- Caught a bunch of molting sand crabs (soft shell sand crabs) yesterday. Kept them in the refrigerator for the next day and went fishing for striped bass and perch. Caught a bunch of smelt along the way, tried three fishing spots and finally landed on a good little spot with lots of fish.

Been watching these vids since the beginning. Cool to see you progress with your energy as a youtube personality. Love that there is no annoying music all the time or hyper active in your face commentary. Just straight fishing and to the point tips and tricks. Thanks for all your hard work.
yeah, he's no bullshit, get to the point right away....there is another youtuber who fakes excitement and laughter all them...."oh there is a sea weed...hahahahahahahahha...wowowowowo...." come on...but matts is normal
bonzo230 that about sums it up for me too man , well said brother. Cheers
Good radio voice.
lol i hate some of the way these youtubers go "HELLOO TH-cam" in a fake ass cringey way lol ...
@@chronicawareness9986 you can thank america for that.
ive been waiting 2 weeks for this yaaaas
I like that you showed an area that wasn't working first and then finding a hole at another beach. I never thought of this and know I'll know forever. It makes sense, go where the waves aren't breaking.
Awesome.
So excited for your new vids. Started watching you because i dont have the luxury of a boat so your vids showed whats possible from the shore
i enjoy the boat vids but so happy youre still doing shore fishing too
dude this video bring me a lot of memories from my childhood
when I was a kid my family had a house in the beach and we fishing there daily
I discover these sandcrabs one day and I tried to use them as a bait but I never catch a fish with them
watching this video makes me realize why, I always killed them before using them as a bait lol
now I kinda want to go fishing and try again but its really far from where I live house and I don't have car
anyway, thank you for the video. I've always liked your content bro, keep it up! Fishing 4 life
When I was a kid I used to dig my hands in the sand and catch those sand fleas. Now that I'm a fisherman, it's good to know they work as bait! Thanks for the tips and great content
More and more, Matts is starting to sound just like Daniel: "Ohhhh baby!" "Letz go!"
I'm on the east coast and I know the sand crabs have different names wherever you may come from but we call them sand fleas and I've have found out if you hook them towards their back side ( middle ) they fish better, we fish with them for pompano, red drum, black drum, sheepshead there's so many fish that will eat them. Larry
I also know them as sand fleas, but wow, never seen any that big! The ones I know are really small.
They are big out here in California hence the name sand crabs.
Yep Larry , here on the Right Coast they are Sand flee . I was in Caly for a bit an was told Lobster ( lobsta ) don't have claws , since then I don't listen to Left coast fishermen
Larry Sowada im a east coaster to and we call them sand fleas too
We have sand fleas witch are about the size of dog fleas and also sand crabs these that he is using are about the size of a silver dollar in from Oregon
Dude I love your vids. I always was open to trying new experiences, but ever since I started watching your videos, my interest in fishing grew even bigger. I already was fascinated and intrigued by the outdoors and wildlife and fishing, but watching your videos is amazing! You truly are an amazing inspiration bro, I hope to learn how to fish like you 😅😅😅. That's what I just really want to do
BazuluWolf let's be real. You're going to go back to playing games and sitting indoors after you write this comment lol.
Strange 7s well why do you think I wrote this comment dummy? Cause I'm sick of doing just that. Being in the outdoors is my passion. I never get to go anywhere though. I don't even know how to fish, but that's one of my passions as I was always interested in it as a kid. How do you expect me to do something I want to do when no one else wants to do it?
BazuluWolf I say if your old enough with a driver license then just drive out there and fish, best way to learn is to go and do it. You would be surprised how many tips u will get from local fishermen's.
NoSkilljutsu oh I know. Last time I went fishing was when I was 8 with my mom, and a bunch of local fishermen where there, and boy did they gave us a bunch of tips. I was doing a bunch of things wrong 😂😂 but yeah, they ended up catching a brown bass for me and decided to give it to us because I didn't catch anything. and yeah I agree, I don't think there's anything better than learning yourself and from the help of other people. I mean, I'm not far from getting a license but, when I do I'll go do just that.
So what’s up ? It’s been 5 years already, how’s the fishing life been ?
Been following your guides for fishing from rivers to the ocean. I've landed alot if fish species that I have no experience in. Thanks for the info and 🎏 on.
I really appreciate the way you edit yourself walking to and from locations
I’ll try this out in IB beach. Thank you 🙏 I have been Spearfishing for years now and need to get into pole fishing again 🎣
Yesterday caught a 21 inch striped bass using a hard shell sand crab (couldn't find many soft shell) at Ocean Beach. Followed your method of hooking the sand crab at the butt away from the spine so it was alive and kicking. I used a hi-low rig, but for my sinker I used a 2 ounce Kastmaster with a bucktail. That way I could do both bait and lure fishing. Caught the striped bass on a size 4 hook. Followed your method of using a 30lb leader ... didn't get a single tangle ... fished for a couple of hours ... using Celilo 9ft spinning rod (PK's recommendation) that can only take up to 2 ounces ... really light tackle .... thanks for your advice ... great video :)
"Oooh, a piece o' candy!"
"Oooh, a soft-shelled sand crab!"
This was a helpful video. I've been a trout and bass fisherman all my life and the ocean is a mystery to me. Describing how to read structure and holes was a huge help. Thanks
Love your content. The way you fish, and how calm you are is so satisfying to watch, and you even teach how to fish too!! Love your catch and cook videos. I even got interested in fishing myself because of your videos, KEEP IT UP! P.S Im about to buy yo new merch ;).
LOL at all the smelts haha, and niceee catch on the striper!!!
I'm telling ya, if you catch a jacksmelt that has zero (or next to zero) worms. Cook that sucker up. They get a bad rap but are a delicious oily fish. I bet you could figure out some tasty recipes!
I personally do not eat fish. Personally can not stand the taste.
Why are smelts bad? Bad taste? bones?
Do a camping video again please
Spencer Williams that's the next one!
Yes! Waiting. :p
yayy!
200th like
@@goodguytoxic4817 get a life
I got hooked on to your channel 2 weeks ago and i've already completed watching all your videos (131 videos).. My 7 yr old son likes watching your catch and cook and camp videos.. You are too good!!! I live in San Jose and i feel like taking up fishing now!!!
Great tip about the heavier leader.
I'm going to switch to a heavy leader now✓
Thanks!
Just to let you know, because those sand fleas do have somewhat of an exoskeleton it should be an invertebrate (no spine). So you should be good to stab it str8 through the back.
Yes towards the thicker head part and center is where their scent tube runs
Can't wait to see you Matts! My little brothers don't know I'm taking them lol I wonder how they will react when we go lol. Nice video! Matt's!
Dude hell yeah. See you guys there!!!
Wow this is an awesome surprise! I wish my husband would take me
Israel Rivas
Wayne Tucker yes
I love how excited you got over finding sand crabs 😂
Just found your channel and enjoy it. Keep up the good work. From Pittsburgh Pa.
Great advice about keeping the line tight seems like my lines always getting tossed back to me
Nice fishing love it
Glad I stayed up for this.
found this channel a few days ago, glad i found it
On the east coast (FL)we call them sand fleas. Good for catching Whiting, Pompano and Sheepshead.
Imo the dead fish appeared to be a skate . Thanks for sharing brother. Love your videos.
yeah thats what i was thinking..
DING DING DING!!!!! You are a WINNER!!!
There are actually sturgeon that live in saltwater.
I thought it was a remora
looked like the head of a Sea Robin
I stayed home from school cause I'm sick and I brought the toaster in my room and bread and ate toasted bread while watching fisherman's life is the way to go
And get the butter with the cinnamon and sugar
No actually I'm not rich
Toasted bread? Or just toast lol
I'm a recent subscriber and I've been catching up on your past videos... All have been very enjoyable to watch, but after a week, I have eaten all the groceries in the house! I need to run to the store right now, and I can't wait to get back so I can watch more of your content! ;P
I was born and raised in northern cali..Mendocino and the bay area..its awesome to see someone doing things i used to do..i live in texas now and miss it out there..especially ab diving..my dad still lives in graton near Sebastopol.. Ill definitely come by outdoor pro shop next time i visit..love the videos..thankyou
Sturgeons migrate through the ocean (believe it or not) ... they've tagged sturgeon from the Delta and some time later found then up in Oregon and vice/versa ...
U lucky bro we in NJ keeper have to be 28 second fish 43"
I live in NJ as well. Never kept one i heard they're good eating though
Matt’s, I recently vacationed at Nags Head , outer banks in NC...I can’t tell you how bad I wish I had the gear to fish while we were at the beach! Especially since I knew how to look for and catch those sand crab, thanks to You!!!!
Incredible *Fish* Congratulations Fisherman!😊👍🎣🐟
No cooking 😭
09nathan07 i wuld be eating something while i watch it 😂 omg i goy 25 likes for this comment👊 thanks all. See how much all wants to see cooking 👌
I wuz like 57.
Jahee thank👊 see how much all wants cooking
I was expecting cooking so it got me hungry to begin with.. But then no cooking, that just made me hangry.
Amazonia u shuld do catch nd cook on ur channel. 👍
been waiting for a new video.. love your vids mate
btw hi from Australia
It's always interesting seeing what people call things where they're from. We always called the soft shell sand crabs "sand fleas" in North Carolina
Very cool - almost felt I was actually out there! Learned a lot too! Surf fishing is my favorite kind of fishing!
Yay!👏❤️
June 9th coming soon!
I’ll be there
These videos are like therapy for me i love the relaxing feel of this channel i also love it when he cooks this channel is awesome 👏
I love your videos start posting more u remind me of my father he died a while ago in a boating accident and u look just like him put post more please
I have been keeping log all year for my striper fishing(mostly delta trolling and bait drifting) and I have been doing best on sandbars at low tide. Over 75% of my fish over 20” and all of my fish over 30” have been 5-12’ of water at low tide on sandbars or in between sandbars and deep water(sandbars at drop offs).im a firm believer in fishing tides on the delta but even with tides you have to consider the moon lol a full moon can turn the day time bite off in the spring due to spawning,but a sandbar at low tide on a full moon at nite... holly shit! Lol best fishing of my life!!!
BilyBOY! : ] that some sound advice. I've watched even in the fresh water, the sonluar tables in some of the fishin mags depict best fishing times per the moon phase and peak feeding times. And they definitely are solid.
Sandcrab -“ ouch! That hurt! What happened?!” ...lil dude just got a hook stabbed through him lmfao
i don't think they feel pain actually
PissAllOverMyAnusWhileMaintainingProperHomeostasis anything that has a brain feels pain
@@naiire_ I don't think so man
@@ChapuleTaylor Then why does it squirm when stabbed?
@@mortvald It senses that it's being stabbed so it squirms but it doesn't feel pain like we do
Great video as always man! Looking forward to the meet up!
That's what I do. I write down the tides, wind speed and direction, And the time before or after high tide. I also note striper size and what bait or lure I used. I'm also new at bucktail fishing with limited luck last year. I have a lot more luck when chunking mackerel or bunker. Thanks for sharing, bro!
Dude:
You are a very entertaining guy to watch and a good fisherman, no doubt; BUT could you be a little more careful releasing the unwanted fish you have caught, esp. the smelt? Tossing the smelt in the air and having them hit 1 inch water or just wet sand in the wash, will probably kill them, if not now then in a few hours.
It is always good to show some respect to the fish you catch even if they are "By-catch". You do a good job on your videos, try to teach people also to respect the sea and the creatures in it. Best regards from NY
Those were some beautiful stripers you nailed there! Softshells are one of those baits that are so effective yet absolutely miserable to keep on the hook (if it even stays on the hook during the initial cast!). I know it's probably overkill but have you ever seen anybody use magic thread to keep a softie on the hook? I guess if you're on a beach crawling with them it doesn't matter... but it might help if you're using them in a place where you can't replenish your stock.
Also if you have time this month before the season closes, you should revisit that hole @12:15. The shallow area next to the hole (and stretching down a couple blocks), in front of the rip, is crawling with dungies right now on the incoming and they're there for the pickin' 😉 Tight lines out there!
I've never seen anyone use magic thread with soft shell sand crabs. It probably would work but it would smush it to a ball which might not matter... They stay on the hook just fine for me until they get stolen. One of my friends casts kind of abruptly and that little jolt can knock them right off. Or if your leader is long and it gets Dragged In The Water as you cast that'll pull them right off too from the water tension. Got to have a smooth strong cast, keep them up, and they should stay on just fine.
I'll check that spot out for dungy's. Even the whole I was fishing had a few so a snare wouldn't be a bad idea not much current in there either
Ahhh you're right the thread would likely act like a vice on the softies. I'll take your advice and play around with my leader length a bit and I _definitely_ need to work on smoother casting with a lighter setup. I'm so used to bombing snares or even hi/lo's with 6oz for rockfish that I often overdo it when on the beach.
Hey P, you made to one of Matts videos 😀, that is super cool. Still having fun catching dungies by hand during low tide ? Crab snaring have been slow for me so I might try catching them by hand this Friday.
a bait button will work
Striper season is starting to heat up all over so you can explore beaches from Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, and Ocean Beach in SF and have a solid chance to hooking into a striper. All depends how far you're willing to driving and how long you wanna put in at the beach.
Hahaha listening to your succes rants when finding sand crabs is comic gold :D made my day
Bought one of your fisherman’s life long sleeve shirts for my dad for Father’s Day. We’re going up to Alaska to go halibut and salmon fishing for the 4th. So the gift is perfect timing. My dads from India and we’re watching the videos you make in California in Minnesota getting ready for our trip to Alaska!!! How do you like change that 😂😂 You were outta the butter t shirts so if you make more we will definitely get them. Thanks for the upload from two grateful Minnesotans!
9:27 idk why i laughed s hard omfg xD
Where have you been
10:14 😂 "nooo don't put me in the crab snare!". Good tips, great video.
dude you're one of the best fisherman to teach us what and how to, you make it so easy. thank you
Will you have stickers too for free or for sale?? I really want one i will definitely be the on the 9th
yep ill have stickers and decals too!
I like his voice. He sounds like a character in a cartoon
you guys have so many species there, looks so fun for fishing, love your vids
Thanks for the uploads! Huge fan!
The carcass looks like a skate..
Yeah,could have been,with the wings eaten off
It’s probably a sea robin see them all the time in RI like that
Damn those are some FAT soft shells. Why don’t they have better softshell sandcrab plastics?!... and shoutout to P! Lol
omg I look so old 😭 growing that beard really did me in lol
I love your videos, they really make me want to get back out there and start fishing again but health circumstances stop me right now, i guess i have to make do watching these, keep it up!
Very informative detailed well explained video. I particular like the info on spotting holes. Can't wait to show it to my nieces and nephews. There's nothing more I could tell them. I truly enjoyed it. Especially now the last week of January. I'm hooked!
Striper tastes good when baked. Still fishy tasting but it's good.
xxl t-shirts?
John Kearns xxxl
I love you're fishing routine Fisherman's Life I think it's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
I used to love to catch sand crabs when I was a kid 🦐🦐🦐🦐
Can you imagine how many times this guy has had to walk to a perfect spot, set up a camera, walk back, then walk across the camera, then come back to pick the camera.... and do it all over again.
survivorman style.
Why are you posting at 1:08 am
depending on his connection it takes a long time to post, he probably started it at 10 pm
Connor Byrd and time zones are different
M.Scotty. P yeah I know but it was still night time for most people around the world
Strippers.. . The crack of the ocean.😁
Totally enjoy your vlog man ....it's inspired me to want to get out there and fish!
You literally do the same thing I did every week lol I grew fishing all over socal. Love your vids.
Just a little bit of butter.......lol
The Fishing Experience he shoulda rubbed some butter on the sand crab to get a bigger striper 😂
“There’s its spine”
ITS A CRUSTACEAN IT DOES NOT HAVE A SPINE
Invertebrate.
Will try your technique in Huntington Beach, CA tomorrow. Great fun video dude!!!
Always looking forward to see your videos bro! ✌️
"That's a keeper!" Doesn't keep it.
ik like wtf
Awwwww no butter?
i think he knows that too much butter is not good for his health.
Joseph Saeteurn are you on the right channel?? Wow🙄
Yes. 👍 I always look forward to your videos!
Insanely informative for a beginner! Thank you.
Dammit I would’ve been first but my fingered slipped and I clicked another vid 😡
Yes, be careful not to hook that INVERTEBRATE through his SPINE lmao
spacekrill lol I hit the joke , it was funny
@@prshr6145 wtf dude that so fucking meme why would you hit a joke
Organic fishing; catch your bait right where the fish are, can't beat it! I do the same; I've been using a pyramid fishing weight, this keeps the line from rolling in with the waves. Strong work!
Matt your funny 😄 “oh look at me I must look stupid running around” hehe
Great video man. Thanks for explaining on how to read the waves breakage and be able to find a pool. I did not know that until now
Hey man I absolutely love the vids keep it up love the catch camp and cooks exspesioly so can’t wait for the next one keep it up c u in the next one
Another great vid! I like that tip on the heavier leader...I always have that problem of my line wrapping up on the sinker..NO MORE! THX!
Just caught my first cabezon last weekend. Good to see your new video pop up again. shore-based episodes are fun.
You seem allot happier and confident in this video! It’s great to see you found your passion :) @fishermanlife
Been subscribed since you only had about 6k subs. Great to see the channel grow so much. Bummed I’m going to have to miss the meet up this weekend.
Fishing with sand fleas are my favorite!
Hell yeah! I was wondering when we'd get another upload.
M W Sudziarski
Sand fleas, mole crabs same thing, I’ve been fishing the suds for more then 50 + Year’s and I’ve lived in Md all my life
Nice video, I’m a beginner angler and is nice to see that having a bad day (no catch) is normal!
I love your vids man, woot wot finally got another vid!
I'm on the coast in southern California and I use these almost every day as long as they are around. I catch corbina, spot fins, bass, leopard sharks, guitar fish, sting rays, and a few I'm forgetting.
I'm from that area before moving to Texas. Sharp Park, Ocean Beach, all along the coastline. Thanks for giving me a little taste of great surf fishing!
Nice! Striped bass are one of my personal favorites to catch. My record in Baker Beach is 37.5 inches, my current record for the season is 29.
Great video and THANKS for the explanations, it helps me understand the surf fishing dynamics at play.
I used these for bait in Malibu beach area, I caught about 8 perch within an hour period pretty exciting actually. My friend and his dad also caught a few, ended up tasting really good.
