Agree with Chris. You should load it up with more advanced content and sell it. I’d buy it just on the way you explain things is excellent. And I’ve seen tons of content from others on surf fishing but this was by far the best presentation. Well done sir👏👏👏
I was on the surf last Monday in Galveston and saw the birds slamming into the water pulling fish, threw a silver spoon and caught and landed my first Jack Crevalle. Such a fun fight!
This was the most amount of fishing knowledge I have ever gained from a single video. Thank you. Great video. Great instruction. Im about to go to South Padre Island to surf fishing I like your video about how you brake all of it down for people that know what to do but are missing all of the small points sometimes it's the small things that make or break a day of fishing
“Incredibly practical” is how I would describe all your tips man. I’ve always been thrown way too much information that ends up contradicting the prior stuff I thought I learned. This was really easy to follow. Now I’ve got to convince myself to leave the boat in the slip on a calm early summer morning. That’s a tough call to make most of the times. Thanks again Capt!
Started smoking Specs on Mirror Lures in the 2nd gut out between San Luis Pass & Surfside TX. Bait running everywhere in 2nd gut, you can see your feet out there on the 2nd bar in waste deep water it's so beautiful. Flat & no wind in June 2022.. Just pick a spot at sunrise & they'll start smoking
THANKS! my wife and I are new to the CC area and are dying to go fishing and learn how to surf fish. You are truly the first real "how to fish" video we've found. Most "how to" videos are just knuckle heads showing you themselves catching fish but not actually teaching you anything. Thanks Capt Caleb!
Thanks so much for all the support! I'm honestly flattered! Keep the comments coming.. Tell me whats been working for ya... what you're liking.. what else needs to be on the channel!! I am getting most of my content ideas from your comments, so thanks for the help! I post behind the scenes footage and other videos on my Capt Caleb TV page on Facebook! Come give it a follow! I don't spam it at all. I just post things I think you would like from time to time!
Wow. Super informative. I have always only fished in the bay by kayak but when I take the wife and kids to the beach from now on, I have a game plan of where and how to fish the surf! Thanks Caleb! I’ll have to teach my children this as well.
Myself and a buddy will be in Matagorda near the end of July, coming from way up north Texas. Couple cops taking a break from the madness. I have watched ALL your video's and been checking out your guide website. Just started up our own channel and learning how to self film and enjoy sharing the stories. Keep up the great work I can say I have already learned ALOT. Maybe will run into you when were in town. Keep slamming em!!
This was a nice departure from the norm. With summer coming up on us I have been wanting to run the boat on the outside. This is a nice reminder of what to look for because I’ll forget it once I’m on the water. Another great video.
Man if only I would’ve had this video about 2 years ago when I first started fishing salt water I might’ve actually caught some fish, but hey there’s nothing wrong with learning now. Your channel along with bite me has really improved my fishing in the last 6months keep it up with the great content
A tip of the hat to you sir! I have to own up to it - Didn't think this one was one to watch because i don't surf fish. But after watching it I am absolutely adding the surf to my list of places to take the new 21CAT.
Excellent video. You do a great job teaching, Caleb! Google Earth is so cool! How about a video on how you maintain your gear...specifically your reels?
I love the Snoopy and fly fishing rods! That's awesome. I bought one of the $20 telescoping pen rods from Amazon, and vowed to one day catch a bull red or something awesome with it. Nice video, subscribed.
Your content is 2nd to none! Thank you for the information you put out. I have watched plenty of videos of other people catching fish but rarely good videos on how to. I am an experienced angler with my own boat and i know most of the stuff you’ve put out but I’ve learned more following you in the last few months than all my other years trying to get tips on youtube. Hope to see you on the water one day! Tight lines!
The last 2 cuts you showed on the middle coast I chased 2 of the biggest trout I had ever seen there last year. I threw everything I had in my box at them but that's how it goes sometimes.
Really informative and thorough - extremely happy I stumbled upon this video! Exactly what I was looking for -- it really helped fill a bunch of the gaps in my current knowledge of surf fishing. I have a big fishing trip planned soon (just myself and a buddy) and it just so happens your demonstration is pretty much right where we are planning on checking out. So, that also really helped solidify these concepts even further. The added confidence/peace of mind is a big deal -- you can't beat it! Thanks again, I am truly grateful! cheers, -Fred
When to fish from the boat or when to jump out and wade certain areas? What to look for when making that decision or the main reason doing a wade when your in your boat? Just a thought of a topic to talk about maybe even a couple catch and cooks are always good videos
Great video. Great instruction. I'm ready to hit the surf now. This is the college course for fisherman. Thanks Caleb. In the future, I would like see to the video Scott mentioned; giving video demonstration of how you work your topwaters.
Getting the trolling motor out on and ready but definitely has to be smooth in my boat but can’t wait to get out there with some Binos and chase birds and blown up bait and maybe just maybe a tarpon
Heck yeah, thanks Caleb. Those Matty ones were obvious. Looking at Galveston, they seem a little less clear. (On GE) Guess I'll just need to drive the wall and see what we see. Great video!
I’m seeing the same thing. I’ve heard the guys on Bite Me talk about being able to look at previous google map images, but I had no luck figuring it out. Any advice? Really enjoying all the videos, KEEP EM COMING!
Thanks for the info about the cuts in the surf. I was telling my wife this, but she's worried about the rip currents that these may represent. Do these cuts also mean that's where the rip currents are as well? Been fishing from Bolivar to Freeport surf for over 4 decades, I never paid alot of attention to where the breakers start or end til the past few years, always looked for birds and bait. Appreciate this info, it definitely helps.
A magical time it is indeed if the wind would just cooperate. I was hoping you would touch on surf fishing since it is my favorite way to get it done. 👍👍
Once again great work cap. How bout some fluid dynamics basics. What should the water be doing based on certain conditions. What kind of where and when should we expect eddies and what are the eddies doing? Great work keep em coming
An eddy is more of something you’re going to see with your eye than on googles earth, especially in the surf. Current directions are going to vary. Bubbles on the surface, dirty water, etc should give it away.
This is pr6the most informative video I have seen on finding fish in the surf! Great job and thanks. You mentioned it being harder in Florida? I may be headed to Destin at the end of the month.
I've spent a lot of time underwater in Destin. Not really as many guts as it is a sudden drop off the beach then a gradual slope to deep water. I did catch some reds there fishing the surf at night while goofing off. The worst thing I experienced there were these little poofball algae blooms coming in and destroying my lines ability to stay out. Slot City Fishing is a friend of mine in Florida that has quite a bit of good stuff on TH-cam for surf fishing!
I really enjoyed this topic. Surf fishing is not something I have done a whole lot of. With these tips I might have to go give it a shot some day. Keep up the awesome videos can't wait to see what you have next week. Also do you know anyone to turn off the dang wind already that would be great lol.
Honest answer,.... lick your finger and stick it up when you get there. Not being sarcastic... forecasts have been wildly unpredictable. Magic Seaweed is a cool app.
great presentation, so, my question to you is, how often is Google Earth updated. its 7-22-21 as I type this. Storm surges, tropical depressions etc continually change the shore line here in Galveston. Is there another app IE Google Maps etc thats more up to date/current. just trying to something thats up to date to cut down on time. Thank you.
Google Earth is updated every few months from what I can tell. You can scroll through time the various images were taken which gives a good sense of how the area has changed over time and how it looks during different tide heights which is nice.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the sandbars and cuts constantly changing? How reliable in terms of real time is Google earth regarding these cuts or guts whatever they call them? Just rely on the debris I guess?
I'm headed down there this week, I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a drone to fly over water to see if they can spit the fish from above? I am a little concerned to try this because of the wind
Question for Captain. How ofton does Google Earth update? With all the hurricanes we have experienced the cuts will have changed, yet the area I plan on fishing in November, I am still seeing the same vehicle parked near the beachhouse I have rented!
The updates are usually sporadic and a surprise. Some of the guts will shift while there are others I’ve fished for a long time. I would have more than one plan laid out before I left the dock, no doubt.
Really good information, Caleb! Question: should we set up near passes if possible? And a follow up: Do these fish stay on the beachfront or do they go back and forth?
@@CaptCalebTV Back and forth from the beachfront to the bay. It may not matter. And thanks for the info about passes. I guess you'd tell me to wait for the correct weather/wind, fish tidal movement, look for bait, and look for those cuts? Hope I took away the main points....
*nailed it. I do believe fish move from the surf to the bays and back, especially in certain bays. Not all of em, but some of them. That’s where you get your tiderunners in bays like Galveston. My assumption, as I’m not a biologist.
Count the sandbars. First gut is off beach then the next sandbar separates the 1st and 2nd. Use caution. It can be deep sometimes depending on area and tide.
aren't the cuts where the water is actually draining back to the ocean mostly? The waves bring plenty of water on shore, but the holes in the sandbar act as drains to let it escape back to the sea? In other words, the places where you'd expect to find riptides if you were swimming?

That’s crazy I wish
From someone that only gets to the Texas coast 2 or 3 times a year, thank you. Looking forward to implementing your suggestions.
Awesome explanation of recognizing structure when beach reading.
Great video. I’m on google earth every day! Thanks!!!

Nonsense! If it’s safe out there, go drop the trolling motor and go town from the non sandy side! Thanks for the kind words.
Capt Caleb TV great thought!
Awesome information

can you recommend a good app for iphone
Great tips, thanks you!
Thanks . Very informative & concise.
I’m just down visiting. Wanted to try gulf coast fishing but had no idea where to start. This was a great beginning to a learning process. Thanks!
Great video! So logical once you explain it to me.
Can’t wait for the surf to turn on, my favorite place to fish!
That was very informative learned a lot I really appreciate it!!👍
Great information as usual. Fishing the surf when its flat sure is a lot of fun.
Wow. Super informative. I have always only fished in the bay by kayak but when I take the wife and kids to the beach from now on, I have a game plan of where and how to fish the surf! Thanks Caleb! I’ll have to teach my children this as well.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I will try the padre island national seashore tomorrow. Wish me luck. I will comment how it goes after.
Outstanding!!
I’ve always wanted to hit the surf but never knew how to read it besides bait. It’s on now!
Those light wind days when the surf is flat man I love this time of year gets me so hyped!!!
Myself and a buddy will be in Matagorda near the end of July, coming from way up north Texas. Couple cops taking a break from the madness.

Thanks for the tips. Been looking to change it up from kayak fishing. Best explained of what to look for in the surf of any video I've seen.
That was a cool video, haven't fished the surf in a while but this got me fired up to go give it a shot again!

Awesome information. This video made it all click for me. Cant wait to hit the surf armed with this info! Loving the videos keep em coming Capt!
Great info again Sir
Great video! Thanks
Solid work Capt! Great job illustrating those cuts.
Thanks for the great video and info definitely be putting it to use
Gonna try it this weekend. Had I watched to the very end you answered my question lol. Now I know watch video in entirety
Badass video!!
Such a good video, I just did a surf video and got some good ones. Looking back I should have used lures
The surf bite is a special bite. Surf trout are strong.
Very informative thx
Good info..👍
Wow thank you
Solid info thanks ~tight lines
now if we could get these bipolar winds to slow down.. time to dust off the surf rods.. Awesome Video keep them coming 🔥
Very well done - great narration and tips.
Thanks!
Love your videos. Keep it up.
Excellent video. You do a great job teaching, Caleb! Google Earth is so cool! How about a video on how you maintain your gear...specifically your reels?

I appreciate that!
Great video bud! Going with best one yet.
I don't know if I did well, or if I have let you down in the past!
@@CaptCalebTV nah. Just more usable information that doesn't come regularly. Good info
Heck yeah, thanks Caleb. Those Matty ones were obvious. Looking at Galveston, they seem a little less clear. (On GE) Guess I'll just need to drive the wall and see what we see. Great video!
Yes sir. I looked at that. Surf was a little calm in the imagery.
I’m seeing the same thing. I’ve heard the guys on Bite Me talk about being able to look at previous google map images, but I had no luck figuring it out. Any advice? Really enjoying all the videos, KEEP EM COMING!

listen to the man, took me many seasons without gps reading the land to figure this out.
what's the easiest way to determine what the tide is doing as in coming in or going out?
Once again great work cap. How bout some fluid dynamics basics. What should the water be doing based on certain conditions. What kind of where and when should we expect eddies and what are the eddies doing? Great work keep em coming
An eddy is more of something you’re going to see with your eye than on googles earth, especially in the surf. Current directions are going to vary. Bubbles on the surface, dirty water, etc should give it away.
Is October a good time to catch Bull reds in the surf? Best bait? Thx

@@CaptCalebTV thanks ,I will check it out. Great stuff man!
I feel like the underwater structures change too much to reliably rely on Google maps images for data, has it been reliable for you?
What’s your favorite app/website for checking surf conditions? And what do you consider “fishable” conditions? And great video!
Magic Seaweed, by far.
1.5 at 6 seconds, minimum. Anything under 6 seconds, no thanks, for me.
Hey Caleb! Great video. I was just wondering how you access google earth in real time, so I can check out the waves? Thank you!
That would be killer, but it isn’t a thing. I usually just find a surf cam in my area and check it out…
@@CaptCalebTV thank you!
Can u do a video on how to surf waves?
It would be a reallyyyyyyy short video.
I really enjoyed this topic. Surf fishing is not something I have done a whole lot of. With these tips I might have to go give it a shot some day. Keep up the awesome videos can't wait to see what you have next week. Also do you know anyone to turn off the dang wind already that would be great lol.
WORD
I wanted to hit up matgorda this weekend but it is looking like a wash so we are going hog hunting instead
colby bosch yes sir. I had to reschedule my trips this weekend, too.
Just out of curiosity I am looking at the high water website have you ever used their craw baits that they have. Are they any good, how is the action?
"Delicious" I love it!
Thank's for the vidoe but how can i find a "true" wind forecast for the beach or surf
Honest answer,.... lick your finger and stick it up when you get there. Not being sarcastic... forecasts have been wildly unpredictable. Magic Seaweed is a cool app.
great presentation, so, my question to you is, how often is Google Earth updated. its 7-22-21 as I type this.

Some do, but the predominant ones take a lot to change up, it seems. I have several that I have fished for a good while.
I'm headed down there this week, I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a drone to fly over water to see if they can spit the fish from above?
I am a little concerned to try this because of the wind

Back and forth from where? I’m not overly worried about being near passes, no.
@@CaptCalebTV Back and forth from the beachfront to the bay. It may not matter. And thanks for the info about passes. I guess you'd tell me to wait for the correct weather/wind, fish tidal movement, look for bait, and look for those cuts? Hope I took away the main points....
*nailed it. I do believe fish move from the surf to the bays and back, especially in certain bays. Not all of em, but some of them. That’s where you get your tiderunners in bays like Galveston. My assumption, as I’m not a biologist.
If I’m looking for schools of big fish, I like passes... as in big ol drag burners, not trophies.
when you're wadefishing in the surf, how do you know if you're in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gut? Depend on the depth, or...?
Count the sandbars. First gut is off beach then the next sandbar separates the 1st and 2nd. Use caution. It can be deep sometimes depending on area and tide.
What top water baits do you suggest?
I like Heddon spooks and Skitterwalks
@@CaptCalebTV ok thank you so much
aren't the cuts where the water is actually draining back to the ocean mostly? The waves bring plenty of water on shore, but the holes in the sandbar act as drains to let it escape back to the sea? In other words, the places where you'd expect to find riptides if you were swimming?
They let water in or out, depending on which way the tide is going.
