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.
“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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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!
@@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.
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.
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...
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!
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!!!!
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. 🤘
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!
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.
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
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 🔥🔥
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 !!!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
As a kid in the early '80s, I used to go fishing off Fort Mason on a regular basis catching mostly kingfishes rock cod, perches, etc., and safe to eat but the bay seem to get more polluted toward the 90s so I stopped fishing there...
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.
@@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!!
Brother...I'm gonna give you one piece of advice... Hook that engine kill switch to your jacket or wrist while the engine is on. Getting jettisoned from a boat only to watch it keep going directly away from you is horrifying....second only to watching it cut donuts right back over top of you to cut you to ribbons. Cheers. Love your videos
Maaaaaaan fugg that!!! I'm cool brotha I used to work on a shrimp boat in carquinez we stocked the shrimp and bullhead at the bait shops.. and when those swells start coming it's crazy...
This channel is so simple, without unnecessary flash, just a few timely edits. It's perfect for these kind of videos.

I haven't fished in years, but man, I'm gonna get out there this summer now!
You dropped one on the first pull. Looked like a jumbo. Great video Matt
Just saw that. Almost looked like it was hanging on to the side
2:23 that edit was SUPER clean
Risking your life for us is true dedication to your viewers. Thank you for the upload.

Haha. Seriously. I was rolling.
Beautiful- debatable!

Thank God for tiny lakes that barely get a foot in waves.
stay away from the Potato Patch
@@steveelder5306 Too late I'm invested in Spudnik
I watch videos about Haulover Inlet in Florida. The outgoing tide is opposite the wind direction too causing rough seas too
Thank God you are still using your boat instructing many, your like Jesus as you easily catch numerous fish. Your show is extraordinary.
You're living the life man, hope to do what you do someday
Looks like you’re loving life, great to see you doing what you love and so happy

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!!

See the notification immediately slides to watch the excitement of the fishing video, friends
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!
Love the fishing / crabbing in the Bay Area as well as seeing the beautiful city by the Bay.. Thank you for posting the videos.
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?
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.
I’m from the bay too. Thanks for bringing us along the bay!!
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.

Well I learned something. Thanks. But why is "Soft Shell Crab" sold as a delicacy as some restaurants?

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.
Awesome set up with the Gold Gate behind you.
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
Like and enjoy always, greetings from Germany to everyone 🍀👍🎣👍🍀
stay healthy and fit for fishing 🎣
Matts your vids get better and better! Thrilled your healing so quickly.
Much love and Blessings
In San Francisco "get away from these fairys/ferrys" LOL
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.
The view going under the GG bridge never gets old!
That one crab: aight imma head out
Was on Pacifica pier today. Only one keeper but man it was absolutely perfect!! Hot no wind crab coming up great day!!!
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.

Check out Mimi Fishfish videos, she is about your age and does some wonderful fishing videos.
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. 🤘
I live in SF and I have wondered whether going out in a small boat is even advised. This video answered my question.
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.

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!
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.
Very nice video and nice presentation of Whaly 370. Congrats from Spain.

Last week I stumbled across your channel and videos and got 'hooked'. Very informative and fun to watch. Keep the reels coming!
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
Great video. Good to see you out and about. Got my Yak loaded for tomorrow on the Gulf side of SWFL. Hoping for Pompany and or Trout or Mackerel.
Great video Matts! Very informational . And to think the butter boat was on sale!!!
Haha right. Luckily I kept it. Hope you can make it to the st fair!

Hello fisherman’s life! I love your content and I can’t wait for you to upload!!
I like your old style of fishing videos
Matts all boats that go out under the golden gate is bigger than that whaly. You are definitely living the YOLO life now 😂

Great halibut catch crab always taste good also love your video awesome coming from outdoors with Mike northern Alberta Canada
Fun video, Matts, thank you!

nice sea art in the park i hope i get to visit that someday
Looks awesome & fun as always
Lot of problems in CA, but a beautiful place it is indeed.
Love the Whaly! 🐳 Would be cool to put some graphics or lettering on your iconic boat, ie. the Butter Boat 🧈 and/or the Floating Avocado 🥑 lol
