Solo Overnight Paddling - Scalloping in Florida
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Scalloping in Florida is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. In this adventure I find myself camped on a uninhabited island in a popular scalloping are, St. Joeseph Bay. Just east of Mexico Beach Florida which was devastated by hurricane Micheal just weeks after I was here....

What would it take to get you to try a raw scallop????
Not much
I don't know though.
I would have to try it
That sounds like something that might be tasty, after a six pack
I'd try it. Not much different than eating raw oysters?
Wild hog jaw bone. Pig Island apparently got it's name for a reason.😉
That's probably the right answer ;)
justjay justjay or deer
I was thinking the same thing soon as I saw it. I said that's a wild hog jawbone! 🤔😅😅✌🏿
Man, I'm so glad I came across your channel. Love your attitude and positive energy!! Those crab traps, lol... fun stuff! Out here in California, always planned to do some diving but, unfortunately in 2015 I had 2 brain surgeries and they told me I could never go diving again, or swimming underwater due to pressure on my skull possibly causing a seizure or stroke. But you're very inspiring! I may ease my way back into the water. Even if it just some shallow stuff in our rivers, lakes, or along the coast! #Blessings to you, man! Keep up the good work and videos!🙏🏾✌🏿👍🏿
I'm glad you came across the channel as well! Yea, ease back into it. Lots of adventure Out There!
You make it back in the water yet my friend? I'd say you'd definitely be safe for some shallow water fun as pressure doesnt build much in the first 10-15 ft.....i have countless friends who have been told they'd never do this or that again in their whole life and a couple years they were back doing what they love so dont take any doctors word as gospel....good luck I hope your conditions allow a safe return to the wild!
gather some sea grass in your mesh bag, put the bag on top of the crabs and it will keep them cool, calm, and hydrated fresh more easily until you get home/camp. sea-grass or seaweed is a natural insulator... splash it ever so often with saltwater and your good for 3 -4 hours...add a wet towel over top 4-5 hrs live (just keep splashing them) 30 yrs+ experience, I'm 40 y.o.
Oh dang, what awesome advice Patrick! I get a lot of tips from folks, this one I won't forget! Thanks for sharing!
Now that’s one loaded down SUP! Thanks again for saving my traps Trip!!
I know he looked like a crab boat captain
Yes sir! Happy to do it man, thanks for helping me make an adventure happen!
Kinda cool to see a pine tree so close to the water.
Yea, I've always wondered how they can stand the salt....
Love your adventures. Hope you stay safe during the storms
Thanks Wayne! We turned out pretty good compared to others....
Hi, Trip 👍🏻👍🏻 Belated Happy Birthday to you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Awesome paddle board and hunting for scallops adventure. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Blessed Sunday !!! Danny
Thankya Danny! Glad you enjoyed it!
That shipwreck is dope! 👍🏿😅 Hammock on that would be EPIC!! #Adventure #Explore
yea for sure!!!!
Even after the hurricane and almost 2 years later it is still there.
Trip I love your videos I'm from wales we don't get the weather you do and the water is ain't as clear as it is where you are but that don't bother me😀I'm getting a sup board soon they looks loads of fun!! Keep making your videos they cheer me up on these cold days thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoy the video way over there! Oh yea, grab you a SUP and have some good times bud. I'll keep filming!
Hello luv your adventures
Thankya Omar!
Glad you got to shoot this video before the storm!
Me too Charles... One day when things open back up down there I'll go investigate the changed landscape
Great video as always. I used to scallop here as a kid with my dad.
Thanks Webb! Great area to spend some time.....
More likely the smaller cousin of the hammerhead called the bonnethead shark. They are frequently caught inshore and are supposed to be good eating.
Oh cool! Good info!
We’re gonna be on St George Island July 9-16. If you’re in the area I’d be glad to buy you some oysters and a beer at Paddy’s.
Hey Trip -- excellent video as usual. Wanna send some of your warm weather up here to Nova Scotia? :)
Thankya! Haha, i wish I could bud!
Been waiting for this video! We saw your truck at the kayak launch, and camped on the same island! not sure if it was the same night. We camped on the end of the island out from that sailboat and too ate raw scallops! They were actually good and sweet. Day two we found the spot and harvested a few gallons but they were picked through. Also got into a school of redfish on the backside of the island. Great video! Next year I'm going early and cashing in!
Haha! Yep, I think I would have seen yall if it was the same night.... I think I'll be heading back next year as well. I wonder if the new Eagle Pass that Hurricane Michael made will have much effect on the ecosystem?
Great video mate from Australia 🇦🇺!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Trip, Thanks for the great entertainment! I just want to throw out an invite if you’re ever in the St Petersburg area. If you are missing sailing I would happily have you guys out for a sail! Keep up the great vibes and videos!
Hey Ed! You are very welcome! Oh wow, what a great offer that is..... Maybe one day I might take you up on it!
its a yetti mandabal a hog im pretty sure look at the teeth flat grinders its more than likely a pig skunk ape lol mayby a life jacket pallet on the deck? just thinking and looking around the boat
Gotcha, I'l take your word for it ;) What is a life jacket pallet? Never heard of one of those....
you’re a laugh to watch.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Took my center console there a few years ago. Sharks galore!
Yea.... There are a few ;)
Cool. I used to pry scallops from San Diego bay bridge
Until fish and game enlightened me to the bag limit. I was young and stupid
I paid off the fine by cleaning the judges office. I found a silver dollar and gave it to him while polishing his oak desk. He thanked me and gave a job recommendation with his letterhead.
Funny how things turn out.
Awesome! We have all been young and dumb lol Oh how cool! I guess it worked out in the end.
The abandoned sailboat reminds me of the movie Ghost Ship
Haha! It is kinda eerie getting onboard.....
When I was a kid my father taught me that if we ran out of TP (and it has happened!) to use leaves for taking a dump. Use green leaves but make sure you know which are which. The last thing you need to do is pick up some poison oak leaves or something! You can use brown leaves but they break up easily. Then you have all that water to clean up, just in case something goes horribly wrong.
Yep, I've used many many leaves over the years when I was younger. They were my last resort ; )
I never said it would be like Charmin, I only said it would work!
good stuff bro great part of our state i say is highlyunderlooked
Thanks! yep, I would agree... Fabulous area!
Do yo thang playa!
Yes sir!
My birthday is also August 22nd. Happy Belated Birthday!
Sweet! Happy one to you too!
Happy birthday 🎂trip
Thankya!
Great video trip. I’m guessing it looks nothing like this anymore. I’ve been slow to watch this one because of Michael. Looking to get up there and help rebuild. Saw the live video on Facebook, never thought about eating them raw, but I eat oysters raw. Why not!
Thanks Mark and you are right, it looks a bit different now. But a year from now we can look at it like a new beginning maybe? Heck yea! They were great raw!
if I had to guess I'd say that jawbone was from a deer, but I'm not familiar with what species are down your way.
Yea, we certainly have deer... WHo knows lol
Trip is not camping that boat is his air b&b for the night.dont let him fool you. Awesome gwtting on the boat.i kayak all the time around abandoned boats and never thought about doing that.
You got me figured out! Well, it can be a little sketchy but it's an adventure!
Hey trip thanks a lot for answering. Hey I got a pretty awesome idea for a video, hopefully you can consider it. A cool video would be to ask some of your patreon, fans, family basically whoever we want to join in and see who can do the best Tripp Smith imitation. And what I mean by that, have people quotes some of the lines of some of your videos, in there bus trip Smith voice.
The bones are from daddy pig😂😂🐷
Yes sir!
I guess there is no more kayak use in this channel, but anyway it a great video..
Not as often.... But there will be everyone once and while ;) Still the same concept, just a standing up
Duck when you tack bro. I had five brothers. I got ducking down.
Haha! I hear ya!
Sweet adventure! Looking to get that same SUP and wondering how does it handle in rougher waters?
It was awesome! Oh cool, it's an awesome sup and handles rough water really well. It can't sink.... The question is how does the paddler handle rough water ;)
Going down to scallop next week. Would you recommend this same area or after your experience, would you prefer somewhere else?
Awesome! I'd say Steinhatchee for sure.... Still lots down there
How awesome :D
Sure was!
Awesome video I really enjoyed it👍👍👍. I was in Florida last month all the way from North Carolina we had a great time.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Wyatt! It's a great state for some adventure!
a couple of old sand dollars they are really neat i cant remember the biblical story that goes with them but it has to do with the white doves inside them
Yep, it's cool finding them!
you need a polarized filter for your camera, then we can see into the water better!
Yea.... that would help lol
Whats a decent inflatable paddle board I could buy thats not 1000 lol. Im looking to get into it.
I've got your answer right here - Nautical - irockersup.com/nautical-106-standup-paddle-board/?acc=182be0c5cdcd5072bb1864cdee4d3d6e
Trip Smith thanks for the tip on the iRocker, I am new to your channel and thinking about get into board besides kayak recently.
Trip I’m new to your channel, I watched the video where you first tested an inflatable sup, have switched full time to inflatable?
Welcome Christen! I recall a few of your comments here recently ;) Ummmm I haven't technically, but if I'm paddling my choice is an inflatable SUP 9 times out of 10... Just love em!
I need wwwaaaaayyyy more toilet than that bro!
Haha I hear ya bud!
Bounty works in a pinch too! ... so i hear
I've heard that too. Never tried it though!
Better tip for TP is to just use LEAVES. If you need then wash you self on in the OCEAN. Why make more wast. The Packet Gourmet looks like it generates a lot of trash.
I've used leaves for years when I was younger. Not many good ones on that island ;)
@@TripSmith actually my favorite is a good crusty snow, but doubt if you see much of that.
Hey man what’s the name of those shoe you had on and where can I buy them
Croc Swiftwaters - LOVE them! amzn.to/2kbXoTS Buy them, wear them, love them yourself!
Is the kyak better then board?I like to be covered up.?
It depends on how you look at it. I like the SUP much better than a yak ;)
Trip, take you a piece of meat (raw) my Grand maw always used a chicken neck tie it to a string and just sit there on your floating devise and throw that meat that's tied to the string out in the water, when the crab gets on it it will try to take the meat with it and the line ( string) will slowly tighten up and you just start easing the string in toward you,and simply with a dip net scoop the crab up when it gets with in reach,I realize you are performing for a video but this works....Johnny B.
Yea, I'd like to try that method. Probably would be fun!
Ive seen blue crabs alive the next day out of water
No kidding? That's good to know.
I'm pretty sure the bird you referred to is an Osprey.
Ah gotcha. Great bird!
@@TripSmithKeep up the great work!
Just sleep on the deck, an that was a deer jawbone.
Ahhh, gotcha. Well, the hammock is more comfortable ;)
The water looks dirty
Yea, it wasn't the best but it was good enough ;)
That's a hog jaw Trip... Looks like you'll have to start coming more my way here in Destin after that whopper of a storm...
I think you're right. Well, yea..... But I need to go back and see the new pass that was created ;)
Yeah, plan on making a trip over next season myself...
Too bad that in Florida if you find a vessel and it's stuck in the water you can't pull it out and make it yours I wish you could I would love to live on that sailboat
That would be a cool rule..... I think after a certain amount of time though you can? I really don't know much about the subject..... Just seems like I heard that?
@@TripSmith I think you can you have to get in touch with the owner of the boat then hire a company to remove it and sometimes there's a fine and as the new owner of the boat you you have to pay the fines that's the old owner has for leaving the boat there
Bone is probably a horse jaw
Dang! Cool!
What cameras do you use
Right now a DJI Osmo Action. I htink this was filmed mostly with my Galazy S7 cell phone and the under water shots with a Go Pro Hero 5.
You give Ron the crabs. Hey Yooooo!
Haha! Sure did.....
It's called pig island? We have a goat island where I'm from. I wonder if it's a pigs jaw?
Fairly likely ;)
I know u like you paddle board but I got one problem with it, you cant fish from it for a good reason, I'll stay with my kayak :)
Why can't you fish from them? I see people doing it, even on the inflatables pretty regularly. They even make fishing specific inflatable SUP's - amzn.to/2R33pwR Here is top fishing inflatables - www.inflatableboarder.com/best-inflatable-sup-for-fishing/
That jawbone, here piggy piggy piggy.
Haha, yep!
Hey Trip, Most of the time I watch your vids with headphones and notice you voice overs are only on the left channel, just wanted to give you heads up.... great video though.
Yea, I've had people mention that... I'm not sure why as I think I'm doing things correctly when editing. I'll doiuble check and see if I can get it right ;) Thanks Dante!!!!
Beautiful place. Where is it
William Collejo Port St. Joe, FL
Russell Taylor thanks 🙏
Yep, that's the spot!
Trip
Julian!
I want that boat, give me information?
If you are talking about the SUP, here ya go - -amzn.to/2SgR89p
you should have brought you an old chicken eck and a piece o string and slow pulled you a few crab in there you could have caught you a bucket full by the time you fooled around running up and down the coast there bubba im not to sure i would eat them raw like that bro
Yea, they would have started stinking.... I usually don't bring stuff like that. Raw is awesome!
Haha 😆 No guts for me please 🚫🍽
haha! I hear ya!
Hog bones
Probably so Travis, thanks!
Baby shark dududududu
Haha! Heard that one a time or two.... lol

I plan on it in the near future!
@@TripSmith you rock bro! sorry i have to binge watch .. stay great/{out there} i meant yes i would love to see you catch blue crabs ! and i was committing to your question would i watch you catch blue crabs yes i would !sir many blessings to you and your adventures !
I wonder if any of blacks island is still standing ?.
That's a good question.... I hope to get back down there once everything clears out a bit and take a look around. Right now though I'd just be in the way....
Deer
Maybe!
