Testing a NEW Spoon on the BEACH and Jetty! **INSANE Bite**

[@Theolesouth]

Cool video. It was also so cool to speak with you on the beach the other day . My kids talked about it all the way home .

[@goblitzem]

dont fall for it man there working together

[@kingrider75]

@Darius Zayden thanks man!!! Yea know when I clicked on a fishing video this is actually what I had in mind!!!! Here’s another idea why don’t you get a job?👍

[@thadeckhoff5153]

I’m glad to see you back on the Bama Beach, Bum. That’s what brought me to the channel!

[@fishinggunsflyrods]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

[@thomspoody9887]

Certainly one of the coolest fishing expedition videos I’ve seen. Keep em coming! 👍

[@counterweightshenanigans2808]

Can you get a polarized lens filter or cover for your go pro? It would be cool to see into the water a bit.

[@VS30MEDINA]

About time you use halco lures...man from panama to cabo to texas #1 lure to use

[@billybastar4022]

Bro..that’s my favorite reel. I caught a 40 lbs shark on a 5500...10 minute fight from the shore. Drag is awesome, pick up/retrieve double awesome. I think that reel is one of the most underrated surf reels.

[@xgtmg]

Love it when the blues are running. I caught 24 in a hour and a half.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I've seen them in schools the size of football fields. Every cast got hammered.

[@fishinfool3795]

When you slipped, all I could think of was me doing that, breaking a hip, and wondering how I would ever get out of there. LOL

[@dalepasswaters4898]

Nice work I like how you figured out how a smaller profile lure did the trick. I learned from this video .

[@Just_Fishing_TailsTM]

I see someone stepped up to a Penn Slammer III reel. Nice !!! Hope you save a few for the rest of us. Going to be out there soon. Keep up the great videos!!

[@kontessaknauer4846]

This video has got me bumped up for jetty fishing! Let’s go spring, and warmer waters.

[@sawyeralexander06]

Love it when beach bum posts

[@eagleeye761]

thx for the vid.... no ice on the lakes here... about ready to get the boat out... keep em coming... love your vids

[@sidesy7624]

keep it up my guy love these vids

[@jackchn23]

Nice session! I really enjoy these kinds of videos with the lures at the beach. Thanks!

[@michaelhornung7266]

Awesome catch. Great stuff. Glad u had such fun. Keep up the good work

[@dondj76]

Awesome fishing! Courtney will be happy!

[@mariajackson2677]

Hello. Not sure if you mentioned it, but what set-up are you using in this video.

[@christopherstacey2152]

The laugh at 2:45 made me laugh. These fish making the bum a little delirious 😂

[@wishinone]

Both the bluefish and mackerel would get the smoker treatment around here, glad to see you had a good morning

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Here in Oz those Halcos are called a slug. During winter when the Tailor (bluefish) are running, they're dynamite in the surf. They're also good to throw at bait balls for trevally, mackeral and tuna. Sometimes it pays to use a wire leader. When Tailor are small we call them "choppers" and when they're bigger we call them "greenbacks". Great fun and good eating.

[@GGAnglers]

Can you show how you set up your lure set up for like spoon and poppers ect.. nice video man🔥

[@user-pc5se6yf5g]

Caught 6 in about an hour at Grayton Beach yesterday. They smashed beheaded cigar minnows.. Destroyed a few rigs but whatever... the fights made it worth it. Especially when I threw out a lighter action rod... It was game on!

[@GilAcee]

Ouch! I fall on the rocks too much. Excited to see the bite back on the lures! So much fun! Thanks Matt

[@christianrobeson1899]

Glad to see the spring bite is slowly approaching. Also think it is interesting how the opinion varies greatly with eating bluefish. Some people call them trash, others it's their favorite lol

[@bobbytodd5846]

Loved the video, so much fun when they are close in.

[@joethebourbonman]

Nice man! Chucking lures on the beach is my favorite way to fish. I’m with you on bluefish-to me they’re awesome because they’re fun to catch, good to eat fresh, and sustainable.

[@TheWrcate]

Great to see you back on the beach!

[@lexrichardson7820]

I’m heading down next month to Pensacola to get some beach fishing-! I’m watching all your videos for tips and they have helped me a lot. Now the crappie are on fire in Tennessee! Thanks

[@douglasbunn166]

What length pole do you recommend for surf casting w/spinning reel

[@mattgarland1776]

Good morning yall!!! Good luck out there and keep them lines tight!!!

[@chuck750ss8]

Matt, where is the best place to cut a blue to bleed them? Enjoyed the video!

[@kerrydeshotels9691]

Some people may shy away from the blood letting, but you cut an interesting part if that video that would have been helpful to newbies fishing Blues and Spanish.

[@ranchermud]

KZbin will demonetize...underside of the mouth/body, between the gills, cut across.

[@robarcher3892]

Watched a video where the guy just reached in with a finger, hooked the hills and pulled.

[@chapcat54]

Nice video, and great to see you slaying them around the beach again. Glad you are okay after taking that tumble. I recently fell while jetty fishing off the rocks and into the water here on the Texas coast. Nothing broken, other than my pride, and a bloody shin. My reel got dunked, but was salvaged after maintenance fortunately.

[@joshsheaffer7452]

Aransas pass jetties

[@southernsalt]

Looked like a blast. I plan on getting out there some this summer.

[@Deepsouth34]

Hey Matt, fantastic video today. Gives me hope that winter is over. Doubtful you’ll see this, but can you possibly talk about how to properly bleed a blue?? Thanks!

[@hammer44head]

I live in central coast in Calif and i love fishing in the fog off the bank or sand, wish we had a jetty like you guys got there.

[@66bigbuds]

I use a small steel leader for blues and Spanish. Got tired of them biting off my spoons. Those are nice eating size. The bigger ones are fun to catch but I don't like eating them.

[@michaelcarey5981]

Great day of catching, and I would guess gonna lead to some good eating. Blues and spanish some of the better eating saltwater species

[@Papasmurf89]

Hey Bama , awesome video man ! Always enjoy your video’s and info about what you’re using and how to use it. On that note I wanted your professional opinion on telescopic rod and reel combos. Have you ever used one and would you recommend it

[@Jetmech1085]

Awesome video man!

[@stratos175escape7]

Just getting back from your area and one thing I learned is the Rocky Bayou in Niceville should be referred to as the Dead Sea, did not talk to a single person who caught a fish in 3 days. Even spoke to a charter captain and he said other then one time his daughters caught a fair amount of mangos off the ramp dock NADA. Beautiful weather though and got to break in my Native Watercraft Slayer kayak so wasn't all bad.

[@sclikelly599]

Bama, Really enjoyed this Video. Coming from Long Island NY, I've always loved catching and eating Bluefish. You are correct in stating the Blues are larger on the east coast. My personal best is 21 lbs! Caught in mid Nov on a Wreck off LI. During the 80's we would on occasion fish off Montauk LI (OCT & NOV) in an area called the Cartwright Grounds using whole herring double hooked onto 6 - 8 OZ Diamond Jigs. We'd drop em down 80-90 ft and catch 10= 20 lb Bluefish till we were arm weary. It was pretty much a guarantee back then. You would have LOVED it! But the best eating Bluefish are those under 4 lbs IMO. You dont even have to bleed them.

[@CaptCollier]

I think you have made a catch clean cook vid for bluefish before but you should do it again, curious to see how to cook em, Im not much a fan of them.

[@jeremiahe7947]

Hey BBB I finally got my coquina clam fish bites and they are awesome love the vids keep it up

[@BamaDanKnives]

Great video!! See y’all in April!!

[@365sacrifice9]

What size Slammer iii are you using and are you pleased with it. Debating on buying a slammer iii or spinfisher VI for heavy setup

[@Lockjawfishingfl]

Love the videos! Keep 'em coming! Waiting to get to the beach myself

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some nice fish

[@chaliep2920]

Nice video . . . . love catching blues !!!!

[@markroper9269]

Cool, fun video! You made some fans' day!! :) Way to go bud!!

[@bobjoncas2814]

...good one, there is always a new lure to try out, a lot of them catch more fisherman than fish...lol..stay safe..

[@aceman.nzwoodsmanfisherman5706]

Whats ur LB on the lines that you use. I do 40lb but sometime usually snap whats a good line u recommend. Do u reckon the spoons are worth using more than bait and hooks.

[@tylerczekaj860]

Funny, fishing NJ you're stoked to get a spanish in July/August but have trouble getting past the blues.

[@chrispolk93]

Nice video good to see u back on beach side. You should try a flutter style spoon. Those flat side spoons don’t have much flash or action. I’m going to be down on the 21st can’t wait to try my west coast gear on the gulf. Would be happy to hand off some tackle that no one else throws in your area. Look at Dixie jet or little Cleo or crocodile spoons. Love the vids been a huge help as I gear up for Alabama

[@uncleheide]

Wow! That’s what I call a successful day fishing!

[@justinrodgers1485]

I've always wondered if you should throw a spoon like that (I.E. Kastmaster) with or without a swivel. I see some people think you should throw them without swivels because you get a side-to-side dance from the lure, without a turn. You use a swivel, is that from experience? Or just a preference?

[@monkeyman4131]

Glad yer OK . Those wet rocks can be slick . Nice going , yer Penn Slammer 111 ( 4500 / 5500 ? ) makes short work of those fish . Tom Daytona Beach, FL. 16, March 2021 .

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Your desire to catch a big blue could happen! We should be seeing some 15 - 20 lbs blues coming past the pier I fish (Surf City Pier on Topsail Island) in just a couple weeks! If you would like to try a lure that's taking Bass Pro Shops, and a lot of other tackle shops, by storm,, you really need to check out Big Nics Fishing on Facebook! The Spanish Candy is a great lure that catches much more than spanish!

[@EOPS9]

Beach bum to 100k let’s goooo

[@majek60flats99]

Hey Man! Great Spring Fishing! We are building a house down there and hoping to be in late next fall. My PB Blue Fish is 18.5 lbs off of Montauk, LI, NY fought like hell!! Keep the great video's coming!

[@allthatfluffnstuffQLDaustralia]

Happy fishing and good morning from Australia 🇦🇺 Kellie xox

[@patriciaguenzler9150]

Enjoy your lunch and thanks for the video

[@mike8610]

Is that a mono leader FG knotted into your braided?

[@1888CHAD8881]

Did you use a swivel on that twisty, or a loop knot?

[@christianensley4892]

Hey slayer what's the best rig and bait for black drum in the surf right now and Spanish. I'm headed to the beach looking to catch and cook for the fam

[@anthonyharper8161]

Great video ! I use Kast Masters 1 oz with wire leaders for Blue fish , 20 lb big game mono ..Good eating blue fish , mackerel taste good too..Why everyone keep popping up everywhere while fishing..😳😳😳😳

[@Noo369]

What size pole are you using with these poppers and spoons?

[@fargo2win]

Here in NC we have Chopper Blues around end of April into May!

[@briancooper2737]

I am surprised you didn't go back to the roosta popper. Since the blues where hitting ontop and so close to the jetty. Nice video, love watching your stuff.

[@victorj.garcia9861]

Hi Awesome catches! What equipment are you using on this video? Reel is 4000 or 5000 size? As well as the rod, 9' ? Thanks

[@johnbaenen5386]

What a great day to be fishing.

[@nicholaswaddell7740]

Pomps are comin in too! 21 incher from the beach yesterday!

[@mattbradley5672]

Nice to see this Spanish and blues are in! Good to see you didn't hurt yourself, those jetties are no joke! Did you happen to see that Great White on the way to Pensacola?

[@MRdugger420]

Momma wants BlueFeesh Momma gets BlueFeesh, Momma happy, Matt happy!

[@davidsabine6942]

I just subscribed because of your pod cast with Brant.

[@rogerbeaird5742]

What is the limit on the spanish 4 ? And blues are counted as the same or separate

[@person390]

Great action !!!like glue some 40 grit sandpaper to bottom of heels .

[@mikesutterfield5901]

How do you like that Slammer 3? What size is that?

[@johnnysjasonable]

What size of fishing rod did yo use....?

[@aaronrossiter8865]

Solid day on the rocks. I missed your last couple videos as they were taken down.

[@davidfloyd9413]

Great video. Where do you get your spoons and poppers

[@arronwhittenburg5477]

Blues are mamas favorite, right

[@mike6976]

I like those clips where did you get them!

[@wowbud2432]

What do you do with the blue fish?

[@hunterwillis3765]

What do you think about the steel shad?

[@papastrawder]

Nice video man

[@davidlittle4948]

Other than slip & falls 😎 looks like a great morning. I just upgraded my smoker so I “need” some mackerel.😃 Would certainly not be sad with some blues.

[@zacantico6845]

Thinking about trying for Blue this summer live on the east coast

[@Pescabral]

Cool video, man!! It’s what I want to do in my videos... congrats

[@RustyReels]

I need to get that lure! Good work!

[@20moonpie]

Dang right don't let dinner get away I'm slippin to nice catch 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@tieoneon1614]

I spent a few years fishing SoCal beaches, and everyone was using expensive gear and jerkbaits called LuckyCrafts which were great, but $24....After losing 2 one morning from breaking off on big bat rays, I said Phuck It and opened up my old midwest tackle box. Had a Luhr Jenson Kroc spoon in roughly the same color as the smelt, and with in 1 hour I had 2 big halibut and another missed. I went catching one of the biggest Shortfin Corvina, my biggest Halibut, Corbina, perch, and croaker with them cheap things for the next few years. And ironically i posted a pic on a fishing site with it, and suddenly everyone was using them. But the funny part is they didnt know how to fish the spoon properly. There is a good technique to swim and jig them.

[@barryd.thomassr.9156]

Go out to the highway overpass, Drop that spoon in front of a Passing Semi. Thats what its like hooking over 20# Bluefish when they a Frenzy feeding!

[@brandont3675]

What size paraflex surf is that 8ft or 9ft?

[@shanefrancis368]

Hey are you the Bum? Why yes I am. Gotta love it Matt. Stay Bummy

[@jaredscott547]

What size pole do you have? Thanks

[@magnusmagnuson2862]

New subscriber, love your vids, man! I really like how you rigged this for “quick change” on the lures. You briefly describe it at the 10:00 mark. Any chance you could describe explain more? Is this how you rig for lures on the beach, too? Keep up the good work👍

[@tjbbmr]

What’s your setup? Penn Slammer ?
