Gimi time its only my second video

[@LaganaFam]

Agreed

[@GariFFUSA]

I wish it was longer, like 20 minutes.

[@heatherlandskron]

great video!! always finding neat place to camp.. thank you for sharing!!

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Heather, glad you’re enjoying the adventures 😊

[@heatherlandskron]

@@WesWherever your welcome! Enjoy the video! Would Try live worms might help.

[@thestealthycamper412]

Great sode Wes! Always finding neat places to camp 💯💯 *keep the ball rollin’!!* 🫡

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Mitchel, will do 🫡🫡

Fishing in the Bay decades ago, we’d use different rigs for different situations but always with live bait. Off a jetty like that where snags are inevitable, we’d use a float and fish the downwind or down-current side of the jetty. Drifting a live grass shrimp or pile worm off the bottom with a few split shot to hold the bait down and the float to keep it from snagging. Not sure about the bait shops around there anymore but Grass Shrimp was the best and readily available. Pile worms were too but watch out, they bite. We’d typically catch rubber lipped perch, Capazone, and Rockfish, and sometimes flounder. All great eating. Good luck and keep up the cool videos! Miss the Bay Area. 🤙🏼

[@WesWherever]

Some great advice there… thanks Sean! There is a local bait & tackle with a good selection of live bait - I’ll definitely be picking some up for the next fishing trip. Those all sound like great eating and I really hope I’ll be able to make a good catch like that! 🤞

[@Woodstock271]

@@WesWherever , Can’t go wrong with live bait anywhere in the world. You spoke about fishing with worms for bluegill and trout. I did the same thing as a kid in Wisconsin. After highschool and moving to the Bay Area, my friends in the Marina showed me how to fish there. Live bait again was the secret. Especially grass shrimp. The trick was to keep them off the bottom so the don’t bury themselves in the mud. Just dangling mid-water, no fish can resist that. Capazone was the prize fish from piers or jetties. They’re like a smaller Ling Cod. In Hawaii, I worked with a bunch of fishermen and trolled around the islands catching huge Tuna, Marlin, and other pelagic species and part of the most successful techniques was to catch smaller live baitfish we could throw into a school that drove the bigger fish nuts and start a feeding frenzy. Live bait my friend. Works everywhere when nothing else will. Good luck. Looking forward to your first catch and cook in the Bay. 🤙🏼

[@jacqueline7118]

Very cool place to camp! Thanks for sharing. :) :)

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Jacqueline, glad you enjoyed! :)

[@GUZZIGAMING]

Would recommend trying some live worms and or prawns. Keep fishing! I used to do it with my grandpa as well and it brings back great memories. Don't get discouraged just enjoy the moments. Especially that AMAZING view!

[@WesWherever]

Thanks for the tip, definitely plan on using live bait next time! Still enjoyed every minute despite not catching anything… relaxing being right there on the water with the view. I do enjoy the learning process and can only imagine how that first catch and cook fish will taste 😋 Thanks for watching!

[@phild8238]

Great video as always! You could camp anywhere and I’ll tune in! Keep up the great work Wes!

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again for watching, Phil 😊 Glad you’re enjoying the adventures!!

[@h2u910]

Really Enjoyed the video. Edge of my seat suspense. When you were negotiating the wet rocks in the wind.

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Drew, yeah it was sketchy for sure! 😬

[@sycksyngyrl]

This reminds me of a rock breakwall in Oswego NY there is a lighthouse there too..its called West Pierhead Lighthouse Oswego NY if you ever adventure out that way ..its said to have the 2nd best sunsets in the world...and some of the best fishing in the world too.

[@jameshudkins2210]

Beautiful lights at night of the Port of Oakland and Downtown San Francisco.

[@tnoel374]

Crazy as hell but I like it.

[@WesWherever]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed!!

[@guaporeturns9472]

Good job trying something new. I suggest a big salmon/steelhead float and about 3-4 foot leader and stay a bit closer to the rocks.

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Guapo, I will give that a try 👍👍

[@sprum3845]

High low double rig hooks just like for blue gills using pieces of pile worms should get some nice perch or rock fish.

[@WesWherever]

Thanks for the tip, would love to catch rockfish or perch! 😋

[@246810335]

You could try a large float with a weight and your bait and cast with the wind, it's just what I might do because of all the rocks.

[@WesWherever]

Thanks, I will give that a try!

[@PacSalt_TeachMetoFish]

Love all the videos! If bigger baits on bigger hooks don’t work, I always try to downsize and start throwing smaller hooks and smaller cuts of shrimp and squid. Also, when breaking off a snagged line, just pull on the line until it breaks off at the knot/hook or weight , rather than cutting where you’re standing, that way the line isn’t left to tangle and litter the ocean, and you might get some of your tackle back👍 saw you catch the striper on the Bay island! Looks like you’re making progress! You’ve added to my must do bucket list trips now!🎣🎣🤙🤙

[@CodingWithUnity]

Your channels fun to watch. Glad youtube recommended it

[@WesWherever]

Thank you, glad you’re enjoying! 😊

[@ajsmith-sz9lb]

Shame that you didn't have any bait i think you may have done better you had the right rig set up but what you were using i believe should be cast and retrieved in my opinion but good on you for getting out there and giving it a go

[@WesWherever]

I tried frozen shrimp with the high low, and then the grub worm I was slowly reeling back in (suggested in a video from “Rodney’s Fishing Adventure” about catching halibut). I definitely have a lot to learn… think I’m going to try grass/ghost shrimp next time 🤞 Thanks for watching!

[@AndrewMcAtee]

You honestly make the best videos in your genre. No suggestions here other than, please more dance scenes. Dig the vibe. One dance = 1 more like hahaha

[@WesWherever]

I may have to bring back the dance scenes then!!

[@AndrewMcAtee]

@@WesWherever yaaaaaaassss!!! 😂 Ngl I stated dancing in bed

[@Share2885]

i like these adventures

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Share, glad you’re enjoying!! 😊

[@ExploringwithBug]

Great video Brother! You motivate me to get out and do some camping! Sending good vibes from Okinawa. 🤙

[@WesWherever]

Thanks Bug, I definitely hope to inspire others to get outdoors, so that is very encouraging to hear!! Okinawa looks like a beautiful place, hope to visit one day 🏝️🌸

[@Thelegend-z7d]

Try a jig... bounce it off the ground and reel in slow... you might catch flounder

[@WesWherever]

Thanks! I picked up some jigs for freshwater recently, but I will have to try them in saltwater as well 🎣

[@Thelegend-z7d]

@WesWherever I am assuming you were in saltwater. I'm watching your videos every night after dinner bro. Their awesome

[@WesWherever]

Thanks bro, really glad you’ve been enjoying them!! 🫡 Yeah I was in saltwater in this one, but recently was doing some bass fishing in Pennsylvania and was trying out a jig. About to start making my way through New England though, so maybe I’ll give them a try on the coast there. Just can get expensive to buy a fishing license for every state, especially if it’s just for one day. But it would be worth it if it means catching some fresh dinner!! 😋

[@ricktravers6364]

Great adventures.

[@NorthMan-u2u]

Very cool awesome

[@somlysom6315]

Shiny spoon lure or fresh cut bait like shrimp squid or anchovy

[@WesWherever]

Thanks, I will give those a try!

[@shotbychristo]

See you in the next one.

[@kuukeli]

love these

[@stephanieswenson3014]

Wes is so amazing!! Another great video, watch out for them rock rats lol😂

[@WesWherever]

Thanks again Stephanie, glad you’ve been enjoying! 😊 Yeah those rats were no joke 🐀 I’ll make sure I them on camera next time… want y’all to see just how gigantic they were lol

[@Megan-mm5oz]

I love fishing 🎣 😊

[@ChrisBennettGameDesign]

I just watched your NYC video and I like to think you were warming up Brooklyn pizza. 😂😂 Nice to see another Alameda camp out!

[@Tsamados]

Hi I don't know too much about sea fishing but whenever I fished in rivers we used to keep quiet so as not to scare off the fish, so I'd maybe lose the Bluetooth speaker for next time.

[@bettyvarone4420]

First thing I thought of seeing those big rocks were water rats, you are so brave to camp there.

[@WesWherever]

Yeah they were getting a little too close for comfort at different times... glad I brought my tent for this one!!

[@ebroskie]

Good thing the rats didn't bite the fabric. My pet rats had a "thing" for certain fabrics that tore and made a lot of sound (bows made of ribbon). Tent fabric was a favorite.

[@WesWherever]

That explains a lot - had some mice 🐁 in my storage unit where I keep my camping gear, and they chewed several holes through my tent 😡 I gotta patch it up soon, had some insects find their way into my tent on my last trip

[@WhatOnEarth92]

Awesome video 👍

[@NorthMan-u2u]

Ya left over pizza that will last for years love were your camping very cool

[@garyredmon1731]

Love the vids , just wish they were a little longer

[@Twobarpsi]

Definitely looked cold!

[@WesWherever]

Yeah the wind chill was no joke!!

[@cdiddy609]

That's rad. I'm glad the rats left you alone. Such a neat spot but it's too bad you didn't catch anything. Maybe next time

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

If you fish rocks, you get hung up. That's how it goes. Try to cast further out or use a cork.

[@jgbaren]

Might have been easier taking the kayak out there!

[@flaboosh55]

you should try casting front hand instead of back hand 👌

[@c.b.8411]

Your videos are great! I would like to suggest that you always talk a little bit against marine garbage, especially the fishing nets, nylon lines and other debri that cause a lot of damage to seals, whales, dolphins, turtles and other marine life! and cheers! love your content!

[@BrianJoslyn]

What's the location of this camp site?

[@WesWherever]

San Francisco Bay along the former Naval Air Station Alameda

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

small shrimp no need skin peeling sir

[@redrum1955]

Some times it is called fish feeding 😄🤣

[@blazemazt3r255]

I'm way late to the party but honestly your probably gonna have better luck using a piece of chum, shrimp, worm, etc. and waiting rather than active fishing it's pretty much guaranteed to catch a fish anywhere especially at night or early morning

[@larrymyers6327]

In this area with all the rocks you would do better with a lure that floats and you have to keep reeling it

[@WesWherever]

Thanks for the tip Larry, maybe a crankbait? 🤔

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Did you say large rats tried to join you NO way. You did well walking on rocks with rubber boots on. Pity no fish this time. Lobed teh war ship in the back ground when filming on the first day sweet. Stay safe

[@ml.2770]

Future Wes here: Don't worry Wes, you'll get it. In episode 221 you hook a marlin after kayaking to the Bahamas.

[@WesWherever]

Thanks for the encouragement, Future Wes 💙 We got this!! 💪

[@WesWherever]

Please tell I also somehow manage to catch a tuna on my kayak too 😅

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

i never eat anything at the wall.. fish for fun..

[@owendiaram3870]

When suddenly, you real in the Aircraft Carrier. I don't think you can cook that

[@gomimaninoakland]

I know where that is you love alameda and the estuary in these last few videos. They say you should only eat two meals of bay fish in a month. they say especially from larger seabass. This because of the heavy metals that have concentrated in the bay from all the mercury used in processing gold ore and also from the hydraulic mining where they would just blast down hills with powerful water jets and release natural mercury. plus the heavy industrial business that dumped there waste in the bay. The bay is getting cleaner but especially in the port area they are alway dreging releasing older layers of sediment. So health wise maybe lucky you did not catch any fish

[@454545george]

Just a question. You appear to be right handed? Just cast on your strong side for a better cast. If you were on a boat with somebody, you might need to cast across your body. Other than that, just go fishing, you'll get it.

[@permanentmarkerone]

Love you so much from India 🇮🇳🪷

[@WesWherever]

Cheers :) 🇮🇳💙

[@paulrinehart4262]

I wouldn't eat any fish from the S F bay due to pollution!

[@zhaneranger]

I hate this spot for fishing. Every time I’ve come here it’s so crowded and I catch nothing but snags.

[@paulascholz600]

Left-over pizza on a camp stove is so sad after walking a mile over broken rocks full of rats.

[@WesWherever]

Leftover pizza is arguably better than fresh pizza!! The flavors get to marinade together 😋

[@MateoPatron]

Classic Alameda smo*ing/fishing spot. 🫡
