So what we're encountering Is we're seeing a lot of sight fish But man, that's about the only way you can catch them. It's not uncommon this time of year You get a you get a big push Big wave and fish are so fired up and then you you just have days where you see them up there But they're real skittish. You got to spend a lot of time on the beds We're just not seeing any big ones that are worth spending a lot of time on But fishing around the banks where you think they would be like going in Just hanging they're they're not We're not getting bit that way. It seems like sight fishing is the only way we can get bit Luckily, we've got calming winds very clear water. So we do have some opportunities But it's a sight fishing kind of day speaking of sight fishing Got a good one. This one's really locked on dude This one this one hasn't moved at all He is super locked on. I think he's taking the the deep nap Looks like a giant bass right here. This is a gym. See it? That's a giant fish. Look at that. That's a bass Yeah, that is a bass. Yeah Oh, do you see that look it's oh, that's your bait. Yeah, that's my bait. Oh my god Okay, that is a giant fish. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a big one. Look at that. That's a that's a bass That's a big one. You can see the see the pale green like a greenish tint. Yeah Yeah, this one slid off too Timmy got it. Some good healthy ones in here. Oh Bad fish nice one Another victim of the jig This fish is all over my jig Just took it. Oh Took my trailer Man, this is the deepest bed that I've fished all year Situation that me and Robert are encountering here today. So we've got a lot of males pushing up The females seem really tricky to catch like they're just hovering. They're not really coming to the beds Could be in the next day or two But we've been looking for a good deep better It's clear water all day. This is It's pretty decent one right here There we go Full suction chunky male May See buddy something special is happening right now folks We're in the afternoon And we've seen our first female Move up onto a bed. This is the bed that we were at this morning. Saw a male no female around Now she's coming in we've seen this all morning where female like huge fish eight plus pounds fish Are just on the outskirts and they're cruising around I would show you guys with the camera, but it's too it's too muddy But we're seeing males way more fish come in here and starting to get set up This is one of those things where if you see a spot like this a shallow spot, and it's kind of not good in the morning But you see fish That kind of want to be in there. They could be on beds that afternoon. They don't want to eat a wacky rig Unfortunately, we've flicked around wacky rigs till we're blue in the face We could literally see we could see dozens of fish start coming into this cut Into this backwater and and start setting up Oh, dude, this guy's about to eat my jig. He's on something right here. He got it What the heck? I don't even know what he was on he was like on a stick That was what that was one of those we kept seeing circle He just decided to plop down on a stick all of a sudden He went nose down on it. That's crazy What a healthy fish, man Dude buddy pretty cool fish The afternoon report Robin ended up catching a good fish off the bed We finally found a big female that had come in and wanted to play ball But we're going out again tomorrow. We're camping here. This is camp So We got the we got the big rig here I've got the sleeping pad in the back And we're about to cook up the catfish that I caught the other day. So you've hopefully already watched that video But we're gonna get a little fire going And this is my favorite my favorite little buddy of all time for fires I need to go on another bush crafting quest to get some more because I'm almost out But this Right here. I wish you could smell it. It's really dark. I wish you could smell it because this Smells like the forest of colorado This is a dead this came off a dead tree the dead pine tree And all the sap it dripped to the bottom and I picked it up And the dried resin is in here and it just creates fires I mean, it is the best. It's the best natural fire stuff and I've got I've got some ash from the house fun fact White ash is what they make baseball bats out of and then we got some oak as well So we're gonna have a fire going we're gonna do a little cooking All right, you guys see how that's lit All the oils in that are just going to flame out and that's gonna keep my My fire going here Because my wood's wet that's gonna get us popping Probably only need one piece because that stuff is just so good A little teepee here around it Should get us going to rise again And boy, did we have a nice rise this morning literally looking at the sunrise. This is my first night Sleeping just in the bear truck bed. So we got our our new Chevy here without the truck cap All right, I was a little worried Slept like a baby perfect camping weather Right around 49 50 degrees. I really want to encourage everybody to to go camp And if you're going fishing do camp and why you're fishing Because it's just so much better. I'll give you three big reasons why I love to do it So number one, well, it's economical You're spending way less money than you would at a hotel or a airbnb or something like that number two It's efficient. So if you're able to camp where you're fishing I mean look at me right here I'm right by the ramp. That's not always the case, but it's it's super efficient and three I suppose is just the freedom So when you camp when you fish Your ability to go to any lake Basically any lake is there You're not restricted by well, there's nowhere to stay out here You can adventure where you want and usually there's a camping A place where you can truck camp a truck camp around there makes it so awesome All right, we got some coffee heating up right here. I'm going to show you guys the biggest hack of all here in a second We got some coffee heating up that we've got a tend to turn that down a little bit. It's a little hot The key to getting a good espresso in the outdoors you want to heat your water first Get it not to boil them, but just hot then you put in Your beans Then you put your lid on that way. You're not burning your beans. You're not getting any burn bean flavor I'm just full of tips today. Let me show you the biggest hack of all my gosh Because what I was getting at with with truck camping I'm encouraging you guys to do it, but the biggest drawback is Sleeping so I think that's what holds a lot of us back from from going camping or truck camping or whatever Is just the sleeping aspect. You don't get as good asleep And after days of doing it, you're just tired and you're like, oh, I can't wait to go home in my own bed But if you can figure out How can you sleep well in the outdoors? Then you're opening up more doors See see how that's going. So let me show you guys something that I have recently come upon I feel like I have got the situation dialed What's not dialed right now is I got water coming out of my coffee deal. We've we've broken a seal on this puppy Might have to get a new ring for my biletti. It's working It's working now. It's coming out, but uh Got some down at the bottom that's never happened to me before We gotta we gotta just let this happen though before I move on to this the sleeping tip What you guys are gonna want to hear Do that beautiful bean footage So this is my sleep setup y'all Let's start with the pillow. That's a temp erpedic pillow, which I love Didn't love it at first. Now I have to have it That helps me sleep on my side All my back doesn't matter. I can sleep either way in the outdoors with the four inch pad So there's a four inch pad in this canvas cutter You don't have to get a canvas cutter, but that is a four inch foam pad in there That I have put a fleece blanket on top of So this is really What I call truck camping weather, you know 40s basically 30 to 60 degrees at night when start to get above that and get a little hot But I like that fleece blanket under there Because if it gets a little too hot sometimes I'll just go with the with the blanket But let me tell you when it's a little colder This new sleeping bag I I've slept in it for a week now I've got about seven days logged in it had another trip where I slept in this thing and I was hot at first It was uncomfortable. I was like, I don't like this, but then I unzipped it And this sleeping bag right here has been This is the best sleeping bag I have ever had And I've got some other zero degrees I've got some really light ones for backpack camping, you know hunting type gear really light stuff This one's sort of a medium weight. It's a zero degree And it is the warmest thing I've ever had. This is a this is a north face This is part of the mountain dew outdoor gear Um, they gave us these because gugans partnered with mountain dew and I was like, I really don't have any north face stuff You know, I've heard it's pretty good. This this is amazing So this one is called the trail light zero degree The cool thing about it is you can unzip it about three quarters of the way So what I do is I tuck my feet in there. It's getting a little hot out here So what I do is I tuck my feet into this end right here I leave this part open Like a big flap and just drape it over me like a comforter And having your feet in there Keeps the sleeping bag from you know binding up and that's one of my biggest problems with sleeping bags Is you start rolling around in there. I like to move a lot at night and then they get just get like You just feel like you're wrapped up and it's not comfortable this thing I can roll around and the whole top is open And it's just draped over me. It creates this perfect warm air Insulator, I don't know how to describe it, but it's the best sleeping bag I've ever had And I have slept like a baby in that system guys. Now, there was some dew last night No pun intended, but there's like water on my sleeping bag From all of the moisture that was in the air didn't have a truck cap There was also no bugs. So it was perfect to sleep outside So if that is something that is holding you back from going camping Try you a good pad a little fleece on it Get your pillow from home your pillow that you like And a and a good sleeping bag that you're comfortable with Figure out your system that works for you Stay in the outdoors. It's just good for the soul Woke up with the sunrise and the birds tripping kidding me All right, something really interesting just happened Well a couple interesting things. I forgot my toothbrush Which is pretty unfortunate I've done this once before I just kind of prayed the end of a mosquito stick You'd be surprised how well it actually works My teeth feel amazing right now. I'm just not sure I took some fresh mosquito You know mosquito thorns or poisonous I'm really I'm really sure if you're supposed to chew on like fresh green mosquito Let me know down in the comments. The other thing interesting that happened Is I saw Rob walking away from my truck my truck And it appeared that he had just put a toilet in the back of my truck For what reason I don't know we're about to find out Robert I have like a valid explanation why there was a Porcelain toilet It's not porcelain. Is that porcelain? No, it's not porcelain. It's plastic Okay, there's why it was a plastic toilet being Carried to my truck. So I I tested it out Okay, wait This is this is the toilet out of your camper. Yeah And it wasn't installed. It's just kind of in there. Yeah. Yeah, it's it doesn't it's tankless It's got a little thing and it spins I was testing it out and I'm going to tell you right now. You do not want to leave Human feces inside of the toilet for long periods of time Now I had thought okay that Well, it's it's vacuum sealed in here But I didn't put uh two and two together that there's a solvent type deal that you put in with it That breaks it down. Well, it continues to break it down and breaks it down until it's It's it's exposed. Yeah. Oh, yeah So it broke it down, man All right, so what is the time frame where you got a I know I just because I took it out because it's not inside the toilet So I took the entire bag out and I'm just Airing out the toilet I want to make sure that the toilet because you know you always say Sun it will kill all microbytes something right. Yeah, okay. All right. All right, so you're using science I mean Using science to eliminate the spells Well, that was it. I was just interesting to watch from afar I was like, I think that's a I didn't get an actual toilet He's somehow carrying it. It looked like a porcelain toilet toilet you're carrying across the park a lot It's amazing. It's an amazing scene Anyway, uh, we're out here on the water now and our goal is to try to catch some fish So We're gonna try to do that Like that one that was stuck in back here one problem is it's gonna be so hard to see him What in god's green Eric do I have to do get a hook in you? Throw a tiny tiny tiny thing I got you buddy. I got you buddy You finally got caught Yeah, you ever seen such a long small fish Look how long he is dude. Look at that. He's peeing All right, see you buddy a boy over here. He's hitting soprano. We're out here singing songs because uh It's fishing his It's got one on a bed I've I've seen this many many times guys with fishing where there's a there's a A pre spawn thing that happens where they eat and then there's a Spawning thing that happens where they don't eat like there's days you can go out and flick a weightless bed around While you're looking for beds and you're catching them while you're you know, just casting out into deeper water or whatever This is literally How hardly get a bite if we are not bed fishing. It's not just us to talk to other buddies He's gonna eat right now. He's gonna eat. He's out of bed. That's the only way it's the only way But thank you guys for tuning into today's Camping fishing experience. Hope you learned a little something on camping Uh site fishing it is what it is We're gonna try to catch them any way we can. This is the only way we can right now And stay tuned for the next video because I think we're going to be searching out some properties So I'm gonna keep my peepers on keep looking in this water for some big bass And y'all stay tuned for another outdoor video coming up soon I wish you well.
