    Great footage of the city front. I spent 4.5 decades working on the bay as a marine engineer and am retired in San Diego now, so it's nice to see those waters from the warmth and comfort on my house. Be safe and fair winds, following seas.

    Coast Guard are normally great people in the bay. Saved my butt when I broke down and got stuck in the mud at low tide at the San Pablo Bay entrance. Towed me in after the tide rose and they could get in. Awesome people.

      The Coast Guard does not tow anymore unless you are in imminent danger; they must have deemed you to be so. Otherwise that is a commercial salvage job such as Sea Tow and it will cost you a small fortune if you are not a member.

      Yep, wash the brine off and then let it dry to form a pellicle. I didn't wash it the first time I smoked fish, and it was way too salty. I guess everybody is supposed to know that you wash brine off, so it's not mentioned in recipes (how was I supposed to know).

I used to fish the sloughs and rivers a lot also would trout fish in the Sierras, Silver Lake was one of my pop's favorites, when my pop passed away in 1997 I lost interest in fishing. I used to go deep sea fishing on charter boats from Bodega Bay to Cordel Banks with my pop, you have shown me how to get rock fish from shore and I need to go crabbing too.

    If you weigh the bag fish, usually you could actually base the salt in the brine off of 2% of the total weight of the bag. I make my own hot sauces and that's the typical method for those at least. The herring looks delicious!

    Also when you brine fish you need to soak it in water for 30 mins after. Then let it dry. Also get a cold smoke tube if you hot smoke at 160 the meat stops absorbing smoke as soon as the outer is dry or the meat is cooked.

I'll see you at the office." And off he went after they put the Coast Guard truck away. Coast Guard is not only on the ocean. Edit: someone from the Navy said I must use naval terms regarding rank . So I deleted the rank bit altogether.

    I highly recommend a dry brine of 4:1 brown sugar to kosher salt for about 6 hours for small fillets (12 hours for salmon sized fillets). Squeegee off all of the excess salt and sugar (very important), get them tacky, Smoke 'em, maybe glaze them, then spice them up however you like. They never turn out salty and that brine works for all types of fish, fresh or previously frozen.

    I used to get stopped by the Coast guard at least once a season on Long Island Sound. Had several disagreements with them about required gear including an ore. My boat is 23' and 25 with the swim platform and weighed over 6000 pounds being an inboard engine and all. A Boat Hook to fend off is what is required not an ore. The Connecticut DEEP on the other hand used to stop me at least once a week or more and yet claim it was just a random stop. LOL I found out later a poacher tried to claim that I and my boat did more than they did in the illegal side of things but after not finding anything for 4 years they finally stopped. Happy Boating.

    Great vlog once again. Even the coast guard was entertaining . Great questions too about the gun. And if it’s legal to shoot something on your line to dispatch it safely. Very cool 😊

    Did Sir, I love your videos-- Thank you. I am new to the SF Bay and would like your advice to the best place that has parking to launch my little 13ft Boston Whaler to fish the SF Bay for Halibut/Bass. Thank you and keep the videos coming!!!

    I wish cast nets were legal in Southern California. I've floated over massive schools of sardines that were so large they faded into the underwater abyss and extended to my visible horizon. I could've sank my boat with 'em.
    Also, pressure cook 'em after you smoke 'em so the bones are soft. Put the smoked fish in a container seperate from the water in the pressure cooker. The high pressure steam penetrates through the skeleton. The smoked fish gets moist but not soupy.

    Hmmm 🤔 smoked herring are delicious 🤤 if they are done properly and not too salty. Pickled herring in wine sauce with onions are very sweet and delicious.

    I tried the same recipe. I had some left over grass shrimp. I never knew eating bait was so good... Just kidding. I liked the conversation that you had with the Coast Guard. Great questions. Stay Fishy!

    First - great video, relaxing and fun. Second - on a filet that small you'd have better luck just sprinkling some kosher salt on the filet and then covering with brown sugar for a dry brine. Then only do that for maybe 2-3 hours before washing the mixture off and dryiing it.

    When that happens, mix it with cream cheese and use it as a spread. That will tame down the saltiness and also the fishiness. Great on bagels or crackers.

    You should try it raw, filet with diced union. It's a big thing in the Netherlands

    thanks for asking the gun question something ive thought of but was curious on the ocean.

    A top tip is. Too roll them in cling/wrap., be4 put them in a zip lock bag. So they don't freeze into a Block, & tear apart when you try to separate them.

    Nice video brother Matt. I normally call in if I see big logs to coast guard. My cousin big crane ship off saulito normally the peeps that clean and picked them up with those barge boats with claw crane. Are you ready for 2024 Herring? It’s around the
    Corner. Hope we cross paths again !

    Sounded like the coast guard broke the floor in your boat when he jumped on it
