After seeing how close the anchovies were in my last video I had to give it a try from shore and see if anything big was lurking around. www.fishermans...
Matts. Never change. I love this throwback style video to your early days. You may not know how much, but your videos have gotten me through tough times and you just being a genuine guy out there sharing both success and sometimes no success is so refreshing and needed in this time where all you see is instant gratification on most social platforms. You are the real real and thats why I love your videos.
Good safety tips on rocks! I'll give you one in return. Get a short length of rope and tie it into the handle of your bucket. You can throw and retrieve the bucket and not have to go right to the edge of the water! Love the content!
The anchovy population in the bay and surrounding ocean is EXPLODING. My buddy at 26th and Balboa watched pelicans drop anchovies in the streets because their beaks were too full.
BROOOOO THAT SO GENIUS with the bubble box. flip your batteries when they are not in use to not accidentally drain the batteries low the best life/fishing hack
Dude, I love your stuff!! I didn’t even know this existed a year ago. You inspired me to start my own channel! Thanks for all the killer fishing trips! 🔥👊🏻🎣
The bobber would work good off docks and piers here in Florida. Next time try tying a length of light anchor rope to the bucket handle; so you can retrieve the water. We even use a clip,so we can clip it on the handle and off.
Was a little upset when you didn't help the dead seal. But then I realized: it's dead... Love your video, wish you and Taku make more videos together!!
Just a tip: For walking on slippery rocks, buy a pair of felt soles for waders and glue them to a dedicated pair of shoes with shoe goo or similar. Can kinda literally be a life saver. You might need to grind the sole of the shoe down a little to get a good glue.
Interesting idea to soften the bones. Would be great to bread and deep fry too. Btw speaking of eating 'bait' does anyone eat Crangon bay shrimp up there in the Bay Area? In regions bordering the North Sea they're a delicacy, fry in butter, eat shell and all, cannot be beat
@@chir0pter If they exist there I'm sure someone eats them, unless they're protected. Back to eating bait... Most bait fishes' bones are edible even when fried. But in the pressure cooker the spine gets soft too, so you can get the extra calcium and nerve tissue nutrients. You can make them into cakes, sandwich fillings, or pizza toppings when bones aren't an issue.
@@moretimethanmoney8611 yeah I thought you lived there, I think people catch and buy them for bait so there might be a bit of a barrier to eating them. They really are one of the top 2 or 3 seafoods I've ever had tho, at least the species from Europe
Another great video. @ 11:20 - Ocean may be unlimited rods but you were on a public jetty so I believe there's a 2 rod limit, the same as on a public pier. you may want to verify that.
Sweet a jetty video!!!! Love the shore fishing. I just got done fishing and filming at the south jetty of Morro Bay where no one goes but me. Landed 3 rock fish and a jack smelt for bait.
Totally happy you made another Jetty Episode, like your older videos! You make catching bait look like a ton of fun too haha. Gonna start catching them off the wharf in SC soon!
Don't worry about it Matts and at least you got out for the day to relax by yourself. like the saying goes that's why it's called FISHING not CATCHING.
I was just thinking about the weighted slip bobbers I have been making and how tired I was making them and wondering if someone was finely making them for casting. ( That was a long sentence)! 🤣. I like using them in the kelp as well. I should have known you would have them. Much love for you and the family.
Love the vids long time fan gathering bait fish can be very rewarding especially when you get huge hookups on the fresh bait you gathered its emotional.
Maybe try to use a de-hooker and grab the weight when putting bait into your live well. You will remove less scales from bait and hurt it less. that will allow the bait to present itself better in the water
Nice water/wind/wave conditions. Was there 2 weeks ago, over 3 days couldn't take the kayak out at all. My other 3 days spent north Pacifica, fishing in heavy morning surf. Again, seas too rough for me-kayak.
Hi, I've been watching your videos for years now and as always your videos are awesome. I'm new to Kayaking and just wondering if you could make a video on how to use the VHF radios and how to choose channels and how to call for help that would be very much appreciated. Thank you,
**Theres a prime example of the scam profile and number in the reply under this post.** Great vid bro. Pro tip on the bubble box, use an 18650 or 2 of them if you have. EDIT* just gotta bend 1 prong side, not the spring side.* way better aeration, if you need. Keep up the great work brother! 🤙
Soon as you said see what you can guess what you were doing....my daughter pipes in.....HAVEING a heart attack that what's he's doing... She's walked our jetty here ours is four miles
Good Video 📹 👍. Just a update, The Skagit area in Washington closed down shell fish harvesting because of (PSP) toxin Paralytic shellfish poisoning. No crabbing either.
There is a company that makes an aerator that runs off of 18650 recharble batteries that squirt out some hella nice air bubbles. You should check them out as rechargeable batteries will save hella money over the hella long haul.
You put a lot of work into getting in and out of there. And you did not once mention or complain about the stench! The end of the jetty has that really strong acrid ammonia smell that is so strong it hurts my eyes. That is without the smell of a dead seal lion pup.
As always, a great adventure! Trying to make the street fair in August to meet you in person. I love fishing the jetties too! Better luck next time. When I am getting water for live bait, I have 25 feet of paracord tied to the bucket handle so I can throw it out without risking a slip! Later bro!
