The whiting king back in his natural habitat. Thank god

Who else likes Matt's videos before they even start?

I would love to take your beach fishing mastery course, but I'm not likely to get to visit my beloved forgotten coast again, due to new health and monetary concerns. I'm watching you, Brant, Bearded Brad, and Cameraman Ron as a substitute for getting to fish the Gulf in person. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching!

A number of years ago I lived in Truth or Consequences, NM. I fished at Elephant Butte Lake. A gentleman in the church I pastored taught me a technique to catch catfish using a bobber. I had numerous trips where we brought home and cleaned 15 to 20 good sized catfish! I would be honored to show you that technique sometime.

Four horse men make an amazing popping cork. I’ve used them for 5-6 years now. They cast great, sit upright in the water, and you get a good audible “pop”. They’re a little more pricey than other ones but definitely worth the extra dollars in catching more fish.

I’m going through the Salt Strong course and enjoying it! Been a meme er with them for a few years now. So glad when they partnered with you for this course! Was begging them for more surf-fishing content since I joined. Thank you!

Just purchased the Salt Strong Beach Fishing Mastery class. SUPER EXCITED!

I'm really happy with your videos and fishing style, especially since you provided information about the fishing rods, lines, and hooks you are using in that video!!! THANKS, A LOT!!!

I got stoked watching you getting stoked! Great job being super aware and making adjustments on the fly. Love it!💪

Love the beach videos. It looked like so much fun catching all those fish. The popping cork was pretty cool. Really glad you're back on the Beach.

Your excitement is contageous... people are blessed to fish with you... Great Video...

Great video Beach Bum you were really putting them on the sand today nice to see you back in your element and feeding the family you can't ask for any more than that I know you had a blast at Cape Cod but can tell you're happy to have the sand between your toes again👍

I love cork fishing. Yup it's the way I started, but watching a cork is a magical thing. There is a certain kind of thrill you get when you see your bait get excited, maybe coming to the top and getting smashed, and then you see the cork go under. Very special.

Great video! Any morning on the water is a great morning, especially with the views and then catching some fish just makes it better. I will have to try using a popping cork next time, iv never thought about it. Iv picked up so many new ideas and techniques watching you.

I'm so glad you finally posted a video using 7ft rods and lighter line , Carolina rig for fun fishing....this is my favorite way to fish, yeah I do the anchor weight 2 drop as well.... but sometimes, the Carolina, with fresh shrimp, is the only rod that gets bites, in my opinion, the best way for beginners, and all fisherman...., great job

I can't begin to tell you how awesome it is to someone who gets excited about kingfish (whiting) like I do! I guide folks on the beach in NJ and during the summer kingies are the main target. They keep the kids hooked up and excited. Best little, tasty fish out there. Thanks for the great videos!

Cajon Thunder is my go-to popping cork. I cut the metal rod through the middle off and replace it with some stiff 100-150 lb mono. There is a little give in the mono so when the live bait get jumpy and leader crosses over the main line it won’t snap it. The 2 haywire twists on the metal pin have sharp edges that will cut your line especially with an aggressive fish.

Dude great video once again. Thanks. Can't wait to get back out there.

I am Glad that you have hooked up with SaltStrong. I fill that they are going to be better for it. your dialogue has gotten better in explaining your equipment and just your all around conversation is better. Congratulation!!!

Finally got the beach fishing mastery course brother! I usually only get to surf fish in OBX Salvo, NC so I am sure it will be very helpful! Thanks so much for what you do! Keep livin the dream brother! Cheers 🍻

Those were some stud whiting! I'm sure they were delicious. Another great video Beach bum. I use a popping cork quite often in the sound at the outer Banks but I've never tried one in the ocean

Matthew really enjoy your excitement! Some really nice Fish, Going back Old school!

Great video! We’re heading to the beach this weekend hopefully catching some whiting some trout some red definitely want to grill some fish I would’ve loved to of seen you clean and cook it in this video those are always the best. Keep that in mind brother and keep up your great work. Catch clean and cook!

Whiting have saved more than one fishing day for me. I've yet to ever eat one but I'm going to have to try next time. They can seriously hit much harder than you would ever expect. I've heard they are delicious. Thanks for another great video!

I love your excitement and enthusiasm.

Southern brother you sure got skills ! Love kicking back and watching the master at his craft! Got some nice table fare with those fish for sure. Keep up the great job!!!!!!

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

Awesome video as always Matt. I have not used a popping cork I do primarily my fishing on the East Coast of Florida not very many calm enough days at least in my experience to use that but I definitely plan on shifting over to the West Coast and trying that method. You got me wanting to go right now whiting are definitely a fun fish to fight I agree with you 100%. Thank you again for sharing and keep it up

So glad to see you keeping fish. I don’t have a problem at all with catch and release, but you throw back some of the best fish dinners I’ve ever seen. Lol.

Great change of pace video. I love fishing with live shrimp under a popping cork. My trout go to.

I bought it....and the Insider Club! Worth it! Thanks!!!

I use the Popping Cork to keep the bait off the bottom so to avoid the Kittys.....Those whiting were huge! thanks again for amazing content

One of your best videos. Love the random fish surf fishing. My son likes your winter creek videos best. Those are good, but these way better.

Another great video Matt! I love your videos! Tight lines!🤙🎣

Dude you get so excited lol I love it! Grew up on Tampa Bay, fried whiting are awesome eating.

Man I just love watching you. You get so excited, like me. I grow up on PNAS. No matter what type of fishing my dad took me and my brother to do he always brought live shrimp. Love the videos brother. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the video!

This was so informative. I'm so glad to see you successful.

Enjoying the Salt Strong course. I saw friends Dan and John at Jordan Dam this week end. Bama Beach Bum was the topic of discussion of course.

Great video!! Technique is important...even when it doesn't seem to be.....good stuff!

Thanks Bama! That was Fun to watch. 😁

Just got the course purchased as well as the upgrade. I’ll also be looking to book a trip one morning to learn more and catch some fish. Let me know how to book please!

Sweet vid Triple B! You got me in the mood to go catch some whiting here in Deep South TX over near Starbase. You stay bummy out there I’ll stay Addicted out here! Tight lines brotha

Awesome video. Love surf fishing down in the panhandle. Surf fishing, you never know what your going to catch.

never thought of using a poppingcork in the surf will have to try it when I back down South in August

Always so educational. Great fishing.

THANKS FOR SHARING SUCH AN INTERESTING VIDEO, MY FRIEND. TIGHT LINES... "GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS AND YOUR NEW BUSINESS!

I love your story and your videos. Congratulations on your success and wish you all the best!

Great video. I'm going to have to try the popping cork at the beach.

Live shrimp always work. Fun day for sure. Popping corks do work well. Try it with a gulp shrimp bait also. Dinner in the cooler. Always enjoy your videos

My husband idolizes you!!! We watch you all the time! Thank you as I have learned so much also. My husband has subscribed to you salt strong classes. He was incapacitated this past May and couldn't fish from April 14 until this week, June 13. Our 30 year anniversary was may 2nd and we couldn't do anything or go anywhere. I suggested we go to Gulf Shores AL. MAY 2023. I would like us to stay on the beach. Do you have any recommendations? We would love to stay over memorial day weekend

Love these style videos. Great vid

Need to get ya little pin fish and try popping cork in surf! Another great educational and fun video!

Great video, and with the moon setting on the horizon is awesome.

Awesome! Cant wait to get down there in a couple weeks

Great Video Matt!

Live shrimp! Looks like fun! Tight lines from FishHooked 🎣

Happy we got KZfaqrs in gulf shores fun to watch y’all for real I kinda wanna to start a KZfaq

Best day on the Whiting I was using a Carolina rig. Throw out and let it roll with the current. Caught a 19" 17" 2-16" and a couple 14 to 15" and a 24 inch red.

great vid man!

Using a popping cork in the surf works great I e seen people do this all the time that’s how we fish in the bays in Texas most of the time fun times right there great video

By far my favorite video. This is more relatable to the gear I have

Great video. Those are some big whiting! My personal biggest one was around 14/15. Can’t wait till the next one.

Setting up for the Power Prong -Dr Juice video!

Great video Matt! This might be really fun to try with finger mullet or LYs.

Enjoying your videos, Matthew! I'm a buzz bait bass and rooster tail croppie pond fisherman but would like to do some shore and deep sea one day!! God bless you, brother!

This video reminds me of growing up on the beach in Florida. Cool.

What is up beach bum man Great vid iam coming down there soon July 2nd what could I look to catch off the piers ive been out of the game with the pier stuff for awhile.😂

Hey man Idk when the next time you’re going to be beach fishing with a float but throw an arrow in there so we can see the bobber! One of my favorite things to see is a bobber down!

Just went port Saint joe yesterday..caught bunch hardhead.... Wish I can catch some whiting..nice fish to eat...

Awesome video man!!!!! Can I put a request in for more Kayak fishing videos lol Love the yak vids. I come to the area every year to fish and we are bringing the kayaks this year.

Fun on the beach!!!

I was about to ask where Fred was and up he flew! Love your videos Beach Bum!!

That was awesome Bam..love me some whiting..Great video

I’m in orange beach this week. Surf was a little rough this morning, hopefully you did better than I did!

Hey Bama, you, Brant, Brad need to come back done to Sanibel and do a vid on a beach erosion and how to fish it. Just want to put that out there cause blind pass is t what it use to be. Major erosion and doest look like it use too.

Great video!

Very good video that looks like fun.

I’ve always wondered if I should do this, now I know. Thanks for the video

Hey Brother! where you fishing down at Fort Morgan in this video? I know the sargassum has been real bad and I headed that way Saturday. Just wondering if it has cleared up.

Is the Salt strong surf course able to be applied to Texas ? I know our banks and sand bars are very different

need you to try a lemon rig with some live shrimp or bait fish out there on the beach!!

I had never used Live shrimp on the beach till a couple weeks ago. Let me tell ya the Big Speckled trout came out to play. My best day yet on Specks. All over 20 inches

I went out yesterday to Bon Secor and tried live shrimp on the Carolina caught only stingrays still had fun as always

My god. Haven't even noticed how long your hair has gotten. Looks fire man

I went out for the 1st time surf fishing and I caught maybe 32 or 33 very small whitings. The largest was probably 8" long. Is it because of the time of year that there weren't any larger ones around or or is it because where I was fishing? I was fishing at Chics beach near Virginia Beach.

We fish for whitening like this all time here in central Florida east coast in Melbourne Fl but I never used a float 😀

Thanks!

Can you tell me what format does this course come in. Is it CD, KZfaq a flash drive, etc.

I would to see you do a surf fishing on north myrtle Beach. Never have any luck there.

in pensacola right now, only the last 1/3 of the pier doesn’t have seaweed everywhere. and the fish aren’t biting incredibly well

Congrats on your new ventures >---

Calling your shot on the trout was 👌

If you don’t mind what beach you fishing we’re going to be in Perdido key at the end of june

I like to use a popping cork in the surf with live shrimp or Gulp baits. It does work.

This might be a dumb question but what brand fishing line do you use?

Every use slipping Bobbers(OK Same Thing)! Hows the 2' of leader throw off the cast if at all?

I’m really surprised that you’ve never used live shrimp in the surf. That has always been probably the most popular method for trout here in Texas. Your water there, is beautiful! 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Bama, how long do you fish a spot with no luck before you move onto a different stretch of beach?

Nice vidéo bro stay safe from moroco
