Fishing a BEACH PIER for New Species with CUT BAIT! **Outer Banks**

[@mump71]

Calm water is the same everywhere, rough water has levels and Hatteras is boss level when it's rough, even from the beach.

[@floydbarbour8406]

I have not seen this video I really like it. I am from North Carolina going to the Outer Banks right now. Love the place.

[@wbwills2]

Where did you go & Howd you do?

[@jphillippi91]

I’ve used bass and steel head rods on piers for croaker, whiting and spot and such in NC it’s definitely doable

[@ronaldarchie7276]

Gotta love the OBX whiting are called sea mullet.

[@wesleycurrin1457]

I am a NC native and like the less commercialized beaches as well. I was on business a few days down at Orange Beach, AL last year.

[@chriswoodward9272]

I love the NC coast. From north to south there is not a bad place to be. Glad you got the chance to visit!

[@jibs4171]

meanwhile back on the gulf coast, the water is calm and ultra crystal clear :) Have fun Bama, used to do that many many years ago, when the Blues (and Reds) were really big.

[@NCSUME1]

Nice video. Ramp 38 in Avon is good, 55 in Hatteras, and obviously 44 in Buxton....You got to see a lot of good spots. World Record drum mount at F&Fs in Avon.

[@TheMuddturtle]

I was born and raised on the obx still here. Next time your down give me a shout and I'll take you on my boat and catch some bull drum

[@neilchristopherdaniels]

Hola from South Africa. Cool content. Would like to see more keep, catch & cooks with different species. Keep smoking them reels!

[@Fishing4Reel]

Your wife always brings a precious smile to your videos. You are a Blessed man.👍 You have worked hard to get where you are. Let's go 100K!

[@BeardedBrad92]

Always nice to check a new species off the list! Nice vid dude

[@lattiegoodman600]

I Love that you are in my state here in North Carolina. Outer Banks is an awesome place. Hope you have a great time down there

[@paulgates2934]

Love Avon stayed twice the first street north of pier! I would get up before everyone and head to the pier and fish for hours!

[@genetaylor3073]

You were fortunate to be on the OBX on so many calm days. I been there dozens of times, and never had more than a calm day or 2.

[@bluesdad54]

Good to see you guys on the Banks. Welcome to North Carolina!

[@michaelgrimsley111]

hoped to see ya hooked up on some of our big blues. looks like yall had a good time. appreciate the show.

[@Bobbyc719]

Nice video as always! Cool seeing your wife catch her first sheep head. Plus you got a new species!

[@debraanneclark2188]

Well done on the new species and Courtney well done on your first sheep's head

[@pfinchster65]

Does anyone agree how our bummie here brings the cartoon character 'Shaggy' to real life? Love the videos.

[@joshmassey7566]

Get it Courtney, look at her wearing out the sheepshead!! Great video Matt.

[@robertwallace9714]

The white trout we catch in Mobile are weakfish also, as the speckled trout are spotted weakfish

[@rayhall3010]

Love these videos , I live in Alabama , I lived in north Carolina , from 1966 till 1979 , I fished all the places you fished , it brought back so many great memories

[@salteastsimon]

Just got lucky 🤣. If you plan the wind right its flat. But normally the obx is pretty wild when it comes to waves and current. Honestly i like a lil chop to the water. Helps stir up those fleas.

[@mikelee4687]

I'm from n.c so I'm liking the butter banks series. Thanks

[@no_step_on_snek9796]

Carova was really calm when we went out there, thats where I proposed to my wife. We spent a LOT of time out on Pea Island that week, I think we saw 2 people out there over 4 days!. The surf was extremely rough every day, just due to the slope of the bank. Throw out some large mullet on a 6-8oz bottom rig and you can catch some massive reds.

[@ronturner6411]

Glad you got to go to OBX. It is beautiful there.

[@torysmith8004]

If you're still in the area, there is a area off of highway 12 called bonner bridge pier, near on pea island you should try out

[@richardtharp1608]

So Happy to see you Bringing Content again Matt.. Your Channel is Awesome and I had Great Fun at the Beach Catching Many small fish, and Several New Species using your Methods .. Thanks, Richard

[@gingerbeardman73]

Love the vid. The fellas and I go down every October in search of big reds. Ive been going to Avon since 1993, love it there!

[@kandcsaltassassins5864]

She is right Bum......OBX is great. U pick a good time for calm surf. Love the OBX video

[@robertbeach8856]

I lived in Nags Head for many years. Used to work at the old Jeanettes pier while in College. Love to see you fishing in some areas I have been many times. You we fortunate to ha calm conditions. It happens but it is usually rougher than that. Wish you could have gotten a big Bluefish run. Something every fisherman should experience. My PB Blue was 17 lbs. Really enjoy all the groups videos.

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some nice fish you will have to come back and do some more fishing l love fishing down there

[@maddfishy1975]

Awesome stuff Matt! It’s always great to tick off a new species. Courtney had a great day too with those sheep! I’m loving the OBX content. Keep up the great work. Peace and love from the UK

[@m.e.rosson2758]

Great Video Matt, just fished with bearded brad Yesterday...so so day but lots of fun. He really respects you, had nothing but good things to say.

[@matthewbrowning6144]

Love the videos! Vacation on the gulf coast and OBX. Haven’t had much luck in obx surf, love the new content

[@lostaggie66-canderson17]

Awesome videos from the OBX Congratulations to Courtney with her Sheepies

[@dustinpelkey7447]

Next time you come to Eastern NC I would love to have you come visit Southern Outer Banks (SOBX). Crystal Coast

[@burkeevans8675]

Glad you caught a gray trout as I call it...my son caught a 14" keeper on N. Topsail pier a few weeks ago. I'm heading to the OBX next weekend if the weather allows...looks like it may be very windy. If you have time and a pair of waders if it's too cold, park at the old coast guard station (35.76691434464333, -75.52502698805041) and walk the flats in the sound (35.76409850583548, -75.52305400221657). Fall fishing on the NC coast is awesome.

[@paocyang]

Love the OBX. Usually try to vacation every year at the OBX. Congrats on catching a weakfish.

[@shawnmizelle124]

We lived on the OBX for about 4 years... awesome beach fishing!!

[@afidanza]

Bum me and the family have loved the OBX series so far. Great to see you out there trying new fisheries!

[@pauldunn-q6v]

Love all of it!! If you could keep closer to Gulf would be cool for us poor gulf guys. But great footage of OXB! Good Stuff.

[@riverratfishing]

Great video. Hope you hit your 100k soon. This channel should be well over that

[@emon550]

yall should go back there for stripers or hybrids. they get pretty big! thats one fish i miss hooking up there. great vid!!!

[@robertburkey2455]

Enjoyed the Outer Banks videos!

[@Chuck_Carolina]

Wow! Back the truck up. Hatteras is bad Mojo - you just happened on to a flat surf trip. Been stationed on an amphibious ship out of Norfolk and I can tell you that the water there is rough stuff like no other on earth. I have sailed the Pacific, Atlantic and Artic Oceans - wonders I have seen! Cape Hatteras is not kind to the weak at heart - it can cut a rug.

[@jasoncole4089]

Need to take a spring or early summer trip out of Oregon inlet for yft, bigeye and mahi

[@michaelriggs9139]

Not flat after you left bro. Pretty rough for the next 2-3 weeks. Just now getting back to normal. I echo what others have said about "Bull Drum" and "OBX" terminology. I dig your show dude. We were there right after you . Rough, tough fishing conditions. Picked up a few black drum and whitings.

[@fishinwithferg6048]

Way to go Courtney! Very cool seeing both of you fishing. Congrats on the new species!

[@metalfly88]

You guys ever want to make your way to Mississippi, let me know!

[@stevedaniell7643]

Cool and congrats to Courtney for out fishin you BumMeister! Less than 300 to go bro……Heck you had many people within 30 yards of you on the beach. Let’s do this!

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

[@markroper9269]

Awesome video! We love the Outer Banks!!

[@dizzious]

Been to the obx three times and it's been super rough every time. The one week I spent in Pensacola and Florabama it was super calm. You got lucky with your trip timing :p

[@CTJEEPGUY1973]

You made me even more excited for my move to the OBX. Can’t wait to catch some monster Reds

[@stevegerdes2614]

Great video. Thank you, Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.

[@dudebro87]

Love the series. Definitely should make your way to NC or SC again. Glad to see people appreciate our coast.

[@nevadacrawler7757]

yep i vacay there every summer its great

[@terrywintermoyer1291]

Y'all are seriously my favorite KZbin channel. Keep it up.😉

[@sethsanderson9699]

Another OBX banger 🔥 great video man, hopefully you hit 100k soon!

[@ryangravley220]

Enjoyed these OBX vids. How about a little info on the area you stayed in. Like to visit there for something different than usual trips.

[@dennis4077]

I enjoy your content....so much!! I hit the subscribe button numerous times!! 👍👍👍

[@dennisclem5327]

I live in Statesville nc been to coast 2 times each time the waves were at least 4 ft you got very lucky

[@StephenGilmartinJr]

OBX is my stomping grounds. I just moved to AL and wont see the NC coast much in the near future unfortunately. I was there 10/8-10/24. Would have been cool to meet you guys. Drum fishing the first week was much better north of where you stayed. The couple days of NE conditions the 10th-12th were epic on Avon pier from what I heard. After that the seas flattened out and blew west which is the worst wind for the beaches you were on. In the fall you want NE winds in the spring you want SW or SE depending how far down the coast you go. Glad you guys had fun visiting our NC coast. Its a beautiful area but unfortunately has turned into a tough place for fisherman over the last decade. Not what it used to be.

[@coreysalmon9603]

Enjoyed the video. I fish Jennettes Pier in Nags Head quite a bit which is about 45 minutes or so north of where you guys were. Next time you make it up this way let me know!

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Great stuff…new area!

[@darrenlindsay5704]

Nice fishing in OBX. Looking forward to future videos!

[@egomaniac247]

cut bait on the bottom hook at the OBX just screams SKATE :)

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Cool video, it's fun watching your wife outfish you 😂. I hope she joins you in Florida too. She might catch more snook than Brant 😆.

[@rafaelsfishingadventures4941]

Great video! Love all your videos!

[@martyadams3915]

I have never seen water that calm at Avon. I was fishing for kings there once and about 300 yards off the end of the pier a giant spotted eagle ray was jumping over and over. Seriously that thing was as big as a sedan. Haven't been to OBX in a while, it's a special place with its own character. Perhaps it's almost time for a trip out there again.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha, and congrats. I think anytime you fish a new area, you expand your knowledge.

[@robertolsen134]

Enjoying the OBX videos

[@jpvcwby]

I was stationed at Ft. Bragg NC and loved fishing the coast there, BUT I never got up to the Outter Banks for fishing. Love the series. I'm thinking you might be looking for property up there the way she likes it....LOL

[@johnpritchette8082]

I grew up in NC and my dad and I would hit the OBX every fall to surf fish.

[@caseygoodson4316]

Cool to see you fish the same pier i fished! Been vacationing in avon the past couple years love it great fishin reds,trout,spanish,blues you name it !

[@harryharrison6496]

Great content from a perfect location!!

[@ronmartin5971]

Good little video as usual

[@matthewfishes6683]

Love this video. These are some of my favorite ones yet.

[@tomreynolds7187]

Awesome man! Keep the videos coming. I started watching your videos in April! I try to come to gulf shores once a year usually in early fall.

[@cynthiariddick8184]

Hi Matt. You're in our neck of the woods. I've fished that pier a few times. If you come on up the banks you will run into Jennette's pier and The Outter Banks Pier in Nags Head which is my fav. Good Luck guys!

[@jasonleblanc1452]

I’ve fished that pier so many times. Hatteras is really beautiful. Been going there every year since I was born. And trust me it usually is a lot rougher. Went deep sea outta hatteras inlet with 6 footers breaking on the boat.

[@johnmiller4282]

If you had been there 1st week of November you would have seen that rough surf we talk about

[@papastrawder]

Awesome video man

[@jphillippi91]

I caught weakfish on whole shrimp back in September in OIB maybe try that next time

[@fishinfromscratch5484]

I live on the other side of NC way up in the mountains but I've been wanting to get out to Avon and fish that pier! I guess I'm gonna have to get off my duff and do it.

[@voodoo2882]

YEAH...HHHAAA almost 100k...congrats like the travel to NC

[@catchem5111]

Great job getting that weak fish!!! Courtney whooped ya though haha. Cool video

[@kevinparish]

Tough fishing, but with your honey! ;-)))

[@TheOverlandGolfer]

Congrats on the new species! 👏🏽

[@813Tyler]

A good substitute for cut ladyfish is cut mullet

[@pauljackson3847]

I was down there couple weeks ago, 6-8 foot waves, it was horrible conditions

[@robbiebaker2412]

Croaker are good to eat. A lot of people here make a stew with them

[@BigTymer-zo2iz]

Cool trip

[@stevencarnes7790]

I wanted to catch a puppy drum when I was there last time fishing from the beach and I could seem to find the right spot.

[@kirkdavis2881]

Weakfish usually hold 4 to 6 feet off the bottom. At least for the bigger ones a long leader helps.

[@tacticalpestcontrol1970]

Welcome to the OBX. I live on Manteo Roanoke island

[@mattpoole1610]

Dude, you’re crushing it!

[@gigip.5709]

I know who the real fisherperson is in your family! 🤣 jk... I love to see you both enjoying yourselves!

[@F-N-C]

Have you ever fished the Pacific Northwest Coast? Its a little rough. lol and cold..
