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.

Luckly he didnt here a dog barking or a cat..

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.

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 !

So good to see you out on the water again..l I appreciate you being here sharing what you do. Your knowledge is essential for the serious and dedicated fisherman.

I haven't gone fishing in a long time, not since I was really young, so I don't really know much about fishing, but I really love this guy's videos.

I don’t care what anyone says.... you’re the OG of fishing vloggers from The Bay. I appreciate the time and effort as well as the knowledge you put in the videos. 🍻

17:20 You know Matts one of the guys when he just keeps the tent set up and rides the boat chillin like it's nothing 😂

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!

I am so proud of you! I was there when you started with the poke polin'-now you have over a million subs! God bless you my brother! keep up the good work.

have to be careful in tomales Bay there's a lot of eel grass that will wrap around your ropes and sink your buoys too

"dude they're right there, they're right there,,," *Sniff* "oh ma god that crab smells really good"

What a rollercoaster of emotions near the end. I felt sad about the lost pod and like a miracle it pops up. 🍻👍😱😆

Nice video Matt. Tomales Bay is awesome but the mouth by Dillon Beach can be dangerous and the tide rips to much for a good crab catch.

Matts this was a fantastic video. It made me laugh a few times and I appreciate your genuine enthusiasm. I remember fishing that same area as a boy in my grandpas boat. Good memories and thank you for this.

He just seems so happy with his life I love it he seems so calm and happy yk I want a life like that♡︎

I like the way you toosed em crab back in the water..😂😂

Man this was an amazing video, watched your channel for awhile and gotta say, you killed it! Catching crab right out the sea, camping and cooking. The fisherman’s life is the good life!

It's great to see you back. What a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful fish peacefully jumping near the surface? I could eat those. The sounds of frogs peacefully croaking in the background? Sounds tasty. Man I love this channel lmao.

HEY, Thanks for all your cool vids. 👍

Hats off to him. awesome job. I really like his work.

Thrilling videography. Really appreciate your work, your skills, your joy and gratitude. Keep it up.

"All that... It's current..." Why yes, that is an accurate statement. 😆 Idk why but that made me laugh

this man is living his best life lmao he looks so happy

this guy hilarious lmao... seals nonchalantly swimmin bye and a random laundry buoy appearing beside him

The complexity added lots of interest for me; boating, fishing, camping, crabbing, hazards, safety, casting, preserved bait, net casting for herring, nice job! The frost and morning dew...I’m almost there!

You got an amazing personality on camera, glad you found success doing something you love

I get so excited when u post, most relaxing videos

Thanks for another awesome video production full of very useful information!

Prob my new favorite video. These adventure style vids where you go out and try something new are the best. Informative, but also a good watch. Thanks man!

If that small boat gets stuck on land from high tide you’d probably be able to get it back in the water with small logs underneath it to roll it

Once I get out of the military I want to do something like this for a month or two

I use a "running line“ anchor system for my boat. It goes: Anchor, chain, big stainless ring, long loop of rope (maybe 120ft). Then you set the achor when you come into the beach, tie the boat on to the loop of rope and then pull it out using the other side of the loop. Then just pin the rope at the beach. There are videos on it

I love watching him yeet the crabs back into the ocean. "Don't need her" YEET.

This was such and awesome video to watch with my kids. I grew up and they grew up going to this bay to crab. I have lost pots the same way you did. My dad, son and I camped on that first beach you were going to camp on during one opening Dungeness season. We recently moved out of state so this was very nostalgic for us and as always you knocked it out with your video, commentary, and positive attitude.

LOL if that last crab pot drifting by next to you isn’t some divine intervention, I don’t know what the hell is

Bro I’m glad I wasn’t the only one I see the eyes😂

so the best west coast (higher tides) dingy anchor is as follows: 50-60 feet of bungee cord tied to the anchor, hooked to a stern clip or cleat. Then a 50-60 ft bow line clipped to the bow clip with a second anchor. you drop the bungee stern anchor at about 60-75 feet off shore, gun the boat in, and have the bow line anchor ready to jump off and set. After you unload, let the bungee pull the boat off shore so the waves dont work it. When you are ready to leave you can pull the bow line into shore with the bungees slack. best rig ever.

I love the crab-cam, and I appreciate your respect for fishing regulations. Great video, thanks!

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