Good Morning guys from the Central Coast of California...We are in Cambria and I've
been trying to make today's video for a couple weeks now! But the goal is to
catch it, clean it and cook it! So we're going fishing!
So I went to Walmart and I bought this... Like $17 rod-and-reel combo...It even has
fishing lines so... I'm questioning the quality and maybe about $10 in
terminal tackle and that's all you really need to catch these Surf perch! So
what we're looking at here...Is a Carolina rig at least I think that's what it's
called from my bass fishing days! But essentially I got a sliding sinker right
here...A swivel and then about three feet a liter to an inch and three-quarter
motor oil Sparkle Grub! Motor oil is a very safe color to go with for the Surf
perch... The Glitter...Yeah, that's all they had!
Good Morning, everybody! I thought I would say hello while Benny is out fishing and...
Kind of update you in terms of where we are...And what's happened the last few
days and what lies ahead! I think we closed out the last video with letting
you know about Ben's grandfather...He passed away right before the weekend on
Friday...And we drove from my mom's on the Central Coast down to
Ben's mom's in Hemet...We spent some quality time with mom and then came back
up so we could continue our trip and... Because of this and switching out the
other Motorhome... We decided to extend our trip a little
bit!... We talked to Sky River RV and they were gracious enough to give us an extra week...
So that we don't have to cut things short and not go to some of the places
we wanted to go! So we'll be keeping the RV for another week which is pretty cool!
Anyway, so we came back up to my mama's and...Picked up the RV and headed back up
here to the Northern part of San Luis Obispo County on the coast...So that we
could come and do Cambria...This for Ben and I, this is the best part of the trip!
Like we love this part of the coastline and Ben being able to go
fishing and...Just enjoying the quieter beaches, not as many people and...Very much
feeling like we're in nature! So I'm gonna take some pictures and catch some
video of him fishing...The thing he didn't tell you is that Doug also lent him
waiters! Which he doesn't have now and so he's
out there fishing in his shorts! As you can see, it's a little chilly this
morning so...I bet his legs are cold!
Well, the Walmart fishing gear is working! The ahh...
Both is working... I keep getting these hits!
And I have a pretty small hook on here but you can tell it's a hit when you're...
You know, your little rub is all kind of crunched down to the bottom! My feet are
getting cold...Taking a few splashes up the shorts...
I want to catch something for you guys!
There might be one or two couples on the channel who can relate to what I'm about
to tell you...And it shocks me! But Ben doesn't want to go explore Cambria with
me, he'd rather stay here and fish! I am flabbergasted! Really I'm not! So rather
than make it a bone of contention between the two of us, he's gonna stay
here in fish and I'm gonna go explore Cambria! And you'll get a little bit of
both!... I did get the better end of the deal though because I get to take this
little one with me!...Alright guys, time for round 2! I made sure I returned that coffee
before I came back down here...Beck is heading into town and I've switched over
to the GoPro Hero 5 Black...A very nice waterproof camera so... I'm not giving up on you guys!
The first place I wanted to come out to is about a 10-minute drive outside of
Cambria and it's a place that I came to... Actually, only one time when I was in
college with friends...We came out to Cambria and...Came to a place called
Linn's Fruit Bin! And she has a restaurant in town now as well! But this is the farm...
And they have a little store out here...The big thing Cambria is known for is Olallie
berries...And they make jam and pies and... Different things out of it, so I'm sure
we'll see that in town today and here as well!... I was able to talk to a guy in the
parking lot. He's a local and he got about 15 in the
same time period that I was! But he was using bait! Sun craps... I don't have bait!
And he kind of poured his bait into the water when he was done! But he did say
just a little further south down the beach...It's really hard to pick up but
there's a little point with some rocks... But the barred Surfperch likes to hang
out on the southern side of the point! When it comes to fishing, local knowledge
is so priceless!... So this is Linn's collection here! They have jams
and syrups and preserves...And this is the Olallieberry that I was telling you
about! I'm gonna get some so we can try that out, I don't think Ben has ever had it!
Ooh, vinegars!... That's cool! This is also something that they're known for is...
Pretty delicious pies!... Alright guys, well I got one! It's just far too small
to even consider making a meal out of! But I didn't get skunked!... Alright, see you
later buddy!... Now this next place I want to take you is actually a hotel or a
lodge...But they have these amazing gardens!... Alright, guys...
Another one! This is a better size!... You know, there's gonna be some actual meat on the
side of this thing!... So Cambria Pines Lodge has over 25 acres of gardens!
Maybe it's because I was a fan of the secret garden as a child...But I love being
able to wander through a place...That is like...The secret garden!... Obviously they
have weddings here and all sorts of special events...But I like to just walk around and wander through here...There's number two!
We have enough for an appetizer!... As you can see, it's a beautiful place to visit!
Alright, I think it might be time to head on. Let's go check it out with Ben and see if he's ready to go!
Well, that's good timing! He said he's gonna watch for the focus but look, he's
right here! Woohoo! We have an appetizer!... Well that's
alright!...Yeah Hey, didn't get skunked! Did you have fun?
Yeah, it was good!... You're a little damp...Yeah... Are you cold?...No!
I'm gonna take advantage of the outdoor shower to clean everything off!... Good!... Well...
It may be cheap fishing gear but saltwater can pretty much destroy
everything! So it pays to rinse them off!
It looks like another really nice place! We could kind of get used to the RV resorts!... It is nice being spoilt!
You can see anything we haven't seen before? Oh, I'm sure there's something in there!
I haven't watched this one in a long time! "The Great Outdoors." What's calling my
name...It is a nice bottle of red wine! You wanna go wine tasting tomorrow?... It's fun
going wine tasting when you don't have to drive!... That's the key!... That's my motto"Never drink and drive." Exactly, just a matter of safety and responsibility!
Alright guys, here's our campsite at Wine Country RV Resort in Paso Robles...It is
a beautiful sight! We have a nice little barbecue, some chairs...I think we're gonna
be happy here for a few nights!... Okay, guys, these are barred surfperch
and...You know, I would say this would be an average size. They can definitely get
bigger... Well, I'm having a hard time remembering if I cut through the ribs or
around the ribs, when I clean these guys... Because it's been a really long time and
you don't get a ton of meat! Okay, I think I felt the ribs! I think I'd go above them...
Yep, you're watching real life here guys!
At least you know I can actually clean fish! It's just that I have not done one of these in a
real long time!... There we go! That's what I needed...
There we go! That one went better!
Okay, discard the carcass!... And now let's clean this up! I was hoping to do a fish fry
tonight...But if you've ever done a fish fry, you'll appreciate that it's a fair
amount of work! And it's just hard to warrant that kind of work for four
pieces of fish like this!...Well, woohoo! I used my hand for size reference! Don't eat
it all in one bite guys!... So I'm just gonna put a little bit of Susic Q's on
there and put it in the oven!... Are you ready honey?... Okay...Yeah, this is gonna be
like a meal and a half!... It is such a delicate fish!... Grab a piece!...I've been hearing about these for 15 years, they
better be good!... Ahh, they are a lot better fried...And they are a lot better when the
filets are bigger!... That's really good actually!
Yeah, it's very delicate!... Mmm, I'm picky about my fish to! That's good!... Well, guys, it wasn't much but we caught it...
We cleaned it and we cooked it! Mmm...And we ate it!... Yep! Thanks for riding along with us
