Spring time pompano fishing is creeping up on us. The weather and fishing currently isn’t great so I stayed inside and made a quick video of 5 must have tools for surf fishing. Hope it helps!

As always a good video. I’m in St. Clair Co. Alabama and enjoy the videos even more because you are fishing the same beaches and bays I frequent several times a year. I’ve picked up quite a few tips and a can’t wait for my next trip down!
What’s the fishing outlook for this weekend down there on the Gulf, BBB?
not great conditions? we have 25 mph winds and 9-12 foot waves.. LMAO.. so big of waves, it took out a big chunk of the longest pacific-facing pier in the US, look it up, there are some crazy clips and instagram photos, etc of the extent of the damage…
Man oh man, I drove down fro Opelika this weekend without checking the weather. Bad call. Everyone I ran in to said it was the single worst week of fishing they’ve ever experienced. I had the same luck. Bummer. At least it’s only a three and a half hour drive.
Pliers, sunglasses day, red headlamp night, hat, surfbelt when wearing waders, knife
Rod, lures, surfbag
Done
great advice and video.
Thanks for the suggestions some of the most simple thing can be some of the most important things to have along. Good fishing to you.

Sweet tips! Im watching it rain too lol!
Good video! Shhhhh Fishbites are my secret bait
Bama please post a video of your favorite rod n reels to take surffishing.
Good advice Bum-Man!
Especially the towel and hook grabbers.
I had one day when all I was catching was wrays and all I had was a pair of plyers and one particular one was trying his best to kill me, even though on his back. A crowd gathered of course, and I was at the point of just cutting the line, which would probably turned the crowd into a MOB and a metal detecting gent came along and used his scoop bucket on a stick thing to restrain the tail while I performed oral surgery, and all was happy. There might have even been some cheers.
I’m not into blowing you money on every gimmick out there but some tools and hacks are a must!
Which fish did you say in a past video that had venom or something on its spines or fins?
You need all that stuff EVERY TIME you go fishing! Lol
Ive only got a few birds cought in my lines and had to use my shirt thanks for the tip Bama, here in Texas the wind is blowing at 30.
Serrated scissors work best for braid. They work great on larger diameter monofilament because it doesn’t try to spit it out when you try to cut it.
Awesome cold day video!. Where you purchase your floats from or make?!
50º? Try 12 brother!
Okay. So. Here’s a question. So you’re on the beach with all that fresh water, maybe coffee, or God forbid beer. There’s people strolling by and slowly your bladder fills to the pain point. You don’t want to just pick up everything and leave, you can’t leave your stuff there and you don’t want to get arrested. Any creative strategies to deal with this? Lol
Never thought about the towel – thanks!
good job as always beach bro ! good items to have any time fishing any wher ! Ill see ya out ther !
Getting Excited for Pompano.
Totally agree on the annoying fabric matrix and scissors are a great way to get the FISHBITES fabric off.
And if you don’t use this tool to cut line you need to start using them. Hands down the #1 tool I have for fishing!

I don’t play golf anymore so I had all these golf towels laying around. They have a grommet that makes it perfect to put a loop on and hang on anything you take to the beach. Very handy.
I’m surprised you don’t have more subs!
οκ.
Good advice that not everyone thinks about. Thanks
All good points, well taken!
Great to know thanks bum
Thanks for the tips man, see you in April!!
Haha its gonna be about 38-41 with a 15+ mph wind when I hit the water tomorrow. I guess maybe that plays a bigger effect on the surf but the reality is its never too cold to fish!!!
Hope your family and friends in Wetumpka weren’t too badly damaged by the tornado! They’re in our thoughts!
Good info.
Great tips!
Another good video hope to be down that way come summer
I never understand why people thumb down …. your videos are fun and a great info …
Liked the vid I have always struggled getting cut off I’m going to try braid
Great tips. Might I also suggest bringing water tight box for keeping keys, cell phone, wallet etc out of the sand and rain
you would be surprised on those miserable days with weather are good days to fish. especially sheepshead, and flounder
Where are you making the videos
Had it all right up until the towel. Thanks for that suggestion. Any ideas on where to get a low cost beach cart? I went el cheapo last year and bought a blue collapsible wagon from academy with narrow wheels. Just about killed this old man trying to pull it around on the beach.
Great Channel! Great Tips! I love to fish for Pompano from the Beach!
Here’s a link to the Electric fishing cart I created if you are interested. https://youtu.be/yAE1NU1thMI
Matt, seems like my expensive sunglasses last longer because they are made much better that cheaper pairs. Also… warranty!
Who cares about the weather. But good points
Hey man. Just wanted to tell you that of all the fishing channels that I view, yours is probably my favorite. I live in Kentucky and fish the majority of the rivers and lakes in this area. I’ve been to the coast several times and have been out on charters; but, I’ve always been interested in surf fishing. I’m pretty confident after watching your videos and all the information you provide that I could come down there and not leave empty handed. So, I said all that to say Thanks. I enjoy all your videos and your down to earth approach and attitude even if you don’t like catfish ;). Keep it up man!
