You have turned me into a surf fishing addict thanks for all the knowledge you share my wife says that you have ruined our vacations because all I want to do is stay on the beach and fish lol thanks buddy keep up the good work

102k subscribers and its safe to say that you have probably made a big impact to how a large portion of us that fish. That's pretty awesome to think of. Imagine how few people have impacted surf fishing as much as you have. Pretty cool bud.

Love when you share knowledge. I am sure that it is a but of a pain to do the graphics, but it helps the rest of us and makes us better fishermen.

Its so daunting seeing miles of beach and reading it is so important. Many peeps love fishing off the beach but they stop after blanking a few times. So you giving these tips is helping them so much. Im sure they appreciate it.

Nice ! I like how you explained the rip and the bars, still learning how to read the beach.

Excited to see this video. When I can't be fishing, I watch your videos...lol. Love what you do. Happy New Year!

And the go pro on a stick was helpful combined with the graphics. I could see having the Fred's eye view a standard feature. Not always explained in detail, it could just be a part of the intro.

Excellent job raising that GoPro to see the two sand bars.... brilliant & informative!

Not sure about the intro music lol. I'd like to see a video on your reel maintenance. How you clean your reels afterwards and storage maybe?

Interesting observation that I have seem to choose on subconscious level. I knew about the basics about studying the breaks in the waves and finding the whitewater and sandbars. But your method is a interesting concept. Another thing I look for that I never seen you mention, is finding inlets or outlets of flowing water on the beach. This has always been productive for me, especially for flounder and blue fish.

You put out great content keep up the hard work and I would have to say you and your group make the best saltwater video’s

Nice vid. I fish the beaches of Ocracoke Island. Funny I drive the beach looking for a rip and set up. The rips on that part of the NC coast can be really strong, pull a 3 oz straight out after you cast it. Once people start showing up on the beach there always seems to be a family that sets up right next to me , even though there are miles of empty beach. I tend to point out to them that the rip I am fishing could well pull their kids out to sea and help is a half hour away.

Gotta love a good whiting bite! Great breakdown of the rip. Thanks for the content!

I love your videos. I have been beach fishing for years in Sandbridge, Virginia Beach, but I am going to start branching down to the outer banks. I like how you don't worry about getting huge fish all the time. That's why I go out there, just to have fun and get some dinner once in a while. Thanks for the videos!

Those two fish that wrapped themselves in your rig illustrate perfectly why I use only single hook setups in the surf...I do NOT want a loose hook flailing around with a frisky fish on the other one. I imagine you feel the same way. Good video on the beach "structure" as well! Looking forward to my next trip down!

Great description of that structure. Feed that family!

Hey Beach Bum, I got a couple of questions I'd love to ask if you don't mind. How long do you wait between casts if nothing is biting? And how long before you move to another spot?

Glad to see you back to beach fishing.

I liked the camera on the raised pole for the view! Thanks

Great breakdown of what to look for. And, meditation music.

Let's have some Death Metal music as you reel them in, Sir. Love it! Thank you for all the instruction, inspiration, and encouragement over the years. Cheers!

Another cool video. I really liked the structure description

DRAMATIC music, Bummy...liked it ! ...Please get a little closer to the mic when speaking ..I'm half deaf, half dumb...😂😂😂 Raising the camera works and diagrams are always welcome !

Love the info in your videos Matt definitely help many people catch alot more fish 👍

I used your technique for whiting, while I was at the isle of palms and caught some really nice whiting.. Thank you.. I can't wait to go back and do it again!

Glad you’re back in GULF SHORES doin’ your thing……✌🏼

Hi Matt I will be going surf fishing for the 1st time sense I lived in FL back in the early to mid 80's I am slowly getting what I need to go surf fishing mainly rods and reels I have terminal tackle and lures that will work and I know how to make any type of rigs needed. I am considering making rigs and baits to sell online which I have made and sold locally years ago if I do I will send you and the other ClickBaiterz some to try to get an honest opinion before making to many. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year stay safe I am staying bummy tight lines Matt.

Nice catch, those were some big hits!! Great video!!

Nice video Matt. Still hoping you make a stop in NY this spring!!

This is my first winter of surf fishing since I moved to Pensacola and it hasn't been easy. In my last 4 or 5 outings, I've caught one small whiting. I went out late afternoon today with high hopes, but when I got out there, the surf was really rough with high waves and a strong onshore wind. I turned around and went home. I'm gonna start fishing at Joe Patti's if this keeps up

GoPro on the tall poll is a game changer for your surf fishing videos it’s a great prospective for us viewers. Nice job buddy.

Wish we had your clear waters here in Southwest Louisiana. Love your videos. I'll have to take a trip to Alabama.

So it's like the fish are just outside the bar, just to either side of where the water flows out, to avoid the surf and use the rip to deliver lunch?

What? Not clickbait this time Matt? The higher camera position works I think. Nice mess of fish bro.

great video. I like the fact that you showed the strikes. Your explanation was on point.

Whiting is one of the best eating fish. Takes a few to make a meal...but one of my favorites!

Omgeeezy..... im a surf fishing addict, trapped in the Midwest! Happy New Year

Awesome video man! Great breakdown of your fishing spot! Looking forward to seeing more from you in 2022! Happy new year bud!

Happy new year to the one, the only famous bum we all love!!! Keep it going matt!!!!!

...thanks for the videos Matt......I'm not a beach fisherman, but still enjoy your posts....I often yell at you thru my monitor when your rod bends over and you are not looking....have to laugh at myself ..lol

Beach breakdowns are a fave, thank you Mr Bummy!

I love the calm music so peaceful

Hey great video man I love watching your poles bend over like that lol! I would’ve liked to see the cook catching cook those are always fun. I’ve never had Whiting next time out of the beach if I catch a few I’m gonna try it. Have a happy new year to you and your family!

Thanks for all

I take vacations now based on surf fishing. Thanks

Matt great intro music, and one of your best videos in a while! Also, I think Fred is mad at you!

Hey Matt, Happy Holidays buddy.. Hope you the wife and little princes had a wonderful Christmas. Bless you all, stay safe.

Happy New Year and good things for you. Truly

I loved the explanation of reading the surf thank you! Happy New Year!

Congratulations on passing 100k subs!! And happy new year!

Hey Bum, yes that looked like a great spot. I wish I could find those on every beach. Good catch today!

Nice! Solid fish. Do you have much luck casting artificials in the surf in the winter?

Good to see ya, still love your enthusiasm in everything you do.

Very helpful video! I appreciated the breakdown of how to read the surf. Also, Fred was ready for you that day! Lol

Whatsup..Im from Indonesia and i like your video.

Happy new year , keep the surf fishing videos coming.

Matt, loved the intro.

I like to think I've come a long way in beach fishing, but you still making it look easy lol. You don't even touch the water!

Great video! Always fun to catch one after another like that!

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

Love the content as always!!! Happy New Year to you and your family.

Great video, 👍🏻🎣 has tocado muchas escamas!!, going to google translate what type of fish a whiting is in Spanish. How many rods are you allowed to have cast out at one time, over where you are? Here in Spain we are only allowed 2 rods per licence. Greeting from Surfcasting Nerja

Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!! Look forward to seeing more great content and your continued success in 2022!!

Great fishing video with a lot of nice whiting l love catching them to

Yeah Bamma I hate when I catch so many fish my arms get tired, NOT LOL. I haven't seen a whiting bite like that here in Daytona in quite a long time.

Where’s that fishing spot at?

Great action ,fun to watch..Happy New Year to you and the Family.

Intro was on point! Great job man!

What is that orange thing that you have near the hook...?

Happy New Year !

Fish tacos tonight! That beach fishing looks so fun!!

Happy New YEAr and Merry Christmas brother Paul

Thanks for the tips, I hope someday I will be able to use them. GM

What were you using for bait this particular time for whiting?

Happy new year

Great info! I'd of fished that spot too. Excellent video man.

Any way I can book a tour I'm here until Saturday

Hopefully grasshopper will one day snatch the pebble from the masters hand. Thanks for all your imparted knowledge

Can you fish on any beach in Florida or only certain one.

Just started watching your video s and gonna try it out myself. Any tips on all around rod and length? I was looking at b-pro Breakwater gear for starters.

Slayed em

Great explanation!

Nice Video Matt,. Great "Whiting" Catch !

Another top vid mate and just one question that little bird running around what is it and what is it chasing hahaha

That looks like so much fun

Dude, thanks for the info. I’ve got to go through all your videos to get more info. Just bought property in Ft Morgan, so I’m taking up a new hobby. Keep a bumming.

What size rods are you using if you don’t mind me asking

I moved back to Tennessee from nc! Now I catfish! Missing the beach!

Fishing in rips is the best

That first fish hit like a truck. Cool, go pro on a pole. I like it.... Like ladder fishing but no ladder. Love it Matt, just like old times when I first started watching you. Still fun. Just straight fishing and catchin. Hey, have you ever tried bleeding the Whiting? They taste pretty good as is but just wondered.

Have a Great New Year!

What bait for whitening? Are u on east coast

That was just Awesome !! 🧨🧨

Awesome videos Bama!! What steelhead rods do you recommend and what are the specs? Thank you sir!

You're starting to look like Matt Damon in the Martian movie. Day 469😂

Awwww poor little bummy caught so many fish his arms were hurting lol. Wish I could have that problem.

Mr. Sandpiper made an appearance at 3:15:) Like the high view.

May I ask what size reels and weight/type of line do you use on your 11’ rods?

Looks fun! They let you use multiple rods over there.

Nice video bro
