I love and co-experience your joy of fishing. Brings back many memories. I'm 74 and mostly blind, so I'm really enjoying the sound. You bring joy to my heart. Always upbeat, even on a slow day. Gotta love it...
Hey old timer! I am not too far behind you in age! Try to find a pair of magnifying GLASSES, (like your reading glasses) I have a pair my wife bought me made by "Yogo Vision" and with them on I can actually read very tiny print like in my family bible or my phone etc they are wonderful!!!! I am not sure but I think she found these in Walmart, I can ask her if you are interested. Also if you don't already know this, Windows computers have settings in them to help people with horrid vision to read like a built in magnifier, giant onscreen keyboards and cursors etc!
Hey Matthew, I wanted you to know that this past Wednesday, the 27th, my wife and I caught 12 Pompano, 8 which came on the new , Bummy Stick!!! We gave 6 of them to other fishing families who had caught nothing. This all happened between 6 and 10 in the morning. We love that rod!!! We were fishing with Shrimp and Green Fish Gum. Thanks for all your help on learning. Keep the videos coming!
What a hoot catching them on top water lures. My favorite way to catch one of my local species. Can't wait for it to start here. Great video. Enjoyed watching you catch them 'em.
That's crazy cause I feel the same way, he's got a really pure good dude vibe. His vids are always a great pic me up and this is coming from a addict. Anyway love and Respect. Best of luck
Great video nothing more exciting then topwater those were some awesome trout would love to see you break your PB this year love how excited you get when you're fishing it makes your videos so fun to watch👍👍
Like the gear info. I have been a bucket,7.8 St.Croix /various 2500series reels + a ziplock bag of basic tackle in the pocket fir so long. I DK what I am looking at in the tackle shop anymore. Getting older. Putting a cart together.thx.
I do as lot trout fishing on the Gulf Coast mostly drift fishing grass beds or oyster bars my favorite lure is a vixen kinda hard to find nothing better than a top water bite early and late in the day. Enjoyed your video.
A very demanding job, and the pressures of life carried me away from surf fishing for the past 20 years! But last year I discovered your channel, immediately subscribed, and your love of fishing has brought me back - I upgraded my equipment and started fishing again. I paid close attention to your tackle and techniques, and caught some very nice fish from the surf (who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?) Missed out on your bummy stick last year but ordered one earlier this year, it is rigged and ready to go. I will be 75 later this month, cannot move like I used to, but once again I am rejuvenated and raring to go! Like you, I plan to retrofit my Fish n Mate cart with balloon tires, because pulling it 1/4 mile to where I fish wears me out! We will head to the NC coast tomorrow and I can not wait to get lines in the water. Thank you so much for giving back thru your love of fishing. Keep doing it and we'll do our best to stay bummy here in NC!
Mercy I love your videos! I’ve always fished while I’m at the beach... BUT, I only get one beach vacation a year and watching your videos has helped me catch so many more fish!
Hears an idea that's worked for me in the past. Tie on a popper and put a 2' leader off the rear hook with a jig. It's like a popping cork and jig but the popper catches fish too. I like a light jighead or just a hook in a soft plastic body on the trailer. That trick has worked for me in Florida and on the beach in Costa Rica so it should work for you too. A little fish gum on the jig would make it better.
Mountain ogre here, only been Ocean fishing once and have a question, are ocean Trout as good as our Brook Trout or Rainbows in our mountain springs and ponds?
We just booked a family vacation in Fort Morgan for next June! I've been taking a lot of tips from you, Brant, CMR, and Bearded Brad so my son and I can have some success fishing from the beach. Looking forward to more videos!
I have been following you for years now and every year before my beach trip you get me PUMPED for surf fishing!! Keep it up brother! Hope to get out there with you sometime!!
Cool video! Gotta love that Topwater bite! Caught my Pb Trout on a Chartreuse Mirrolure Poppa Dog, 30 inch 9 lbs. Keep throwing those topwaters, You will get Your 25 plus!
That 22incher was nice, your laugh afterwards was great, no doubt having fun....beautiful, beautiful area you have to fish. Love your vids, enjoy sir!!
Hey Matt, recently I took advantage of your free promotion on the Waterland glasses. Thanks for introducing me to these glasses. Keep up the informative content. Always enjoy watching
Great video! I actually think singles hooks on lures hold fish much better. Where trebles often skin hook fish single hooks are more likely to get in one side and out the other. They don't end up all over a fishes face or in their eyes either.
I used to really like Circle Hooks! I don't know if they are used in saltwater fishing but I loved them for catching the different species in my pond out back.
Much love God bless from Morganton NC!! Love the content and love when u get the wife involved. She makes me laugh at how green she is fishing and so girly lol 😂
the trout bite seems to be great all over the map and quality as well i caught several good healthy trout the other day planned to in the morning as well
The swells and weather have not been favorable in Texas for surf fishing recently we only get that nice water when the waves aren’t churning our darker sand (side note: can’t ever get a top water bite out here)
Great job Matthew. Really enjoyed the video with Salt-Strong. By far my favorite fishing technique is trout in the surf on top-water. I live 4 hrs. from closest saltwater and can’t get there as much as I want so I’m kinda at the mercy of the conditions when I do get down. Keep bummin’ ! Peace
Great video. Going to give top water a try the end of June down in Ft Myers Beach. Supposed to be Jacks around that time of year. Do you think that moonwalker will interest them? Would love to catch a Jack from the beach. Thanks man!
Question for you, how come no one puts measure marks on their rods anymore? We used to use auto paint, model paint or fingernail polish and start at the very butt of the rod and mark of every half inch up to whatever length you thought you'd need or on the larger rods mark up to 5 or 6 feet. great job for those boring winter months and once done it usually lasts a very long time! (Note, use a VERY fine paint brush to get your marks as accurate as possible).
Great video! It hard to beat a topwater surf bite! I always throw a one knocker spook, but I like the idea of the big single hooks if that moonwalker is weighted enough to throw in the wind!
Hi Matt very nice trout in the surf on top water my grandfather showed me how to top water fish for trout in Brevard County FL when I was young his largest trout was over 30" don't remember the weight. He caught it at a camp ground and park at Sebastian Inlet the google map shows the camp ground and park is gone you can still see the bare ground where it was it is now part of the state park. Always love your videos.
Anytime you can feel strikes almost immediately, regardless of a hook set, it's a promising day. At some point, you'll get that bite, which can be all you need to trigger a frenzy.😎🔥🔥😎
Hey there brother I’ve been fallowing you for about a week now and have watched so many of your videos and have love every one of them. I’ll be in that area in June and going to try beaching fishing for the first time ever and salt water. I live in Oklahoma and that the only kinda fishing I know. Thank you so much for not only showing us your love of fishing but also giving info for people like me to learn how and what we need to get to to do this
Matt can't beat topwater when the bite is on. But I would have brought home a blue fish or a trout to your wife. You know how she loves fresh fish. Start thinking of her 🤔🐟👩❤️👨 Love the content keep it up doing a great job. Thanks for the entertainment. !
I love and co-experience your joy of fishing. Brings back many memories. I'm 74 and mostly blind, so I'm really enjoying the sound. You bring joy to my heart. Always upbeat, even on a slow day. Gotta love it...
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks..got s little teary here for a minute. You take care out there !!
Love to see the joy beach bum brings. I mean no harm, I’m just genuinely curious, how do you comment if you’re mostly blind?
Rick, God bless you sir! I completely agree with you -- the audio and his enthusiasm makes the video great!

My husband and I stopped and as you how the fish where biting on the pier Thursday 🙂 it was so nice meeting you!!! Thanks for making our day
Nice trout !
So fun when you are on the the nice Specks, grew up fishing for them and still love too!
Nice fishing matey and nice you let them go and release them , yes l know most catch and cook but nice to see you let them go
Love the top water action. Bucket list fish and catch. Can’t wait to be back on salt water this fall
What a hoot catching them on top water lures. My favorite way to catch one of my local species. Can't wait for it to start here. Great video. Enjoyed watching you catch them 'em.
What was bringing in trout to the beach? Fished incostal several times and found trout in grass.
Looking forward to getting back to surf fishing in OBA. The winter was pretty slow. Enjoyed the video.
your videos are like refreshing to me every time i get in a slump in life/fishing your videos seem to help lift me out of it thank you matt
Great session!!
What cart do you use ?
Glad I could help in a small way!
Fish N Mate Senior
That's crazy cause I feel the same way, he's got a really pure good dude vibe. His vids are always a great pic me up and this is coming from a addict. Anyway love and Respect. Best of luck
Yup

I've caught a trout identical to that 22" one you caught. What a fight! Something about a trout in the surf, it's so different from that bay.
Excellent video. I got to find the right combination of lure/line to catch those trout like those here in the NC surf or ICW.
great fishing- beach looks beautiful!
I love the message about returning to college and doing what you love. Keep it up Bum!
Where are you fishing exactly? So much fun!!!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Awesome topwater morning! My favorite way to fish early morning too! Great video!
DUDE that was awesome, solid fish!!
Another great morning for you keep catching. I'll keep watching even when your only fishing g and not catching.
Thanks for the support!
I really like surf fishing in the Texas Gulf shore. Sometimes you never know what you'll come up with.
I love these surf videos !
Beach fishing absolutely love the information I get watching your videos
My favorite show in a while. Big Trout in the surf, thanks BB!!!
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up my first Bama pompano rig today!

GREAT episode! Really enjoyed your enthusiasm. I've noticed lots of stud trout this year in the gulf states. Caught my PB last month.
Nice trout fishing I'm fishing strippebass now here in new Brunswick canada

We just booked a family vacation in Fort Morgan for next June! I've been taking a lot of tips from you, Brant, CMR, and Bearded Brad so my son and I can have some success fishing from the beach. Looking forward to more videos!
Great morning of fishing Matt! We could possibly see more of the top water action with a hat cam since you are kind of short! 😎
Moving to Palm coast fl. Looking to start surf fishing. Love your content.
I enjoyed the video. If you don’t mind, what are the specs of the rod you were using.
GREAT day on the beach! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers fur the vid ye got some stoating fish luv whit ye'er daeing keep it up.
Was wondering if you did charters on the beach? If so where do I go to schedule a trip
I have been following you for years now and every year before my beach trip you get me PUMPED for surf fishing!! Keep it up brother! Hope to get out there with you sometime!!
Did I miss your description of the “structure” you were fishing?
Awesome video!!! Know it was a lot of fun on that top water bite!!! Keep up the great content !
Cool video! Gotta love that Topwater bite! Caught my Pb Trout on a Chartreuse Mirrolure Poppa Dog, 30 inch 9 lbs. Keep throwing those topwaters, You will get Your 25 plus!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
@@BamaBeachBum yes sir!!
Were you walking the beach with the topwater or were the trout holding in a particular location? Great video sir
Some great fish, thanks for sharing, keep safe and take care.
Hey Matt, recently I took advantage of your free promotion on the Waterland glasses. Thanks for introducing me to these glasses. Keep up the informative content. Always enjoy watching
Nice job as always!! Thank you very much for the quality content!!
Just bought that exact rod! What a coincidence haha, you’re the only channel I like to watch :). Thank you for your videos, man
Nice Job, i only have couple times catch fish with lure lol, no fish want my lure.
Any recommend rod to fair with my
Penn battle 4000 Hs?
This video reminded me of your early ones all about fishing. Love it
It’s funny, I talked about that but edited it out. These were actually the style of some of my very early vids.
Dang good video, thanks for sharing the information and instructions ✅💥✌️
where can I get a good surf rod and reel
Great video! Days like that are way to rare! Have a great weekend!
What is the rod you are using
Great video BB those were all fabulous fish, even the fowl hooked ones
TOPWATER all the way. My favorite kind of fishing.
Absolutely!
I wonder what you can do to increase casting distance? Add weight or decrease line size? Longer rods?
Great video! I actually think singles hooks on lures hold fish much better. Where trebles often skin hook fish single hooks are more likely to get in one side and out the other. They don't end up all over a fishes face or in their eyes either.
I used to really like Circle Hooks! I don't know if they are used in saltwater fishing but I loved them for catching the different species in my pond out back.
I just got the Moonwalkers on a BOGO from Salt Strong. Can't wait to get to the surf to try them! Padre island.... Let's go!
Great lure!
What go pro do you use ? I love your videos
Im with you matt i love top water fishing have the excitement is the strike just watching them hit it is most the fun. Great video
Thanks!
Love this! So much fun to watch!
Those were nice trout.
Thanks!
Great job BBB!!!! Loved the video!!!
Much love God bless from Morganton NC!! Love the content and love when u get the wife involved. She makes me laugh at how green she is fishing and so girly lol 😂
the trout bite seems to be great all over the map and quality as well i caught several good healthy trout the other day planned to in the morning as well
Top water rules!!!
Great fishing show, thanks. I would like to see what weight line and leader you are using if it's not too much trouble, thanks
I had 15lb main line braid with 17lb Flouro leader
The swells and weather have not been favorable in Texas for surf fishing recently we only get that nice water when the waves aren’t churning our darker sand (side note: can’t ever get a top water bite out here)
Top water is king!
Great job Matthew. Really enjoyed the video with Salt-Strong. By far my favorite fishing technique is trout in the surf on top-water. I live 4 hrs. from closest saltwater and can’t get there as much as I want so I’m kinda at the mercy of the conditions when I do get down. Keep bummin’ ! Peace
Epic 🎣
Man I would love to come fish with you sometime. I see the bama coast in my future.
Great video. Going to give top water a try the end of June down in Ft Myers Beach. Supposed to be Jacks around that time of year. Do you think that moonwalker will interest them? Would love to catch a Jack from the beach. Thanks man!

(Note, use a VERY fine paint brush to get your marks as accurate as possible).
On my way! Literally!! Pensacola bound, let's goooo!!!
Well cmon were waiting for you!
Man good luck haven’t been out there since august, I’m really starting to get the itch again especially after watching this!
Get it!
Great video! It hard to beat a topwater surf bite! I always throw a one knocker spook, but I like the idea of the big single hooks if that moonwalker is weighted enough to throw in the wind!
It casts great!
SWEET!!!
What can I say? Awesome!
Great video, nice trout catch!!
Thanks!

Trout is delish...why not keep one ?

Awesome stuff dude
Nice.
Nice catches, you have such a variety and the sea is flat . I am from south africa, you guys check out this guy , zoo look fishing
What kind of line are you using?
Nevermind you told it at the end of the video lol
My favorite way to fish the surf!!! How soon does it make sense to start throwing big poppers?
Getting about that time. Summer time jacks are more fired up than in the spring.
Great Video!
Matt can't beat topwater when the bite is on. But I would have brought home a blue fish or a trout to your wife. You know how she loves fresh fish. Start thinking of her 🤔🐟👩❤️👨 Love the content keep it up doing a great job.
