Whoo hoo! Your back! I LOVE your island adventures! I'm glad you had friends with you! ❤ I wish this video was longer though. That spot is so beautiful, would have loved to watch more of it 😉
Thanks again Suzanne, so glad you enjoy the island adventures… they are a ton of fun!! 🏝️ Was great to have friends with me, thankfully our days off lined up to where we could make this happen. I am trying to plan a 3 day trip soon which should end up being a longer episode 😉 I am sick at the moment, so just taking it easy, but can’t wait to get back out for the next one!
By looking at some aerial views in the area, it looks like there's another good camping spot to kayak to you about a half mile past the bridge. It looks like it would be another incredible view of the city and bridge
What a cool place so close to the city! I love the Bay Area! When I retire in 4 years, I am taking a road trip out west and definitely try to replicate this and a few other of your camps in that area!!!
Just found your channel. I really enjoy the random camping/overnighter spots. Very interesting content. Stay safe out there. Looking forward to more videos from you. - Ray
So glad you are enjoying!! I do love finding cool spots and experiencing them to the max via camping 🏕️ Glad you appreciate them as much as I do... thanks for watching, Ray!
SO COOL! I have had a chance to spend some time out at Yerba Buena for a small infrastructure project, it's a really neat place. The absoulte best view of SF! You are already starting to look like quite the pro fisherman. We used to fish for striper in the Delta, but I've always wanted to try for halibut in the bay. I've heard they are some of the best-tasting fish in all of California's waters.
I just stumbled across your channel. I watched your east coast abandoned bridge video, and started skimming through your channel some more. Came across your video of the island just next to the San Rafael/Richmond bridge. I'm a bay area native, and have passed that island thousands of times commuting. So cool that there is a tunnel there. As a heads up, there are two tiny beaches right near the golden gate as well. Kirby cove. Just saying. Thanks for putting some new angles on places I've ALWAYS wondered about
Thanks for watching, Daniel. Love being able to contribute different perspectives on places a lot of us are familiar with! I also often looked down at that island from the bridge with awe. After getting into kayaking and camping, it seemed like a no-brainer for me to adventure out there… now have to say it’s my favorite spot of all! Someday when the wind, tide & swells are just right, I do plan on heading out to one of those beaches beside the GGB, so be on the lookout for that vid 😉😉 I hope to be back in be bay sometime in July
Eucalyptus trees were introduced to the Bay Area from Australia. They grew fast and many were planted in the Oakland Hills. It turned out to be the wrong kind for lumber. It warped and split when dried. By then millions grew above Berkeley and Oakland. In the early 1970's a rare massive freeze killed many of them. By summer the hills were not green like always before. We worried because they had oils and were flammable when dry. Big trimming efforts removed a lot of the danger.
Hi Wes! I just came across a TH-camr who makes crab snares and lives near San Fransisco. He has a video showing how he makes the snares himself! I thought you might be interested in making and trying the snares to catch crabs while out on your camping trips! "How to make a Crab Snare - Fisherman's Life" (9 yrs ago)
Thanks Suzanne, I started watching him a few months back and have really enjoyed his content! I had not seen that particular video and didn’t know you could make your own crab snares. Could be a fun project and good way to save some money instead of buying them. Yes, I would LOVE to chow down on some fresh crab while camping. I am currently on a road trip and my next chance to catch crabs will actually end up being in the Atlantic Ocean! Currently in Pennsylvania and will be recording my first episode on the road tomorrow night. Hope to get it out by Thursday at the latest. If I recall, you had said you were from Ohio, which I should end up traveling through on my way back. Let me know if you have any video ideas for around your area! :)
@@WesWherever That's so cool! I go to PA every year to camp near Oil Creek to look for culinary mushrooms! Where along the Atlantic will you be? Chincoteague Island VA is a place my family used to go to a lot. There's a National Seashore there called Assateague Island with wild ponies. I'll need to think about Ohio points of interest. Maybe let me know which highway you will using to cross Ohio. I'm not sure if it's too early in the season, but The Wilds is the largest animal sanctuary in North America. It's in central Ohio. Hocking Hills is a gorgeous State Park in southern Ohio. I will let you know if I think of any other cool spots. Travel safe!♥️
@suzannelegeza1292 Sounds fun, I’ve watched some videos of mushroom foraging and looks really cool if you know what you’re doing! I may start off as far south as Cape May in NJ, but then I’ll work my way up along the coast of New England. I have always wanted to check out the horses on Assateague though, so if I can find the time I certainly want to explore there 🐴 I’m guessing I’ll be taking I-90 along the northern tip of OH headed back from NE as I work my way back west. I will be sure to check out The Wilds & Hocking Hills if I’m further down south though… I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for the ideas, I’m really excited!! 🚐💨
Truuuuee, I was actually just watching a Fisherman’s Life vid about using crab snares and thinking that would be cool to try! Do you think a crab snare would work or should I bring a pot? Just seems a little less bulky to bring a snare in my kayak
@@WesWherever I think a pot would be better but you would have to put a buoy on it and paddle out a bit and drop it because of the shallow/gradual beach it would be difficult to pull in without dumping all the crabs(if using a crab ring as opposed to a crab trap)or getting hung up. It’s better to pull the pot or crab ring straight up. A lot of crap to pack on your kayak but would be super cool. A snare might be better , and much easier to carry. Try the incoming tide , Dungeness crabs seem to be more active then.
Thanks again for watching, I am working on making the vids longer without sacrificing the quality. Trying to plan a 3 day trip soon here which should end up having a lot of fun content!

So cool to revisit a great camping spot with a view. The rock you were fishing looked like great spot to chill as well
What a view of the bridge all lit up wowww better than TV, stay safe
This is it. I took my time but I’ve caught up with past videos, now I have to wait. Looking forward to your next camp 🏕
Appreciate your support, Tina!! :)
Cool place. Try dragging a lure behind your kayak sometime. I've done that in a canoe and caught fish.
That’s a good idea David, I will have to give that a try!
@@WesWherever give it a go. You'll probably get something.

Driven past there a ton of times, didnt realize that was down their. Pretty awesome.
Now you know 😉😉 Thanks for watching, Nate!
@@WesWherever Started scoping out your other spots now lol. Im up in lake county. Loving your videos.

@@WesWherever You can walk down a road 1 1/2 miles to Kirby Cove. There is a campground at the bottom.
It's called Red Rock Island fwiw.
water aint deep enough, for the big fish. 4:51 We have those trees in australia there
Yeah the only thing we’re missing is koalas for the eucalyptus trees. 😂
Thanks again for watching, Liam! Even a smaller fish would have been nice 😩 Love the look & smell of Eucalyptus, one of my favorite trees!
Eucalyptus trees were introduced to the Bay Area from Australia. They grew fast and many were planted in the Oakland Hills. It turned out to be the wrong kind for lumber. It warped and split when dried.

@@WesWherever Hi! Look up Cedar Point Amusment Park! It's located on Lake Erie in NW OH, right along I-90 👍
@@WesWherever There's also a few islands near Cedar Point that you can take a ferry to (Kelly's Island and Put-n-Bay Island are the two most popular)
Nice trip Bud!
Thanks bro, glad you've been enjoying the adventures 😊 Appreciate your support!
Its funny I seen your boy with rubber rain boots on, must be his first time lol
I’m thinking you should bring a crab pot next time you go out.

Crab snare once Wes gets to a cool island shore! Worth a try👍
Hi Wes, any new episodes coming? Thanks!
Yes Pookie, I am currently editing a video that I hope to have out this weekend 👍 Have had a lot going on lately… appreciate your patience :)
@WesWherever great! I'm looking forward to it 👍🏼👍🏼
Good thing it wasn’t windy. I wouldn’t camp under a eucalyptus tree if it was.
Thanks, yeah I definitely had to wait a bit for a clear time to cross the river!
Bring a fish with you
Not a bad idea!! 🐟😋
Can you burn 🔥 the driftwood
What bridge is that?
Bay Bridge
@@WesWherever Thanks
Vids n3ed to be longer Wes
Thanks again for watching, I am working on making the vids longer without sacrificing the quality. Trying to plan a 3 day trip soon here which should end up having a lot of fun content!
