This channel is so simple, without unnecessary flash, just a few timely edits. It's perfect for these kind of videos. You're really relatable, knowledgeable, and you're easy to listen to. I haven't fished in years, but man, I'm gonna get out there this summer now!
I discovered your channel about two weeks ago and have watched nearly every one of your videos. I don't fish, but watching your videos sure makes me want to get out there. Much love and respect from just down the coast in Shell Beach...fish on! Let's go!!!
@@DG-kq8zf lol it sure is! I work from home and got Matt's videos playing in the background as I work. I've read several other people comment that he's the Bob Ross of fishing and I agree, there's something chill about his voice and delivery.
Im currently 14, obsessed with freshwater and saltwater fishing. I really want to get myself a nice boat, around 9ft long with a cabin so I can go fishing. I watch these "small boat fishing" videos imagining myself on these. You're living my dream. Keep going bro!
Yo Matt! I’m from Mill Valley and have spent years out in the water surfing…seeing your videos makes me miss home so much (in San Diego now) I miss going out to Bolinas and the Patch with all the homies on their boats…nothing beats what we have up there. I respect your grind, and really hope to see you out there one day. Keep on killing it brotha!! Yessssirr
I've watched almost all your videos and enjoyed them all, I like the fact that your videos are well edited and importantly you don't swear so it's kid friendly...My 8 year old son loves your channel as well and I don't have to worry about any foul language. Thank you and keep the videos going! Hope to get out to SF one day and bump into you on the water!
“San Francisco California, it’s a beautiful place although it is very expensive and there are a ton of rules I don’t really like”-That sums it up pretty well actually.
That gimbal gives us a lot more context into how how aggressive that water is! Always upping your cinematography game. Thanks for the great content, Matt!
Looks like a low swell weekend. Putting the gear together and going shore fishing in my favorite coves. 2 mile hike before dawn. Black and yellows and Cans up there. Love it...
Thanks for doing these types of videos. After seeing a similar video you did i started going out of fort bragg in an inflatable kayak. As long as you keep your witts about you its mostly safe. Happy fishing to all and to all a hard bite.
Hey matt!! I love all the videos. I'm a 12 year old fisherman from santa cruz and LA. Ive been watching your videos since i was about 8 or 9 and you got me hooked on fishing. I'm heading over to san fran from santa cruz for the street fair and I cant wait!!. Thnak you for all the amazing content and inspiring young fishermen like me!!!!
Terrific video! I fled San Francisco 25 years ago and am now in Alaska. But when I lived there I used to swim in the bay everyday. This video makes me really miss it. If you're going to fish and crab in the bay with a boat like that you better have a lot of experience and be a good swimmer.
@@1SeekTruth1 It's ridiculously stable, but you will get spray and mist over the bow. I paid About 7k for the boat, bow rails, and seat compartment, so it's similar to his set up.
Good pointers! Only thing I do differently in my craft is I use my gaff to grab the line under the bouy for the crab pots. That way I have control over it before I put the boat in neutral to retrieve.
Love your videos man! I live in Fremont, work in San Rafael, you got me into crab snaring early this year and I've been in Pacifica the past few weekends hooping and snaring on the pier for dungies. I know better than to drop a tax return on a tiny boat and give this a shot without any sea legs, but you make it look like a ton of fun!
Ok you guys are gonna think I'm crazy but that Halibut skin is beautiful... You need to halibut skin wrap your car, make halibut skin printed bandanas, ties, chuck Taylors , sun glasses frames, I would be at least one of each. California halibut skin ball cap. back pack, purses.. LEGENDARY... just sayin.
Awesome vid. In the northeast I have very good luck using strips of flounder belly. Try giving strips of halibut as bait if you ever run out of bait. 🤘
Mats I just want to say over the years I appreciate you trying little different editing styles (like the anchovie transition etc) ik some people don’t like it but as an editor who loves playing with vfx, I love seeing you try different stuff out. Keeps the videos fresh too. Tight lines!
the belly is also where you gaff them if you want the meat to spoil fast. soon as the stomach or intestines are ripped it starts to spoil, you eat them fast so it isn't a concern. if your not eating them that day clean them there.
With respect because I love your videos Matts. If the sailor is inexperienced, the gate is not somewhere anyone should go in a small boat. I would be very careful in giving this advice. When the tide is going out, it can be TREACHEROUS (in all sense of the word) trying to get through the gate. If you haven't experienced this phenomenon, you don't want to experience this in a tiny boat. The wind is heading the opposite direction of the tide during outgoing tide. The combination of opposing forces often develop huge and short waves. The chop will be overwhelming to a tiny and loaded boat. I would never try to go out or in during heavy winds and outgoing tide in a craft that size. You could get in REAL TROUBLE.
Gonna try and post a comment on time I love the bay I love how u fish there all the time I love to learn from you are like the best teacher thank you man gonna buy some merch soon
Been watching you regularly for a few years now. Really love watching this stuff. I'd love to see ya catch some Walleye sometime soon! Always a favorite of mine.
My buddy has a 14 ft aluminum boat we launch from Richmond. We can stay out till @3 hiding from wind behind brooks island, or the rock wall into the harbor. 3rd hook run a flasher a hoochie w hook and 2 on bait.
I missed fishing that SF bay and outside the gate. In your vid where you are showing setting up your pole near the bay bridge tower on the SF side, there is a hole there where I use to wireline troll for striped bass with hoochies on the bottom. Also outside the gate near mile rock, there is rock close to shore where you can fish for rockfish or blues mid-bottom.
That's what's up good timing on that one I could see white caps in the distance for awhile and I k ow you were focused I am the same way on the water the ocean is a gift that we all have to respect you always show respect in all your videos even when it gets personal you have my respect and I still hope one day you come up north to do some crabbing and fishing in Oregon southern oregon coast we got you covered !!! Tight lines !!!!
I won't be able to attend that event in August but hopefully in 2023! Love all your videos. Unfortunately I can't go on the ocean (motion sickness and tried just about everything to prevent that) but I do go to the eastern Sierra's. S.F. is about 500 miles from where I live but possibly meeting up with you in person will be worth the trip!
Man, if it is a softshell means that just molted. So they are filled mostly with water and poor muscle content since it just expanded to a bigger size from a smaller shell filling itself with water. Here in Spain we say that the crab is empty, in species from here you can tell if they molted recently by touching the tips of the marching legs to see if they bend or are hard. Maybe that works with dungeness.
Yeah, should always throw those back for dungeness, too. When they are soft like that, there's almost no meat in it and it can taste kind of like saltwater with some crab flavor. Kept one on accident once and learned the hard way.
@@dave-yj9mc That is because when it's soft you can fry and eat it whole, as long as i know it is made with the invassive green crab, carcinus maenas, which is so small that taking the meat of the body is a hellish work. But for dungeness and other big crabs is better to harvest the hardshells and take the meat from them. I may be wrong and it is made from other species...
From Daly City and just found your channel. I usually watch guys from south Florida, didn’t think to look for subscribers in the Bay lol anyway love the channel
Subbed, brother. I'm a soon-to-be new (and first time) small boat owner / aspiring fisherman. Nowhere near the ocean so lakes & rivers will be it for us, except for perhaps an annual trip. Just wanted to thank you for being a helpful source of information.
@@DentSideDee71 lol hell yeah imagine with the other Bay Area TH-camrs on the same/other boats and going against each other. The sea wolf vs the new huck finn. With the Bay Area youtubers!!
i like your pole for your go pro .it gives a awesome view of your boat.ive been trying to think of how to do the same or similar set up.can you tell me a little more about how you did it? 🐟
Another nice video 👍🎣 still waiting on you to try out that salted squid 🔥 cut up your desired size pieces and dap them with a paper towel to get out the moisture and leave em in a container of salt for about 2 days for best result and you will definitely notice the difference 🔥🔥
Hey buddy I'm in Frisco all the time working love your videos I unfortunately seem to always strike out while fishing out there maybe one of these day we can meet up and maybe you can show me the ropes.
What side motor bro..., last time I watch your vid with your inflatable boat so I bought a West marine rib 310 and pair with 6hp, very happy with that, lakes pond, small river she was the best🌝, but I really like Whally... she look sick .. 🤪
Hey Matt I have a 15’ Gregor with a 25HP Yamaha. I live in Humboldt County and have been wanting to take it down to SF Bay. I was curious what size Yamaha motor you have on 12 footer?
2:23 that edit was SUPER clean

It's such a blessin to have you take us on your adventures. Im glad you are ok now and fishing again . 🙏🙏🥰
Matt I love when you fish off your Whaly Thank you so much for the video! I’m glad to see your feeling much better after your surgery!!
Looks like you’re loving life, great to see you doing what you love and so happy
Thanks for doing these types of videos.

Happy fishing to all and to all a hard bite.
Love the fishing / crabbing in the Bay Area as well as seeing the beautiful city by the Bay.. Thank you for posting the videos.
Thank God you are still using your boat instructing many, your like Jesus as you easily catch numerous fish. Your show is extraordinary.
Awesome...You make it look so easy. The bay at San Fran is a monster if the tides are against you. You're an excellent angler. Thanks

Check out Mimi Fishfish videos, she is about your age and does some wonderful fishing videos.
Awesome set up with the Gold Gate behind you.
Thanks for taking us on your fishing adventures. Excellent content and editing.
Once again, a useful video. I have a crazy friend who kayaks around and under the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m sending him this video.
Terrific video! I fled San Francisco 25 years ago and am now in Alaska. But when I lived there I used to swim in the bay everyday. This video makes me really miss it. If you're going to fish and crab in the bay with a boat like that you better have a lot of experience and be a good swimmer.
Matts your vids get better and better! Thrilled your healing so quickly.
Much love and Blessings
You're living the life man, hope to do what you do someday
I just got a Whaly 370 last week. Thanks for inspiring me!
How does it handle rough weather? And how much you paid for the boat
@@1SeekTruth1 It's ridiculously stable, but you will get spray and mist over the bow. I paid About 7k for the boat, bow rails, and seat compartment, so it's similar to his set up.
Where did you buy the whaly from?
Bro not gonna lie, you're channel inspired me to move to the coast and even end up buying a little boat. Keep up the great work dude!
Hope to see you out there!
Good pointers! Only thing I do differently in my craft is I use my gaff to grab the line under the bouy for the crab pots. That way I have control over it before I put the boat in neutral to retrieve.
Very nice video and nice presentation of Whaly 370. Congrats from Spain.
Love your videos man!

nice video, i love seeing the bay. that beach just outside the bay past the bridge is one of the last places i went with my brother
That one crab that got away looked like a keeper!! You'll have to get him next time! Great video!!! (I just hit the subscribe button!)

I watch videos about Haulover Inlet in Florida. The outgoing tide is opposite the wind direction too causing rough seas too
