My chill time is watching Trip and the other TH-cam down to earth folks living out the dream! As a fire fighter, logger, carpenter or a diesel mechanic, I think we all live the life through y’all and get after it at work! I’m currently “talking” the wife into just winging it such as camping out in a storm such as you. Brother we live on the water and rarely take 50% advantage of it. Sometimes as I’m sure you and y’all know life just does it’s thang and unless you make time for LIFE there won’t be. What an inspiring folk you and yours is and hopefully, soon me and mine will be doing the same!!
As a young boy in Florida chilling out was spending time on my 10 foot Jon boat with little outboard motor cruise in the intercoastal waterways and mostly canals around Melbourne Florida. Cast netting for mullet and catching sea trout. Today, 40 years later, it’s now taking my small travel trailer down forest roads near Northern Arizona. Life is good. You can take the man out of Florida but you can’t take Florida out of the man. I enjoy watching you chilling out on your boat on the waters. Brings me home for a little bit. Be safe out there brother.
You grew up like I did. I'm in Vero Beach, my old john boat I had has seen a lot of fish and adventure in the Indian River. I would not change a thing.
I love your channel and seeing you post on other people's C Dory channels. Your spirt is infectious! C Dory in 5-8 years for me hopefully. I just don't want to finance it. I love your boat but keep coming back to hear you laugh and witness your great thirst for adventure Never change Trip and greetings from NC. 😎👍💯
Tip for Trip: for better flavor, gill bleed a Spanish mack immediately and gut it ASAP... and it works out a lot better. If you have kosher salt to pack it. Everglades seasoning or lemon pepper etc that's really good too
That looked like an awesome time! I enjoyed listening and seeing some sights and sounds on the water while I sit here at my desk working. I dont get out much so this was a nice little window to the world I miss. Thanks for sharing Trip!
I am only 10 mins in on this one and cant stop laughing, this is pure gold and deserves a million views. LOVE the down to earth humor and can just picture myself doing the same things, got me looking for a paddle board and a C-dory lol God Bless, and have fun!
Trip, yes that was a Ladyfish at the 33' mark. Most people don't eat those but, a few that do, generally pack the fish meat, It is a very flaky fish, and make patties similar to crab patties. Love the video.
Your very inspiring with being healthy I love your enthusiasm and you make some awesome videos that are great promotion for fitness and health ❤❤❤ your one of my favorites thank you for the videos 🫶🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Enjoying your vlog in central texas. Really appreciate the videos and the clean content in these crazy times. Keep up the great work. Remember, God made tailgates and fishing poles for when times get tough 👍
Love your content man, moved to Florida's east coast...been enjoying the water ever since... that said... 15:40 Trip Smith : "...Who cares, glad I decided to go." *Mario magic mushroom sound effect* Trip's Florida man level increased 100%
Man I love just kicking back on the beach, paddleboarding, boogie boarding, kayaking, or making music on my guitar and writing songs. All of the above. I am jealous of the c-dory though. Highly jealous. Hoping to eventually find a motor powered water craft that fits my budget to explore more of what St. Andrew's Bay has to show me. On another note I always do 1:2 type ratio between push ups and air squats. So 25 push ups to 50 air squats. Just works better for me.
Heck yea Cory! The C-Dory is a great craft, there is no doubt... Hope you find your boat soon! Yea I gotcha on the 1:2, I figured my sprints wouldn't do to well after 100 air squats and wanted big sets for my pushups since I wasn't doing many rounds.
Oh, yeah.... forgot to mention that cut ladyfish is a great bait for larger fish such as Redfish and Snapper. Next time try anchoring near the bridge , off the channel, during ebb tide. Work a cut piece of cut ladyfish in front or under the bridge, in the current when the tide begins to shift. Tight lines!!!
Brother when are you planning some epicer!@ trips with the Dory, Tortugas, Bimi, Isla Mirada, Key West? Thank you for taking us with@@!! have a great day amigo
I wish I was planning one next week... The problem is, time... With a full time job I would have to take a considerable amount of vacation to make those bigger trips happen. Then I wouldn't have enough time left for many other trips... Hopefully one day I can go full-time and make them happen for ya bud. I want it bad!!! You have a great one as well, thanks for watching.
Thanks! At about 25mph I get about 5-6 mpg on calm water. It holds a bit over 50 gallons so that's a pretty nice range. I actually calculated it more clearly at the end of this video - th-cam.com/video/ncSRQKiXDaE/w-d-xo.html
What are you got left to do is get a air-conditioning unit with a heater installed like the guy at crooked pilot house has a put a home AC unit window unit in it
I chill out solo camping off grid unplugged rocking in my hammock. Can you have two lines out on one fishing license in AL? You did great fishing and cooking. No lemon on your fish? It’s interesting to see what fish you have in that area.
Sheepshead love Bridge pilans and you can usually just fish straight down and doable a jig and get them to bite and I think they are great to eat too just kinda ugly looking fish LOL. They love jetties and rock also and a small crab works good or a jig that imitates that.
Hey brother just a word of advice next time you're fishing with shrimp start at the tail and put the shrimp on the hook with the curve of the hook not through the back you'll do a lot better
I don't..... I've been using a Casio ProTrek for quite a while now. Mostly because my Garmin didn't have good notifications on it lol In the last couple of weeks though I've been wanting a Garmin back.... The newer models have much better notifications and I can get heart rate and other fitness related data from them.
I appreciate your videos. I would like to get a C-Dory some day. Probably the 25’ with a can (head) I would like to go to the Bahamas. Are you planning a trip over there? I got this fish (my avatar) in Pensacola. She is a Majestic Angel fish. Not far from where you did your video. Happy Thanksgiving!
Glad you enjoy them! Yea, the head makes a difference doesn't it? Yes, I am planning a trip over there. I'll definitely hit the Keys in 2022 and maybe the Bahamas in 2023. Unless when I go to the Keys if a weather window is just right I'll shoot across ;) Oh very nice shot! Happy one to you and yours!

My chillin out is watching TH-cam drinking some crown on ice.
Sounds good to me Marvin! Keep skillin bud!
Love your boat. Would love to have one like that someday.
Chilling out for me is being on a pier in the summer fishing for kings. Just leaning on the railing waiting for the bite is just so calm and relaxing.
There ya go! Sounds good to me filip.
Tip for Trip:
for better flavor, gill bleed a Spanish mack immediately and gut it ASAP... and it works out a lot better. If you have kosher salt to pack it. Everglades seasoning or lemon pepper etc that's really good too
Gotcha. That's basically what I did with this one, cut it up pretty quickly ;) Thanks for the tips!
That looked like an awesome time! I enjoyed listening and seeing some sights and sounds on the water while I sit here at my desk working. I dont get out much so this was a nice little window to the world I miss. Thanks for sharing Trip!

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it so much! Make it happen Burning!!!
There is a good grass bed by the coast guard station good for caching trout. I think the guy you were peeping in the binos was on it.
Lol 10-4

Can’t wait! Love the videos man!
Glad to hear that Will! Cya at the Premiere 👍🏼
Is that boat in the background sunk?
Great video Trip! Love getting to watch. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thankya Kenneth! I appreciate you always tuning in
That's actually a Cero Mackerel! Super common down in the Florida Keys, nice catch!
Ah cool! OSRS? The MMORPG?
Love your content man, moved to Florida's east coast...been enjoying the water ever since... that said...

Thanks Crell! Dang right!!!! lol
Epic video trip! Loved the part with the binoculars 🤣🤣🤣
Lol Yea, I'm special....
Been wanting more fishing videos!
More to come!
Man you have got that boat looking beautiful! I dream of having one like that some day.
She is pretty special to me..... I hope your dreams come true Brian!
That headlamp looks like it would work pretty good on a hardhat at my work
Oh no doubt... Beware, it is blinding to others but great for the wearer!
You crazy! Keep it up.
Thanks!!! Will do lol
I’m buying the headlamps! Those are awesome!!
Yes they are pretty awesome! Hope you enjoy them 👍🏼
Fishing the channel edge next to the bridge is your best bet to catch something edible.
Good info, thanks randolph

Need to put some cool-patterned carpet in the ceiling for 1) insulation, and 2) stop that echo/reverb action that's going on.
Interesting idea.... I need to look into that.
Awesome video, Trip. Great content. Keep the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Lucky you, love the boat!
I'm am lucky indeed! Thanks ,me too

Hey you got to put the batteries on the one or to not all
Looks great Trip!
Thanks Nate!

Be careful! And enjoy😊
Thank you, I will
Need an aerator for that bait
Agreed....
I sure hope you don’t give me the fever for one of those C-Dory’s! (fall will help me resist:)
Haha! To late, you've already got it ;)
Good vid. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
What??? Trip Smith catching fish!!!!
Nope.... Catching QUALITY fish. Spanish are TOP table fare.
The stars were aligned just right ;)
McGuires is right there! Go in and have some Irish Boxtys!
Never really tried much Irish eats..... I probably should
@@TripSmith you won’t be disappointed! The fish in the bay are good too!
Nice video. How many miles can you go at planing speed? How many gals of gas?
Thanks! At about 25mph I get about 5-6 mpg on calm water. It holds a bit over 50 gallons so that's a pretty nice range. I actually calculated it more clearly at the end of this video - th-cam.com/video/ncSRQKiXDaE/w-d-xo.html
Nice catch!!
Thanks Margo!
Hey do you mind sharing where is a safe place to launch and keep truck and trailer at?
Ross Marler park ;)
What are you got left to do is get a air-conditioning unit with a heater installed like the guy at crooked pilot house has a put a home AC unit window unit in it
I might do a AC one day but it won't be a window unit 😉👍🏼
Thumbs up 👍 for the Mario Brothers notification lol
My chillin out is "BS" Beers and Sunshine!! Gulf coast in Venice Fl
there ya go!
Use the lady fish for cut bait. They are really oily and perfect for it
I should have!!! Silly me....
Hey trip. What did you use to catch that macky
Live shrimp ;)
BRUH, YOU NEED A BAIT AIR PUMP TO KEEP ANY BAIT ALIVE BY KEEPING OXYGEN IN THE WATER...BAHAHAH!
Yea... I hoped they would last a little while lol
I chill out solo camping off grid unplugged rocking in my hammock. Can you have two lines out on one fishing license in AL? You did great fishing and cooking. No lemon on your fish? It’s interesting to see what fish you have in that area.
Very nice! Yes, I have never heard you couldn't. Didn't bring any lemon.... should have! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Trip, Love your content. My dad lives in Foley, Al. So, I am in the area quite a bit before Covid. We need to connect and go fishing.
Hey thanks Sam! I need to connect with a lot of folks for some fishing apparently.....
The artificial lure you used looked like a "Gulp" soft bait. Been waiting on a adventure in the mini yacht
Yep, that was the one!
Sheepshead love Bridge pilans and you can usually just fish straight down and doable a jig and get them to bite and I think they are great to eat too just kinda ugly looking fish LOL. They love jetties and rock also and a small crab works good or a jig that imitates that.

Man could I go for some BBQ shrimp from AJ's, but I'm stuck in South Dakota
Dang.... Gotta get back down!
Y’all support this man on patreon so he don’t have to start an onlyfans 🤣
Haha! Maybe they are just waiting for the onlyfans???
@@TripSmith I’d show my feet to creepers online for several thousand up to a million a month. Haha
You ought to do your sling blade impression ?
I know you could pull it off and would be funny as shit 😂
Hehehe, yea I might toss that in one day ;)
@@TripSmith do it man you already do part of it when you eat mmmm..
Imagine being the fish that gets caught by Trip Smith.
I bet he felt pretty dumb..... Lol
Hey Trip do you still use the Garmin Fenix GPS watch?
I don't..... I've been using a Casio ProTrek for quite a while now. Mostly because my Garmin didn't have good notifications on it lol In the last couple of weeks though I've been wanting a Garmin back.... The newer models have much better notifications and I can get heart rate and other fitness related data from them.
The excitement….
What a fun time!
When is the rock a dock video coming out?
This year it's going to be multiple videos. Releasing one today over on Patreon and it should be public later this week ;)
That`s Money Dude !!! =D
lol Yes sir!!!!
O.o What tf ever, out there to fish and camp, NOT... just wanted to be all alone with your ice-cream! hold-out. lol
Haha! You got me!
I appreciate your videos. I would like to get a C-Dory some day. Probably the 25’ with a can (head) I would like to go to the Bahamas. Are you planning a trip over there?

Unless when I go to the Keys if a weather window is just right I'll shoot across ;) Oh very nice shot! Happy one to you and yours!
How do you make your egg salad
Nothing fancy. Hardboiled eggs, mayo, mustard, sweet relish, celtic salt, paprika and cilantro.
you need to keep the bait well oxygenated
I have since learned that lol Silly me.....
Need to get an air pump for the bait thats why they were dead
Yea... learned that a little to late lol
Don't waste the shrimp bait coat them in old bay and fry them up too and while you wait hydrate
Yea really!!!!
I said "wow he's anchor right in the channel huh " .....
Put some ice in the bait Box
I wanted to see how a diesel stove worked
Sorry, took out the diesel stove....
well the second best bait is fresh dead shrimp!!! lol
Lol good enough!
What you talking about? Cookin with Shrimp... It is cookin with Trip.....
Hey shower is good. Saltwater is sticky.
Yes sir!
i'll give ya a buck three80, @trip smith
Aw cmon now! lol
Trip, you're on a boat, what's up with the blow-up pillow brother?
I donno.... I guess it's more compact and doesn't absorb moisture and mold....
Do you send $1.00 a month to any channels?
Sure do! Been supporting Tim Shmoyer for probably 4 years now.
When r u going to start bringing your family?
When I stop going out in storms with no plans of coming home until the trip is over. Or when they get a little older ;)
Those shrimp don’t look to alive
Maybe the ain't....
Raw fish has WORMS in it... most wild caught fish.
Worms have protein too lol 😅😅😅
Not good to show anchoring stern into the upcoming weather. Recipe to poop your stern and sink.
Don't think I did that.... I only time I was exposed for extended periods was when I was anchored stern to shore.
Can you get a twitter account for us, not on your life Facebook folks. #DeleteFacebook forever
if i was on a boat with you your constant chatter in mediocrity would drive me scatty, well we are all different, do you ever talk serious??
