I've learned a ton watching you, and I'm probably old enough to be you're dad. Lol Keep up the great work.
I caught more fish this year than I ever have in the surf before. Thanks for helping me get away from store bought rigs, it paid off.
I caught my first two bull red fish today on pompanos rigs I tied, using fish bites. I doubled up with one on one rig and one on the other at the same time. One red was 40" the other was 37" . A fellow fisherman came along and helped me out. These were the largest fish I had ever caught
After watching you I decided to vacation in Pensacola. I also have caught my first two Pompano again on fish bites. one 16" and one 18".
Your enthusiasm has been catching..
I have tried natural bait, sand fleas and shrimp, but I have one caught fish on the hook with fish bites.
If there was a way to post a picture of the bull reds, I would.
Thanks for your videos, keep it up.
This is so awesome to hear! I’m glad some of the tips are paying off! If you check me out on Facebook (Bama Beach Bum) you can send me the pictures via message, or you can email them to me: matthewisbell6@gmail.com. I’d love to see them!
As a newbie , i find you are a wealth of information, probably for anyone who follows you. Coming down from the Canadian Atlantic shores and spending the winter months along your shores and in Texas. Thanks a million.
Best tutorial on making rigs I have ever seen. Well presented and easy to learn from. Thank you for your patient explanations and for taking the time to teach us beginners how to succeed in fishing.
Love your videos! I'm a senior citizen living in florida and kayak fish alot but going to Atlantic Beach, NC this summer and plan on doing some surf fishing. Find your videos fun to watch and full of knowledge. Love your attitude and personality. I know it would be a blast to fish with you! Thanks for all the information! God bless ya!
Thank you for this video! I know its a couple years old but I tied my first rig today watching this and landed my first bull red! Much appreciated
Great video, thank you. I'm used to beach fishing in England, so I have been over thinking my rigs. I clearly need to go back to basics.
Very informative! Just learning and this helped tremendously. Thanks
With a wife & 3 kids who love to dock fish for pinfish, I had to learn to tie my own rigs too. I've learned with them that the simpler and less parts involved, the easier it is on my wallet haha
THANK YOU! I just got back from OBX and made my own pompano rigs instead of using those wire ones you get at the tackle shops. It was easy following your video...and they worked great! And I made my own 'flip flop floats' I saw on Salt Strong's channel. And this was the first time I used 1/0 in-line circle hooks. They worked flawlessly. Thanks again...love your enthusiasm - keep up the great work!
By the way, I didn't buy any shrimp or squid this year, just Fishbites and caught red and black drum, whiting and lots of pompano!
Hope you and your friends survived the hurricanes these past few weeks...
I would like this a thousand times if I could. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Thanks for the help . Your way of doing it is so much easier.
I like the fact that u dont withhold info like alot of other sel"fish" ppl out there! Thx man!
U and senko skipper are the helpful ones
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! Ty Ty!
very clear straight forward video. Well done BBB !!
Caught 2 keeper pompano from shore in orange beach today... your videos really help with tips
That’s so great! Thank you for sharing! Stay Bummy!
Watching this makes me so ready to get back after them, nice video as always man! 🙌🏽
Thanks dude, I’m glad yesterday didn’t discourage you too much! Lol
Very informative yet so simple, thanks man!!!
Tied my 1st pomp rigs today, thanks Matthew. Using a ring LED light that you can clamp to a table that also has the magnifying glass in the center is a big help if you have bad eyes.
Were going soon and this will be so helpful. Thank you!
Great easy video for my simple mind. I do like the first way to attact the hook so I can change hook size/style easy if needed. Thanks
AWESOME rig presentation thanks a million buddy 💪👌👍
Thanks for this video!!! I’ve been trying to learn how to do this myself for a while and you’ve made it so clear and easy. Just subscribed and I will continue to watch your videos.
Awesome! Glad it helped! And I’m glad to have you on board!
Thank you for this, I'll be trying this out for sure.
Dude, I can't get enough of your videos, I love them! Keep em' coming! I'm planning a trip to Cape Outlook in the outer Banks early summer and that is prime time for sea mullet (whiting) and I think pomps will be active too. I just made my first attempt at tying your pompano rig and it's not pretty. My starting measurements that I based on your specs didn't turn out to be the target length, I couldn't find the floats at Bass Pro, I got the 30 lb fluoro (I might use the 20 lb mono on the next one), but I think it might still work. I'm sure I'll get better the more I do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
rockislandsportsgov.com - less than $15 for 100 pieces of 3/4 " floats, including shipping!
Thanks, that was easy-er than I thought.Will now tie my own.
I enjoy your videos my friend! Keep’m coming!
Thanks, watched when I first started and just checking back.
Thanks brother, very informative, and helpful
You should do more of these tutorials. It wold be great content. Knots, leaders, leader to braid, Kayak tips etc. Great stuff.
Caught my first pompano on this rig and loads of other fish as well. Thanks 🤙
Thank you brother , this helped me alot today .
Fantastic! Thanks so much....! From a Northerner.
Thank you
You made it look easy!
I’ve watched plenty of these pompano vids and yours is the only one that made sense
The way you explained the dropper loop was way easier than the other video I watched. There’s a different way to explain everything pretty much.
Love that I’m just getting started at this great video thanks
You are my hero, dude. Seriously
Im a beach bum. It comes with living in florida. I love it.🤪 From one beach bum to another, i subbed 🤙
thank you so much! so easy to understand. helped alot!
Good stuff man! Thanx for the ideas.
i know your video was not about how to tie dropper loops specifically.. I have watched several videos on how to make dropper loops..the way you tied them is so much easier for me to follow
Thanks for the video! Well done.
Nice video great breakdown of the rig
Found it! Enjoyed the video!! Thanks!!
Thanks man...
Took a minute but I got it..
Great vid
Beads are cheaper at hobby or craft store, any color you want. I bought chartreuse 500 for $3 and some change
Like what store for example? New here in America.
@@ralph7077 Hobby Lobby or Michael's or many other craft stores
U812GREEN thank you!!
Dude that is a good hot tip!
Does the color of the beads scare the fish, should I be worried about that?
Thank you so much that was perfect!!!!!
Me ans Scott are going out in the morning so i'm watching this right now! 😂
Super easy. Thanks
Congratulations good program.
Thanks dude I’m 12 and going to gulf shores this summer and I’m going to go fishing
Great video! Thank you!!!
I sir have been educated again. Great video.
nice video man. really like to use those dropper rigs on surfcasting: always catches so many species of fish on a great day haha
Yes I’ve caught countless species on this rig
Very informative. Looking good. Need to see the water and the beach missing home bad!!! Roll Tide!!!
Come on down! And War Eagle!
Excellent over the shoulder video so one can follow along easily. Thank you very much for explaining the line weight, hook sizes. All of it. Awesome!!!
Great tip thanks
Brother, thanks for another great video. How do you jig that setup?
Great tutorial, I can tie my own rigs now and don't have to waste my money buying rigs now. I bet this would work as a catfish rig with the float to keep it off the bottom where you get snagged a lot.
great video thanks!!!!!
Well done!!
Great information Thank you…did you make your own floats?
you should get together woth Joe and Luke with the salt strong. They put together a beach fishing eductional video but the guy doing it was to area specific and alot of people did not get alot out of it. I like your videos. The casting out at different distances, looking for different structure, tackle tips, bait tips ... learned alot thanks.

Bama Beach Bum very nice video I read through the comments and I haven't noticed any mention of the size and type of hook you are putting on this drop ring? I was going to tie a few but didn't want to tie with the wrong size hook, lol, again thanks a lot for the excellent video and Merry Christmas from Cape Canaveral Florida......cheers
Awesome Video
Love this video. Where to get the small floats?
Super helpful ,thoroughly enjoy your channel.
Used them this past week in Santa Rosa beach and caught a ton of pompano
Good stuff very nice
Nice video. One question. What type of weight do you use (e.g. egg sinker, bank sinker, pyramid sinker, etc.) and what weight and where do you tie weight? I assume, I assume at the bottom below the hooks.
Not trying to be a know-it-all, because I didn't know how to tie it. But I went looking for a polymer knot. It's a Palomar knot. Thanks for teaching me how to tie this.
Thanks man🇺🇸
Great video. Ive seen some where people doing it so fast you cant tell what they're doing or have i white backround so definately cant tell
I've bought one premade rig from the store (Walmart) and that was my Pompano rig. It's lasted me since November and it's still going strong lol. It's got the croaker (Kahle) hooks on it. I can't count the Pompano and whiting I've hooked on that rig. I'll use it till it breaks then tie my own.
Very nice! It’s cool it has lasted you this long!
Great video
Thank you!
of Brazil
Love it!!!
Hope it helps!
Well a pyramid sinker do as well? Thanks for the vid!
You are the God of money
GOOD VIDEO
How do you get the line into the smaller #2 hooks? I use 20# and can not for the life of me get them to go into the eye sometimes. Drives me insane fighting that loop haha. I tie all my rigs but I'm baffled how they get those tiny hooks on 20# line. Love the videos btw keep em rolling !
Have you tried cutting part of the dropper loop near the knot to produce a single drop line? It seems the single line would be less visible to fish that might be leader shy. Thanks for your videos; I've learned a lot from you!
done it both ways....my opinion, makes no difference....other then you have to be careful the single line isn't to long or it will wrap around the main leader line....if your using 20# test.....He catches lots of fish so I guess we can say that speaks for itself....If your down in the Florida keys on a dead calm, gin clean water day..then I think tackle could be an issue....
Hi beach bum my name is David Brown I go down to Florida for 2 to 3 weeks every Christmas looking to get into Surf fishing for the first time what would you recommend for gear pole and real been watching a lot of your videos and obviously you’ve been doing this for a long time I’m just starting out
I could only find orange floats locally, so I "cored" some foam (the rubbery stuff, not the poly) with a 3/8" pipe, sharpened around the edges. - clipped the pieces so they were about the size of a mini marshmallow, strung them up on a long piece of #12 wire, sprayed them neon, and had more floats than I will need for 5 seasons. Haven't been often enough to seriously stress test the hand-tied rigs, but I'll keep throwing them.
Sounds like a good plan to me!
rockislandsportsgov.com - 100 pieces of 3/4" floats for less than $15, including shipping.
Hey Bum,recommend a good surf rod and reel set up that won't break the bank. For a beginner.
Matt how do you store those in your taco bag or tacklebox
What size and brand circle hook do you recommend? Thank you.
I just put a double overhand loop knot in on the bottom and feed it through the pyramids for easy change out instead of using a snap-on swivel.
I have lots of structure in one of the park beaches that I frequent near me so it sometimes help when I have to yank the rig out so I at least get some of my tackle back. I also use double overhand knots on the two hook rigs but I like that knot you showed which seems more reliable as sometimes they tend to slip so the float, bead and hook all end up at the line.
I'm going to give that one a try. Great video, thanks!
Yes I see a lot of guys just using the loop knot on bottom for the pyramid, I just feel better about having the swivel for some reason.
Do you commonly have problems with your drops get tangled on leader? I know some guys use T knots to avoid this but I like your way of doing it more.. just curious.
What knot do you prefer to use when tying your mono to your braid?
Matt, the end you cut off. How do you attach that to your line?
Great and very informative video! I'm tieing all my rigs for a trip coming up and I was curious if you found that the floats help on both dropper loops or more so on the bottom dropper loop to keep the crabs from having an all you can eat buffet! I have also been in between 20lb & 30lb test as far as presenting bait goes or do you think that would be more due to strength of the current? Thanks for all the awesome videos!
20lb mono or 30lb fluorocarbon. Floats do help keep the bottom hook off the sea floor, so that's not a bad idea at all.
Where do you find the small barrell floats?
I use a different rig due to the fact that I want to remove/replace hooks. It's called a "Mortician Rig". The knots I use are Figure eight knots (loop on end and standard in middle) and noknot knot for snelling the hooks (snell is recommended for circle hooks).
It works great when the blue fish bite off the hook, just replace the missing hook in seconds. I have used them with three hooks. That's when replacing a hook in seconds pays off. blue fish can be annoying sometimes.
Give it a try - it cast great and helps remove twist due to way the hooks are attached.
yeah...nice rig but a bit of work to make I think...I use the board method...is one better then the other..I don't know
Will this be good for whiting? With smaller line and tackle of course? What size line would you use for whiting?
If you had to choose just 2 colors of beads to have to tie rigs what would they be? Also how often do you use a float?
How long do you make your rigs generally? What pounds test do you use?
I never used the floats. Does having them do anything other than keep your bait in a separate water column?
