Great experience. I grew up in MA (unfortunately) but myself and 2 other friends ended up unemployed in the early 90's, one of us lived on the water in buzzards bay and had a boat so we bought 20 traps and lobstered all season. Let me tell you we got really sick of lobster, we ended up walking into places near Wareham Ma that were locally owned with 5 gallon buckets full of lobster and asking the owner if he wanted to trade the bucket for beers and steaks or whatever else they served and we were never turned away, we did OK on minimal unemployment checks, fishing and hunting. Have you ever heard of the New Bridge Cafe in Chelsea MA? Best marinade for steak tips ever, equal parts cranberry juice, Heinz Chili Sauce, Italian dressing and Coke A Cola. In other parts of the country Tri-Tip is the cut you want to make steak tips. Now to figure out with these fuel prices if we can make it from AZ to Maine this year. I think I saw you guys for a minute at the Grand Design National this year in Elkhart.
Sounds like some amazing memories were made in those years lobstering! And we haven't heard of New Bridge Cafe. Sounds delicious! Hope you guys are able to make it to Maine! And we were at the National Rally last summer! Wish we could have said hi! Thank you for watching!
Hi guys, it’s me again! Lol we have so many parallels, here’s another based off this episode: back in 2006 I bought a 43’ Beneteau sailboat and I sailed from San Francisco Bay through the Panama Canal and docked it in Saint Augustine. My son is a chef and he went to the Atlantic Culinary Institute in Dover, New Hampshire. He went out and worked on Lobster boats often. Jess, I’ve never had lobster, so I don’t know if I like them, but I do love a good steak! Now to put some perspective to this, my kids (yes, I still call them kids) are y’all’s ages, my son is 41, my daughter is 37.
My most memorable Maine trip included a trip on a workboat with "Bill" the marine scientist and cold water diver. Our destination was Machias Seal Island*, home of the Puffins when they' re not at sea. You sit in blinds like duck hunters, except with cameras. The Puffins forget you're there and walk right up to the blind. When we returned to Eastport, the dock we left was now 20' over our heads! Bay of Fundy, baby!!! Priceless! * Right on the Canadian/US border eight miles offshore.
Nice fun episode , hope Lily has gotten her license , by the weather I'm guessing this was last summer . It doesn't seem like that long ago I was teaching my daughter how to drive my jeep that was a manual shift , now I have two granddaughters and the youngest is 7 . One thing I learned when teaching the clutch is to use low range , much easier on all the parts involved including my neck . LOL ease out the clutch don't pop it , pops clutch . haha Funny it took that long for you to do that Corey , I grew up in San Diego so never had that particular option but I have done deep sea fishing in San Diego in my early teens and then later south into Mexico plus I've been out on a dive boat a few times at the Cortez Banks scuba diving for lobster over 80 miles off shore (my roommates and I had a lobster fest those weekends) , those were all great times I will always remember . I love that you guys get to make those kinds of memories with your girls , I always tried to make a point of doing something unique anytime I was on vacation with my kids , even though I was in aerospace work I did get out every year for at least a week or two .
Thanks for watching! Lil was actually getting her permit. The state of Maine has very strict driving laws. $700 course with 30 hours in class and 10 hours of instructor driving just to get your permit. Then she has to have 70 hours of driving with us before she can apply to take her license test. This was end of August, beginning of September last year. Just a few more episodes and we will be in Season 7 down here in Florida! Glad you were able to have some great fishing with you buddies! Being on the water is always a good time!
It's pretty much the expectation when you say you're from Maine that people expect you to love lobster. They always seem so disappointed when I have to say I'm allergic to shellfish!! I do like the looks of that steak though!! :) Looks like the boat was fun! My hubby has missed Maine not having a shrimp season for the last several years terribly!
Well Jess doesn't have the allergy excuse, she just doesn't like it!😂 The steak was pretty tasty! We love getting steak tips when we are back in Maine! We don't usually eat shrimp any where unless we are in Maine! Hope you guys are able to get back so he can have some soon! 😃
I'm originally from Maine, too, and have been on the ocean many times, but not in Portland area, and not on a lobster boat! So envious!! Love being on the water, it's my Zen place!!
Being a fellow Mainer now transplanted to Texas, it's always great to see you both back 'home'. No matter how far we travel, we always feel like we're coming 'home' when we cross the bridge in Portsmouth back into Maine. Being from South Portland the scenes of Commercial St and Portland made me homesick - but we are fortunate in that we spend every summer at Higgins Beach in Scarborough. We travel across country in our Montana fifth wheel in June and don't head back to Texas until after Labor Day. The scenes of Portland Head Light, Casco Bay etc fantastic can't wait until June! Love you both!
So awesome! Higgins is one of our favorite spots! My parents rented a house there every summer for vacation and Jess and I went there all through high school and walked the beach in our dress and tux the night of our wedding. It is a very special place for us. Glad you know it so well! 😃 The world gets smaller and smaller the more we travel! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Went their when I was about 12 on a trip w family from NYC to Maine. it was really cool once we left NYC 🤣😂 I don't eat lobster still 30+ years later 🤮 ...I forgot the name of the famous restaurant on the shore but my father had to pay for a full lobster meal so I could bring McDonald's in for me to eat 😂🤣😅...my sister cracked a lobster 🦞 and it sprayed all over my French Fries cheese burger and ruined a very expensive happy meal 😂🤣😅 everyone was laughing and joking about it but I knew they all wanted my Fries 🍟 seemed so terrible but always fun to tell... think it was probably summer of 1984 or 85... I remember the statue of Liberty 🗽 was being repaired that year and closed 😪...my favorite part of the trip was staying in the bed and breakfast on the point and walking the shore and seeing all the tide pools...hope to make it back someday without the lobster juice this time though 😀 😉...always enjoy your videos 📹 thanks for all the effort and time ⏲.
What a great memory! You were probably at my other buddies restaurant, The Lobster Shack at Two Lights(if you ever see us stay at a lakehouse while in Maine, it’s his) You might have been at the Black Point Inn in Scarborough. I am truly sorry for the loss of the fries 😔
@@FindingOurSomeday right! You remember how good French fries use to be 😂🤣😅I'm terrible at remembering names but sounds like the same places. I've seen all but about 6 of your videos and always waiting for what's next...I struggled alot with my memories and it is really amazing to have memories come back because someone like you takes people back to a place they enjoyed...the inspiration to see them again and all the other places is truly a blessing...I don't like typing much but I want people to know when they make a unimaginable difference for many people who don't or can't comment or travel...I actually give people advice and tips for rvs now because of your videos and I don't even own one lol... always wishing you and family and friends the best of luck ❤and thanks...
Fun episode! Really interesting to see the time lapse of their work - I had no idea that's how it worked. Ya'll are just the most fun folks. Thanks for sharing!
Love Lobster, although I've never had it in Maine. Lots of butter needed. I've been on Shrimp boats down here which is probably not as smelly since we don't need bait to catch the shrimp, but you do have to be wary of the Crab that might sneak up on you and take a bite of you.
What no talk about the Lobster Wars. I am super lazy when it comes to Taters boil water add the spuds done but my favorite is big ass Russett rub olive oil on the skin and bake to perfection.
This reminds me so much of our trip to Boothbay Harbor a couple of years ago. Love the area so much. Unexpected gems were a visit to the Botanical Gardens and to Edgecomb Pottery. We would love to go back! We have a new Reflection that needs its own sticker! LOL. So glad you had so much fun together as a family.
This was a great episode! We had the good fortune to go out on a lobster boat with a captain from Southwest Harbor when we were in Maine in 2019. It was one of the best highlights of our trip.
Was it as tight going by the other boats as it looked? Pretty cool watching the crabbers work. Glad the wedding was a success. Dinner looked pretty decent as well... Dave
Kinders the blend is really good. For steaks try the Fire and smoke society Thundering Longhorn Steak blend. It is incredible! Has a little coffee and chili peppers in it. You can get it at Super Walmarts. Awesome video, keep up the great work.
Thanks for the recommendation! We have tried coffee blends before and they are really good! Thanks for watching and following along with us on our journey!
September is the best month to be there! You guys are going to have a blast! Happy Early Anniversary! This year will be our 21st! Thanks so much for watching!
OH my gosh!! We've been to The Fisherman's Catch a few times!! Friendly people and the best lobster, lobster rolls, fried clams etc etc.... My cousin used to live down the road on Main St. She passed away last year. Lots of great memories with her, her brother and my Aunt. We're from Louisiana and visiting them and eating lobster was a real treat. What a coincidence! Love all of your videos 🥰🙌
Small world! My best friend lives and owns many properties on Main St so we know it well. So glad you have been able to experience one of our favorite places from home! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video and congratulations to your mom on getting married and having a beautiful wedding. That looked like fun going on the boat ride to catch some crab. We had friends that had a fish market and they sold live crab and lobster. I used to go help deliver the cooked ones to people up there where they lived. Not sure where they got the crabs or lobster. The fish cane from Michigan I think and other states. You all looked like you had fun in the boat.
I love how you cook the steaks and I like the recipe for the potatoes I will have to try that. I also love doing baked potatoes on my smoker just rub down a little bit of olive oil and a lot of black pepper.
You really know how to torture a person that loves loves loves fresh seafood but is landlocked in the middle of a desert. And people wonder why once a month I will drive over 200 miles to go to Joe's Crab Shack to pig out on seafood, then turn around and drive back home. I have always wanted to go to Maine, such a beautiful state, especially the coastal area. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience and the information about fishing for lobster. You have some great friends that would take you all out while they were busy working. Can't wait to see what else you have to share.
Really hope you are able to make it to Maine SOMEDAY soon! You will love the seafood! And you are right, we have incredible friends! Looking forward to sharing more! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Worked on a charter fishing boat and it was hard days i can't imagine lobstering everyday. We'll be up there in August so save me a lobster or 2. Great footage and can't wait to try the Surf 'N Turf myself.
Will have to check out the Fisherman’s Catch this summer- spend a lot of time over on Sebago so always looking for a new resturant for a rainy day. Loved the donut shop you went to in Portland on one of your trips home. Fun view of Portland from the water.
Please do and tell them that Finding Our Someday sent you! Sebago is where we used to have our boat and we stay on Little Sebago whenever we are back home! 😃Tony's Donuts is the best and always one of our first stops whenever we are home!
Thank you so much for joining us! These are the comments that we love the most as we always hope that our audience feels like they are right there with us!
@Finding Our Someday, do you know how all the fisherman determine where they can drop their trap lines without stepping on one another’s toes? Do they do and annual draw or do fisherman have to purchase licenses for rights to certain drop areas or is it just first come first serve? I hope my question makes sense.
Thanks guys for a fun insightful video. I saw that sparkle in Ellen's eye when the lobster hit the pot. I know I need.to get her back to Maine for another dinner. Corey the chef!
Wow that is amazing being actually on lobster boat. Watching them working together as a time so inefficient. The lighthouses are beautiful. Have you ever been in a lighthouse? Ah lol she should have went to her driving course a little smelly. They might have given her pass for now being a true Maine fishing for lobster. Great video thank you for taking me along on this wonderful venture.
Thank you for watching! We have been up in a lighthouse before on the Oregon Coast! And thankfully, Lily got all the smell off before she went to class! 😂
Corey nice seeing your parents in the video. Mom was Camera shy. Your steak looked delicious. The lobster looked good too! Glad your dinner turned out. Hope Lily did well in her Drivers Ed. Class. I wish her well with it.
Sorry guys, I couldn't watch this video. I know this is a long tradition; especially in Maine. There was a time when I was younger when I ate a boiled lobster. It bother me terribly at that time. I haven't eaten one since. The more I learned about how cruel it is to boil an animal alive; the more I can't deal with it. It overwhelms me and makes me feel ill. I'll be back for next weeks video.
I'd be all over that meal but as a freckled skinned red head who get seasick at the port I'd have to pass on the gathering trip! LOL! Hope Lily did well with her Driver's Ed!
I believe it is a strip from a sirloin cut, but I'm not sure. We can only find it in New England and sometimes in random spots across the country. We love having it when we go back home to Maine! Thanks for watching!
That looked like fun! Brought back memories of guided fishing out of Cocodrie LA with crab and shrimp boils. 🦐🦀 That lobster looked so good I drooled on my smartphone! 😍🤤 Question: Are Tri-steaks anything like Tri-Tips?
There's the newly married couple! Sweet, both sets of parents together with y'all for an awesome get together, and meal. Curious....did your parents know one another before you started to date? Fresh seafood from the ocean is the only way to go! I die when I go to a grocery store here in Oklahoma, and you smell the fish as you walk into the store, and the fresh fish is in the back of the store. OMG....old fish!!!! I'm afraid to be sick from fish that's ready to turn. Just can't eat it!! Now if you go fishing in a lake here in Oklahoma the fish are just fine. What can I say....spent many years in Florida, and time in Boston, San Francisco, and Japan. Where we would eat the best fresh seafood all the time. How long will y'all be home?
Yes, Jess and I met when we were 15. We went to high school together and our families attended the same church. They have known each other for many, many years. This was one of the first times my parents had gotten to spend time with Jess' new step-dad. My parents recently moved back to Maine after being in Texas for 10 years. It was a great evening! We almost never eat seafood unless we are in Maine for the same reason! We were in Maine last fall for 6 weeks so that Lily could get her driver's permit! 😃
@@FindingOurSomeday How wonderful y'all have known each other since 15 yeas of age, and your parents knew each other. I hope Lily did good on her driving tests.😊
THAT was interesting to this old Texas boy. I wish you had the time to go slower and explain the process a little better. Why different colored claw thingy's? What were you measuring with that little tool? I didn't quite understand the "clipping" of the lobster and how you identify the "breeders". I'm not a big lobster fan, either, but the trip and process would be something I could do. Great episode, guys. Congratulations to Miss Lilly for getting her license. Thanks for a good time.
Thank you for watching! It is always a tough balance sharing the process but keeping a video moving so it doesn't get boring for people! The different colors were just the bands that they had on the boat. No distinction at all between them. The lobsters that had the hundreds of black eggs on them are called breeders and a lobsterman has to put a notch in the tail fin to label them so they aren't caught by other lobsterman. So if they catch a lobster that is big enough but is notched, they have to throw it back. The tool they were using was to measure the body part of the shell. If it is smaller than the length of the tool, they have to throw it back, but if it is bigger, than they can keep it. Hope that helps! Thanks for being here with us!
@@FindingOurSomeday Thank you! I'm smarter now. Retention is becoming a problem, but I'm smarter today. I hope your two beautiful daughters look back on this part of their lives with love and joy.
Thank you for joining us! We had so much fun! And let us know when you are headed to Maine! Message us on Instagram or Facebook or send us an email and we will send you our favorite places!
No, I still fly over the water all the time. The west coast dip was totally my fault since I turned off all of the sensors to fly faster and took my eyes off it for just a second! 😂
For awhile there when you were saying "Mainers," I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were saying - LOL! I never thought about it before what people from Maine call themselves! I thought you were saying "Maynard" and couldn't figure out why you kept calling each other that! Haha!
I had a childhood friend seining off the Oregon coast and got caught in the line. Went over and under. Worse day ever.. beautiful area! I'd love to go one day!!
Sitting here in Saco, it's 27 out. Thinking this was in July or August lol!! Nothing beats our summers..but man these winters..ugh!! Loved to see this. I did not know we had dolphins in Casco Bay! Love the video guys. Love from Maine.....
Being on the lobster boat looks like so much fun! I noticed the Bose speaker under your TV. Are you able to Bluetooth to the TV for sound? Love your videos and hope to meet you all on the road some day.
It was a great day! We just use the Bose for music. Our TV has great speakers so we don't need it for sound when watching. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Hope to see you out here SOMEDAY, too!
Hi Corey and Jess! I keep forgetting to ask you about your merchandise. I would love to purchase a few more of those t-shirts your daughter created. I love those. I bought a few the last time. I would love to buy some if I could. Let me know if I can. Thank you!
Hey Sherri! Our store will be open again in late Spring for you to be able to grab some It's Better Outside gear! Thank you so much for checking in on that!
Once again thanks so much for sharing your adventures! The lobster excursion looks awesome and the fine dining looked amazing as well! Looking forward to seeing yall real time!
We are happy you are enjoying the videos! We had an awesome time on the water with Fisherman's Catch and look forward to sharing what we are up to now!
Okay guys last video you were in real time in Florida. I know this couldn't be real time because it's the dead of winter in February in Maine. Just like Colorado is. But great videoography as usual really enjoyed it.Thanks for sharing. As always safe and happy travels😘 p.s. Corey your steaks look amazing as always. The lobster looks really good too.😉
That is true! And we also shared that we have a couple more episodes that we wanted to share of our time in Maine last fall and we will be closer to being caught up to real time down here in Florida! Those steaks were delicious! 😃
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for taking us along. Been trying to get to Maine for a long time. Each time we planned, my wife had heart problems and we never made it before she passed. I hope to still get there, maybe this year.
Thank you for being here, Gary. We are so sorry to hear about your wife.❤ I'm sure she would want you to still see it SOMEDAY! We hope you are able to get there this year. We always recommend after 4th of July for best weather and September is our favorite! Send us a message on Facebook or Instagram or email us through our website and we can send you a list of all of our favorite things to do in Maine for your trip! 😊- Jess
@@FindingOurSomeday Places near me that I have never visited is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I am not a sports fan. Another place is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it is only 60 miles from me and would love to see it.
Great video guys i’m from Massachusetts and I live in the biggest fishing port in the United States and I don’t eat seafood either but those steaks look awesome
Ya why is New England the only place to get steak tips? My favorite. I use to do the Lobsters at home (New Hampshire) and it was so messy and then I discovered Market Basket will do them for you, that is winning. In 2019 we did a "Lobster Roll Patrol" and we had lobster rolls all over to see whose was best and then I did them at home and mine were the best actually. LOL I would rather have shrimp or haddock but will eat lobster.
I try to find separations in different legs of our journey. For instance we are calling season 6 our “Portland to Portland season” it basically will cover the entire year of 21. We have a couple more episodes in Maine and and with begin season 7 down in Florida.
Looked like you had a great time out on the lobster boat. I've never tried lobster so don't know if I like it or not, but that steak looked sooooo good. Thanks for sharing loved all the interesting facts very good. Take care ❤❤🇬🇧.
Such a cool experience! It was like an episode of "Dirty Jobs" but a little more fun😉Being blue collar ourselves, we have such respect for anyone who does the hard, messy jobs, they really are the happiest folks👍
We couldn't agree more. People who do what they love and have a passion for are inspiring and motivating and drive us to continue creating content that we hope will do the same! Both Big Bill and Billy are some of the hardest workers we have ever met. It is an honor to know them and call them friends! Thanks for joining us!

Yes! These guys are incredible captains! Dinner was great and the company was event better! Thanks for watching!
I took a boat trip around the island at Acadia NP. I was amazed at the number of floats marking the lobster pots in the bay.
It is crazy to see how many are out there. And a boat trip around Acadia sounds amazing!
Kinders the blend is really good. For steaks try the Fire and smoke society Thundering Longhorn Steak blend. It is incredible! Has a little coffee and chili peppers in it. You can get it at Super Walmarts. Awesome video, keep up the great work.
Thanks for the recommendation! We have tried coffee blends before and they are really good! Thanks for watching and following along with us on our journey!
Heading to Maine this September in our Class C! We can hardly wait! We're celebrating our 25th Anniversary then.
September is the best month to be there! You guys are going to have a blast! Happy Early Anniversary! This year will be our 21st! Thanks so much for watching!
All those kids on the boat and NO LIFEJACKETS!!! Isn’t there a law against that ?
Being a transplanted Mainer, I especially enjoyed this episode. Will visit family on Little Sebago this summer. Keep having fun!
So glad you liked it! Our next video will be on Little Sebago! 😃
Maine is on my bucket list! Never been there. I am a Cali girl through and through, but northern Cali though. There is a significant difference.
Boiled Lobster? Nooooo, put it on the BBQ. Amazing. Great video friends. 🦞
Thanks for watching, guys! We will have to try that! 😃
OH my gosh!! We've been to The Fisherman's Catch a few times!! Friendly people and the best lobster, lobster rolls, fried clams etc etc.... My cousin used to live down the road on Main St. She passed away last year. Lots of great memories with her, her brother and my Aunt. We're from Louisiana and visiting them and eating lobster was a real treat. What a coincidence! Love all of your videos 🥰🙌
Small world! My best friend lives and owns many properties on Main St so we know it well. So glad you have been able to experience one of our favorite places from home! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video and congratulations to your mom on getting married and having a beautiful wedding. That looked like fun going on the boat ride to catch some crab. We had friends that had a fish market and they sold live crab and lobster. I used to go help deliver the cooked ones to people up there where they lived. Not sure where they got the crabs or lobster. The fish cane from Michigan I think and other states. You all looked like you had fun in the boat.
I love how you cook the steaks and I like the recipe for the potatoes I will have to try that. I also love doing baked potatoes on my smoker just rub down a little bit of olive oil and a lot of black pepper.
Thank you! We do baked potatoes on the smoker sometimes, too!
Loved it. I also adore lobster. But cost keeps me to once a year. Enjoyed the trip, thanks guys!
Thanks for watching and once a year makes it a real treat!
You really know how to torture a person that loves loves loves fresh seafood but is landlocked in the middle of a desert. And people wonder why once a month I will drive over 200 miles to go to Joe's Crab Shack to pig out on seafood, then turn around and drive back home. I have always wanted to go to Maine, such a beautiful state, especially the coastal area. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience and the information about fishing for lobster. You have some great friends that would take you all out while they were busy working. Can't wait to see what else you have to share.
Really hope you are able to make it to Maine SOMEDAY soon! You will love the seafood! And you are right, we have incredible friends! Looking forward to sharing more! Thanks for watching! 🙏
The Proposal reference did it for me. YES
Worked on a charter fishing boat and it was hard days i can't imagine lobstering everyday. We'll be up there in August so save me a lobster or 2. Great footage and can't wait to try the Surf 'N Turf myself.
It is serious work for sure! You guys are going to be up there during our favorite time in Maine! Hope you have the best time!
Will have to check out the Fisherman’s Catch this summer- spend a lot of time over on Sebago so always looking for a new resturant for a rainy day.
Loved the donut shop you went to in Portland on one of your trips home.
Fun view of Portland from the water.
Please do and tell them that Finding Our Someday sent you! Sebago is where we used to have our boat and we stay on Little Sebago whenever we are back home! 😃Tony's Donuts is the best and always one of our first stops whenever we are home!
Man, this was good vlogging. Felt like I was right there on the water. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much for joining us! These are the comments that we love the most as we always hope that our audience feels like they are right there with us!
@Finding Our Someday, do you know how all the fisherman determine where they can drop their trap lines without stepping on one another’s toes? Do they do and annual draw or do fisherman have to purchase licenses for rights to certain drop areas or is it just first come first serve? I hope my question makes sense.
Those steak tips looked amazing! You need to do a Cooking with Corey episode!
Thanks guys for a fun insightful video. I saw that sparkle in Ellen's eye when the lobster hit the pot. I know I need.to get her back to Maine for another dinner. Corey the chef!
Thanks for being here with us! And yes, you do need to get her back to Maine! 😉
Try cauliflower mashed potatoes in the insta pot.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Wow that is amazing being actually on lobster boat. Watching them working together as a time so inefficient. The lighthouses are beautiful. Have you ever been in a lighthouse? Ah lol she should have went to her driving course a little smelly. They might have given her pass for now being a true Maine fishing for lobster. Great video thank you for taking me along on this wonderful venture.
Thank you for watching! We have been up in a lighthouse before on the Oregon Coast! And thankfully, Lily got all the smell off before she went to class! 😂
Corey nice seeing your parents in the video. Mom was Camera shy. Your steak looked delicious. The lobster looked good too! Glad your dinner turned out. Hope Lily did well in her Drivers Ed. Class. I wish her well with it.
What a beautiful state. I've been in So Cal my entire life and never been east of Arizona. I need to get out more
Hope you are able to get to Maine SOMEDAY soon!
Sorry guys, I couldn't watch this video. I know this is a long tradition; especially in Maine. There was a time when I was younger when I ate a boiled lobster. It bother me terribly at that time. I haven't eaten one since. The more I learned about how cruel it is to boil an animal alive; the more I can't deal with it. It overwhelms me and makes me feel ill. I'll be back for next weeks video.
No worries! We will see you next week!👍
I'd be all over that meal but as a freckled skinned red head who get seasick at the port I'd have to pass on the gathering trip! LOL! Hope Lily did well with her Driver's Ed!
Definitely no fun to be on a boat if you get sea sick! Lily did great at driver’s ed! Thanks for watching!
Surf n Turf looks so good.
It was delicious! And with the best company!
Awesome video. What are steak tips though? I don’t know that cut.
I believe it is a strip from a sirloin cut, but I'm not sure. We can only find it in New England and sometimes in random spots across the country. We love having it when we go back home to Maine! Thanks for watching!
Yes, sour cream in mashed potatoes are the BEST!
That looked like fun! Brought back memories of guided fishing out of Cocodrie LA with crab and shrimp boils. 🦐🦀 That lobster looked so good I drooled on my smartphone! 😍🤤
Question: Are Tri-steaks anything like Tri-Tips?
That was awesome. Being out on the water is so exillerating. I love the fisherman stories. ❤️
There is nothing like it! Fishing in Alaska has been one of my favorite experiences on the road!
There's the newly married couple! Sweet, both sets of parents together with y'all for an awesome get together, and meal. Curious....did your parents know one another before you started to date?
Fresh seafood from the ocean is the only way to go! I die when I go to a grocery store here in Oklahoma, and you smell the fish as you walk into the store, and the fresh fish is in the back of the store. OMG....old fish!!!! I'm afraid to be sick from fish that's ready to turn. Just can't eat it!! Now if you go fishing in a lake here in Oklahoma the fish are just fine. What can I say....spent many years in Florida, and time in Boston, San Francisco, and Japan. Where we would eat the best fresh seafood all the time.
How long will y'all be home?
Yes, Jess and I met when we were 15. We went to high school together and our families attended the same church. They have known each other for many, many years. This was one of the first times my parents had gotten to spend time with Jess' new step-dad. My parents recently moved back to Maine after being in Texas for 10 years. It was a great evening! We almost never eat seafood unless we are in Maine for the same reason! We were in Maine last fall for 6 weeks so that Lily could get her driver's permit! 😃
@@FindingOurSomeday How wonderful y'all have known each other since 15 yeas of age, and your parents knew each other.
I hope Lily did good on her driving tests.😊
THAT was interesting to this old Texas boy. I wish you had the time to go slower and explain the process a little better. Why different colored claw thingy's? What were you measuring with that little tool? I didn't quite understand the "clipping" of the lobster and how you identify the "breeders". I'm not a big lobster fan, either, but the trip and process would be something I could do. Great episode, guys. Congratulations to Miss Lilly for getting her license. Thanks for a good time.
Thank you for watching! It is always a tough balance sharing the process but keeping a video moving so it doesn't get boring for people! The different colors were just the bands that they had on the boat. No distinction at all between them. The lobsters that had the hundreds of black eggs on them are called breeders and a lobsterman has to put a notch in the tail fin to label them so they aren't caught by other lobsterman. So if they catch a lobster that is big enough but is notched, they have to throw it back. The tool they were using was to measure the body part of the shell. If it is smaller than the length of the tool, they have to throw it back, but if it is bigger, than they can keep it. Hope that helps! Thanks for being here with us!
@@FindingOurSomeday Thank you! I'm smarter now. Retention is becoming a problem, but I'm smarter today. I hope your two beautiful daughters look back on this part of their lives with love and joy.
Yall are the best! When I watch your episodes I feel like I've been there! Loved this one!
We love getting comments like this as that is exactly how we want you to feel! Thank you for watching and joining us on our adventures!
We love y’all!!! Great episode! We want to visit. Have to hit you up for advice when we are ready. Thx from San Antonio Texas
Thank you for joining us! We had so much fun! And let us know when you are headed to Maine! Message us on Instagram or Facebook or send us an email and we will send you our favorite places!
Wonderful once again... I was wondering if Corey is ever scared of losing the drone in the water, after the west coast
No, I still fly over the water all the time. The west coast dip was totally my fault since I turned off all of the sensors to fly faster and took my eyes off it for just a second! 😂
For awhile there when you were saying "Mainers," I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were saying - LOL! I never thought about it before what people from Maine call themselves! I thought you were saying "Maynard" and couldn't figure out why you kept calling each other that! Haha!
By the way, I'm a Wisconsinite, or more accurately perhaps, a Cheesehead, or sometimes we even call ourselves Badgers.
I had a childhood friend seining off the Oregon coast and got caught in the line. Went over and under. Worse day ever.. beautiful area! I'd love to go one day!!
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. It is such dangerous work.
@@FindingOurSomeday I treasure every fish I buy.
I have some east coast relatives and a roofing friend. Can't wait to come visit. Beautiful area. Thanks for showing us around. 🦞
Definitely need to get up there and check it out! Not much beats the Maine coast in the summer! Thanks for joining us!
Another awesome adventure. I sure miss New England. Homesick.
Thanks for watching! New England is so beautiful in the summer! 😉
Come to Louisiana Corey. I know now that you will love eating crawfish here!
I had a buddy from the Navy whose family lived in New Orleans and we had some great crawfish!
That meal looked absolutely delicious. Great video.
It was perfect and so was the company! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sitting here in Saco, it's 27 out. Thinking this was in July or August lol!! Nothing beats our summers..but man these winters..ugh!! Loved to see this. I did not know we had dolphins in Casco Bay! Love the video guys. Love from Maine.....
Thank you! 😃3rd week of august . Yes , the winters…That’s ultimately one of the main reasons why we left Maine.
Now I'm just darn hungry. Need to be in Maine, ASAP. Great footage.
That dinner was so good!
Kinders is a bay area California thing. Are they selling kinders stuff nationwide now? They are about 20 kinders butcher shops around me where I live.
What fun! That is a lot of work for lobster. Dinner looks so good!
It is an insane amount of work and pretty dangerous as well. Dinner was awesome and the company was even better!
Memories were made. Thanks
That is always the goal! Thanks for watching!
Maine is Lobster heaven ❤️ loved Bite into Main at Portland Head Light. So delicious. Had to have it again at Alagash Brewing Co..
Surf and Turf, does not get better than that!! Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
It was a great dinner with even better company! Thanks for joining us!
Being on the lobster boat looks like so much fun! I noticed the Bose speaker under your TV. Are you able to Bluetooth to the TV for sound? Love your videos and hope to meet you all on the road some day.
It was a great day! We just use the Bose for music. Our TV has great speakers so we don't need it for sound when watching. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Hope to see you out here SOMEDAY, too!
Hi Corey and Jess!
I keep forgetting to ask you about your merchandise. I would love to purchase a few more of those t-shirts your daughter created. I love those. I bought a few the last time. I would love to buy some if I could. Let me know if I can. Thank you!
Hey Sherri! Our store will be open again in late Spring for you to be able to grab some It's Better Outside gear! Thank you so much for checking in on that!
Those steak tips look good. What cut are they?
They are called Steak Tips as the cut in New England. I believe they are a strip of a sirloin cut. They are delicious!
Makes me wish I could get back to Westport Island.
Hope you are able to go back SOMEDAY soon! 😃
What part of the cow does steak tips come from? Loved this video.
Now you need to come down here to Louisiana so we can boil y’all some crawfish.
Love the Surf and Turf... do you dip in vinegar too?
We don't. Most of our family just does butter and sour cream!
Would be a good thing if you guys wore Life Jackets, especially for the children!
Once again thanks so much for sharing your adventures! The lobster excursion looks awesome and the fine dining looked amazing as well! Looking forward to seeing yall real time!
We are happy you are enjoying the videos! We had an awesome time on the water with Fisherman's Catch and look forward to sharing what we are up to now!
Someone got to be the smelly kid in class. Looked so much fun and the food made me hungry.
She scrubbed really good before going! 😂And it was such a good dinner!
Looks pretty darn good to me !
It was all delicious! 😃
Okay guys last video you were in real time in Florida. I know this couldn't be real time because it's the dead of winter in February in Maine. Just like Colorado is. But great videoography as usual really enjoyed it.Thanks for sharing. As always safe and happy travels😘 p.s. Corey your steaks look amazing as always. The lobster looks really good too.😉
That is true! And we also shared that we have a couple more episodes that we wanted to share of our time in Maine last fall and we will be closer to being caught up to real time down here in Florida! Those steaks were delicious! 😃
@@FindingOurSomeday oh okay gotya! My mistake I think I remember that now 😆
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for taking us along. Been trying to get to Maine for a long time. Each time we planned, my wife had heart problems and we never made it before she passed. I hope to still get there, maybe this year.
Thank you for being here, Gary. We are so sorry to hear about your wife.❤ I'm sure she would want you to still see it SOMEDAY! We hope you are able to get there this year. We always recommend after 4th of July for best weather and September is our favorite! Send us a message on Facebook or Instagram or email us through our website and we can send you a list of all of our favorite things to do in Maine for your trip! 😊- Jess
@@FindingOurSomeday Places near me that I have never visited is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I am not a sports fan. Another place is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it is only 60 miles from me and would love to see it.
WHAT AN AWESOME TRIP HOME
It was the best! Still more to share coming up next week!
I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF GOING OUT ON THE OCEAN
It is the best! Hope you are able to get out there SOMEDAY soon!
Fun video. Thank you for sharing great videos. Blessings
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
Steak and lobster 🦞, yes please. Now I'm hungry.
Good combination! It was a perfect ending to our adventure!
Great video guys i’m from Massachusetts and I live in the biggest fishing port in the United States and I don’t eat seafood either but those steaks look awesome
Hey Kurt! Thanks for being here with us! The steak tips were great for those who weren't interested in the lobster! 😉
Nice Lily’s taking drivers training. Wow! I can’t believe she’s driving age already. Time shire does fly with kids getting older fast. Too fast! Lol!
Ya why is New England the only place to get steak tips? My favorite. I use to do the Lobsters at home (New Hampshire) and it was so messy and then I discovered Market Basket will do them for you, that is winning. In 2019 we did a "Lobster Roll Patrol" and we had lobster rolls all over to see whose was best and then I did them at home and mine were the best actually. LOL I would rather have shrimp or haddock but will eat lobster.
Not sure but we love to get them whenever we are back home! The Lobster Roll Patrol sounds awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
What a fun adventure. It looked like a wonderful meal.
It was delicious! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Wow. The food looked amazing. Safe travels. Cheers
It was really good! The company was even better! Thanks for watching!
How do you determine the length of a “season” of FOS?
I try to find separations in different legs of our journey. For instance we are calling season 6 our “Portland to Portland season” it basically will cover the entire year of 21. We have a couple more episodes in Maine and and with begin season 7 down in Florida.
Looked like a blast!
It was so much fun! Thanks for watching!
@@FindingOurSomeday and those steak tips look delicious 🤤
Looked like you had a great time out on the lobster boat. I've never tried lobster so don't know if I like it or not, but that steak looked sooooo good. Thanks for sharing loved all the interesting facts very good. Take care ❤❤🇬🇧.
Congratulations on your mom's wedding!
Thank you so much!🙏
I USED TO TALK TO TH3 FISHERMEN WHEN THEY CAME IN TO DOCK AFTER FISHING IN ALASKA I LOVED IT
Getting out on the water in Alaska is magic!
2min after getting on the boat dude is telling shark stories 😂😂😂 Great video guys!
These guys are hard core! 😂 Such a fun day on the water!
Wow so glad we found you guys look at the fun you create.
So glad to have you here! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Yummy lobster!
So glad you’re finally Mainers!
Love you guys! ❤️
So are we! 😂Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
As always, GREAT VIDEO 🧡
Thank you so much for watching!
Such a cool experience! It was like an episode of "Dirty Jobs" but a little more fun😉Being blue collar ourselves, we have such respect for anyone who does the hard, messy jobs, they really are the happiest folks👍
We couldn't agree more. People who do what they love and have a passion for are inspiring and motivating and drive us to continue creating content that we hope will do the same! Both Big Bill and Billy are some of the hardest workers we have ever met. It is an honor to know them and call them friends! Thanks for joining us!
I would put on PFDs on the kids at least. Glad you had fun.
State of Maine law is 10 and under, so they were all old enough and have all grown up on the water! 😃
What a grate video. Thanks for Sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
