Men you're absolutely right, l have never met Bill before but when you watch his videos you can really tell that he knows what's up about fishing he's really loaded with insight.Go Bill.
feli931 So right buddy! This guy has taught me a lot about surf fishing in Montauk. I’m heading out with him again in early June. Can’t wait! Seriously that’s why I consider him the King when it comes to fishing those grounds. If your ever in area you should look into getting a guided trio with him. You would love the knowledge and put you on the fish. Thanks for responding buddy!
Bill Wetzel is legendary for alot of us who follow his videos. Your experience is exactly what I would expect no matter our own skill level elsewhere. Bill is Montauk nice tribute to him and his years of dedication showing others the way. True fish story - 2 nights ago I stop to get coffee on my way to the beach, opened the door to 711 realize Billy Joel is on the radio in the store. I left before the door even closed behind me. 1 fish that night thanks to Mr. Wetzel. Tight lines...
Thanks for that buddy! I love Surf fishing and montauk and of course Bill leading the way. I’ll be there this week Monday thru Friday and probably the last one this fall. Soon I’ll be in the rivers chasing them with bloodworms. Good luck and Im happy you enjoyed video!
@@MrPoseidonSays I have been fishing out there since 74.. Through the GREAT years. Tougher now and getting tougher. Yes, Bill is a throwback to the greats. Stay safe be careful.
Met Bill many times at Paulie's and in town. He teaches you whether you're paying him or not. Great guy, and high energy when it comes to surf fishing.
Yeah im definitely gonna sign up for a guiding trip this year with Bill. Prob right before the tournament you host down there. I'll be signing up for your tournament this year as well. Can't wait!
Was strongly considering hiring him for one of his sessions to take my fishing to the next level. Met and chatted with him a few years back at JSS Surf Day. After watching this, I will be calling and setting up an appointment later this year. Your enthusiasm for this guided trip is electric.
Bill is a wonderful person and a great leader in our fishery. You will enjoy your trip with him as well as pick up great knowledge. He taught me everything I know about surf fishing. Thank you and appreciate your comment. 💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
nice, ive surf fished montauk for close to 40 years seen bill on beach many times ,very skilled fisherman! as you feel more comfortable with your ability try fishing all the great areas motauk has to offer! good luck buddy!
jimmy dolly Thanks Jimmy it’s always nice to get a expert comment. I can’t wait to start season and promise to definitely take your suggestion! Thanks Jimmy 😁
Fantastic video. You have a new subscriber. I've listened to Bill speak 3 times at the Huntington Hilton. He is pretty awesome. Just listening those 3 times made me a better surf fisherman. Well done video, thank you.
Bill is the man bill can catch bass out of a puddle in the middle of time square not many fisherman like him that know the end like the back of there hand never got the opportunity to fish with him but on my bucket list great video brother good luck this season 🤙🏻🤙🏻 tight lines
Brooklyn Outdoorsman thanks buddy that was real nice. Will be making more vids again. Starting tomorrow morning I’ll be fishing again! Off for the week due to virus running wild. Off one week on the next. Thanks again!
Grew up in islip Grandpa lived in Montauk always fished plugs and poppers off the beach and rocks in montauk now I live in the Poconos catch fresh water stripers on Lake Wallenpaupack I was so suprised they had stripers in the mountain lakes thought My striper days where over .I do t catch montalk cows anymore but pretty big and fun . Now I use 17 pound fluorocarbon and a bait caster now instead of a 9 foot pole and 60 pound braid.
Yes I can recall also with my dad and montauk. Great days and great memories. Grandpa. Sounds like a true fisherman living in Montauk and you got to enjoy some great times. Poconos. Yes very relaxing and as I get up in age it’s what we look for most. Some relaxing and stress free times. Wish I was there the first time you hauled in a Striper in the poconos. Probably bought back some great memories of Long Island fishing. I chase Striper and all you did was move somewhere and they followed you. Awesome! Still feeling the cow when fishing with lighter tackle. Good story! Thanks truly for your support James. I’m glad you became a subscriber! Hopefully we will tell more fish stories this coming season. Thank you again! 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙
Sounds like you had a really great experience. Don’t ever look at bait fishing as a newb/beginner style tho! Just ask Crazy Alberto, 9 surf bass over 50lb mostly on bait. And Billy the Greek.
Joseph Bergen hey Joe. I know that for sure buddy! Bait is the real bait that hauls in the big loads! Thanks and hope to meet you on the surf one day! Way to go Joe!
My first trip with him was late May that first time. Best time for Montauk I would like to say is month of June. Late night fishing Stripers name of game. With Bill you will learn what you need to go out alone. Learn what tides to fish were. Know the surf so no issues arise meaning accidents. Just teach you the ropes on how to get around and teach you correct methods for getting up in those rocks on the south side. What ever your questions are he will answer. He made me the surf fisherman I am today. I always love learning new. I’m going out with him early June again. Pls subscribe to my channel. I also live stream with my wife on Sunday nights at 7pm. Glad you responded !
@@MrPoseidonSays I agree on all of that. I used to go out there in May and June in the late 80s and actually got to know Jack yee. This past year I finally went back in September and Oct. I plan on hitting there in May and June again. Great video and great job of showing how good a guide Bill is.
@@tommyo321 wow Jack Yee! Now that’s some cool info. I’ll mention you on my live stream tomorrow night. Thanks for the great compliments and hope to get to see you sometime on the surf! Bill also has the site surfratsball.com thanks again Thomas!
James Brown First off thanks for subscribing buddy! Second ya fellow beard guys have to stick together lol. Love the beard dude! Also you have subscribed at a great time. Next week well some time on the week end I will be having my first ever giveaway due to my first live stream. That’s why I haven’t posted in over 3 weeks. I’ve been doing MAJOR reconstruction on one of my bed rooms in home that’s free for use. It’s been a battle but I’m done. I’ll be having some nice giveaway prizes. Stay tuned for that next video. I’ll be telling all and at the same time a fast forward of all the work I’ve done on remodeling the new studio. Thanks again James for Subscribing to my channel buddy !!!
James Brown o yeah the rod. I love that rod. Lightweight and repaired now. It’s all good. I use that with my Van staal VR. It’s the lighter version but what a team they make. Super super light gear. Fish all day with that and I’m not feeling the weight!
Mikey DL hey Mikey. They just don’t catch them on lures here in these parts. Here now blood worms on and bunker on other. Just snapped up A 22 inch striper
Mr.Poseidon I never fished the Hudson but here in CT we are killing them in Any backwaters rivers and creeks for the past few weeks...stay safe and healthy !! And fish on !!
Hi buddy. Was just reading over some of my older comments. You mentioned about fishing rivers with lures. I wanted to come back and say, “ loved it “ I couldn’t believe in a time of spawn that these giant mommas are only hitting on lures! Thanks for that great comment for me as I now understand what you were talking about !!! Ty
I'm so sorry buddy . Most of video I texted. Was at the start of you tubing and hoping I am improving. Craig I am also having a live stream on Sunday the 14th eastern time at 10 30 am. Could use the support and I promise the music you hear in the back ground on live stream will be very low. Its also a drawing giveaway. See my latest video out just yesterday. leave a comment there subscribe and like show up at the live stream and your in! I have a low count on my subs so usually I get about 20 watching so its your best chance to win now that I have a low sub count. Good luck and again sorry
Not really sure what you mean by your comment but the rods you see in the room are brand new and so was the bailess Van Staal 250 reel which was about a month old. I partnered that with my 12 year old Lamiglas rod to get used to the bailess reel since I was going to be lure fishing. Over the few years fishing and watching You Tube for reviews, I now own 4 Legend rods which I think are the best on the market and a GSB Lamiglas also one of the best on the market (just my opinion) and let's not forget my Century rod, since I've been primarily lure fishing now. I owned a Penn reel and a Thunnus which were my go to reels back when I was bait fishing. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.
Hi John. I don’t own that. It was a giveaway on my show. “Let’s talk fishing” Sundays at 7pm ET. tomorrow’s is a 300 dollar voucher from AF Century Rods. Power house Rods that take a beating. Super stuff that can cast your heaviest lure with ease and power.
Kevin Biondo yea I think I was more paranoid about being out on the rocks like that. Now I’m jumping those rocks. Fishing right now as we Text. Hudson River. Staying out late tonight hoping to slap a biggie. The elusive striper baby!! That’s Kevin!
I’m sorry buddy. I try so hard averaging about 8 hours in edit time per video. Sometimes makes me almost want to quit. It’s hard to get the negative comments also but I have to say I appreciate it. Tell me what type I should add to these videos and I will add it on my next video this week. Tell me how you like it. I’d appreciate your say on it. So help me help you ok? Ty friend
I use to fish Matunck from the 70's to early 90's in the spring around the 15 of april to just before memorial day ....still have some pics from the 80's..
Not Off The Grid ! Gotta love pics that bring back great memories buddy. It’s great to reminisce on great times. I appreciate you sharing that. Feel free to show me some of those old pics. I always appreciate. Eric10983@Gmail.comThanks Mr poseidon
Damn it took 18 minutes for this guy to end his talk before he put action into fishing itself. Sigh no wonder why you need a guide to help you out with fishing using lures.
vsonic86 your right I definitely needed a guide. I’ll be live streaming in the next 2 weeks. Join me I’ll be giving away some nice prizes. If your a subscriber you are in for the drawing. I guess Thanks for the comment.
vsonic86 You are the man Vsonic! Thanks for subscribing. I’ve completed my Studio buddy. Like I said I will be live streaming soon. Watch out for my next video I will have details on my give aways/Prizes. Thanks again buddy!!
Mr Poseidon, he is a very god fishermen and fishing in long island is hard because you need very good gear, and need to be strong balance on rocks and Handel those waves. Bill wetzel isn't a guide just to tell you what lures to use, he is a friendly person who fishes with you and shows you the Technics of how to catch striped bass. Hopefully you go with him one times I have and I loved it. Hope you go with him.
Wow! Thanks so much. I’m honored!!
Thanks Bill for making me the surf fisherman I am today! See ya soon :})
I like how there is almost as much teaching as fishing. The fishing is for a few hours, the education lasts a lifetime.
Right on the money. Bill is always a class act and a great teacher. Thanks buddy !
