Topwater POPPER Surf Fishing!

[@rona.7058]

Lot of people in this comment section complaining that he threw those fish back...come on guys...you don't have to keep literally every good fish you catch...throw one back to appease the fish gods every once in a while....your grandkids will thank you

[@sir.mathass4712]

Jesus Christ loves you

[@박용성-u4w]

Too small or too big to eat and the fish goes straight back.

[@TylerShupe]

Imaging caring what fish another man wants to keep or throw away

[@michaelpotts3685]

Man i came across this video looking up topwater bass fishing stuff but clicked on your video because of your name. I actually grew up fishing for Blues and Pompano on those exact shores. My dad lived in Mobile a lot of years and we would come down to Ft. Morgan to fish as much as we could. Stoked I found your page.

[@gregkerr725]

Man...years ago we stayed at a holiday Inn on Pensacola Bay right at the Base of Gulf Breeze. Don't know if it's still there. Anyway, I am out on the bay beach very early just looking around. A guy was fishing over in the corner sort of, and using what looked to be a rig no more than you'd fish for bass. He hooked something big and fought it for about 45 minutes. When the fish was in shallow he handed me the rod and waded in a bit to try and grab it and pull it the rest of the way in. Had to be a 45lb Jack Crevelle. He actually bled from grabbing it at the base of the tail. Biggest Jack I ever saw. BACK IT WENT INTO THE BAY! Sure enjoyed watching a masterful fish landing!

One of the many reasons why I love Florida. Aaaahhhhh, the good life

[@bobbytodd5846]

Absolutely love top water, I have definitely learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks and God bless

[@Pancakedawgz]

This passed Sunday in the lagoon near the new pier the spanish were in so thick the water seemed to be churning. Now is definitely a great time to catch them from the shore.

[@mrt7333]

I found a popper today while surf fishing with baits, just floating in the water. Made me consider using lures. Good video.

[@wesidefoos]

Fish for a living, fish for fun on your day off. You are 💯bummy. Love it🤙

[@deljanehutchings5097]

Would lov to do fishing for a living....sounds to good to b true... Sit on the beach roasted by the sun fishin by the hour.....lov it enjoy your videos

[@mullisoutdoors]

Congratulations on the PB Spanish, that thing was a monster!! That Trout was a stud to!! Great Video Matthew!!

[@alexandremanzolivieiracoel680]

Se aqui no Brazil preservasse assim como vocês Americanos preservam. Seria maravilhosa a nossa pescaria na beira das praias. Parabéns pelos excelentes exemplares na pescaria. Se cuida. Bom dia. Alexandre. Brazil

[@davebeard4987]

More Good Info... Gear, Rigging, Time, Winds and tide data always good to know! thanks for sharing!!!!!!

[@sukarnosurya3052]

nice to see you fishing ... greetings from indonesia north kalimantan ..

[@boycepoore4372]

Glad to see you back fishing

[@johnforrest6887]

Really enjoy your videos. Please , keep em coming !

[@marcpruitt7299]

If your going to use uni use a double loop uni. Just loop your line 2 times through the lure then tie the knot

[@gregkerr725]

That was a huge Mackerel......and that trout...awesome!

[@tntoutdoors_]

Oh man I found an oldie but goodie !! Let’s Go !!! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

[@thomasclark7503]

I love topwater,found a small Halco pink florescent in 80 and a 135.The 105 is sold out .Thanks for the tip

[@edderouin7396]

Your videos convinced me to buy a Roosta Popper. I fish New Smyrna Beach, FL and this lure is a *shark magnet*! I usually get a massive strike about every 5 casts, which should be a warning about swimming here. My last catch was typical, a 5-1/2 foot blacktip. Stay bummy!

[@oniinparadise9620]

Thank you for the shark report. I will keep that in mind when I go to New Smyrna. Over in Daytona beach, hope there aren't any here. Lord have mercy

[@warrenprince3480]

I have been to that exact location. Fantastic fishing there! Great video too!

[@nauticaladventurer4460]

All floridian fishing. Living by example. #1 fishing capital in the world.

[@saltwater_addict742]

Try and get yourself a needlenose GT Ice-cream, its a top-water plug that can be used on a fast retrieve on calm to mild conditions and it makes a darting action left to right. We catch a lot of jack crevalles (we call 'em em Kingfish) on them here in South Africa and its probably available in the States now. Great vid btw

[@saltwater_addict742]

1,5oz, the pink, the red head and the squid/clear colors work well

[@BamaBeachBum]

Sweet, I’ll have to check it out!

[@Pescabral]

Sure... Here in Brazil I have used transparent topwater popper to cactch jack crevalle. It's have been very efficient. Great Vid man!!!

[@danl.909]

Rather have that nice trout than ten jacks.

[@Lftlnegngster]

You ain't lyin that trout would be on my grill lol

[@mikesims7886]

Yeah, good trout and good eatin', but Matt's stated target fish that day was a big Jack Cravell - he just wanted the thrill of the fight! If you'll notice, he didn't even have his 'beach buggy' with him that day, and no ice chest - so no keeping the trout. But I'm like you guys, rather have the trout than all the Jacks in the Gulf!

[@ammadi445]

Shore jigging is very good cool.. We do it a lot here in North Africa... Thanks for sharing.. 🎣

[@White_Tiger93]

also, what kind of surf fishing gear should I get to throw that far away enough like you did in the video> the rod, the reel and the mainline size/LBs?

[@onithtv2681]

Use a 8ft popping rod and 4000-6000 reel,35-40 grams lure,20 lbs braid line and 30-40lbs mono line leader, good luck🎣🎣🎣

[@williamwelsh5451]

Hitt’in the big boys with the rising sun!!!! Nice spec and Spanish.

[@Maxrebow]

What a stud Spanish. I myself have been trying to land a big Jack. Thanks again for the video always enjoy watching

[@lukeprince7690]

Hey man you should try one of the large muskie size Whopper plopper I've got a few and Jack's hatem

[@jimmyjones2426]

Haha wtf man you should send that Halco back to it’s home! Greetings from Australia the home of the Halco 🇦🇺

[@jcmoye1]

Never seen surf that calm in my life 😂 where is this?

[@mrjjthor]

I know right

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

This is in the Gulf Shores/Pensacola area.

[@dillonzhao9641]

you should come to singapore, zero sandbars whatsoever

[@Pumpmaximum13]

He is local to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach AL area. We have I would argue some of the best year round fishing here, outside of FL.

[@farwoodfarm9296]

My first ever Striper was on an Atoms Popper in the Chesapeake bay, talk about a memorable experience!

[@12Bravojeepstuff]

I tried poppers last summer at Oak Island, NC. Didn't have any luck all week on them. However, I did have luck on the power bait shrimp.

[@ryanoleary100]

Me and my daughter will be coming to gulf shores on the 18th and 19th. We would love to be able to meet up with you. We plan on trying the gulf shore pier and maybe the surf.

[@Jhonlegochannel]

Top water popper...so amazing 🤩🔥🔥🔥

[@42701texasman]

Trout would have went straight to the box. Good eats!!!

[@AliexFolgueira]

I can still remember the headache a big jack Crevelle gave me about 7 years ago, big fighters

[@awiono]

Topwater fishing .. awesome .. my friend ..

[@jaybane3759]

I would like to know where you were fishing and why was the beach not crowded I am looking for a place like that just to get away!!

[@typhoon8711]

I have a question. Which is better to use in surf fishing? Jerkbait or a Popper. I am beginner and I am planning to fish on a beach soon. :)

[@buddymullins6424]

I’m goin to Florida the 11th of feb what you charge me for a day to show where and how .

[@andrewmorke]

Pretty sea trout and Spanish mac, wow!

[@ぼう太郎]

It was a very good animation. Thank you very much

[@walteraguilar5519]

Hello what kind of Halco is that? Thanks for answering

[@akeslowfishing1914]

very good video casting using popper 👍👍👍

[@jamesnorwood4084]

Flouro is the way to go, but with toothy critters like Spanish especially, they can and will cut your leader. Always check for frayed leader after each catch; change out leader as appropriate. I've lost some good lures chasing after them. Blues can turn you blue too. Jack's not much of a problem. I used to catch snook in season with diamond jigs in the surf. I shirted them with flocked up polypro rope tied to hook shank at back of lure. Love the weight of diamond jig. Casts like a dream, even on windy days. Tarpon also will hit it , but look out you're lucky to land one!

[@michaelcorleone9930]

Awesome man. Looks like so much fun! I think I'm going to break down and go buy a fishing license. Instead of only enjoying fishing when there is free weekends... anyways thanks for the video man.

[@dougwalker4944]

i look at your older videos ..gotta ask.. how can i apply ...NW coast...diffrent

[@mago696969]

Nice video Man, what rod and reel were u using?

[@Tam58851520]

Thanjs for a coolvid. I'm jealous I'm not in Bama. That pink absolutely lights up in morning light (on camera anyway) looked almost flo orange. Do you throw anything over the 135 popper? How long is your rod?

[@BamaBeachBum]

I haven’t. Only thing I can think of that I’d have an opportunity with it from the beach is Jacks. But I’d be willing to try if it was a more common occurrence.

[@johnnysinger3353]

Are Jack Crevelle safe to eat in this area and if so are they any good? I know in some areas they can have cig. We don't have tons of reefs to my knowledge.

[@crisprtalk6963]

Love Jacks!! I once saw a big school of them in a river come up and literally boil the water going after baitfish. it was one of the most remarkable things i have ever seen.

[@michaelbruner3938]

Jacks are so much fun. I was fishing for the at the mouth of an inlet when a school of monsters came in. A few of the literally chased a bunch of mullet all the way onto the shore next. They went beyond full speed about 10 feet on to the shore trying to get away from the jacks. Then they flapped their way back to the water. It was straight outta National Geographic or sumn. And actually caught my pb outta that school. 26.4”

[@mikekiss5757]

Hey beach bum what top water plug do you like the best For surf fishing thank you

[@Chevyryder2012]

What reel combo you using ???

[@monkeyman4131]

A nother cool video, always good to see new ones even if there a bit older. I try to catch all I can, some I even watch over. There just that good. Thanks, Tom DB, FL.

[@madvtecyo546]

This the 4.5” popper? Or the 5.5”? Thankyou I wanna get the same one

[@stacyturner1961]

Nice with the trout thats the biggest one ive ever saw though

[@fishingpalopoofficial1333]

Cool action mate the fish potential is also good How many grams are the poppers Greetings sharing experiences from indonesia

[@bobbilly501]

Just bought the roosta popper 135 bonito color, is that good for surf fishing in the Gulf of Mexico ?

[@MATHfishing22]

Very good, beautiful Fishing 💪🏼🎣✨✌🏼..!

[@christopherjenkins2373]

Never caught a Spanish in the surf up here in NC. Caught some from the pier but hundreds trolling offshore. I love to catch them and eat them. We would catch a lot on hand lines with bungee cords tied to down riggers on the back of the boar. (Weren’t using the down riggers except as a point to tie on to.)

[@Secretfamilyoffishing]

Que buena pesca 🎣 felicitaciones saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

[@manueler321]

For 2oz top water lures, what braid # is better, i have a st croix mojo surf 9` mmf and daiwa bg4000 , can i use a 20lb braid? bc i dont know if there can snap cast

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Another great video always enjoy your content congrats on the Spanish

[@simonsarmiento96]

It’d be cool to see the moments before the hook ups too great content

[@JORANGACOR]

Hey sir, how far can you throw bait from the beach?

[@BerangkatMancing]

Lokasi dimana bos?.... Mudah sekali dapat ikanya..

[@brycepatrick4808]

What kind of rod and reel do you use in this video

[@atinwolf4410]

A lovely popping fishing landbase...

[@tnpfishing8547]

Nice day at the beach that is the catch of the day the fish is just a bonus. Take care and stay safe.

[@davepoplawski4338]

Just wondering what time of year this was?

[@xdaemon61]

Can i ask your set,up sir? Im a newbie angler from philippines...

[@xdaemon61]

I already saw it on the description... Thanks..

[@mctde]

brother, can you please talk about what rods and reels to use on the surf? it would be nice to start your vlogs by explaining the gear you are using etc.

[@gavinr1834]

In Australia, we call that a Spotty Mackeral, Spanish Mackeral have stripes same species. What does the PB meaning in Spanish?

[@Клд_Спиннинг]

Хотел бы я там погонять поппер... 😁👍

[@alexanderstreett]

What rod where you using in this video?

[@madeeddy]

there are a lot of fish there,,, nice👍👍👍

[@MrOsnolaKinnard]

What rod and reel are you using and how far are you casting it?

[@jimquilon5884]

Look up a Jimmy Johnson knot, it will work great on that Diamond jig 👍

[@erichood3169]

Jimmy houston has one too. My fav

[@jojoadventurestv5472]

really enjoy watching your videos friend.. new friend here

[@chriswincek8672]

If you're after Jack, then check out Perdido Pass by the Gulf restaurant. Always catch Jack cruising that area

[@Phreddyfoophred]

Hello, why don't you use swivels on your jigs or plugs? Wouldn't you get line twist? Fill me in, I'm new to saltwater fishing.

[@bluemarblemark]

that heron was checking out that catch man (1:25)! (jealous)

[@Tagcabosportfishing]

Nice video ! If you ever get yo Cabo San Lucas let me know so we can take you fishing.

[@kembupariatv2979]

i have green one. its effective too... i will show you later .. love popper

[@Florida_Man_Robb]

We were on that beach in August 2019 and no way you could get your feet wet, Jellies Everywhere! You could easily net crab for days too, but I have no idea if that is even legal there.

[@lukeduffy440]

what beach

[@Florida_Man_Robb]

@@lukeduffy440 Near Fort Morgan.

[@dbcooper488]

Buddy, Can you suggest me fishing line size,reel,rod and bait for sea fishing ????

[@cheikhoosmed5926]

How the hell do you throw the first bait ? I can’t throw them far cuz they are not heavy enough

[@JohnSims3]

Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale!

[@74Arnas]

Very nice, what kind of place is this

[@claytonpegram6035]

Every time trout is around and I know it.I all was gig it gotcha plug or spoons works much better for trout

[@drkrm]

With a really big Jack (25+ pounds), about all you can do is hang on and then see what color your knot, at the reel, is. LOL. Great vids. I gotta get back to GS soon.

[@ssctal9305]

Wow that would have been dimner for me and the fam bro nice catch havent neen on the surf in a while doing a lot of jetty fishing but im gonna try to go this weekend though

[@georgezgreek]

dude what length rod and make are you using ?

[@moneyball1111]

Is the halco popper the 105 or 135 model? Your videos are great btw, gives me the bug to go fishing every time I watch.

[@muzzammil86]

Nice lure brother👍👍👍🤔

[@michaelkborozan4121]

how do you decide what color to use? Thx!

[@Orrytt123]

Headed down next week near Perdido. Do you think the topwater bite will be good down there? Or should I try something else?

[@BamaBeachBum]

The topwater bite has been tough in general. Maybe some ladyfish and bluefish if you want. Bluefish are a blast when they are going off on topwater lures.

[@searplays820]

Parabéns pela pescarias. Espetacular. Sigo você no Brasil.

[@catchcountcostas]

Why are ppl recommending no to the loop knot for the diamond jig? Just curious, I do it both ways

[@BamaBeachBum]

I think just to help keep the fish hooked up. I asked for suggestions on one of my videos where I was losing a lot of fish.

[@MrTcstcstcs]

@@BamaBeachBum why you dont use a snap instead? I have heard the only knot recommended for artificial is the rapala knot but that snaps are better, whats your opinion?

[@animalbarrie]

What pound leader are you typically using?
