Welcome to my channel! Hunting, fishing, camping, foraging, cooking... if you can find something to do outside, chances are you’ll eventually find a video about it right here!
Tried the garlic shrimp while I was at Cap J. Beach Marina two weeks ago, caught flathead, channel and blue cat up to 15 lbs, one rod broken, yellow perch found it tasty as well. Fish on brother
It's about 90% luck if you're using mono or fluoro leader for bluefish. They'll bite through 50lb leader just the same as 25lb. If you want to have a shot at some real giants, make stinger rigs with light wire and free line live spot around the docks in rudee. my biggest is 36" doing that
OMG...this was a GREAT video. It was a video truly of how it is in reality when people go fishing. I know when the fish break-off I curse and fuss too.
I've only been there that one time, myself, but fishing the points and dropoffs if you can this time of year. There are plenty of places to hit from shore if you don't have a kayak or small boat, too.
Am going to be at my friend's boat in Occoquan harbor in 6 days, the docks are always loaded with multi species. I use Hebrew National hot dogs for cats, biggest one was 12 and have been spooled twice. Back this year with heavier equip. See you on the water
I feel ya on the music, I dont think the fish like Celine Dion either lol. Nice vid! I gotta go hit up the occoquan one of these days soon with my fly rod. I assume its all sub-surface rigs or are you also throwing some topwater?
Wow brother, my teen years were spent renting a jonboat and fishing from Fountainhead, my good friend Tom and myself. Fished Burke lake and Manassas, the 70's were great. I'll holler when I'm back out there, live in south central Texas currently.
Awesome video! really enjoyed the laid back commentary. I have been 2-3 times to the Res and haven't been able to catch anything yet, looks like I need to go early and hit it with the spinnerbait! Did you go towards the dam in this video? Cheers!
Yeah, I headed towards the dam from Fountainhead. Next time I go, I might head up towards Bull Run... but it's hard to choose when there is such a LOT of water to cover using just a kayak haha.
Yeah, It's tidal all the way up to the dam that's right above those rocks. I'm not super experienced at fishing tidal waters, but I've been trying to use charts and things to learn more about how to fish it better.
Hey brother, my buddy has a boat in a slip near where you are fishing and my last time there was catching yellow perch, blue and channel cats and largemouth uo to 4 lbs. You are having a good day. be back out there in a month
I have been in some situations like that. Only for me it was on a bay in the salt, and wind(and some tide action) was the issue. I basically had to find a somewhat protected area and wait it out so that I wouldn't be blown miles and miles away from the launch area I needed to return to. Was one of those days when the forecast got it completely wrong. I hold a bigger respect for how those elements can ruin your day on a low power craft with limit thrust capabilities now.
Yeah, I've been caught in several crappy/dumb/idiot situations in the past, and I've been lucky enough to come away with some new knowledge and respect for how fast things can change, and how to adapt in the future. There are times when the best teacher in the entire world is failure.
It can get a little bit silly on the weekends, but It's still a great place to find them if you can get there during the week. I think it's going to be a good season.
Big, big thanks to you! You’ve made a very important point I was looking for, but wasn’t able to get in many videos. The majority of bloggers are focused on how to prepare a stuffing, but just running through the smoking process with sharing no details. Thanks fore smoking time and temperature regime.
Your in a olive boat, next to a brown bank, slightly tucked behind a major rock cliff on a slow bend in the river, in the major channel guys run to go up river. Go there this summer when the ski boats push 5’ wakes lol you will wish it was just jet boats running by you then
I will definitely be posting more crabbing videos this year. I've upgraded the camera situation (more than just the iPhone), and I have a lot of new areas that I plan to try out.
You should show you pulling up the crab traps instead of just telling us about it. Oh, I think we all came here to watch a crab video, not a turtle video.
I picked up on one mistake you made right away and that was with the venison you allowed a lot of venison blood into your mix when you had a chance to take it out in case you don't know it venison blood is one of the items that doesn't make venison taste good
I know they focus more on making it harder to puncture these than crush but say I had it strapped onto the top of my bag and it fell lose and hit the rocks. Would I have to worry about it breaking?
I'll go out on a limb and say that you'd actually have to try to get this thing to crack. Unless it's SUPER cold, or it somehow gets brittle, it'll stand up to pretty much any knock, bump, or smash you can throw at it.
