My Most Dangerous Fishing Trip. What was I thinking?!?

www.fishermans... for the Neck Gaiters!
The only way to get to the other side was to walk the plank.
Went out with ‪@philosophyd‬ to a Dangerous fishing spot trying to do a new catch and cook video. Things didn't go quite as planned but it was a trip I won't be forgetting. We had our life vest incase either of us fell into the ocean. We also had 30 pounds of gear each and walking the across the board was putting a good 200 pounds over the center. We heard some cracking but not enough to take over our worry.
Songs:
Chris Shards - Salt Lake Seagull
The New Fools - Washed

Hey Matt, as a construction 🏗 worker, next time u have a Knott close to the cut on the board try and measure from the other end to stay away from cutting close to it. It will be Stronger..

[@lemon-iu7bo]

You do construction here in the pnw?

[@FishermansLife]

Gotcha thanks. Only thing, if I measured from the other side, that would have been close to a crack lol. Shoulda used a better all around board

[@BlueMountainBandit]

@@FishermansLife I noticed that giant crack throughout the entire board and I was pretty certain I was gonna see someone fall but good ol american lumber held up in the end

[@marke.1021]

Might also want to go twice as wide and use the "scrap" you had to go on the under side to stiffen it up, so less bend when going over it. Yeah a pain to carry but better than being wet. Also might want to not have it sitting for you when go back over water- pull it up.

[@theragingswede7561]

I would go as far as to say you should use an I-joist very sturdy and fairly light for the support they provide, the tricky part would be finding one but if you know any framers in the area have em keep an eye out for you

[@OutdoorChefLife]

[@thejmd1971]

I thought that too for a second, until I watched it again a couple times and you can see that there was a "video edit" which a certain time period had pass. Therefore the Bobber must have floated out of picture frame.

When you asked that question .... i said “ smell” . I would try anything that smells good 😀

[@SlaphappyMongoose]

I had the same response! Great minds smell alike.

[@mikicin111able]

My response was “butter “

[@iFishSLO]

To reduce the wobble in the board, try bringing a big sock full of grains of rice or beans, or even gravel, and put that under each end of the board. That might help make the board a bit more secure. Love your vids as always!

[@mr.tryhardguitarguy2842]

Pro tip, in case you want to do something with a board like that again. Get two of those boards and put one over the other connecting them with a bungee cable, then on the end close to you make a loop around the end with paracord or rope and pull the rope tight and hang it down to the rocks behind you securing the rope tight. Its best if you tie with the middle of the rope and tie those two ends in a triangle position to make more support and make sure its nice and tight. On the end closest to you it will be nice and stable since you will have two secure points, the two boards will keep it so it wont bow as much and it will be less likely that it slides and you fall. You are essentially making a simple drawbridge and its very easy to setup and take down and will work even in the rain.

[@mr.tryhardguitarguy2842]

To edit, in this case you could have made those two secure rope points into anchors under the rock you were on.

[@Mr40tt]

You guy’s are nuts! But I certainly respect what you are doing. I about lost my left eye when I lost my balance in the rocks. Thanks for your videos.

[@jtktkdo8940]

Hello. I would love to make a suggestion. You should buy sand paper 300, the coarsed the paper the better. You could glue to one side of the board and then to the ends on the other side. This will give you extra grip specially when the board geta wet.

I was only there 45 minutes and been wanting to fish there for years since I drive by work there alot. Your videos are the reason I got back into fishing and crabbing. Thank you so much I needed to get back out. Keep doing what you do.

You should test the board for strength (cracking) at home first under the weight you will be using when crossing, like put your gear in pack and test it between two points at home first before going straight to the real deal. Don't want to see you loose all that expensive gear.
