Was there with my daughter Matt. Great to see you again and congratulations on your amazing new project, definitely a regular customer😃🎣

The wife and I were there and it was great meeting you guys. You all have helped us with fishing in the bay and on the beach so much. Again congratulations on the store and the progress you guys have made.

Yup! Got to the grand opening and re-established connection with you, Matt. The place looks great. Wonderful inventory of everything needed for fishing down here - or many other places as well. I trust that the business will attract a lot of folks coming down this summer. One suggestion - if it's possible, it would be good to have some way to attract people to your store. Signage, local ads, small cards in local restaurants, etc. Good to see you again. Jaybe (formerly) from Michigan.

Met you all on the Friday of Grand Opening. You were all as personable as I imagined & the store is phenomenal. Of course, I spent TOO MUCH. Will be back frequently.

Got to come in on Tuesday with the family and grab my first surf rod and new shades. You and Courtney were awesome. My daughter loved her (and her BBO tattoo she gave her). Love to see good people doing great things. Keep it up! Can’t wait to watch this thing grow. In the area a couple times a year and I’ll definitely stop in every time!

Hey Matt, I came by opening night and had the pleasure of meeting you, Brant, and Brad. The store looked amazing! I'll definitely be back to add to my gear. I also want to thank all y'all for inspiring me to get back into shore fishing!

Great stuff. Keep them coming. Congratulations on the opening.

Made it this weekend enjoyed everything I saw thanks for being so accessible to everybody.

The sunrises alone are worth the trips! 🎉 And the water clarity is amazing! Rarely on the central coastal bend of Texas is it that good

Thanks for the video!

I was there Friday and Sunday, I got to meet you all and you set me up with a ninja dagger and a penn battle 3 on friday.I caught the smallest flounder I've ever seen, but had a great time. It is a genuine pleasure to meet people that are who they are and are willing to help strangers any way they can. I got that vibe from all of you. you all made this old man very happy with the way you talked and took time with not just me but everyone you talked to. thanks for the help and the time spent, it meant alot.

Definitely got a great chance to meet you and Brad and Brant!! Store is amazing by the way!! Can’t wait to stop by again!!

I'm happy for you guys and your new adventure. I am a lil disappointed that Fred wasn't invited to the grand opening. Haha. Keep up the good work. Be safe and ENJOY!!

Why not try some attractant on your baits in those conditions. If they can't see the bait they sure can " smell" it

It was great to meet you and the guys. Got a Bummy stick and other stuff. Will send pics soon.

Hey Matt, made the trip from MD with my son and enjoyed meeting u, Brant and Brad. Hung out all three days and spent way too much money lol. Congrats on the opening! Hope to make it down again sometime.

Thanks for another adventure. I kept hoping for a trout of course. Thanks for taking us fishing.

Matt, my wife and I talked to you about moving down to GS and living in the condo we own. Thanks for taking the time out. Nice meeting you.

I enjoyed talking to you man and thank you for the tips man! Congratulations on the store and all of your hard work! And thank you for taking 3 hours of your time to talk to everyone!

Hubby and I were there 5 days lol. It was great meeting all of you and getting to chat a bit. We are just now crossing back into Missouri. Best anniversary trip ever!

Matthew, I was there with my fishing buddy David on Saturday! Was blessed to talk to you and Brad!! Came down from Nashville on my annual birthday fishing trip. Keep up the good work. All you guys inspire me to keep pushing with my channel!!

Sweet fishing

You have no idea how much I wish I could have been there. I wish I could meet all of you in person. Thanks, Larry Lewis

I was there on Friday and got to meet you. Gave you the "original" thumbs up. The store is awesome.

Happy I got to get down for it. Followed y’all for years. Great to meet all 3. 👍. Oh yeah, can’t wait for the visors 😂

Came to the Grand Opening on Friday opening day from Navarre. Thank you Bearded Brad for the advice and aid in purchasing my surf rod and reel. See you all on the water!

It was such a pleasure to meet you all. You took the time to watch a video of me catching a pompano on the reel you sold me. You all were so busy, yet you made time to make us feel like a friend. You all will succeed with the team I saw! Everyone was so kind. See you in two weeks..

It was fun and i enjoyed meeting you. Got some surf casting in on Johnson’s beach in Perdido although it was mot productive with thewind and high surf - I’ll be back.

Congratulations on the successful grand opening!

I couldn’t make it the opening weekend, but I will be in the area in mid-June. Looking forward to checking out the Shop!

I made it down there from Maryland with my dad for the grand opening and had a great time, it was awesome seeing the store and getting to chat with y’all there! Definitely hopped on board the fishing struggle bus while I was down there though, it was tough

Came down for Friday and Saturday, great to meet you guys.

I thought about skipping the store on Saturday but I'm glad I had a chance to chat with you guys. I caught a couple blues from the pier using the BB rig from the pier box. I'll have to try top water and jigs in the surf. The guy from Seattle.

My wife and I made the Grand Opening on Friday, enjoyed meeting y'all and plan to come back.

Great video as always man 👌

Topwater has been rough for us all I think this year. I live in Richmond, VA and travel to Cape Hatteras, NC often, and the topwater has been null so far. Even bass fishing back home, topwater bite has been off. BTW, what kind of tackle bag is that you have to walk the beach? Do you have them in y'all's store? Cheers to you and your fam man!

I was there Friday. Had a blast.

Hey Matt, I'm recently here in the gulf shores and I wish I could have made it to the grand opening, furthermore it would be even better meeting u and Brant. I even wish i could go fishing with you sometime.

My wife and I were there on Friday along with our pup Maxwell. It was awesome to meet you! I purchased your surf fishing box and I’m looking forward to trying it out next chance I get.

Enjoyed meeting you yesterday! I’m the guy from outside of Nashville with hooks in my finger!! Good luck on the Store!

check out N.C beaches. One of my family's favorite is Holden Beach. You got to fish the Outer Banks. N.C and S.C around Myrtle Beach and Murrell"s Inlet to go out to the gulf stream fishing. Don't do what I did and went out in Feb. It was terrible. Most times I can sleep all the out even if it is not the best in the world. I have had people ask how my husband can do that and he would just say oh, she just use to doing that. See when I was a kid just 18 my friend's dad give me a job working for him on a boat. So that is why I can sleep so good on a bad because I sleep and worked on one for two years. My nickname was LittleBit. I was little but boy I had a bit. I had a guy on another boat that gave me a hard time and he pissed me off and I landed a bottle between his feet and my captain said all right Little Bit and it keep. Sorry to be long and tell you a story but I thought you would get a kick about the bottle. By the way the bottle was a long neck beer bottle and Pineapple because he was Hawaiian get the message and shut up for a while but we never could stand each other.😊

You are the man!! i hope one day i can come see yall. Tight lines!

Loved meeting you.

Yes got to meet you enjoyed it was awesome

Thanks for the hard work,,,,Ur vids,,,Rock,,,,Thanks for the lesson,,,I'm always ready to learn fishing,,

Fantastic stuff, Matt. What is the backpack you're using? Looks comfy and versatile.

I was there Saturday morning, It was nice to meet you, Was down at our Perdido townhome, Great time and congrats on the tackle store

We drove all night from Texas to be at the grand opening. It was great meeting y’all and the place looks great!

I just got your box you signed. Thank you!! I have a question about the pamp rigs. What is the tooth pic for?

I like using a shiny dark black lure in dirty water , to me its more visible than any other shade or color. Everything else seems to blend in. Give it a try 😉

It was great meeting you brother!! Me and my wife came by and picked up some lures and a 8'6" ninja dagger and love it! Broke it in on a giant Jack at the pass yesterday!!

Hubby and I came in Sunday with the 2 grandkids. The store looks great! We fished with you a couple of years ago. Bought some Fish-gum and pomp rigs. Glad y’all are here!

Unfortunately I had to work. I had planned on coming down today (Thursday), but had vertigo and my wife didn’t want me to drive the 100+ miles. So, I ordered me a Bummy Stick on line and the Beach Bum Outdoor staff had it shipped in just a few hours. I will be getting it tomorrow! So pumped!!!

Sorry I missed this event for sure ! I may be moving back that way soon so I'll tough it out ! Congratulations on your big day all the same !!

I wasn’t there physically but over FaceTime which was only a tease , can not wait to be there in June . Thanks again for talking to me 🤙🏼

We came and got pics with you all!!!

Probably been by the shop 5 times already. Outfitted the wife today with new gear today👍🏼 stoked for you guys.

Im coming down this weekend and plan on coming by to see ya'll

Hi Matt, I was there on day 2. Came in from New Orleans to meet you and the gang. Had a great time. Waiting patiently for my new BummyStik to arrive. Hope to come down and fish Gulf Shores in the near future.

Was awesome got some gear

Excited for you guys, hope the tackle store kills it I will pray for you guys

Was there with my family and we talked about the BG MQ and my KZfaq channel. So thankful for the great advice you gave me! First fish with it was a toad fish …. But followed it up with a solid 10lb red fish !

I was so glad that I got to meet all of you and my fishing buddy was with me and hope to see you all soon 🎉😂

Great people great time grand opening done right!!!

Got to come the first day! You were swamped at the time so didn’t get to congratulate you so CONGRATS! store looked great.

Gotta say..it was a privilege to meet the three of you, Matt Brant and Brad. Even talked with Courtney and Melanie. COURTNEY COCKROACHES!!! These creators are exactly as advertised on the videos. Couldn't be anymore genuinely happy to give advise and Matt even told me one of his spots, which I will take to my grave...or sell for 20 bucks.. no definitely take to my grave. Did manage a couple fish despite rough conditions. Again thanks!!! ..

Hope to one day make it down there. I’ve been to Panama but never over to the gulf shores. Looking at some houses to stay at maybe next spring. This WV hillbilly loves some surf fishing. Tight lines my brother. And Congratulations on the grand opening.

Glad to see ya had a chance to fish, after being so busy with the store. Can barely wait to come and see the store. Wish yall the old cliche “tight lines”.

Two questions: 1) are you tying every time or quick connect? 2) ever try a popping cork from the beach?

bluefish are some of the most fun fish to catch in the spring on long island, best fighting fish pound for pound in our area. Just be prepped to lose some rigs and besides that you’re good. Love catching those guys

I love your videos Bama Beach bum. I lived in Tampa Florida for 13 years but the heat was getting bad so we moved to Indiana. I really do miss catching our dinner. Now I have to order online to get Blue crabs or Snapper 😂

Great video. I been trying to find them Optimus lime paddle tails for a couple weeks now without any luck.. I want some bad for some reason..

My wife and I were there Saturday. Visiting from Baton Rouge and camping at state park. Bought a few things. Tried to buy bait bucket but no one knew how much they were

It was amazing meeting all of you love the shop y'all got all of my money!!! Thanks for helping me with the 7ft do all ninja dagger and the diawa bg 3000 reel it worked amazing! Don was great aswell met your wife on Sunday when I was on my way out she's so nice! Thanks again brother had a blast!!!!

Try that Shimano FX2000 Quick fire reel on that rod. You'll love it.😅

Thanks for describing how to read the water and beach. I've been curious about that and this is the first time I've watched a video where its been mentioned. I know I can go look it up but id rather watch a fishing video LOL

Thanks for showing how to work the pompano jig

Love to see the catch and release

I was there Sunday with my walker (just had a knee replaced) and got to eat you and Brant. Brad was running around and I couldn’t catch up to him with my bum knee. I regret that I didn’t get to meet Courtney or Melanie. Maybe next time. You all are deserving of such a great store. I must say, it looked bigger in the videos, and I’m not saying it’s not big, it is just the right size. I’m glad to see that your “celebrity” status hasn’t gone to your head. Y’all are just good, regular people and I’m sure customers will come in droves to shop with y’all. Congratulations, and good luck. See ya on da beach!

I wish we could’ve had a get-together at Lambert’s

Blues that size are worth eating , but I guess on the gulf about anything is better

What kind of line do you use?

What kind of rod like is it a medium heavy or just a heavy?

Didn’t get to come but met you on the pier in March on the day of the great sheepshead chew down.

Bringing the sportsman down in few weeks. Gona hit the near shore gas rigs first for bait and kings . Then going offshore to deep troll with some new 50ft nomads deep divers and see what else we can do. You and brad should come go with us. Hit me up

Do you normally go home and take a break for the afternoon bite, or do you mostly stay all day fishing from sunrise to sundown.

Matt I need you to try fly fishing from surf or under lights

Hey Beach Bum do you have any advice on how to use the rooster popper

My first ever fish i caught was a Spanish mackerel using a semi cheap combo kit drom amazin was throwing lures the. It hit was fighting then landed it was quite fun. Few years ago like 4

So what did you see "Bizarre" and close to the beach?

What do you use to equip your beach cart?

How do you know when to use a walking bait or a bait like a roosta popper?

We got some gator blues up in long island right now

Yo Beach Bum I like to fish top water early morning too but I have a problem with getting loose line on my reel do you have any tips ??

I came out best time ever Frl ❤❤

Would have loved to have come out to meet ya Matt but it’s really far for me. Didn’t have the money for a hotel or a plane ticket or I would have come to see ya.

Sorry I couldn't be there I live in Canada but stripe bass fishing here in New Brunswick Canada best bass fishing in the wrold lol

Can you rank fish species in terms of taste? Noticed you love to keep poms and throw many other species back.

What do you think is the best bait for bull reds, ty

But what about the whiting?
