Something felt different about this episode and I liked it a lot! Seeing how you try to figure out and capitalise on differing conditions is very entertaining and informative.
I love how you're turning and explaining everything to a bird/drone (pick one or the other). Makes me, a bird, extra excited to be watching it and feel included
The way you incorporate SF and NorCal into your stories the way you do, from the perspective of an angler, it makes me miss and reminisce the Bay Area a ton. Thanks for the work you do man.
Slowly but surely you are becoming my favorite outdoors RU-vid channel! I started my RU-vid channel a year ago and I can say I can appreciate the work you’re putting into these videos! People think it’s just go out, fish, record and post it! ITS NOT! 😂 it takes some skills to edit a video the way you do! Great content, great video and great attitude 🙏
Yeah I can't imagine how busy he must be. Not only shooting videos, but he also has to plan the trip, do collaborations, drive, maintain the boats/equipment, he also has a line of fishing lures. I bet this guy doesnt sleep
I've been watching and a suscriber for a couple years. You are killing it. You keep getting better! I've never seen footage from outside this part of San Francisco, and never seen footage so close of the fog horn. And I learned why, because of conditions. Famously there are several shipwrecks there, they stick out a bit at very low tides and can be seen from the old Sutro Cliff Steam Line, the old railroad trail from Sutro Baths to the Leigion of Honor. Very cool footage of a very interesting and dangerous part of coastal San Francisco. This is to say: you are more than just a talented local fisherman with a stick of butter and a go-pro. You find other levels, angles, and opportunities for very generous offerings, and somehow offer a reflection on life, maybe by just being real. I don't know what makes you work, but you work great, probably because you are authentic. Not the best chef out there, but I feel you and appreciate how real you are. I hope you never start performing.
That would be cool to see. In 2016 there was a demolition and bird waste abatement job on the Mile Rock Lighthouse. I wonder if that was the bags being retrieved(hazardous waste).
Watchin from Modesto, i spend a ton of time along the western sierras sometimes fishing trout. Your videos have shown that theres a ton of adventure and fun to be had along the coast. And your fishing expertise is appreciated by a newbie like me. Thanks for taking the time to share these great videos man.
Anytime you can fish near or in San Francisco local bay area it's a great thing.👍 It brings us up to date on local spots we can relate too. But now in SF Bay Area you need a boat. No places to fish from shore that produces any kind life or activity/bites as it's nonexistent with no bites, no edible fish /crabs due to being Fished out or the pollution unlike the 60'S and 70'S i.e Pier 7, Pier 14 Ferry Building, Mission Rock area, Pier 48, Pier 54 and the PGE Power plant off of 3rd Street and Evans Streets for stripped bass. For shore fishing you my have a chance in surf fishing Pacifica or Halfmoon Bay without a boat. This is the best video by far which is why we had to comment on this. Keep up this great format. We don't comment much and have been a long time subscriber but this was the BEST one because of the content and location. Keep more of these type of videos coming...🦭🐳🦑🦀🦐🐟🦈🦈🦈🐋🐋🐬🦈🦈👍
This was a great video! I loved how you started out with the long shots and narrative. Naming off the alphabetical streets brought back so many memories for me. I grew up in San Francisco and miss it so much. I have never seen the tide that low! This was actually one of my favorite videos you have made. That's saying another, since I really enjoy all of your videos. Thank you. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these.
Great video and Fun seeing you out there fishing. Thanks for the info concerning the tide and water condition this was so helpful to know And the camera angles were amazing. A good look of what was going on in your day on the boat and from different angles good idea and I'm sure lots of work. Thanks for taking us along 👏👍😍
Great vid so many different perspectives on known spots! Good to see you in good spirits. The currents around the Gate are fascinating; something to learn for a lifetime.
This was a fun episode. Two suggestions: the fast jump cuts at the beginning were a bit disorienting, and I wish you had shown your catch all together at the end. Other than that, I'm really enjoying your experimentations.
A trolling motor on the front with spot lock would help you a ton. I use it to keep my course while trolling as well. The main motor drives and the trolling motor steers. The spot lock can keep you anchored on an area the size of your boat even in the 4 knot current. Costly, yes, but worth every penny. 24 volt minimum. I fabbed up a mounting plate on the front of my old boat because the bow was funky like yours. Love the content.
I really enjoyed your video. I got to hand it to you for taking on this trip which is highly dangerous if you do not have experience. All the safety precautions you must have in case something goes wrong and to do it by yourself makes it scarier. But it was very informative, kind of like a blow-by-blow with the currents, the shipwrecks, the rocks and the tide really made this video very entertaining without me having to be out there! Haha. Love your boat, year and make? I have an 83 24' Wellcraft V20 with a Yamaha 150HP that I am working on specifically to do ocean fishing. Not seaworthy yet but soon. Can't wait to walk your footsteps!
Some great shots in this vid, can really appreciate the effort you took to take those shots of your drone passing by you while you narrate and point things out
Man just thinking on the amount of effort put it in the filming and creating of this video. A masterpiece, for a second I thought was from Discovery Channel this is great 👍 👌 keep it up
My man if I could buy stock in your videos I would be all in! Been following you for years and the progression has been very inspiring...both as a fisherman and a videographer/professional. Waiting for your inevitable Nat Geo show.
I find that putting the bouyes with the round side facing down toward the ocean floor helps it not to pull as hard on the pot. It cuts though the water better.
I’m subbed and for some reason RU-vid still won’t notify me of your videos. It’s actually kind of a gift since I now have so many videos to catch up on
I recently moved to SF near Ocean Beach. It's so unpredictable (as far as I know). On the days it's beautiful, calm, and relatively flat, I can't go fish the surf(weekday). On the days I can go, it's menacing with fog and wind and gnarly swells(weekend). Is there ever a good time to go?!? lol cool to see my new neighborhood from the water on one of the calmer days.
Very true. Many ship wrecks and lives lost to those submerged reefs and rocks. "The SS City of Rio de Janeiro was an iron-hulled steam-powered passenger ship, launched in 1878, which sailed between San Francisco and various Asian Pacific ports. On 22 February 1901, the vessel sank after striking a submerged reef at the entry to San Francisco Bay while inward bound from Hong Kong. Of the approximately 220 passengers and crew on board, fewer than 85 people survived the sinking, while 135 others were killed in the catastrophe. The wreck lies in 287 feet (87 m) of water just off the Golden Gate and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as nationally significant." After this wreck is when they built the mile rock lighthouse, which they later converted into a helipad.
Matt! These cinematic shots of the Bay Area are NUTS! I love seeing my home from the perspective of the water. The production quality has become so unbelievably amazing these past couple years.
