Overnight Kayak Camping on an Island: Fishing from the Beach

[Music] [Music] what's going on everyone so today for doing something very different Sergio and I are about to take these kayaks and go to some of these islands around here at the Dineen causeway and do a little camping overnight I brought a fishing rod so maybe I can catch something that I can cook tonight for dinner if not it's gonna be a fun little camping trip and new experience for us we're gonna go ahead start unpacking everything and then start kayaking over to the island [Music] that's one fully loaded kayak right there one thing you have to be careful with is you're not supposed to park out here overnight they have some signs saying like after like 11 o'clock it's like close here so I'm having my parents come over and pick up the truck and they're gonna bring it over just a little heads up for you guys well at least we know it floats how far are we going 18 miles think I'm gonna strap my arms through this backpack all right yeah the front turtle and we're not gonna lie tagging with a backpack like right on your chest it's kind of annoying I'd say a mile kayak to I mean there's a bunch of these four islands over here but the one we want to go to called horseshoe Island I think we looked it up on Google there's really not much out there about camping on these islands but apparently everyone says that this is the best one so we're gonna go check it out she's made it alright so it looks like someone's got this one looks like some people already set up at this one so we're gonna explore the island a little bit see if we can find a different spot like is someone actually here like right right now I think someone just like left us here for when I really stopped by okay so we'll keep exploring but like unless it's like a legitimate good one down there we'll just set up here that was nice dude look at that Beach yeah this might be the spot oh this is it oh dude this is sick we're just firewood dude this is nice all right we are coming over here I can fish right here setup we get set up as many tents as we want right here that's flat this spots legit so like half of a what happened here oh yeah there's the other part what happened here what happened here to rip a giant canoe in half I am thoroughly impressed for like free camping can't beat this what a moat going by that's a good sign now I know there's a trout and redfish yourself I'm confident I could catch something something to eat that's a different thing Oh we just got our kayaks and everything set up here at the side on the island now we're just gonna set up our tents and I'll probably do some fishing after we set up the tent see if I can catch dinner and I'll give it like an hour because I'm hungry trying to start a fire and so it's like down to the coals I just realize I did forget something forgot I'm a little great for the fire well honestly it's not too big of a deal already learning where forgot something something for next time but yeah we can we can survive without it all right get set up so I've never set up this tent before obviously the one tenth I have is set up for my truck and that won't work here so I'm borrowing my parents tent so we'll see how long this actually takes me to set this up I'm getting somewhere all right here's a little campsite right here we got my tent right here walk on in got a nice little air mattress right there got my backpacks with camera stuff and everything rain fly just tie that down and then Sergio's got his tent up on this little elevated surface that's here apparently they built this because in the summer the sand please get real bad so you can get off the ground and sleep there but he decided to put it up there and it's March 10th fire pit and we got the water all around us right here we run like a little Peninsula so I think what I'm gonna do now is set up the GoPro set up my fishing stuff and see at least try for like an hour or two to see if I can get like a sheeted or a black drum or a flounder or something that can coast for dinner and honestly just trying to catch whatever I can I know there's redfish trout and stuck around the side on the tube obviously I can't keep that either catch a fish or eat the fish I catch or we're gonna have hot dogs for dinner so either way we're not gonna go hungry but goal is to catch some fish for dinner so I got my little secret weapon got some frozen shrimp I've had in my freezer for a while I got a little pompano Jay goofy jig tied up right here I'm just gonna tip it with a little bit of shrimp walk over here see if I can get some some dinner hopefully thing is I used to fish off these islands a lot when I was a kid so I know that there's like a redfish and trout here sure the sheet set is suck because of all these rocks and everything pretty low tide a little pompano jig stick one of these scrimp take off a little bit and tip it on to the main part of the goofy jig right there here we go she's using my pen class 3000 st. croix mojo in short seven six medium light power rod 15 pound braid 25 litre see we can get I thought of a better idea instead of this little goofy jig I'm just gonna put on a popping cork with a little hook see what I can get with that alright so I just reset up right here got a little poppin port bow okay a two foot section of leader right here I think this is 20 pound leader look like a little size I think there's a 100 look right here with a little split shot above it so good put a little piece of shrimp on there cast it out and just pop it around see if I can get something [Music] there we go got some small my bag a little pin fish yep little pin fish ray not what I'm going after I'm not that desperate seated I'd get him over these rocks I've given up hope I'm trying to catch something to eat here I'll help you out just see it's a little bit [Applause] [Music] [Music] good morning everyone so as you can tell we've already been help for a little bit we got a fire going and everything but the Sun just started to rise above the horizon so I'm gonna go ahead and grab my rod put on some top waters I think and see if I can catch some trout and redfish around this island before we cook some breakfast got bit come on got bit [Music] all of your trout come on missile [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] got a good crowd it looks like I wasn't recording the same GoPro yep nice trap really nice trout you like a bite on them that's weird something tried to eat them it's a nice trout right here though probably like 19 maybe 20 no it's bigger than that hold on can't do me a favor a my tackle box they should be like a little like ruler kind of thing in there could you grab that just walk my dog right now all right let's see how big you are dude 19 inch stroke thank you sir there we go nice try right there see you dude hopefully nothing bye to you anymore come on oh there he goes nice good holy crap that is so nice to actually catch something that's my third attempt at trying to catch a fish it's not that trout thought it ended on a high note the only fish besides the one pin fish I got the only good fish I got this entire trip but I know that there's oftentimes a lot of these trout a lot of redfish and I didn't really try with the cow for too long so I know that there's a lot more fish here but it's time for us to start packing up so we can get back get back home is just a quick one night trip [Music] so I found this on the beach last night I'll try to take some pictures of the moon and the stars and everything is it art new decoration that's the word I'm looking for new decoration for the apartment one man's trash is another man's treasure [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] so that's gonna do it for this trip we just got back and we packed up the truck right now it was pretty fun the first time we've ever done this going out to one of these islands and camping it's free camping and the campsites were pretty good
