    Selling hand made heavy duty crab snares as of 9/7/2016. They are 12.50 each, 2 for 24, 3 for 36, 4 for 45 and 5 for 55 shipped in the US. Email me at mattswithans@yahoo.com if you're interested. Looks like Dungeness season is scheduled to start on time this year.
    I explain how to use a swim bait, and how to rig it. Drove down to Pescadero and Pigeon Point in Nor-Cal to do some low tide fishing with swim baits. Caught my first Lingcod! So exciting to catch that guy, first of many I hope.
    For small tackle, clips, and hooks visit ebay.us/k0ZFGW for 15% off any order of $20!! They were kind enough to give this promotion to any viewer of this Channel. I'd recommend getting the following: #2 Barrel Swivel w/ Snaps (100pcs)[to attach swimbaits or crab snares], #2 Crane Barrel Swivel (100pcs) [for attaching fluorocarbon leaders], #2/0 or 3/0 Bait Holder (100pcs)[to attach to your leader as if going for stripers], and #1 Treble Hook (50pcs)[if you want to replace your lure hooks]. It should all come out to be $25.65 shipped if using the link above. Or $17.90 without the treble hooks. Should be a year+ supply depending on the amount of fishing you do. Enjoy!!

    Im a fisherman from Texas I just wanted to say you have probably the coolest personality of any of the fishing channels. You are also a channel I will watch with my nephew's because your clean for the family and that is rare. I also find your channel informative and make me want to fish more keep it up my friend you are an inspiration to all young anglers.

      I know what you mean. I just got back from a salmon fishing trip, and the assistants on the boat were telling me to take my time reeling in the salmon, and enjoy it like when having sex. Lol. Granted, there were no women on the boat, but still.

    i love your videos because you actually seem like a person instead of those other fishing channels which have supreme fishing gear and amazing everything which is really intimidating for someone who can only afford basics you make fishing easier to learn and a lot less intimidating so I feel really happy watching your videos because they're welcome for everyone to learn sea fishing and crabbing which has really helped me start fishing and now I love it I love your vids man. watching from the UK and a 13 year old at that

Hope you are staying safe and sane and getting ready to get back out there when we’re all allowed to again.

    I love San Fran. Haven't been in a couple of yrs. last time I was there however the food at the warf was bad and I threw it all away. I guess the weather is what I like most. I even like the fog. I ride over from Vallejo across the bay. I'd like to just go there and fish sometime but I don't know where to go. I'd like to just get on a plane and then rent a car and fish the rocks, man I like that lingcod you caught. I never have caught one. I fish here in so cal at Newport and San Diego once in a while. I like the twilight charters because there are fewer people on the boat. This is my wife's computer so her name is on at the bottom. I like all your videos and have seen them all I bet. I like the simple yet informative way you bring it all together. Also the cooking part always makes me hungry. A guy don't need no damn coating on his fresh fish I have learned that just simple an fried with butter and avacado works for me. Anyway amigo keep those videos rollin. Your friend j.R.

    Your friend's girlfriend is HILARIOUS, love her reaction and descriptions of that last ugly horny fish. Does she say "he's cute, I'm dumb" @ 10:24 ? She is NOT dumb, she's a crack-up.
    Mahalo for another fun video Matt, I've visited both places you went this day but never fished them, can't afford the non-resident license so just fish the piers for free.
    I think that first strange fish @ 7:21 is a immature Kelpfish (Heterostichus rostratus). Congrats on your very first Lingcod, VERY nice! My bro-in-law catches those in SF Bay from party boats I think fishing near Alcatraz. Aloha!

    Try a bobber and a bobber stopper and slide stopper up main line to the depth you want to fish and you wont be loosing any gear. your depth should be 2 or 3 foot off bottom as fish look up. I suggest 20 pound test line as lings can get huge, and rocks wont tear up your line so much.

    give spearfishing a try it's superior to rod and reel fishing and swimming in the ocean (seeing the ocean life and fish swim) is def more fun than just sitting there and waiting. I catch Lingcod all the time and big ones too.

      +brad Hamilton I would love to get into spearfishing. My friend has told me all about it. Much more efficient way of getting fish too and it must be a great experience. Going to look into getting some gear soon
