s good that your smart and creative by making your own tackle. Keep it up Fisherman’s Life!

[@jacobaccurso]

I was fishing for lingcod up here in Depoe Bay one day, and this guy taught me a trick to get your jig back when you get snagged. You release all tension on the line and you wait for one minute. Set a timer. Don’t apply any pressure until the minute is up. I’ve retrieved so many lures that way. It requires discipline. And patience. I’m telling you, it works. I’ve actually added a minute if it didn’t come free after one minute and gotten it back. Try it. It works. Like the Egyptians used to say thousands of years ago, “Or your mummy back.”

This is bullshit bro. I'm gonna try it but I can almost guarantee it won't do anything. If I'm wrong I'll say so

[@jacobaccurso]

@@julesl6910 Give it lots of slack. Zero tension. As I said, it doesn’t always work. But when it does come off and you get your rig back, you’ll be very happy. Give it a try, Jules. You’ll see.

[@quinnsouthall6633]

I’ve done that too! I think it’s because the current forces the hook out of the rocks

[@thenexadventure]

Yeah bro, 72 hour fasts become super easy especially when you cut out processed carbohydrates, refined sugars and hydrogenated plant and seed oils. I lost 55 pounds fishing and fasting and reversed my diabetes, fatty liver and high blood pressure. I also do a 48-72 hour fast at least once a month along with an OMAD style daily diet. The only thing I changed recently is eating more freely on the weekends but nothing too crazy. Thank you for inspiring me years ago. Your videos really helped me to learn how to fish, something I always wanted to learn since sharing fond memories of my Grandfather surf fishing when I was a kid.

[@ReefDonkey]

Dude, how do you handle 48 or 72 hours? Drink loads of water?

[@thenexadventure]

@@ReefDonkey I do a ketogenic diet so once you're fat adapted you don't feel hunger like you do when you eat processed carbs and refined sugars. You actually have to remind yourself to eat. As long as you keep up with minerals by putting seasalt under your tongue a few times a day and keep some water in you, you feel satiated.

[@pinetree9343]

I did a 21 day fast in 2004. After day 10, you know all the toxins are leaving your body. By day 21, I really wasn't hungry, but I started eating every other day for a week or so. I felt great for a year or so. It's a great idea to fast like that once in a while. Late winter is probably best because of our natural cycles.

Super curious about the fasting regimen. I've been wanting to try a fast for the health benefits but I'm already a pretty lean person an don't want to lose the muscles from a loss of calories.

[@Emre-sj4ls]

if youve got some fat i think youll be fine as you dont easily start burning muscle, unless youre really not used to burning fat perhaps, still, should be minimal.

[@mosshark]

I lost too much weight fasting twice a month for a year so I stopped. But I developed this sharpness or clear headedness that is like drinking a cup of coffee without feeling jumpy. If you're just drinking water, you're losing minerals that your brain needs to keep firing. Try drinking gatorade or pedialyte. Take care.

[@GahBoe]

Have you tried hookless artificial bait and jig heads? Seems ideal with all the snags you get.

[@PsyferInc]

Even though, many times, fish are off the bottom in that type of location, of the first spot. I would try mid depth as a first choice to avoid snags and just to really gauge the area. Fish are not always directly off the bottom. Especially, the big ones! In the summer months, you will get the real big fish off the top.

I'm about your age and I will say that I agree with just about everything you said in this video. I fish, and I also do the 72 hour fasting. It's pretty rough the first 1-2 day, but at day 3, my body got used to it and I feel alert, clearer vision, feels great. Fasting is good for us when done properly. Obviously you want to drink water like you are, and also take some electrolytes.

[@ravenfan1606]

Important question for you. I'm definitely going to try the 72 hour fast. My question is, what is the go to meal after the Fast? I know there are some foods you should stay away from but I'll like to know what your go to was. Thank you and keep up the amazing conten.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

hi go to meal is 5 lb of butter.😀

[@Emre-sj4ls]

with 3 days you should be fine with most foods, 5 days or longer starts to involve risks refeeding syndrome where youd want to avoid carbs and possible too much fats if youre not very well adapted to burning lots of fats. with that said its still better even with 3 days fast to keep it easy on the stomach with things like broth to slowly get things going. good luck on your fast ;)

If you're switching lures a lot you should look into Tactical Anglers Power Clips. These things kickass. They are the future for lure fishermen like you and me. Way better than swivel-less quick connects. Only downside is they have no swivel, so there is soke risk of line twist.
