Met you all on the Friday of Grand Opening. You were all as personable as I imagined & the store is phenomenal. Of course, I spent TOO MUCH. Will be back frequently.

[@kevinthistlethwaite9449]

Was there with my daughter Matt. Great to see you again and congratulations on your amazing new project, definitely a regular customer😃🎣

[@robertmatern4916]

The wife and I were there and it was great meeting you guys. You all have helped us with fishing in the bay and on the beach so much. Again congratulations on the store and the progress you guys have made.

[@user-zo8qt6ht4e]

Made it this weekend enjoyed everything I saw thanks for being so accessible to everybody.

[@duaneates2590]

Hey Matt, I came by opening night and had the pleasure of meeting you, Brant, and Brad. The store looked amazing! I'll definitely be back to add to my gear. I also want to thank all y'all for inspiring me to get back into shore fishing!

[@jaybeliever1479]

Yup! Got to the grand opening and re-established connection with you, Matt. The place looks great. Wonderful inventory of everything needed for fishing down here - or many other places as well. I trust that the business will attract a lot of folks coming down this summer. One suggestion - if it's possible, it would be good to have some way to attract people to your store. Signage, local ads, small cards in local restaurants, etc. Good to see you again. Jaybe (formerly) from Michigan.

[@michaelhornung7266]

Great stuff. Keep them coming. Congratulations on the opening.

[@chrisatch22]

Got to come in on Tuesday with the family and grab my first surf rod and new shades. You and Courtney were awesome. My daughter loved her (and her BBO tattoo she gave her). Love to see good people doing great things. Keep it up! Can’t wait to watch this thing grow. In the area a couple times a year and I’ll definitely stop in every time!

[@user-ey4wi2gy1r]

I was there Friday and Sunday, I got to meet you all and you set me up with a ninja dagger and a penn battle 3 on friday.I caught the smallest flounder I've ever seen, but had a great time. It is a genuine pleasure to meet people that are who they are and are willing to help strangers any way they can. I got that vibe from all of you. you all made this old man very happy with the way you talked and took time with not just me but everyone you talked to. thanks for the help and the time spent, it meant alot.

[@douggrant272]

The sunrises alone are worth the trips! 🎉 And the water clarity is amazing! Rarely on the central coastal bend of Texas is it that good

[@jsco773]

Thanks for another adventure. I kept hoping for a trout of course. Thanks for taking us fishing.

[@MrNooner319]

I'm happy for you guys and your new adventure. I am a lil disappointed that Fred wasn't invited to the grand opening. Haha. Keep up the good work. Be safe and ENJOY!!

[@binky8501]

Why not try some attractant on your baits in those conditions. If they can't see the bait they sure can " smell" it

[@mickeyphanhly1738]

Definitely got a great chance to meet you and Brad and Brant!! Store is amazing by the way!! Can’t wait to stop by again!!

[@iand6541]

Thanks for the video!

[@DavidPYoung-ou2nd]

It was great to meet you and the guys. Got a Bummy stick and other stuff. Will send pics soon.

[@scottcrouse2117]

Hey Matt, made the trip from MD with my son and enjoyed meeting u, Brant and Brad. Hung out all three days and spent way too much money lol. Congrats on the opening! Hope to make it down again sometime.

[@dolfanz1972]

Came to the Grand Opening on Friday opening day from Navarre. Thank you Bearded Brad for the advice and aid in purchasing my surf rod and reel. See you all on the water!

[@filegumbo]

Matt, my wife and I talked to you about moving down to GS and living in the condo we own. Thanks for taking the time out. Nice meeting you.

[@larrylewis1390]

You have no idea how much I wish I could have been there. I wish I could meet all of you in person. Thanks, Larry Lewis

Congratulations on the successful grand opening!

[@debmathiasen3961]

Hubby and I were there 5 days lol. It was great meeting all of you and getting to chat a bit. We are just now crossing back into Missouri. Best anniversary trip ever!

[@levidenhamii5380]

I enjoyed talking to you man and thank you for the tips man! Congratulations on the store and all of your hard work! And thank you for taking 3 hours of your time to talk to everyone!

[@fishincommish]

Matthew, I was there with my fishing buddy David on Saturday! Was blessed to talk to you and Brad!! Came down from Nashville on my annual birthday fishing trip. Keep up the good work. All you guys inspire me to keep pushing with my channel!!

[@Benny_Sims]

I was there on Friday and got to meet you. Gave you the "original" thumbs up. The store is awesome.

[@user-xy7gi2uo1b]

Came down for Friday and Saturday, great to meet you guys.

[@judishaw6105]

check out N.C beaches. One of my family's favorite is Holden Beach. You got to fish the Outer Banks. N.C and S.C around Myrtle Beach and Murrell"s Inlet to go out to the gulf stream fishing. Don't do what I did and went out in Feb. It was terrible. Most times I can sleep all the out even if it is not the best in the world. I have had people ask how my husband can do that and he would just say oh, she just use to doing that. See when I was a kid just 18 my friend's dad give me a job working for him on a boat. So that is why I can sleep so good on a bad because I sleep and worked on one for two years. My nickname was LittleBit. I was little but boy I had a bit. I had a guy on another boat that gave me a hard time and he pissed me off and I landed a bottle between his feet and my captain said all right Little Bit and it keep. Sorry to be long and tell you a story but I thought you would get a kick about the bottle. By the way the bottle was a long neck beer bottle and Pineapple because he was Hawaiian get the message and shut up for a while but we never could stand each other.😊

[@fishcraze9732]

Happy I got to get down for it. Followed y’all for years. Great to meet all 3. 👍. Oh yeah, can’t wait for the visors 😂

[@davidgbowntrailcamerasoutd4725]

Sweet fishing

[@JoshCrouse95]

I made it down there from Maryland with my dad for the grand opening and had a great time, it was awesome seeing the store and getting to chat with y’all there! Definitely hopped on board the fishing struggle bus while I was down there though, it was tough

[@darenbhalai9872]

Hey Matt, I'm recently here in the gulf shores and I wish I could have made it to the grand opening, furthermore it would be even better meeting u and Brant. I even wish i could go fishing with you sometime.

[@johntiii4616]

My wife and I made the Grand Opening on Friday, enjoyed meeting y'all and plan to come back.

[@debbiehadley3356]

It was such a pleasure to meet you all. You took the time to watch a video of me catching a pompano on the reel you sold me. You all were so busy, yet you made time to make us feel like a friend. You all will succeed with the team I saw! Everyone was so kind. See you in two weeks..

[@fishoff4283]

I thought about skipping the store on Saturday but I'm glad I had a chance to chat with you guys. I caught a couple blues from the pier using the BB rig from the pier box. I'll have to try top water and jigs in the surf. The guy from Seattle.

[@willjuf37]

I couldn’t make it the opening weekend, but I will be in the area in mid-June. Looking forward to checking out the Shop!

[@egpeil]

It was fun and i enjoyed meeting you. Got some surf casting in on Johnson’s beach in Perdido although it was mot productive with thewind and high surf - I’ll be back.

[@ralpez8]

Unfortunately I had to work. I had planned on coming down today (Thursday), but had vertigo and my wife didn’t want me to drive the 100+ miles. So, I ordered me a Bummy Stick on line and the Beach Bum Outdoor staff had it shipped in just a few hours. I will be getting it tomorrow! So pumped!!!

[@bentoncushing8693]

Thanks for the hard work,,,,Ur vids,,,Rock,,,,Thanks for the lesson,,,I'm always ready to learn fishing,,

[@user-rh4lq6wn6x]

I really enjoyed it and taking to you hope will see you again soon

[@troymenow6106]

Gotta say..it was a privilege to meet the three of you, Matt Brant and Brad. Even talked with Courtney and Melanie. COURTNEY COCKROACHES!!! These creators are exactly as advertised on the videos. Couldn't be anymore genuinely happy to give advise and Matt even told me one of his spots, which I will take to my grave...or sell for 20 bucks.. no definitely take to my grave. Did manage a couple fish despite rough conditions. Again thanks!!! ..

[@cameronhoover7561]

Great video as always man 👌

[@christopherraines3202]

Topwater has been rough for us all I think this year. I live in Richmond, VA and travel to Cape Hatteras, NC often, and the topwater has been null so far. Even bass fishing back home, topwater bite has been off. BTW, what kind of tackle bag is that you have to walk the beach? Do you have them in y'all's store? Cheers to you and your fam man!

[@seansmith1756]

I like using a shiny dark black lure in dirty water , to me its more visible than any other shade or color. Everything else seems to blend in. Give it a try 😉

[@seangrizzle7063]

Excited for you guys, hope the tackle store kills it I will pray for you guys

[@bidwellcm]

We drove all night from Texas to be at the grand opening. It was great meeting y’all and the place looks great!

[@brantleyparry2153]

It was great meeting you brother!! Me and my wife came by and picked up some lures and a 8'6" ninja dagger and love it! Broke it in on a giant Jack at the pass yesterday!!

[@patricehunt4046]

Hubby and I came in Sunday with the 2 grandkids. The store looks great! We fished with you a couple of years ago. Bought some Fish-gum and pomp rigs. Glad y’all are here!

Sorry I missed this event for sure ! I may be moving back that way soon so I'll tough it out ! Congratulations on your big day all the same !!

Glad to see ya had a chance to fish, after being so busy with the store. Can barely wait to come and see the store. Wish yall the old cliche “tight lines”.

Hey have you texted back that number and got a gift

[@drkrm]

I was there Sunday with my walker (just had a knee replaced) and got to eat you and Brant. Brad was running around and I couldn’t catch up to him with my bum knee. I regret that I didn’t get to meet Courtney or Melanie. Maybe next time. You all are deserving of such a great store. I must say, it looked bigger in the videos, and I’m not saying it’s not big, it is just the right size. I’m glad to see that your “celebrity” status hasn’t gone to your head. Y’all are just good, regular people and I’m sure customers will come in droves to shop with y’all. Congratulations, and good luck. See ya on da beach!

[@mrsexc71]

Got to come the first day! You were swamped at the time so didn’t get to congratulate you so CONGRATS! store looked great.

[@stevenherrmann3051]

Hi Matt, I was there on day 2. Came in from New Orleans to meet you and the gang. Had a great time. Waiting patiently for my new BummyStik to arrive. Hope to come down and fish Gulf Shores in the near future.

[@stevenherrmann3051]

Just received notification that my bunny stick will be here tomorrow. Can’t wait to get out on the water.

[@timothymaynard862]

Hope to one day make it down there. I’ve been to Panama but never over to the gulf shores. Looking at some houses to stay at maybe next spring. This WV hillbilly loves some surf fishing. Tight lines my brother. And Congratulations on the grand opening.

bluefish are some of the most fun fish to catch in the spring on long island, best fighting fish pound for pound in our area. Just be prepped to lose some rigs and besides that you’re good. Love catching those guys

Bringing the sportsman down in few weeks. Gona hit the near shore gas rigs first for bait and kings . Then going offshore to deep troll with some new 50ft nomads deep divers and see what else we can do. You and brad should come go with us. Hit me up

Matt, Bill from Benton, AR! I was at the Grand Opening on Friday. I met you, Brant and Brad. I even got to say hello to Courtney and Annalise! I know that a LOT of hard work took place to make your event as fabulous as it was. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting all of you. It was a good thing I made it on Friday. We were camping at Ft Pickens and got evacuated Saturday afternoon because high waves and tide was expected to flood the roads. We just started heading back home to Benton, AR because they told us it wouldn't open until Monday!!!! It was still a great trip for me and my wife. For me, the highlight was getting to meet you and the other guys. What a great team you have put together!!!!
