💯💯 Thanks for allowing us to be in your video. Also thanks for showing us a good time. We really enjoyed it and the bluefish were delicious!!! We ate them that same day for lunch!! Looking forward to our next fishing trip with you. 👍 🐠 🎣

[@BamaBeachBum]

Glad to meet you guys! It was a tough day, but we made the best of it! Lol

[@phillipburton4723]

Bama Beach Bum Yes sir! The tough fishing conditions made it all that more rewarding!

[@scottc543]

Oh, no! Will Beach Bum survive?????? I can't wait to find out in the next episode!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol I’m still here! Just a funny clip of provoking a shark and he provoked back. Lol

Tune in next week! Same BeachBum time, same BeachBum channel!

I just wonder who moved in on who?😂

[@marcusperez3443]

The ending is hilarious! Damn near spit my beer out. Keep up the good work.

Hears Bama Beach Bum declare the water dingy and dirty. Looks at home waters of Galveston & Surfside. Hangs head and cries.

[@m.e.rosson2758]

And that officer, is the last time we saw Matthew, Bama Beach Bum, Isbil....may he rest in Peace!!!!! Great video dude, loved it!

[@maces1405]

I went surf fishing today in Daytona FL. Got my first jack crevalle. He was huge 60+ pounds took over 20 minutes to get him in. Biggest surf fish I have ever caught!! Man they are strong. I also got one keeper pompano and three nice whiting.

[@Barneyrubble241]

Bluefish make great cut bait as well. I've caught tons of bluefish on cut bluefish. LOL

[@stevehogan8829]

hey man.... Glad your busy and making it work.. Maybe one day I can get up there and you can squeeze me in. Glad to see you bleeding that Blue firsh for that guy... They are not bad eating.

[@therookiefisherman5234]

Blue Fish, I am an old school fisherman from Ct and I have been in a lot of Bluefish competitions in Long Island Sound the blues I have caught have been up to 25" and they give you a run for your money, I used a 12' Ugly stick with a 6500 Shimano bait runner and 20LB test with a steel leader of the peer in Norwalk Connecticut. To cook the bigger blues, faley them as soon as you catch them don't put them in the cooler when you get home wast the meat then marinate them in mild in the fridge for a day then cook them as you pleas and I will tell you they are great eating thanks for the vid.

[@peabodymartin5201]

Love your content and attitude man! Blessings to you and your family. Glad to see you’re able to get back out there and provide.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks dude! I appreciate the support!

[@fishingthefreshlife4194]

Cooked the bluefish i caught with you yesterday on the grill last night along with the pompano. 6 out of the 8 people preferred the bluefish over the pompano. Might have ole bay seasoning I doctored it up with. They were both excellent though!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol wow! That’s crazy! Glad y’all enjoyed it!

[@bryceguillot8646]

Heading that way Sunday! Staying at Summer Breeze right by the pass. Looking forward to catching some fish!!!

[@matthewmoore170]

Gotta love catching some bluefish, too bad the pier isn't open or alot of us together could be pulling in at least 50 a day.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yeah they are fun fighters. I love catching them.

[@matthewmoore170]

@@BamaBeachBum And all you used was some cut up ladyfish...nice....in all honesty, I tried surf fishing for the second time about 3 days ago at the jetty next to perdido pass, let's just say that I got to feel the full power of the ocean that day. (🌊 💥)....ended up with pockets full of sand and a life lesson....you live and you learn.😂

[@FishingJunk]

Hey so just wondering do you ever go offshore fishing or just inshore?

[@BamaBeachBum]

I have only been offshore a couple times.

[@davidraines2873]

Well the storm didn’t chase the blue fish and the catfish out so that gives you a little fight to keep your muscle memory after the long time off. Great video buddy

[@randaltotten1464]

The anal fin on a spinner shark has a black tip . A black tip sharks anal fin does not have a black tip. Does not make sense to me but I used to fish a census tournament for Mote Marine every year we recorded and measured the Sharks we caught for science for two weeks

[@Smooleo]

I see that spyderco pacific salt folder. It's a great knife for fishing. Awesome video 🤙

[@BamaBeachBum]

It was gifted to me by a sub!

[@cgvoxakis]

So jealous of you right now. Thanks for an other great video!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol thanks man!

[@nealestanos_adk_adventures]

Besides the one you used in the video what are some of the other poppers you use? I do lots of surf fishing in the Bradenton area (I live in Upstate NY and have done primarily fresh water fishing)...I have learned much from your channel and have had LOTS more success. Thanks!

[@kennethbroadwell653]

Tell us about that Spyderco. Model, steel, etc. I never seen anybody use the beach as cutting board. I think the sand grit gets into the pivot washers.

[@dpty5150]

All my salt water fishing was done on the west coast. I now live a long ways away from any ocean, but love your show.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@setthehookwithtlbroyles919]

Dang man great video! Man! Those were some good catches! I've never seen anybody use a pauper surf fishing. That's what I'm talkin about!

[@ronhawkins5636]

Record blue was 31 + lbs, caught on NC Outer Banks by a guy trollin for stripers, 1971 (?)I was at the market in Buxton (Cape Hatteras) when he brought it in to weigh.

[@timhunt3070]

Blue Fish fresh and bled are pretty darn good. Love the channel keep putting out the really fun and laid back content. Is this one a cliffhanger perhaps?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks! Lol it was some additional popper footage. Thought it was just a funny clip to end with. Lol

[@andrewwuest1751]

I think if you freeze bluefish in buttermilk they will taste just fine. My grandfather always did that when I was young

[@Will-rp2xx]

Was nice to see someone else using (and kind of abusing) a spyderco. They're top tier work knives.

[@bassfishdude3109]

@Bama Beach Bum do you still offer guided trips?

[@tysfishinzone8957]

Hey man you gotta come over to dauphin island and give the west end a try! The whiting and reds are usually stacked with the occasional pompano and white trout

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yeah I do need to come over sometime and fish the west end.

[@greywilson6990]

Great video man I live to watch you surf fish bro

[@BamaBeachBum]

I just got my first surf setup. Picked up a 10’ medium heavy rod and a penn pursuit 3 5000. Should I go with 30 or 40 pound braid?

[@Jbay2608]

We call those bluefish shad over here, we can only keep 4 per person per day and only above 30cm.

[@russknight8780]

We have been to the AL gulf for vacation for the past couple summers and planning again for July. We catch mostly catfish. How do we avoid that??

Hey brother, love your channel. I surf fish the Florida East Coast and work at NASA so I have access to the Cape Canaveral Airforce beach, it's pristine and untouched due to the limited access. If you're ever up to visiting Florida again, I could get you out there, you'd love it 👍

[@BamaBeachBum]

Dadgum, that sounds amazing!

@@BamaBeachBum the Gulf seems to be a better fishery lol. The big Striped Bass runs are the real prize.

[@teachinbdubya]

Hey Beach Bum, I’m looking to get a 9 foot surf rod that will be equally good for throwing lures or a rig for whiting, pompano, etc. I picked up from Basspro an Offshore Angler Breakwater rod, but am wondering if I missed something better. I’d like to keep the price point under $150, any recommended alternatives?

I should have mentioned I’ll be pairing it with a Penn Spinfisher VI 5500

Haha!! That’s awesome! Looks like you got a 4-5ft+ shark at the end! Can’t wait for the next video to see what you do with it! 👀👀 Hey man how do you know which area on the beach to fish? I’m staying less than 1 mile from the gulf coast in Texas for the summer and would like to get out there. I’m fairly new to fishing and quite frankly don’t know much about surf fishing.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol it was just a funny clip where it came towards me a little too fast. Keep at it man, you’ll get it!

[@coosariverking2758]

Thoughts on what may be biting off the four seasons peir in Late July?

Pompano have historically had a resurgence in July. But spanish and also possibly king mackerel should be around.

Bama Beach Bum Sounds great man. 👍 I was hoping for Spanish and King that’s what me and my brother love catching. We’ve caught some giant ones off that peir before. Thanks 👊

Bro the Blues are everywhere I caught one but I had 2 wash up dead both with about a 3in bite plug missing on their backs ???? Sharks I'm guessing.

Don't know why I haven't seen this video before now,, but had to let you know,,, in my experience, a big blue is no different tasting than a smaller blue, as long as you bleed it, and cut out the bloodline when filleting.
