I'm with you Bill. Once geared up with waders, belt, bag, crampons, jacket and rod ready to hit the surf it changes you. The determination is possessing. Theres no floral pattern neck gaiters n soft teal shirts in this gig. Its battle. Cold, wet, tired, hungry....Good. Youre doing it right, keep casting. Real men are in the surf.

I'm a west coast stripped bass fisherwoman. I'm 67 years old , fished since I was a kid . Firefighter for 13 years and both wrist are now shot to hell. So I get to the beach , put my Calissa Nuclear Pink lure on my rod , strap a wrist splint on each arm and start hurling my lure out to sea . I'm in heaven ! Get water down my chest wadders...don't care ..gotta catch that stripper . Nothing else matters !

This brings back some intense memories. Great fishing there. Glad I was a good swimmer back then.

"We'll all have to die... If you gonna die, die like a man"

Can't wait to make it out to Montauk! Gonna have a blast! TIGHT LINES

Montauk Striper fishing is the real deal. The vids I've seen of people pulling fish from there... serious monster stripers. Great stuff!

Indeed. Can’t think about work in September/October. Always making that last push into November.

Having fished in Montauk, I totally get it. It sure is like a drug and boy does it feel good. Stay Safe and be well.

I KNOW THE FEELING !

This was awesome. I can relate. it's so addictive. I want to be out there every chance I get. when I'm working and I'm gonna be going out after work to fish, it's all I think about and I'll be telling everyone, lol but they look at me funny and say damn is that all this guy ever does. haha.

it's intense once fishing gets hold of you

I fu@kin love surfcasting pt pleasant beach in NJ for hours on end. Huggin rocks, waves knockin me down, life guards blowin there whistles and me laughing and having a cigarette. Caught 2 small sharks

I’m 7 years sober I don’t lie to my wife about anything . But when the fish are boiling and I say I’ll be home soon I’m flat out lying I’m not coming home untill I’m done.

Some legends in that video!

This is just cavemen with passion for what they love! This love we have for this surf fishing stems deep into our genes. Great video!

Damn bro it just got real it’s all I I can think about when I’m working I just got back from fishing with the family But thank goodness my girl has the itch for that twitch also good luck with everyone’s next trip

Awesome video!!!

Best fucking feeling in the world.

"Die like a man" just scratches the surface great video

I watch this over and over

love these videos

Good stuff ! 👍🎣

So good, and so true...

LOVE THIS!

Best Montauk Surf Casters Video out there! Not the first timed I've viewed this video :) Was this directed by Steven Spielberg?

Fisherman's widow so it is a thing? I'm not alone! 😂

Adrenaline for sure. The video alone got me pumped

Beautiful.

awesome video

Fishing Montauk in a 50 knot NE blow, and 50 degrees, is an experience, for lack of a better word. Word's can't describe the exhaustion you feel after fishing all night in those conditions. My body still hurts 30 years later! I was always smart enough to avoid the point when it was really snotty, there is no fish worth being killed over. The ride, and the crowds are just too taxing now, I've found other easier places to fish.

Awesome run here in NJ 2022.

No matter the wind at your back or the nor'easter in your face. No matter the sun of the morning or the cold moon of the night. No matter calm water or bitch angry sea. No matter an illusive lone sideliner or the absolute chaos of the blitz. Why not the comfortable bed or the warm cottage? Why do I leave for the midnight tides? The hunt goes on and on and on and I know, that I am alive!

instant sub.

Alright, let me pack everything that I own and move out to the bay to fish on the surf for the rest of my life.

Best year here in NJ. 20lbs consistently

I LOVE STRIPER SURF FISHING

What about AMWF videos

You guys are Awsome but can you tell me where Montauk is in NY please

IM IN 👍

Billy is the only good surf fishermen left in the montauk crew.the rest of the old pros are either in florida or they dont brother with it anymore.

Yes, Like I drug and I love it

My drug of choice striped bass from the surf straight up

I think I want your hat!

God I love fishing

Is it just me? Or do people watch these old videos just to see how big the stripe bass are

You only right

Surf fishing in west coast xD

Such overfishing of stripers now its sad. Im lucky in Quebec that the lake I fish at has responsible anglers who almost 100% catch and release.

Fuck it, I'm having the same problem.

Beat the fish insane? Lol Wouldn’t want to cross this guys line lol. Beat the fish insane lol

On mommas

What did he say hit the guy in his eye?

Nothing like the tug its what its about......take a kid fishing......

I'm just fishing.....

This is real striped bass fishermen how we are nothing like any fishermen on earth we krazy, you guys agree?

Great video. I love to surf fish for stripers too but this one day I was in my kayak after a 40 plus inch striper when I hooked a great white shark. Part of my video was recently used on the Discovery Channel episode called The Great White North. Toss me a subscription if you like, I only need a couple more to get 1000 :) Cheers

Heeeey don’t say sand beaches aren’t dangerous too man. Not as dangerous maybe but don’t say no danger.

Video gave me anxiety... my friend is addicted to surf fishing..
