Pier Fishing Sebastian 3 Days Truck Camping (Eating What I Catch)

In this video I'm fishing the Sebastian Inlet Pier for Snook and whatever bites. I'm also truck camping at the Donald MacDonald campground on the east coast of Florida.

Hey JC, we saw that click!! Looked very professional too! Thankfully they worked for you!! Those look like the same ones we have too. We were laughing at you doing that! Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure!! Tight lines buddy!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ha ha...now that's funny. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@user-kz5wo1ud9h]

I’m fixing to go live out of my truck fishing in south Texas. My life is almost over (bad health) , thank u for reminding me what life is all about. Much love

[@TheBoundlessNexus]

What makes you say it's over? Why are you so sure there's nothing you can do?

[@user-kz5wo1ud9h]

@@TheBoundlessNexus This world is all about $$$, I came from another world (prison). Spent the last 21 yrs of my life there only to get out and realize people don’t care about being happy. Money makes them happy. I have a bad heart and multiple hernias I’ve been in pain long enough, I’m tired of hurting. I have a dog I love and live for, he’s pretty old . I figure when he’s gone I’m gone. I had no idea the “free world” was like this, hospitals won’t help unless u have insurance…sad. I thought about sneaking out of USA then coming back in as a illegal (free insurance) but they would just check my finger prints. I’m sorry I dumped this on u , forgive me. I guess it helps when I know we don’t know each other . Thank u man. Please don’t respond, just live your life and remember to enjoy it.

[@TheBoundlessNexus]

@@user-kz5wo1ud9h I know you said not to respond, but I felt compelled to share that I feel exactly the same. God has been replaced in a lot of people's hearts with money, and those impacts can be seen everywhere, and it hurts so bad to look at. There's no need for apology, we're all human and sometimes a stranger lending an ear or helping hand is what's needed and I'm glad to be able to help in anyway I can, truly! I guess I just want to also say, you sound like one of the few truly good people out there who realizes where we are as a people, and I would hate for the world to lose someone like that. I know it hurts, and sometimes it seems like there isn't much worth it, but there is and I'd be happy to share some of what makes it so for me if you're interested. Also, I'd like to say there's tons of resources online that can help with heart health, hernias, and more, and I'd be happy to help you research! My mom is a nurse of 40 years, she might know some tips to get you more affordable care or care without insurance, if you're comfortable talking more about your condition. With all that, I'll be praying for you, and whatever you decide on it's been an honor conversing my friend!

[@RollinRollinReelin]

Hello brother! Hey man I'm sorry you've been struggling. Times are difficult for many right now me included but don't give up! That old pup of yours isn't the only one that cares about you. Have you gotten on your knees and asked the good Lord for help with your faith and whatever you're dealing with? I'm disabled and been struggling a bit myself. Let's say I'll pray for you and you pray for me too. Hang in there!

[@RollinRollinReelin]

@@user-kz5wo1ud9h Hey brother I'm just checking on you. I'm sorry you spent so much time in jail and more so that your having health challenges. I know how that is. I have spina bifida and at 60 years old I'm facing another surgery next month. I've had just under 20 so far. You do have options. Medi-cal Medicare Medicade are options. I don't know why you went to jail or if you deserved it but all that matters is now. Now you are out and I know its very hard but just like I care others care. If you let me know where you're at I'll do some research for you and find out what resources are available and get them to you. Hang in there man.

[@brian1715]

Damn JC is like a fishing celebrity now. Lol that’s awesome that people recognize you. Love the videos and I know how much work it is to go camping. Keep up the good work buddy.

[@ericbahrenburg5076]

Im an old Eagle Scout. You can trust this camper.

[@burkeewardall]

Sorry, I can only give one thumbs up. Every campfire time with good friends is priceless.

[@ChristianRebelRadio-dq6iw]

You actually can if you make another account ;)

[@jasonwysocki9815]

Donald MacDonald is the best. Primitive for sure but secluded and has a boat ramp right in the campground to the Sebastian river.

[@Lookdown167]

Try thumper shrimp it’s the main soft plastic they use at the inlet

[@joshuadirocco1811]

I'm a local here near sebastian inlet and never heard of this campground before. I just built a rig with a rooftop tent and solar. So I'll definitely be camping here. So thanks for the heads up! Long time observer, first time commenting lol.

[@saneadam3512]

this was really good. I would like more of this type of camping site, catch/cook video. But I also enjoy the simple truck camping too. As long as it is catch/cook I say do what is affordable and most fun for you.

[@stevenmcadams6621]

Just wanted to say how much your hard work and dedication while keeping a positive attitude is appreciated. God bless bro 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻

[@mikeylocha6588]

Bluefish is delicious ! You have to cook them fresh same day as caught .

[@robertspence831]

I'd call that a pretty good fishing trip.

[@thevernonposse]

Love bluefish especially on the smoker

[@timothydavey7569]

I think bluefish is very good that size and smaller. I don't even bleed mine usually just remove some of the blood line from the fillets and roll with it

[@FrankLadd]

Thanks for a great video! You can put your phone on a do not disturb schedule and have it for important numbers still ring through.

[@coryhyatt2035]

JC I wish I knew you were there. I live 10 mins away. I would have loved to say hello. Plus I could have gave you some pointers as I fish there a ton. Although some of the guys you were talking to are also regulars.

[@TheLawlessTide]

Great stuff JC, like the longform with vlogging mixed in.

[@johntrout1957]

Watching from Wales, green with envy, I can count the number of dry days we've had since Xmas on one hand !!. I think we should rename Wales Wetnwindy ! 🤣

[@johnboggs2728]

Love these camp and cooks JC. You the man

[@steveokoren4059]

JC, glad to see you on the East Coast. Next trip you need to hit Jupiter. Look me up.

[@murphymitchem9150]

I live on the east south coast. Love your show! Learning a alot! Thank you!

[@jeffmoyer2192]

There's a shower there ,,,and u missed the pier on the Sebastian river....I used to live there

[@user-ym8rd5gn3q]

Any pin fish will score big fish, especially a live croaker, my friend takes them on pier and they are5$ each and out produce most other bait

[@danaparks8812]

Also I just had a hand surgery, and my arm from my hand to my elbow was in a cast. (my dominant side) Although it just got removed, I'm still not really into doing anything strenuous with it so fishing is probably out right now. Maybe I can come down and go crabbing, and if I catch some decent ones, keep them for myself and it give you the rest for bait, lol!

[@user-ym8rd5gn3q]

I wish you had come there 8 months ago because I followed most all of your vids and lived in Vero Beach for past 9 years and just moved back to nc, 6 months ago, love your videos

[@FMB123]

Everyone's moving out of communist zero beach lol

[@alaskauncut4383]

Keep doing the camping videos! Florida has so many opportunities to camp and fish. Ive been watching your videos for a long time. Some of those guy out there are so fake and its become "work" and selling stuff now instead of just fishing. Maybe a camp and pompano fishing adventure vid?! Camp and cook some pomps!! : )

[@pierrefloyd4586]

Blue fish is really good

[@TideAndSeekFishing]

Keep on trucking brother. I've been following you forever with my main account but I've started following you on this account. You're one of the people that inspired me to start my channel. Hopefully we'll meet on the water some time. Aloha.

Awesome video man, youre super close to hitting 70k 🎉 You should do some more jig snook fishing i have very little knowledge on it and would love to learn more about it

[@thomasmeyers9529]

Truly enjoy your videos and how down to earth you are. As you can see from the pier you have tons of fans!! Appreciate your approach, your commentary(especially the insight about sausage dogs😂). Keep it up, hope to run into you on the waters in Sarasota. FYI, you can set your phone to keep notifications off so you dont get woken up at 6am….

[@SilvermanAdventuresFishing]

Always interesting vids JC. You are blessed to be able to live that life. Learn a lot from your videos. Tight Lines. Peace.✌🙌

[@lostinthesunshinestate5425]

Hey JC, i wanted to mention there is a campground called Rye Preserve. Ive been fishing there since I was a child, i think you would have fun exploring it.

[@pedrolsantiagosr5092]

JC, you are a celebrity:)

[@jeware1971]

You got a triple tail. The Florida tripletail gets its name from its elongated dorsal and anal fins, which are almost as long as the tail fin, making it appear to have three tails. The tripletail inhabits inshore, nearshore and offshore waters and often is found near floating weed lines, crab traps, channel markers and other structure.

[@VivendonaAmericaBrasil]

here in Brazil there are tons of those little fishes called triple tail...we call them here "maria da toca".

I’m going to that pier in 2 weeks! From tax hell Canada

[@albuterol71]

Awesome video! I live near Melbourne. I recognized a few of your spots you tried, tough fishing there even on a good day. I always drive down to Sebastian where the chance of catching dinner is so much better!

[@johnshutte9398]

I live where you were fishing and it's been tough the last few yrs... it's still got a great variety but it's so much easier on my boat in and around the inlet.. please stop burning the plastics though

I really enjoyed this adventure. Maybe more of your subscribers will feel confident to pack up the truck and do a fishing camping trip. Thanks for taking us along for the great ride. What is the brand of the hoodie that you were wearing. I would like to buy one so please let us know. OK Best

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching Chris. Kast King is the shirt amzn.to/43Bm3CG I like them, the material is heavier than the Salty Scales, but I really like the integrated face buff and the hoodie.

[@phillipcarroll6625]

Love the videos, but burning plastic is illegal. It also smells horrible. I would be careful, especially on a campsite.

[@RadReelingFishing]

That's great information. Thanks for the heads up.

Please dont burn plastic JC. Thank you

East coast JC

[@selenatorres1522]

In Jesus name! Love it ❤ Unashamed

[@chrisearnest3569]

Love the videos buddy but you fished the wrong side of this inlet. I do much better hooking up to snook on the opposite side. Shrimp in the horn and a split shot to get down before the birds get it. Incoming tide the best. I lived in Sebring for a year while building a plant and drove to this inlet every weekend. It’s really one of the best fishing I’ve done and I’ve fished Georgia salt water, pan handle Florida all the way to Corpus Christi.

[@chrisearnest3569]

Also that punch point you found that’s another good hole. My first day there I tossed out and was catching mangrove snapper. Didn’t realize what I had caught till a few days later and saw how good they were. I hooked up to something huge. Snatched my bait and snapped me within seconds. So much fun and hopefully I’ll move back to that area. Highly recommend to anyone watching these to take a 3 day trip and see this amazing place

[@Prone-Ski_BX]

Yo, JC you are a celebrity!! Nice

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey JC Good to see ya sir. Looks like you got em figure out over there. Like your truck camping vids. Glad that worked out for you. Watched you make that dream come true. Do you ever worry about critters getting into your bait at night? Is the Google change going to effect your vids?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for being a longtime support of the channel! It's fun to look back and see how piece by piece the vision is occurring. I was concerned about the shrimp being out, but I had a trail camera up and thought it might make good content if a critter did get into it, but no problems occurred. I'm not sure what change you're referring to with Google? Something changed on KZbin around September where fishing/outdoor channel's views and monthly new subscriber counts have continued to be negatively effected. The Internet is always a rollercoaster ride for aspiring entrepreneurs. One change can help increase exposure and another decreases exposure.

[@marcroemelen6836]

Brother next month my girlfriend and I wil be down in southern Florida for camping and fishing. We would like to find a nice camping spot somewhere not too far from Naples. We don’t know much about the area. She has terminal cancer and this is on her bucket list. We have a small pop up camper and a small aluminum boat we’re bringing. Any information you could give us on a nice place to camp and fish would be greatly appreciated.

[@danaparks8812]

Great video bro! You still in Sebastian till this coming Monday, or are you back already (meaning in this past Monday)? If you're going to be down there for a little while I'm sure we'll see a couple more. I've got a couple KZbinrs also Facebook friends on this coast that said when I'm better I should come down and they'll take me out no charge. Not asking for anything like that but I don't think you're offering it either, lol But if I come down, maybe we'll bump into each other. unfortunately that's probably a pipe dream & last minute deal if I decide to do it. Plus I don't really have enough equipment except for some cheap Kmart(😅😅)/Walmart gear that I picked up over the years. I think I've had the same braid on my reels for the last few!😂 Anyway, it's nice to see some of the West coasters going out of their boundaries from time to time. Looks like you're just as successful over here as you are on the west. You know I appreciate everything you do. GOD BLESS
