Hey Matt, I have that same cheap Kayak that I used to take out on the ocean fishing and crabbing, I developed similar scratches on the bottom rear as in your video and thought it was okay, then one day I was about 2 miles out of Santa Cruz and realized I was sinking. It was leaking from those little scratches, I barely made it back to land after struggling to paddle a water laden kayak and frequent stops bailing the hull with a gatorade bottle. I ditched it and bought a real ocean worthy Hobie outback kayak. So be safe my Brother!

[@aaronhenderson8502]

I love your broke series. Please post more! I'm a disabled Veteran and broke as hell. Your broke videos help alot of people get out fishing on the cheap.

[@desertfairychickres4021]

Thank you for your service and may God bless you.

I've done a lot of ocean kayaking and you sir are very lucky the ocean was so calm. Had me leaning in my chair on that launch from the island 😆

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

Hahaha the amount of anxiety I had when you were getting on the kayak at the end. I literally had my hands over my face when you were turned around facing the back trying to not dump. I love kayaks.

Its so good to see you as excited as you were two years ago. I really felt your excitement and joy in this video.

That’s what I call a Real Adventure, to me i call that also 3C’s Catch,Cook and Camping. Thank you Matt for showing and sharing your great video , I love it.

[@Prairie7777]

I totally love your videos. You make it seem like we're right there with you. Thanks for the adventures!!!

Love these Camp & Cook videos! The excitement when catching that little one... I could really feel that. FL Street fare was really dope too, definitely worth the trip and nice meeting you. Keep it up and tight lines!

[@fishingaddicts2057]

You’re the freaking man ! Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures .. love all your videos . 🤙

The amount of variety between various harbor/bay islands around the world makes them so interesting to explore.

[@iancantor5482]

You had me rolling. I couldn’t stop laughing when you were half paddling away ‘cus it brought me back to something similar I did on an island by San Rafael. Your vids. Are so real and they provide a connection to the past, present and hopefully future adventures I’ve experienced. Thank you. From the motorcycle guy in Petaluma. Watching this adventure of yours was priceless. On the serious tip, I’m glad your safe b

[@wflyer7985]

Man, thank you for this video. It got intense there at the end. Whooo! I appreciate the effort you put into this. Thank you.

[@jisozaki]

Great video Matts. Just an idea but I would recommend attaching a rope to your kayak in case a sneaker wave pulls the kayak out when you're unloading, you'll have a 2nd chance at retrieving your kayak.

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

What a banger video. So glad you made it. I remember you only had 14k subs! I thought to myself why has this man not gone viral. Now that I'm in the same industry I realize it takes a lot of time, dedication and consistent uploading. So hopefully one day I can make it like you. I've learned so much about fishing throughout the years watching you fish. You didn't just inspire me and I'm sure load of other people but you always remain calm collective and very humble. Stay fishing -Johnny.

[@joanneth4919]

Being a native Bay Arean now living down in the desrt by Palm Springs, your videos are a taste of home for me. I love ❤️ your adventures.

Not a bad idea. Lol

The end was so so stressful! Glad to see you made it out safe! Thanks for providing such great content...

[@axelmontage]

I really enjoy fishing and catching rockfish along the coast. You have always been an inspiration to me. Love the amazing content!

[@stevehogan8829]

Cool. Much better than swimming, especially with gear. You can get up there easy peasy. Nice job. woohoo... Absolutely beautiful... Flowers everywhere. What the heck,,,, no bacon, no tent,, just a pad and a bag. Hope you brought ear plugs for those noisy birds. That's som nice looking lunch man,,,ah and you threw him back. lol I think that seal is getting a good laugh. He's not even hanging around. There ya go. Looks like YUM! Great video...... so I gotta tell you... I"m 75, still kayak but take the easy roads now due to a health issue. I really appreciate you taking me on these adventures I can no longer do. Thank you so much. You're sharing more than a youtube video. Hope you and your wife have a fantastic 2023.

[@bruceholbrook5995]

I'm glad it was you and not me.. :Very tricky situation. You need to find an island with a beach. Better is an island you can get to at low tide. If you switch to sand bag sinkers, You won't get caught up on snags as much. And if you loose it, it was just a sand bag, and maybe a hook or something. I usually don't use lures in the rocks and kelp. There were plenty of mussels for bait out there. Seems like allot of effort with little reward. But was a nice adventure.
