Alright, we just made it here
Brought all of our stuff, I got all my rods
Hey, this is Pablo
What's going on?
Where's your site, right here?
YES!
Here's James
And, uh, we're here for a week!
See what we can catch, we're trying to catch fish to eat, we're trying to hang out
Did you even bring a tent or are you sleeping in a hammock?
[James:] Um, I was actually gonna sleep on the roof
[Brendon:] Go ahead, man. That should be good at least you'll be away from bears
Alright, let's set up our tent, Erin
[Erin:] Yea, alright
[Brendon:] Yea, alright alright
[Erin:] Eh, it's in my face [Brendon:] Yea
[Brendon:] Don't- I don't fancy that
[Erin:] *laughing* don't fancy that
[Brendon:] Alright, here's the grand reveal
BOOM
There's our- our big tent
Hi, Erin. Is it ready to show off in there?
[Erin:] Yea, it's just a tent
[Brendon:] We got a big queen mattress in there
That thing is 24 inches tall
$70 from Walmart
Worth every penny
[Erin:] Better than *inaudible*
[Brendon:] So, this is our tent
Uhhh
took us like, 20/30 minutes to set up
Let's go check on James and Pablo and everyone else's tent
What's up
James, this is your tent!?
You didn't expand it!
Is that fully expanded?
James, that's your tent?
[James:] That's it
[Brendon:] You didn't expand it
It's not opened yet
Get in! Let me see *laughing* oh my gosh!
It's not extended yet
Get in
[Erin:] Gonna come out as a butterfly
[Brendon:] And that's his poop bucket *laughing*
That's probably pretty darn comfortable [Erin:] Looks pretty cozy
[James:] It's nice. It's quaint
[Erin:] Do you sleep with your arms crossed across your chest, too?
[Brendon:] Are you guys ready to go get some tackle and stuff?
[James:] Let's do it
[Brendon:] Let's go
We spent the next 2 days searching for fish
We jumped from spot to spot, looking for any signs of life
We managed to find a few fish, but it was tough
[Erin:] We even tried fishing the Canal
and we didn't catch any fish there, but we did see this HUGE ocean sunfish which we never thought we'd see from shore
[Brendon:] And it wasn't until day 3 that we found them at 4am
It's daybreak
um
To be exact, I think it's like 6 o'clock
Right on the dot
Uuummm
We're here at daybreak because this is the best opportunity
To- to run into a
To run into a fishing blitz
and that's when there's bluefish and there's striped bass and there's all sorts of different fish
feeding on the bait fish
That are pushed up close into the shallow water
under the night sky
If you can wake up early enough, get out there because this is a really good opportunity
to hit a lot of fish
What a good start to the day
Yea!
We- I'm- I'm just upset we couldn't film that in the- in the darkness
[Erin:] Yea
We did our best
[Brendon:] It's not the same though, if you do
It's not the same because the fish get scared off
[Erin:] Exactly
[Brendon:] But you guys, rest assured we got our catch of uh dinner
Lunch maybe?
Oh my gosh, my pants are falling down
Oh my gosh, you cut a hole in your pants
wait, why did that happen?
[Erin:] I had a bluefish and as I was kneeling down it started flopping and the other treble hook on my spoon got caught in my pants
[Brendon:] Oh my gosh
[Erin:] And at that point, I was like "oh no I could actually get caught in my leg"
So, my adrenaline was just going and I also just wanted to get it out there so I just-
[Brendon:] You just cut your pants?
[Erin:] I was like "BRENDON!"
[Brendon:] You like those pants, though
[Erin:] I know, but they're old anyway so...
[Brendon:] Ok
[Erin:] I can always stitch them back up
And we both got nice over 20 inch stripers, right?
[Brendon:] Yea
[Brendon:] Oh my god!
I like the popper, it's like- it chugs. It goes BLOOMP
BLOOMP
it-it-it's like it inserts a big bubble
watch
BLOOMP
oh my god, it slammed it
Oh I'm on! I'm on! I looked away for one second
Oooohhh got right off
got a bite?
So, they're still around
[Erin:] That's what I was using all morning, Pablo
[Pablo:] Really?
[Erin:] Yea
[Brendon:] There you go!
[Pablo:] Got him!
[Brendon:] There we go. Nice, Pablo
How do you like it on that- What is that, a *inaudible*
That looks nice
Nice work
[Pablo:] Oh!
[Brendon:] OOooohhhh
Snapped- oh that's definitely a bluefish then
[Pablo:] Yup, saw him right there
Look at that: clean snap
[Brendon:] Clean off, huh?
oh my gosh
oh my gosh! I made this so long ago
We made this together- oh my gosh
[Pablo:] It works on the fly rod
[Pablo:] It works really well on the fly rod
[Brendon:] This would be- this little thing would be so perfect!
I gotta throw this on the fly, that's what they were chasing today!
I tied this from a Doritos bag so long ago. Did you tie this one or did I tie this one?
[Pablo:] Uhhh, I think you tied that one
[Brendon:] Oh my gosh, I gotta try this tomorrow on the fly
That would've been perfect
Look at that sunrise
That is crazy!
Wow
On!
They're WAY out there
Hell yea, that's it
Woo! My arms are getting tired
Oh my gosh, that was a LONG ride
That was a long ride back
I bet you it was
How'd you- how'd you make out Pablo?
[Pablo:] Lost a big one
[Brendon:] Nightmare fuel
James, how'd you- how'd you make out?
[James:] Awesome. I didn't lose any, but I didn't hook up on any big ones
[Brendon:] This is the spot though, right? This is THE spot
[James:] Yea, this is the best spot
[Brendon:] Let's get outta here
Alright, now it's time to go back to camp, filet these up, and figure out how we're gonna eat this
Any suggestions?
[Erin:] I don't know, but I'm hungry
[Brendon:] How do you guys think we should eat it?
What is your favorite way to eat your fresh catch?
Alright, time to filet
I like to do it at the beach so I don't have to get guts anywhere in the house
bluefish don't have that many scales, but I'm gonna do it anyways
'kay Erin. You scale 'em, I'll gut 'em, ok?
I'm just gonna filet it, actually
It's gonna be so easy. I don't have to gut anything
There we go
Now we got a bucket full of filets
and unlimited potential
[Erin:] Oh, I like your backwards hat, Brendon
[Brendon:] Thank you, it's our new Hey Skipper hat
I'm just gonna salt them so they stay salty for now
[Erin:] Keep it salty
[Brendon:] Keep it fresh
And then, before we eat them we're gonna wash them off
Alright, it has started to rain now. We're back at camp
Um
As soon as we got back, it started to rain. But we set up this tarp now so that we can cook the fish under this tarp
And not inside a tent and inside the rain
so it'll be good
[Erin:] So, what's in here?
[Brendon:] Ginger, lime, um... wait. I don't even know. Ginger, lime, soy sauce,
Um... sweetener,
[Erin:] Is it good?
[Brendon:] ok
Whoops
[Erin:] Some splash
[Brendon:] Want to try one, James?
[James:] I'll try some of that, is that cool?
[Pablo:] Yea, yea
[Pablo:] *inaudible*
MMMM That's not bad
That is not bad
[Brendon:]MMMM
Good, right?
Want some, Erin?
[Erin:] Yea
Thank you
[Brendon:] Alright guys, that's the end of this adventure
I had an awesome time doing a catch and cook
Um
Camping here is awesome
Even in the rain
You know, make do
Gonna finish cooking up some fish and then...
I'm gonna turn them into cakes for lunch tomorrow
[Erin:] Yum
[Brendon:] Say bye, Erin
[Erin:] Bye!
Thank you
