Trans-America road trip!

[@adaptgaming8501]

Baja

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I think you should go to Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, in Canada, or to Saskatchewan and Manitoba, in Canada. You would have great fishing adventures on Vancouver Island. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have many freshwater lakes, and I think you would have some great fishing adventures there too. Cheers! ✌️

[@bubbamyers8344]

Here's a suggestion: You guys should take the van down to Cabo San Lucas so you can say that you've taken the van along the entire west coast of North America! (excluding mainland Mexico). It would also be cool if you spent time in some of the towns along the way to Cabo. I'm sure you're aware, but Baja (especially the Sea of Cortez) has some of the best fishing in the world with a crazy amount of different species ranging in various shapes and sizes. I think that would be an amazing series on the channel with lots of cooking and fishing along the way. Plenty of new catch and cooks too!

[@elroc1]

Yeah, Baja is amazing. Lots of little towns that would be fun to travel through and tons of coastline. Beautiful drive down the 1D

[@_Tang0_]

Since you're taking suggestions, I'll go big: Visit every national park. Do collaborations with small businesses in the area like you did in Alaska. Maybe some youtube fisherman/outdoorsman collabs? Work your way across country and back. On the flip side, it's been cool watching your adventures evolve from local foraging and fishing to kayaking and now interstate adventures. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

National Park series would be sooo good!

[@desertfairychickres4021]

The National Parks series is a great idea but Please invest in a Personal Locator Beacon per Dave Paulides. MANY folks go up and missing in National Parks worldwide.

[@MM-gg3rg]

@@desertfairychickres4021 yes! We had an experienced fire fighter/hiker disappear from the Big Sur coast (central Cali) David Paulides did an episode on his missing 411! Made the local paper. He was camping with a friend and his dog. The dog heard a noise, ran into the forest. The fire fighter went after him. The dog made it back to the camp, the fire fighter was never seen again!!!!

Yall should come to Florida in the cooler months. Lots of good fishing . The sheepshead are already moving in. mangrove snapper are starting to move in too.

The gulf coast would be a great move.

[@simonhernandez6594]

If your lucky enough you can cast a line on land and catch you an Iguana also 😂😂😂😂

[@chapter4travels]

I really like the low tide foraging episodes. Maybe some smoking/canning of different fish, salmon, mackerel, sardines, squid etc.

[@samsodien1]

Loved the intro! My 11 year old niece is such a picky eater but in the last year she's had sushi, salmon and just tried a LOT of things she wouldn't normally try. And she'll say, it's like Taku. So, well done!! 💯😎

[@davescheer5038]

Well the van is tested And you’ve probably figured out the routine by now , you said for fans to tell you your next adventure, but I think that you should do what you enjoy , after all this is your dream escape to doing what you like , we’re just along for the ride , and we enjoy watching whatever you two do , 👍🏼

[@treatsnaturalpetmarketplac3999]

Hello Taku, Would LOVE to host you and Jocelyn at our simple little beach cottage in Popoyo, Nicaragua. No joke! This is an invitation. Been along for the ride with you for a while. We have lots of good fishing, surfing, and good fun.

[@MrLarryalvarado]

Check out the south. Louisiana and Florida. Especially the gulf coast. Lots of good fishing in the fall. Redfish!

[@jeffb4612]

I made pickled red onions a while back and put them on fish tacos.

[@nces1111]

Take it on down the west coast to mexico. Awesome fishing in baja!

[@jeremymaccarthy1180]

Taku, I simply love you and Jocelyn! You guys seem so nice, genuine, kind and humble! People you'd love to sit by a fire, shoot the shit and have a drink with! Been with you since the beginning!

[@david-iam]

Go south. Bay of LA is just a magical place that’s perfect for a camping van. So many fish from the beach. And rent a panga and have them take you to the island with the lagoon with clams for the picking. So delicious!

[@stevegamez2825]

Hello you two glad the trip went well I’m sure it was very exciting and the van ran well through out entire trip👍 hey suggestion how about fishing down in Baja Mexico some outstanding fishing and excellent food there just something to consider can’t wait to see you both on the next adventure wherever you both decide to go be well stay safe peace ✌️

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Baja is definitely high on the list!

[@farkled]

@@OutdoorChefLife Hit me up when you get here. I haven't fished since I got to Baja, but my wife and I can definitely show you some good eats.

[@VeronicaRyanVideos]

@@OutdoorChefLife If you do Baja, I highly recommend Bahia de los Angeles. If you go soon, you might be able to see/swim with whale sharks. We went last year (did a couple videos on it) and it was such a great time. The trip in was beautiful, the town & locals are awesome, and the food can't be beat. Plenty of yellowtail to go around down there since there's no commercial fishing allowed.

[@siddarthbhagirath5883]

Heck yeah early on the upload today!!! Taku, what if you took a trip to the Great Lakes region? Visit farmhouses, explore the fall harvests, and perhaps even go regular fishing! I wouldn't suggest any ice fishing or staying there too long, but it would be awesome if you came on the eastern seaboard/close enough to it!!! Maybe get some pizza too haha. Love your van build and zen-worthy vids Taku!!!!

[@gearlist]

Lots of awesome ideas in the comments, excited for what's next!

[@MrBern91]

Maybe not quite yet at this moment... But how about going to Europe for fishing and cooking adventures? :) Oh and also... Those cliffs looks lethal! O.O

[@jessejmoralesjr9990]

Well outdoor Chief life . I'd know of Most Wonderful place you an you're partner Could go fishing 🎣🎣 at . That is Arizona North of Arizona way North . Not in Phoenix Arizona maybe few places. As I'd sead saying going North of Arizona up in Mountains are The Best lake's an Rivers trout and stripers . You will have the best time of your lives just ask anybody around the reservations around Phoenix Arizona and north of Arizona I hope you folks will enjoy fishing out there so please try to head out that way and have the best of time ever. And by the way out there in Arizona you're running to a lot of Apache Indians they know more and the best.

[@eviljonbob_]

I would love to see you go out east in Canada. Visiting provinces such as Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Off the coast of Newfoundland you can take a ferry to St Pierre and Miquelon, the last remnants of the French Empire in North America. This small, tiny Island It's unlike anything else in North America. Full of French cuisine, culture, and traditions just like mainland France. Keep up the amazing videos.

[@jbren1234]

The Upper Peninsula Michigan! I live in southern MI but going to the “UP” was something my family and I did my whole life

[@victorlui5955]

Sup Taku. Fish tacos!!! I think you should go to Florida. They have tuna fishing and maybe you can make some blue fin tuna otoro.

[@39jaker]

You should go to Baja drive down to Cabo fishing and cooking along the way. Check out the sea of Cortez. That would be bad ass trip. Thanks for the videos.

[@Tayuss79]

I’m gonna suggest Mexico 🇲🇽 good fishing lots of tacos 🌮 and a nice warm environment 👍🏻

[@nathanieldortch399]

San Diego California, you should do a van trip to San Diego California we have fantastic fishing area's and beaches for over night staying

I recommend heading to West Virginia just went there a few days ago, the trout really are biting this time of year.

[@DontCare1990]

Along the coast of Baja California, why? because Cabo San Lucas is a nice reward for a long drive.

Definitely would be amazing!

[@NeiltheDeal]

I heard Alaska is a great place to visit. You should go there next.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

[@danielryan007]

You should do a trip down baja california. Awesome fishing, great little local fishing towns (especially Bahia de los Angeles) and the route is beautiful. Not only that, it's safe too.

[@39jaker]

My dad use to fish the bay of Los Angeles, he'd used 10 lbs. Yellowtail as bait to catch big ass grouper. Lots great small fishing villages on both Pacific coast side and the sea of Cortez side as well.Baja is one of a kind.

[@SirKibblestein]

That sponsorship segment was beautifully shot. Incorporating your cooking with the product while talking about the details was smooth and well-done. Side note: music seemed WAY LOUDER than your voice; this difference was too large, so I found myself lowering the volume during those loud music segments. I love the content! Keep it up!

Last thing I have to say is enjoy what you're doing now cause you never know what's around the corner..

[@KoobyYin]

I definitely recommend a trip through out BC and Alberta, the fishing is great, the lakes are super pretty along the border, and there's a lot of sightseeing to be done, including really awesome glaciers. I don't have the finances to be a guide or anything and my fishing skills are -100, but I know for a fact you won't regret it.

Love watching your channel. But like with MOST sponsors, just can't get behind these "online" products. They're the new "As Seen on TV" products of the current day. Nice fancy packaging, some hip "promo" with aggressive marketing with MEDIOCRE overpriced product. $40 for 12oz bottle of olive oil?

[@thasco]

Absolutely love you two. Awesome to see fellow Bay Area folks making it happen.

[@christopherjones3614]

Honestly for Fall Fishing Ontario, CANADA 🇨🇦 is truly amazing. The Pickeral (Walleye) and Muskie (Musky) are going to be biting well from now through October and there are a lot of trophies caught every year here. Two exceptional “Hot Spots” that produce every season for me are The Bay Of Quinte (which is located on Lake Ontario) - excellent Walleye fishing here with fish typically 8 to 12 Lbs. Also The Ottawa River has great musky fishing with most fish averaging over 25 Lbs and some much larger. A boat is a must and there’s lots of guided charter fishing if you want to go that route. I’ve fished both for many, many years now and guarantee you’d have an awesome time and get some great video content. Take care and stay safe!!!

[@joshsmith9558]

Florida. Collabs with darcizzle offshore, deermeatfordinner, blue gabe. Snakehead fishing in maryland and virginia.

Family-run business on Kauai does this exact same thing except they do it Naturally, w/out boiling water. Process takes, at least, 90-120 days. Can probably find their product in W Coast markets/stores/shops or on-line

[@moscowdrugmule3923]

Definitely swing by the East Coast! Specifically, the New England area. Lots of great fishing, lobstering, clamming, you name it!

[@celyl]

Have you been to New Brunswick The Bay of Fundy? The tide varies 20 meters twice a day. Lobster, clams and oysters are popular here. Plus the cost of homes are 1/10th of west coast, maybe less. The St Croix river with St Stephen and St Andrew to the north and Maine to the south, where saltwater meets fresh water. Lot's foraging and fishing.

[@lazytyrantthao4637]

Go Minnesota land of 10,000 lakes for ice fishing. I’m sure there is a couple of Minnesota KZbinrs out there you can collaborate with. Any Minnesota KZbinrs out there let Taku know you want him there.

[@hobinrood710]

East to 97. South to Crater Lake. Stay on 97 southbound until the 5 in Weed, CA. Do Shasta. South on 5 to 299 and head west to Arcata. Fish the many rivers in that area, camping, redwoods, more mushrooms. And then east to Tahoe, Utah, Colorado after a stop back home in the Bay area. Your welcome.

You should consider going to Florida. Tons of canal, Jetty, bridge and lake fishing. Lotta potential catch and cooks from freshwater, salt, canal waters plus pythons iguanas and Charter fishing. Then when you’re done you could head on up north towards Boston cross back to the West Coast through Colorado Montana Idaho.

[@Enders1315]

[@chrissd08]

NW Montana late July. Huckleberries are the why. Oh yeah, we got some decent fishing too....

[@n8xu]

Consider Lake Erie in Pennsylvania and/or New York. It is a super walleye and Perch fishery as well as some hatchery raised steelhead and a super black bass fishery particularly smallmouth. I had a boat at the eastern extreme, Northeast Marina but the eastern end (Ohio) probably yields more walleye. Enjoy. Your videos.
