Topwater POPPER at The JETTY!! **BIG Blowups**

[@danielpease4534]

It always gets cold in Texas on Easter week. I understand. Glad to see you fishing again after all those storms.

[@CameramanRon]

Can’t it just warm up already! I’m over the dang cold!!

[@jeremiahe7947]

Ogreed

[@BamaBeachBum]

Dadgum it me too

[@trophyadventures6258]

Agreed!!

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Well y'all didn't have to send it up here!!

[@CameramanRon]

@@ncoutdooradventures6148 lol had to send it some where lol

[@nickbaer6584]

What I love is I feel like you did in your intro every time I get out there and feel that cold and wind. But just like you, we suck it up cause that bend in the pole will warm you up really quick!!

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Isn't it amazing how fast you don't notice the cold when you start catching fish!?

[@briancooper2737]

Yeah, and hold cold it is when you aint!

[@jamesrobinson2715]

I feel your pain BBB. The cold front came through here in Georgia yesterday. I haven't been fishing much because it's Turkey season. They were gobbling their heads off and the last two days they've been silent on the property that I hunt. Hopefully things will be better in the morning. Wish you luck.

[@monkeyman4131]

Thanks fer braving the COLD . Die hard fishermen ,no problem . Tho catching Bluefish makes for a good video . Thanks Matt . Tom Daytona Beach, FL. 3, April 2021 .

[@badass.bob1]

When do we get all the beach bum bloopers, cameraman ron wrecks and brant peacher piss offs? Love you guys. Keep fishin hard. God Bless

[@badass.bob1]

Love you guys in the land down under

[@foreverstudenttimmyd4419]

OMG Bama Beach Bum! You are Awesome! Pass the word on those inline hooks. I know the hook-up ratio is not as great but it's better for the fish if your going to release them anyway.

[@rscribner3091]

Brant has got his grasshopper fishing like a pro

[@flyslinger2]

I'm curious why you pull with the rod to pop the lure versus having the rod tip perpendicular so you can load up the rod on the hookset? If you are direct lining it (pointing your rod tip directly at the fish) there is no give.

[@davidmcdonald654]

Fishing season 2021 has opened here in Nova Scotia Canada on April 1 and it has been pissing rain for 2 days now and all the spots I fish are under a lot of water as the main river is a tidal river. The rain has cause the Shubenacadie River to overflow on to several roads and make it impossible to fish.

[@markroper9269]

We have all been there...it is rainy, or cold, why am I doing this?! Caught the biggest Rockfish(striper) in the mouth of the Corrotoman river on New Years Eve a few years ago. It was 20 Lbs. It was downpour raining until 10:00 AM. The skies opened up and it turned sunny and was almost 70. We were the only ones out there! Fish when others don't want to.....:) Good stuff bud!!

[@michaelhornung7266]

Great fun great fishing for those Blues. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@chaliep2920]

Love me some bluefish action !! Happy Easter to you and the family !!

[@tommartin5174]

Love catching those Blues.

[@christopherjenkins2373]

Believe me your weather could be a lot colder. We have had hard freeze warnings and snow flurries and I live in NC! This is absurd! Got to admire your tenacity though. Be careful on those rocks. I fell on a jetty badly in Jacksonville when I was 6 and haven’t been on them since.

[@drkrm]

I work outside and we had the same temps and wind in N. Ga. I’m rethinking my move to GS/OB. No I’m not. I’ll be there in a couple of months.

[@jeremiahe7947]

If you don’t mind me asking what kind of reel where you using love the vids and those where some stud blues

[@PaulieWalnutss]

Penn Slammer 3 4500

[@brucehayes7369]

Bad day fishing beats good day workin .good job

[@troyhood8971]

Just left there this morning. Stayed in the condo right by jetty and my son and I fished all week. Got a few sheepshead. Tore the mangroves up but nothing big enough. Got into the blues and Spanish one morning also. Was hoping to see you while we were there and wouldn’t you know the day we leave you show up. Haha. Stay Bummy!!!! From Indiana.

[@kurtanddebbieveltre1375]

You a good guy Bama. You Seem genuinely nice. Been watching the channel a few months. Fantastic. I live on amelia island and it was 43 degrees with a northeast wind about 30 in your face on the beach. Brutal .

[@nealpearson5855]

You always make it look fun, Bum. This is definitely the last cold snap.

[@justsomerandommfer]

Great video! Subscribed and Liked 👍 I've been trying to find a good set of saltwater plyers. What are the ones that you have in the video?

[@dmcleod204]

What leader are you using when targeting Mackerel, Blue fish or Specks ?

[@pittmanfh]

Love your channel. I live a couple hours northeast from you, so I know what you're talking about with the cold snap. Those fish don't know it's so cold outside that water. They just know the water is warming up. Keep on keeping on and you'll be at 100k. Then half a mil.

[@fishingjimcolon4339]

Nothing like catching some fish to get your heart pumping to warm you up

[@josecarvajal171]

How do you like the slammer?! I have my 3500 and she’s a beauty. I have her on a st croix mojo inshore and this setup is a dream!

[@JacksonRig]

I’m down in perdido key rn, any tips for fishing the pass, and also how far off the beach do you usually cast for pompano

[@Gulfcoastangling614]

Next time u go to pensacola u should to navarre pier with brant were going in july and they catch cobia, jacks, bonita sometimes mahi and sword fish

[@donjohnson9063]

Holy smokes man my biggest blue was 46 in n about 30 lb n it took me awhile to reel it in, my brother in law n I were both in awe when it was at our feet. That was also in maine

[@carlosduverge9939]

I just moved to Jacksonville from DC and I havent found a good fishing spot yet. Any advice, went to amelia island and havent find anything

[@junglejim8mm]

I was just down the street past the private pier, Friday was our last day, fishing from the beach was not good two white fish and one other bite all week but better than being at work.

[@davidgalloway904]

Great dedication Matt!

[@robychannel9993]

Kayaknya gampang banget popingnya bung...Lempar tarik langsu straik 👍👍

[@Exploremorefishing]

Cold in the morning? Nothing like some top water fishing to warm you up 👍🏻

[@b.radfishing8530]

Congrats, for just getting out of the truck! 🥶 Love the topwater action! Those were big blues for OBA... great Vid!

[@travispollard9314]

I think it's warmer in Texas than Florida right now. Hey Bum just to let you know I found fresh water fishbites here and I can't wait to try it on some cats!

[@ksmith9050]

I had to laugh at the way you started the video, but was pleased to see you push the boundaries for your viewers! Enjoyed the video. Also...I’ve caught some BIG bluefish off that jetty after dark - getting back to the parking lot is the problem.

[@stevencarter7999]

U ever fish Dauphin Island. I know your more on Baldwin County side most of the time.

[@captok36]

Do you using braid with a floro leader?

[@jamesferra3692]

What kinda knot are you using to the popper? Loop knot to a double uni?

[@BamaBeachBum]

I have a quick clip tied to my leader. I just use a uni knot to the clip.

[@BJester91]

I’ll be staying on the Mobile bay in May and I can not wait to get on some inshore fish!

[@texoutlaw1732]

It’s time to stay nice so us fair weather fisherman can enjoy!

[@urielmeraz89]

I’ll be fishing in Alabama soon!!!!! Any suggestions on rod, reel, line, knots, lures, ect??? Seen several of your videos but maybe you’ve updated gear??

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some nice blues

[@jpvcwby]

I'm here until Friday (April 9th) Staying across from little lagoon. Also wanna do some surf & jetties fishin. ANY HELP?

[@somedude2630]

Fried Bluefish is my favorite food behind Apalachicola oysters (RIP)...Had no idea they would blow top water poppers...

[@MichaelTomberlin]

Have you ever had pelicans dive on your popper. I had to stop fishing a popper along a jetty because I was going to end up catching a pelican. Not sure how I would have gotten that catch off the hook...

[@beardsandbraid3189]

Bluefish on 5he southern coast? I thought they were just up north by where I'm at..

[@jamesbendele9818]

I’ve caught bluefish deep on the south Texas coast.

[@tedhultberg4475]

I admire your dedication!!!

[@davidd8435]

Bama are the boats anchored around the jetties charters or private?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Both

[@nodayatthebeach]

My favorite is running into a lazy school of small blues. They fight awesome. But that's northeast stuff for me.

[@cjahlert]

Love the bluefish action. Quite the hike on the jetties especially in the early morning. You need to be part mountain goat..what rod do you have paired with the 4500?

[@drewheatherly9845]

I believe I will stay with trebles. Great video. Going to have to try a Halco.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Don’t blame ya. Nothing wrong with the trebles. I just get nervous about hooking myself with blues. The halcos come with really quality treble hooks.

[@paulcallicoat7597]

Put a dropper fly on that plug.Short strikes become fish in hand many times.Cost is them cheap and on the jetty you should keep it about 12 inches or less.Trolling would be about 18 inches.

[@s0lsh1n]

What kind of hook did you put on the halco

[@BamaBeachBum]

3/0 owner replacement

[@billbernhardt617]

You look absolutely ecstatic and sound very enthusiastic in your introduction! However, with temperatures that low and the wind howling, I can't say that I blame you!

[@duffymcalister9479]

All those blues and didn't even bring the wife you love so much you got y'all's pic on the sun visor! Great vid

[@RustyReels]

I need to try some of those halco poppers and spoons

[@martaya2244]

Been a subscriber for a while now, enjoy your videos. If you like FLA Blues, you need to plan a Summer trip to Cape Cod MA , and get into some truly big Blues. Chompers!

Was supposed to go fishing this morning off the coast of South Carolina but had to move it back a week due to Covid. When I got up and it was 35° I was very thankful I was not on the water.

24 in KY this morning. So 38 sounds pretty good. Now I know why Cameraman Ron moved down there.

I picked them up at a tackle store in town. Sam’s Bait and Tackle

[@davidfloyd9413]

@@BamaBeachBum thank you sir

[@chrissewell1608]

Dang brother. Does that jetty extend out to Mexico, or what? It looks like its a mile off the beach. I had to get some Halco poppers, last year, thanks to you. They work!

[@donaldamelung1786]

Where are you fishing exactly?

[@Bakesga]

Not a fan of the blue fish. Caught two at once off gulf shores pier. One on the front treb and one on the back treb. Blues eat everything, almost like pests when trying to target other fish.

[@jordancreel22]

Shoot sometimes it’s just good to get bites man, on a slow day especially!

[@jessiechapman2345]

Dang it!... Was going to hit the jetties this morning and we chose the beach... Not a single bite...

[@kmart9154]

Can't feel your hands very good? Come up to Michigan and we will do some winter steelhead fishing. In my mind salmon and steelhead are the only freshwater fish that come close to fighting like something salty.

[@lostaggie66-canderson17]

Awesome video too bad I can't do "Jetties" anymore....Too prone to falling

[@wishinone]

Those bluefish were perfect size for smoking, good video.

[@CaptCollier]

Never had smoked bluefish before, are they pretty good?

[@wishinone]

@@CaptCollier Yes they are, over the years i smoked hundreds of pounds of them and took a lot to work, the guys couldn't get enough.

Please UPDATE the gear you use in the show more of the vids Michael Please

[@UNFILTEREDFISHING]

Love those blues when they get 15 to 20 pounds they are a riot!!

For some reason we dont get alot of blues that big along the gulf coast, i could only imagine the fight from a 15lber Lol

4500

Is it that time again!! Got some new gear I have be dying to try!

[@liacia8052]

Good video you are the man

[@papastrawder]

Are you fish with spider wire just asking

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yes on this reel

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Wait until you hit a school of them the size of a football field and they're all 2 feet long. You'll need a wire leader and black terminal tackle because they smash anything shiny and often bite the line through at the swivel. You catch your bag limit quickly and get sore and tired shortly after that. That's what it's like fishing in the surf around south east Queensland during winter when the Tailor (bluefish ) run.

[@martaya2244]

Lol, that's not happening in in FLA.
