    Took the good ole Whaly boat out for a dungeness crab and fishing trip. Had to find a plce to camp first before dropping the crab pots. This camping trip was a little early in the season, so I will plan to go back out when Halibut and Salmon are running!

    Can we just take a moment and just appreciate how much effort this fisherman does in videography. We got to see a shot of him coming in on the sandy beach. Which means he already landed, set up his camera, went back out into the water so he could show us, his viewers, of him coming into the place were he planned to camp. This is pure entertainment dedication I cannot say how awesome this all is.

    Your best bet is to drop an anchor with a few feet of chain as you come in to the beach. Drop it 50 to 100 feet from the beach. Nylon is good for anchoring because it has stretch. Then use a bow line to tie to a log or branch on the beach. You can put some stretch in the anchor line to get to the beach and then ease off and tie your bow line with a bit of slack. Your boat will float on the water and not get grounded with the rise and fall of the tide. This system, if done properly on an appropriate beach will handle a significant tidal swing. I wouldn't trust that umbrella anchor in an unattended situation. Especially without chain. I've had good luck with Danforth type anchors but there are newer types some people prefer. Danforths stow well and are comparably light weight. Check out some YT videos ... sorry, couldn't help it. :-)
    Those buoys are illegal in WA and we can't keep females. Surprised both are OK in CA. Most people here use at least two proper buoys and plenty of line to help with the current issue. Also, you need weight in the pots to keep them from being dragged by current.

    • @ricktalbott9611
      @ricktalbott9611 3 роки тому +4

      The minute I saw that without chain I was going no no no ! I was the anchor puller on my brother in laws 36 foot sail boat and his belief was you could never have enough chain. Thank the Lord I was in my 30's and could pull that stuff up, but we never drifted with his set up.
      Good advice you gave Capt !

    Hey Matts! Great video, as always. I've camped at that very spot. I often take a 15 foot aluminum boat out in that bay and have a pretty good anchoring technique. I drop a DANFORTH anchor (common man, get a good anchor. It will save your butt if you have a mechanical failure) out I then drive into the beach. Make sure the anchor is set properly - this is important given the amount of sea grass in that bay. I get another long rope and tie it to the stern or bow. I secure this line to something substantial at night (ideally a tree but another anchor works - just don't stub your tow on it at night). Keep this line slack. The hot tip is to disconnect the fuel line from your engine (not the tank) and put the motor in reverse at idle. I ghost ride the whip out off of the beach while paying out line - the engine runs out of gas in about 30 seconds. This way the boat is anchored out safely and you have it secured to a slack line on shore. This way, if your fishing departure is at low tide you can always pull in the boat as you walk up current on the beach and off you go. Keep the content coming. Love it!

      @hexroy is that all you do? I bring blues home keep em in a cooler with a damp towel and ice packs but i still end up with some dead in the morning (some with limbs removed by other crabs)
      What can i do to keep them alive better??

      ​@@xxoczukxx If the cooler stays ice cold, the ones that do die wouldn't have been dead long and they won't degrade in quality. I wouldn't do it for long stints, but overnight is fine.

    I would love to see some live streams going for your camping adventures. Just a thought.
