I'm just returning home from spending a week on Holly Beach Louisiana. Set up the tent, then set up the pole. Then spent the following 7 days doing nothing but fishing bull reds! They don't swim that close to the shore around Holly Beach, though. We have to walk out about 100ft. to cast where they are. Beautiful fish, and so much fun to catch!
I wish I could have caught a flounder last week on the NC Outer Banks. I did catch my biggest fish ever in the surf though. I had a 30 minute fight with the largest stingray I’ve ever seen. I got him to the beach before a swivel broke. He could have been close to 100 it’s. and was well over four feet wide. Luckily I didn’t have to touch him because a wave came in and he swam back to the deep. Used a vintage Shimano SSG 7000 rear drag to get him. Very nice Red you caught. Enjoyed the video as always. Your daughter is adorable. She reminds me of one of my granddaughters.
Wanted to give you a shout out BamaBeach, cb, and the other crazy clowns. I was put in the hospital with covid and on 15 liters of air, couldn't move, could not remain awake, for a week and a half till they got me situated in September. Once I was able to comprehend what happened, all I had was my phone and a charger. By this time I lost all the muscle mass in my arms and legs so I could barely move the phone around (thank god for nurses and a case with a stand). I came across catch and cook channels, pier fishing in Florida, and your page! It was videos like yours and many others that got me through. I am now at home but on home oxygen 24/7 and trying to walk again and build up thy legs. =) I wanted to reach out to your channel and others to thank you. It was because of these videos I realized how bad of a fisherman I am lol. But it was because of these videos I made it through. It was low sitting in a hospital quarantined for a month with only hospital staff. But it reminds you of how blessed we are. Keep kicking ass! TOT
So my family just left Ft. Morgan. I've watched your videos for at least 3 years now. I walked out on the beach the first morning we were there and based on your advice on how to read the surf in your videos, I set up. For 5 days, me and my kids had the best time. My 3 year old and 5 year old straight up SLAYED the whiting using...... a snoopy rod. I've got the photos to prove it. I thought several times that their little snoopy reel was going to explode when some of the bigger whiting took off. Seriously, we had guys set up around us walking over to ask us what they were doing because they were straight up killing the whiting. I referred them to your channel. We even caught some small pomps and a couple flounder. We kept enough to fry some dinner one night, but everything else went back in the ocean. Huge thanks to you man. Couldn't have done it without watching your videos for great tips. My kids think I am the man now.
Fishing in Charleston Harbor SC Sight casted a Large Bull Minnow about 15 ft in front of a 9# 6OZ Flounder in 12-18" of water. outside the river channalRiver bottom is Black mud. Area he swam into is side channel and bottom is White sand. 29 inches long and FAT!
Love it man! Just got my pack of slam shaddys in! Tried to order a bummy stick but it seems like it’ll be feb before it’s back in stock. I’m coming in town and was looking for a good rod for my daiwa ds9? Any suggestions. I have a 4500 for lighter tackle but I haven’t gotten a rod for the daiwa yet. Sick red fish blue fish!!🤣
Man, I miss the surf fishing that was once possible in Grand Isle and Fourchon. The hurricanes in the past couple decades decimated the beaches down there. Very limited accessibility now. And Ida made it even worse.
thanks for the video and for sharing your daughters intuition on what kind of fish her daddy catches. I can't wait to see her out there with you fishing. stay safe
Bama, when you talk about salmon/steeihead rod, what specifically are you referring to? Is it the Okuma SST-S series? I have a beach rod which is fine for cut baits but for casting and retrieving spoons,etc it just wears me out.
FWIW...I put a small white paint spot (covered with clear nail polish) 9, 12, and 15 inches from the butt of all my rods...fresh and saltwater...helps to quickly measure fish.
Coming down Thursday and would like to do some beach fishing with light tackle, what do I need to target and what baits would you recommend ( ie spoons top water swim baits ) thanks
Hey Matt why didn't you keep that one flounder it was a little under 15 which is perfectly legal and it was a fatty. You could have had dinner for you and your wife and kid !
Love the way you change things up. Beach fishing is dear to my heart. That's where my salt water journey began. Nice it's in your backyard! I think you're right, something's not right with that red! Thanks Matt 👏💪👊
I got to meet a couple reps for Watermen this past weekend during the Oceanfest here in Surf City,, nice guys. I can see why you like the sunglasses,, very nice,, but as hard as I am on sunglasses, I buy a much cheaper brand. But polarized sunglasses are a "must have" for fishing! Also,, I've been telling a lot of anglers about your channel. 98K,, so close to your 100K goal,, hope I've helped!
just got back from sandbridge virginia 2 weeks of slamming flounder and reds....thank you and all the clickbaiterz for all the great content, taught me alot for my last trip... and good luck in that callout with the Texas boys! I checked them out and they are pretty good at what you guys do
The Fish Bites out fished Gulp for me this year. Tried to film a video at the end of the season, but between the wind that day and GoPro issues it didn't work out. Guess that will wait til next season...
I know I asked and your probably busy but can you do a pier fishing for beginner I've been a few times and I went to Panama and caught a few but nothing worth keeping I just wanted to ba able to do it and catch some fish. Please
I love how you can read the surf and know exactly what’s going on. As much as I try it all looks the same to me. You have a great gift. Keep up the cool work and videos. Maybe someday I’ll learn to read. 🤔🙂
Beautiful Redfish Matthew! And those flounder looked great too. I love how you explain your watercraft and how you read the surf. It’s a skill that not everyone has. Thanks again for the content and as always, peace and love from the UK 💕
Good advice on reading the water. Always a good call to throw to the fishiest water water you can find.
Love catching the flounder! And... the precious one!

What jig head do you like to use with the slam shady?
Brooo maybe that Red been hanging out with Ron and had too many cheese balls lol
Thanks bum good show as usual
What line do you use? also what style of rod and reel are you using?
Winter is coming up… a clickbaiterz ice fishing trip would be cool

How do you rig the slam shady?
Great video again, Matthew! Nice catch!! Stay Safe and Healthy

Man 70 degrees where I’m at it’s 90 lol
Man, I miss the surf fishing that was once possible in Grand Isle and Fourchon. The hurricanes in the past couple decades decimated the beaches down there. Very limited accessibility now. And Ida made it even worse.
Love the video's, would like to have seen an explanation of the difference between Southern and Gulf Flounder.
@zackr6 Thanks for the information. Don't get to fish Florida or Alabama much.
Love the vids bro if you don’t mind can you or someone tell me what rod that is you are using ?
Hooked one like that with a gotcha once. Awesome.
thanks for the video and for sharing your daughters intuition on what kind of fish her daddy catches. I can't wait to see her out there with you fishing. stay safe
Can you tell me the rod length and power of that Battalion if you don’t mind? Thanks!
Awesome job with that redrum! Beautiful, dramatic cloudscape too.
Lots of beautiful fish. Thank you for sharing.🐟🐟🐟
Cool video thanks for sharing
That redfish was on it's last leg
Awesome redfish, great video!!!
Bama, when you talk about salmon/steeihead rod, what specifically are you referring to? Is it the Okuma SST-S series? I have a beach rod which is fine for cut baits but for casting and retrieving spoons,etc it just wears me out.
That water is getting clear. Salinity must be rising.
Nice flounders!
boom Red fish are you able to circle your Tarket Fish like this red we can see it better in the surf while your bringinh in thanks Rhini Peace
Nice catch!!
Nothing like fishing and sand between the toes!!
Being Old now ... I am Envious of your Surf Fishing...Memories!!
👍🐟👍🐟👍
Great job on the revive bro 👍. Just stopping by to check out my competition 👀.
Great video! Some of my favorite fishing right there. Thanks for letting me watch...lol.
...good one, stay safe and have a great week...
It’s so cool to be able to sight fish the beach like that. We don’t have that luxury over here ha ha!
A movie with Flounder?
You let her watch Animal House!?
Nice flounder and red man! Good video as always!
I picked up the free pack of Slam Shadys and can’t wait to try them out. If they work for me as good as they work for you I’ll be ordering a bunch
Hahaha love it, all the grandkids are in school now.
Why don’t they put measurement marks on rods ???
Cameraman Ron and Brant were turned around by cops 👮♀️ because the Road was flooded 💦
For some reason, catching a fish that was sight-fished just feels sooooo good . . . congrats!!!
I wish i could do things like that in texas waters but surf fishing is tough due to the large amounts of sharks whiting and hardheads
FWIW...I put a small white paint spot (covered with clear nail polish) 9, 12, and 15 inches from the butt of all my rods...fresh and saltwater...helps to quickly measure fish.
Hey man I was going to say I bought a 100 pack of the slam shady because of you 👍🏼
Another top notch video. If I’m fishing alone. That my type of fishing. I also use spoons .keep it coming.
I just got a pack of those from the link. Can’t wait to test them out
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That was awesome!
Coming down Thursday and would like to do some beach fishing with light tackle, what do I need to target and what baits would you recommend ( ie spoons top water swim baits ) thanks
Not complaining, but it seemed like two different videos under different conditions. No worries...
Nice red fish and your daughter is too cute, I remember when mom were little
As always, great to watch you do your thing! You are an inspiration, thanks!
your daughter.... so funny..
Nice flounder, that was a nice red, I wonder what was up with him tho? Recon he was just an old fish?
Man that water was looking gorgeous! Sick sight fish too, really well done
Hey Matt why didn't you keep that one flounder it was a little under 15 which is perfectly legal and it was a fatty. You could have had dinner for you and your wife and kid !
Love the way you change things up. Beach fishing is dear to my heart. That's where my salt water journey began. Nice it's in your backyard! I think you're right, something's not right with that red! Thanks Matt 👏💪👊
FINALLY goin' on a charter Friday since the weather is finally sooooo nice. Thanks for the hype video!
Nice to see you catch some flounder. Would love to see a flounder catch and cook
That redfish had the covid
Excellent video, brother! Catching quality fish while everyone else is struggling. Lol
-D

Love your videos and your daughter is just too precious. Easy to see that you’re a great dad.
I love catching flat fish. And eating them. A Clickbaiters flounder challenge could be fun while they're biting. Nice redfish!
I know I asked and your probably busy but can you do a pier fishing for beginner I've been a few times and I went to Panama and caught a few but nothing worth keeping I just wanted to ba able to do it and catch some fish. Please
Well Done. What size jig head do you use in the surf with a paddle tail? I am sure it depends upon the current, but what size were ya using then?
Awesome to see those guys moving close to shore again. Red October.
I love how you can read the surf and know exactly what’s going on. As much as I try it all looks the same to me. You have a great gift. Keep up the cool work and videos. Maybe someday I’ll learn to read. 🤔🙂
What is the current AL Record for RedFish just curious?
Beautiful Redfish Matthew! And those flounder looked great too. I love how you explain your watercraft and how you read the surf. It’s a skill that not everyone has. Thanks again for the content and as always, peace and love from the UK 💕
You should do a 24 hour beach fishing challenge with Ron and Brent
Maybe he can there but in Florida a lot of beaches close at 11 or 12 and you get kicked off by cops or they give your car a ticket.
Brent haha
Do it! I will watch!
Make sure to get Ron some cheese balls 😂😂😂😂😂
I second this challenge. I do most of my fishing at night!
Matt, don't be surprised when that girl goes on stage. She sure loves the camera.
Bruh, what's up with the mop?!?!?!?!
