Man...years ago we stayed at a holiday Inn on Pensacola Bay right at the Base of Gulf Breeze. Don't know if it's still there. Anyway, I am out on the bay beach very early just looking around. A guy was fishing over in the corner sort of, and using what looked to be a rig no more than you'd fish for bass. He hooked something big and fought it for about 45 minutes. When the fish was in shallow he handed me the rod and waded in a bit to try and grab it and pull it the rest of the way in. Had to be a 45lb Jack Crevelle. He actually bled from grabbing it at the base of the tail. Biggest Jack I ever saw. BACK IT WENT INTO THE BAY! Sure enjoyed watching a masterful fish landing!

Man i came across this video looking up topwater bass fishing stuff but clicked on your video because of your name. I actually grew up fishing for Blues and Pompano on those exact shores. My dad lived in Mobile a lot of years and we would come down to Ft. Morgan to fish as much as we could. Stoked I found your page.

This passed Sunday in the lagoon near the new pier the spanish were in so thick the water seemed to be churning. Now is definitely a great time to catch them from the shore.

I found a popper today while surf fishing with baits, just floating in the water. Made me consider using lures. Good video.

Se aqui no Brazil preservasse assim como vocês Americanos preservam. Seria maravilhosa a nossa pescaria na beira das praias. Parabéns pelos excelentes exemplares na pescaria. Se cuida. Bom dia. Alexandre. Brazil

Absolutely love top water, I have definitely learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks and God bless

More Good Info... Gear, Rigging, Time, Winds and tide data always good to know! thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Would lov to do fishing for a living....sounds to good to b true... Sit on the beach roasted by the sun fishin by the hour.....lov it enjoy your videos

Congratulations on the PB Spanish, that thing was a monster!! That Trout was a stud to!! Great Video Matthew!!

If your going to use uni use a double loop uni. Just loop your line 2 times through the lure then tie the knot

Your videos convinced me to buy a Roosta Popper. I fish New Smyrna Beach, FL and this lure is a *shark magnet*! I usually get a massive strike about every 5 casts, which should be a warning about swimming here. My last catch was typical, a 5-1/2 foot blacktip. Stay bummy!

Thank you for the shark report. I will keep that in mind when I go to New Smyrna. Over in Daytona beach, hope there aren't any here. Lord have mercy

One of the many reasons why I love Florida. Aaaahhhhh, the good life

Try and get yourself a needlenose GT Ice-cream, its a top-water plug that can be used on a fast retrieve on calm to mild conditions and it makes a darting action left to right. We catch a lot of jack crevalles (we call 'em em Kingfish) on them here in South Africa and its probably available in the States now. Great vid btw

nice to see you fishing ... greetings from indonesia north kalimantan ..

All floridian fishing. Living by example. #1 fishing capital in the world.

I can still remember the headache a big jack Crevelle gave me about 7 years ago, big fighters

That was a huge Mackerel......and that trout...awesome!

I love topwater,found a small Halco pink florescent in 80 and a 135.The 105 is sold out .Thanks for the tip

Shore jigging is very good cool.. We do it a lot here in North Africa... Thanks for sharing.. 🎣

What a stud Spanish. I myself have been trying to land a big Jack. Thanks again for the video always enjoy watching

Hey man you should try one of the large muskie size Whopper plopper I've got a few and Jack's hatem

It was a very good animation. Thank you very much

Really enjoy your videos. Please , keep em coming !

Trout would have went straight to the box. Good eats!!!

My first ever Striper was on an Atoms Popper in the Chesapeake bay, talk about a memorable experience!

Flouro is the way to go, but with toothy critters like Spanish especially, they can and will cut your leader. Always check for frayed leader after each catch; change out leader as appropriate. I've lost some good lures chasing after them. Blues can turn you blue too. Jack's not much of a problem. I used to catch snook in season with diamond jigs in the surf. I shirted them with flocked up polypro rope tied to hook shank at back of lure. Love the weight of diamond jig. Casts like a dream, even on windy days. Tarpon also will hit it , but look out you're lucky to land one!

Never seen surf that calm in my life 😂 where is this?

Love Jacks!! I once saw a big school of them in a river come up and literally boil the water going after baitfish. it was one of the most remarkable things i have ever seen.

Jacks are so much fun. I was fishing for the at the mouth of an inlet when a school of monsters came in. A few of the literally chased a bunch of mullet all the way onto the shore next. They went beyond full speed about 10 feet on to the shore trying to get away from the jacks. Then they flapped their way back to the water. It was straight outta National Geographic or sumn. And actually caught my pb outta that school. 26.4”

I have been to that exact location. Fantastic fishing there! Great video too!

Top water popper...so amazing 🤩🔥🔥🔥

great video ...was always wondering how come people don't use longer rods for coast angling? Is that like 7 feet rod?

Haha wtf man you should send that Halco back to it’s home! Greetings from Australia the home of the Halco 🇦🇺

Topwater fishing .. awesome .. my friend ..

Oh man I found an oldie but goodie !! Let’s Go !!! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

really enjoy watching your videos friend.. new friend here

Glad to see you back fishing

also, what kind of surf fishing gear should I get to throw that far away enough like you did in the video> the rod, the reel and the mainline size/LBs?

Use a 8ft popping rod and 4000-6000 reel,35-40 grams lure,20 lbs braid line and 30-40lbs mono line leader, good luck🎣🎣🎣

Yeah, good trout and good eatin', but Matt's stated target fish that day was a big Jack Cravell - he just wanted the thrill of the fight! If you'll notice, he didn't even have his 'beach buggy' with him that day, and no ice chest - so no keeping the trout. But I'm like you guys, rather have the trout than all the Jacks in the Gulf!

I tried poppers last summer at Oak Island, NC. Didn't have any luck all week on them. However, I did have luck on the power bait shrimp.

Hitt’in the big boys with the rising sun!!!! Nice spec and Spanish.

A lovely popping fishing landbase...

i have green one. its effective too... i will show you later .. love popper

Very good, beautiful Fishing 💪🏼🎣✨✌🏼..!

Awesome man. Looks like so much fun! I think I'm going to break down and go buy a fishing license. Instead of only enjoying fishing when there is free weekends... anyways thanks for the video man.

very good video casting using popper 👍👍👍

Me and my daughter will be coming to gulf shores on the 18th and 19th. We would love to be able to meet up with you. We plan on trying the gulf shore pier and maybe the surf.

Pretty sea trout and Spanish mac, wow!

I’m goin to Florida the 11th of feb what you charge me for a day to show where and how .

Que buena pesca 🎣 felicitaciones saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

Хотел бы я там погонять поппер... 😁👍

A nother cool video, always good to see new ones even if there a bit older. I try to catch all I can, some I even watch over. There just that good. Thanks, Tom DB, FL.

Never caught a Spanish in the surf up here in NC. Caught some from the pier but hundreds trolling offshore. I love to catch them and eat them. We would catch a lot on hand lines with bungee cords tied to down riggers on the back of the boar. (Weren’t using the down riggers except as a point to tie on to.)

If you're after Jack, then check out Perdido Pass by the Gulf restaurant. Always catch Jack cruising that area

Nice with the trout thats the biggest one ive ever saw though

Parabéns pela pescarias. Espetacular. Sigo você no Brasil.

Look up a Jimmy Johnson knot, it will work great on that Diamond jig 👍

Hello what kind of Halco is that? Thanks for answering

Great content. Keep it up. STAY BUMMY!!!

Obrigado amigos blz tmj 🎣🐠👍👍🐠👏🐠👏

I have a question. Which is better to use in surf fishing? Jerkbait or a Popper. I am beginner and I am planning to fish on a beach soon. :)

It’d be cool to see the moments before the hook ups too great content

brother, can you please talk about what rods and reels to use on the surf? it would be nice to start your vlogs by explaining the gear you are using etc.

Good video fishing...amazing 👏👏👏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

Sangat banyak ikannya, laut di tempat itu terjaga

there are a lot of fish there,,, nice👍👍👍

nice popper action

With a really big Jack (25+ pounds), about all you can do is hang on and then see what color your knot, at the reel, is. LOL. Great vids. I gotta get back to GS soon.

What reel combo you using ???

We were on that beach in August 2019 and no way you could get your feet wet, Jellies Everywhere! You could easily net crab for days too, but I have no idea if that is even legal there.

Nice day at the beach that is the catch of the day the fish is just a bonus. Take care and stay safe.

I like the color combo

Thanjs for a coolvid. I'm jealous I'm not in Bama. That pink absolutely lights up in morning light (on camera anyway) looked almost flo orange. Do you throw anything over the 135 popper? How long is your rod?

I haven’t. Only thing I can think of that I’d have an opportunity with it from the beach is Jacks. But I’d be willing to try if it was a more common occurrence.

Looks a lot like our corvina on the west coast

Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale!

Are Jack Crevelle safe to eat in this area and if so are they any good? I know in some areas they can have cig. We don't have tons of reefs to my knowledge.

Top Popper Fishing Best..
