[@4dak88]

this content is really getting me more inclined towards solo camping, i used to think that solo would be way to lonely, but seeing as you get to do whatever you want without the okay of the second party your treking with, doesn't seem so bad

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I say "Go For It". I'm a Senior Citizen and have ALWAYS been a very independent person. I love my me-time to refuel and center myself. Married 35+ years and unless my husband has a really EXCELLENT REASON to question my "me-time" he knows to be 💯 % supportive. I swear, if I was younger I'd do an AT Flip-Flop Thru Hike (no joke). So GO FOR YOUR ME-TIME. When you get old it's not what you ALREADY DID, it's what you DIDN'T DO🤔 that can haunt you💪👍.

[@MCLefka]

I solo camp frequently, and I would say at least try it once for a night. Make sure to plan something to do, fishing, hunting or even hiking. Can be VERY good way to clear your head and re focus

[@andrewdomonic6603]

Bro, you gotta leave your running lights on if you're gonna sleep on a bass boat anchored that for from shore. Also you should still rope off to something stationary when you beach, the hull will dislodge from the lapping waves and you'll be chasing her. Stay safe, that lake turns on a dime as well. Enjoy the channel. Cheers.

[@timohan100]

No running lights needed when anchored, but he needed an anchor light since it is required by the Coast Guard regs. I sail the Apostles and it drives me crazy when I see un-light fishing boats anchored, even close to shore. No lights is a good way to get hit by another boat, even close to shore.

[@StevenVo-dz3ee]

Boring 🥱

[@icebabysnocain]

That was funny, uninhibited is you, the island is uninhabited. I would be scared alone out there in a hammock. No hammock so no worries and a nice size breakfast trout. That water looked so clear, and cool. These videos are great as long as you are safe. Do more and we'll watch. Peace.

Pour a bottle of water on you line before you start!

[@tapez3586]

Stoned Wrecker what does water do? Lmao

[@lureswithlee]

Tapez. Well it does a couple of things its allows for better casting, less friction as the line is running. As well as if you are a saltwater fisher you should be pouring water after you fish as well.

Dude such an awesome video, I loved the changeup, yet I LOVE THE CATCH AND COOK ASPECT as well! Keep it up bud

[@lacesoutdan1885]

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing with us. A good way to anchor your boat near the shore is to drop a bow anchor 20yrds from shore, back towards the beach and tie a stern line to a beach anchor or tree. Keeps your bow into the wake and your hull off the shore.

[@JKoabieDiamondSEWEnt]

I love the configuration of your boat. The side console is best for salmon fishing because you get more room to spread the rods and freedom to move quickly back and forth. It's exactly the way I'd order mine.

[@frogcassady]

When anchoring. Especially overnight put all your anchor rope out. It’s also really good to have a length of chain half the length of your boat. The more rope to depth will hold better.

[@jakelarson29]

I was looking for this comment, "12 feet of water", proceeds to put out about 14 feet of anchor line. Let her swing!

[@jakelarson29]

Also, an anchor alarm is always a good idea. Don't want to be drifting into shore as you're sleeping. even with no service they will work off of GPS signal

There was one Hotel with a single room available, the honeymoon suit at The Hotel Chequamegon... it was a cool 250 bucks. Woke up in the morning with the most breath taking view of lake Superiorwhich made it worth every penny!

[@apaulsen05]

Next, time before you go out, check the NOAA GLERL Lake Superior wave forcast. Usually accurate. The swell and wind don't always correlate like they would on small inland lakes. Also, that anchor will stick better if you let out some lead (chain) + 3x the length of rope as the depth (36 feet in your 12 fow).
