Truck Camping In HEAT ADVISORY (Fishing Skyway Pier)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Extreme heat truck camping and fishing the South Skyway Pier. In this video I'm staying overnight during the summer and it's very hot. This pier is located in St. Petersburg Florida and is open for 24 hours. It's a very popular place for people to fish. Free camping is available in areas that are at either end of the main Skyway bridge, but I had to pay $8 to access the pier.

Can you tell us more about your aerator?
I was wondering the same thing
It's called "Fish Saver" amzn.to/3rOmTwU
Operates on 12 volt power. I'm using this lithium battery amzn.to/3YmxvPP You can get a lead/acid battery for much cheaper, but it will be heavier. Thanks for watching and asking the question.

Tundra gang!
Skyway camping, great. Nature calling when fishing alone...😮😢
YES SIR!!! You’re Best video so far. Great job JC, you are LIVING LIFE to its fullest. You’ve shown many people its not always about the catchin. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. 👍👍👍
Someone needs to sponsor this man! He deserves it
We need another skyway fishing class from Bushi or Thonny.
These videos are great, my daughter and myself love watching them.
Hey JC the next time you go out make sure you check the regulations. New rules regarding gear and hooks go into effect October 1. From November 15 to March 15 sabikis (among other setups) will not be allowed. Based on this video you may not be able to catch anything next time you go out. 🤣
Ha ha...now that's funny. Thanks for the info.
Well JC, thats why they call it fishing, not catching !. 😂 At least you enjoyed !
Man ... I give you lots of credit for grinding in that heat the way you did. I enjoyed watching this Skybridge fishing adventure.
JC you should do more truck camping videos!! Their the best videos!!
You need to get 1 or 2 RV roof vents and mount to the roof of the cap.
I'd mount 2,one opening to the pass side and the other to the drivers. It'll leave the heat out,but if there is a breeze they'll catch some of it if it moving front to back or one will catch it if it's from either side. adding the fan to either window will help also,either use it to push or pull depending on the breeze,but def need 1 vent to let the hot air rise and escape.
Good job JC I love your energy and everything you bring to the videos god bless you.
Those Monster coffees hit like that every time 😂😂
We used to hang a bait lantern, the gas one with the mantles, with a reflective lid just over the top of the water. Makes it even easier to catch bait and it also draws in bigger fish.
I remember the over night stays at Skyway, it always seemed to be the night before they were biting good. I completely understand! But that is why it is fishing, not catching. The adventure of it and that epic sunrise must have been worth it!
Nice job with all the content, much appreciated and fishing on the Skyway is one of a kind deal. Thanks again
Dang son that was wicked!!!🤣🤣I was wondering when you got up at 530 how long it was gonna take you to realize, I better drink that monster drink near the bathroom, and there you went!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you took your hat off I immediately thought that’s the first time he has taken his hat off. I like these vlog style videos. Especially you teaching the youngsters.
Thank you JC I have a little hair thinning and loss where I always wore a baseball cap working as a semi truck driver.
Absolutely love the truck camping videos. Really appreciate your dedication and hard work to make them. Especially in this hot weather. 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻
Lol.."Dang son , that was wicked " been in the same situation, that cold coffee kicked in & look out! 😂
That chuck eye is the first cut after the ribeye.. they usually don't make it to the sales floor in my shop! All the meat cutters buy them!! 😂😂
I’d enjoyed your truck camping videos, I even forgot you were fishing at times!! 👍🏽 👍🏽
One man show u got it going on Bro keep them catch clean and cook's up I like when you clean them and cook em up u right doesn't get better than this live it while you got life
JC, your enthusiasm in this video is highly contagious brother!! Rock on!
you should look into getting the Utilitech 20-in 3-Speed Indoor Black Floor Fan from lowe's. my friend and I call it the 747 fan, for around $50 it was a good purchase kept me cool through out the night.
When I owned a cabinet shop I used the same type fans. They really put out the air, good idea. I'm getting one for sure now.
Bathroom scenario had me laughing out loud. Usually within 45-90 of caffeine it hits me, sometimes there’s a warning and other times its like a speeding freight train….
Ha ha... I was hoping someone would catch the humor and relate.
We love those truck camping videos. We Try to do that every weekend from New Jersey to Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. You have to open up side windows and let air in.
Sounds great!
You need to put a roof vent or two in Look on rv camper websites. You can get vents with a small fan built in. They crank up and down and you can vent covers so you can leave them open while it rains.
Great idea for sure, thanks.
It's so nice to be able to park and stay overnight in your Truck. I Fly Fish and love loading up my vehicle and just going fishing. Thanks
The grouper out at the skyway love penn fish.
Welcome to Tampa. So, there is a faucet where you can get saltwater for your bucket.. its by the bait shop. Because of the pelican situation, they recently banned sabiki rigs unfortunately. Go for grouper on the outgoing tides over the rock piles, but the dolphins will probably get your bait before it makes its way out there. Water depth runs 6 - 10 feet depending on where you are.
The ban doesn't go into affect until November 15th
Wish I still had you stamina in the heat, I love this area as much as you... !!! Gonna do some sky way pier fishing when it cools a bit.. Didn't catch much of anything but still a great fishing video. It is about life more sometimes.
Should have used the table to eat JC. Just put a white table clothe and candle and you would be all set.
You should get you a small window ac and when sleeping put it in the side window and when traveling move it inside the sleeper! Would open many many overnight options for you.
There’s a video on bluegabe’s channel where a cooler is used to cool air. It has very efficient fans and ducting to blow on you. It works great all night long.
Those 1st gen Tundras are awesome!
I really enjoyed the Vid. Especially when I made into your Vid as I was Pulling up. North pier had nothing also. Went To sand Key today like I said I was..Came home with 3 pomps Tight lines JC.
It was good talking with you. It sounds like you had a good time catching some Pompano.
Great video like always my friend you crack me up. I think the post office lost my invitation😂
Ha ha...you only missed a delicious steak dinner. I want to try this camping outing again during the fall when the Spanish are running and possibly some Pompano. Let's go bro!
@@RadReelingFishing let me know I'm up for a skyway adventure 😀💪
You da' man, JC! You are fun to watch. You show the reality of fishing and truck camping. Great job. You are absolutely correct sir, it's all about the adventure and making the best of what comes around. Keep on keeping on brother. God bless.
You are having to much fun 👍👍👍😀
Its always first thing in the morning anyone who hasnt been on there way fishing and had to poop on the side of the road because nothings open is either lying or dont fish much😂
Ha ha...kayak fishing is the worst too. I don't know how these guys kayak fish in the cold weather with layers upon layers of cloths, unless they wear diapers. Thanks for watching.
Damn good job with that rock pile map!
Living the dream!! Great job jc!! Next time lmk I'll meet you out there. Im right down the street!🤙🤙
sounds good, i have your info
Great video living your best life I just booked a truck rental for my boy and I to truck camp out there in 2 weeks maybe we’ll see ya
Living the dream brother
this is so awesome, please do more.
the megaheadlamp 9000!!
Your Crazy J.C., Man you are sure the hardest working youtuber on the planet ,all that gear and cooking and camping and catchin bait ,your livin Life to fullest Brother I love it .Thanks for all you do to make content for US... Tight Lines
What an adventure, stay safe and keep up the good work.
You can use Google maps on your phone when your out at the pier to find the rock piles too. No need to print anything. My GPS location on my phone is pretty accurate and you can see the piles clearly on the map.
I tried that the other day, but the view had too much reflection on the water. Maybe when Google updates it will be different.
Fantastic video my friend.. I really enjoyed it.
Awesome interaction with the kids 👏😎 I am also in St.Pete, born and raised. I love the skyway and treasure island I hope to run into you soon ☝️👏‼️💪🏽 Awesome content
Dude living life🤟🏽😎
great video JC
Yep, you gotta hydrate a bunch cause you been sweating all day and night. Better eat good too. I think this is a great video idea. I want to take my CaraYakvan and do that now. I love seeing you have fun JC. This was really a fun video... hope you do it again. Life is Fun.
love how empty the skyway is in the morning, heck yea JC
Looks like a great time jc
Time to try the North pier as it seems the South pier sucks. Might want to get a Sabiki rod too. LOL 😁
This guy makes the best videos ever ❤❤❤
Never use soap on cast iron pan. Wash in water only. It will become non stick ! Love your vids
Try going to the keys and doing this
I really enjoy your videos! I come down to that area twice a year from the Hoosier State and stay in Treasure Island. If you ever want a fishing buddy, let me know!
lol I had the extreme opposite experience on that pier once back in the 90's ..I chaperoned a Police Athletic League overnight fishing trip. It got down to 28 degrees that night and all we had were sleeping bags on that cold cold concrete lol..I'll never forget it. Needless to say we didnt sleep much ha
Great trip! Lawry’s seasoning rocks. Nice to see the whole dinner experience. Great idea! Nice of you to interact kindly with the younger crowd. I wonder how one of those steaks would work for night fishing. Haha….pulling up 5 gallons is impressive! When nature calls… hilarious! You just never know on the skyway…. Good effort.
Man i live way to close by not to try this. Thanks for a great idea dude!
It was really a lot of fun. I'm guessing that the fishing will be much better during fall. I'm going to go again for sure and stay all night!
OK JC you da man!
i have had good luck pulling grouper from the rocks with frozen sardins. but all are usually just under size.
Enjoy the sabiki out there while you can
For the sabiki, it has 6 hooks on it. When not using the rod take the top 2 and hook them together, then the middle 2, and the bottom 2.
Need a bucket with a trash bag and toilet seat. One of those Pop-up changing tents and no more long rides to the outhouse.😥
Very very nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
JC my hero, guess you have been rubbing up against the headboard.
You should get some green glow sticks and tie them to some string and drop it over the side into the water. It will attract fish
You need to get one of those power stations and a portable AC next time
Always great fishing the skyway but it is tough to get quality fish. Mostly catch bait for the boat trip 39 hr with Hubbard's marina. I have done the same camping thing. Very relaxing and enjoyable
Great video! Had the same experience on Monday evening at skyway only caught bait fish! lol! Next day I went to Sebastian which is so much closer to home and caught 2 snook and 7 mangroves! Not gonna give up on skyway tho!😂
picking the hottest time of the year JC! If the heat don't kill you , those Walmart groceries will. lol. most people are catching snapper with cut bait after chumming them up.
Hey JC. I'm in FL as well. I love my DeWalt battery powered fan to help deal with the heat. You're right though, they only do so much in this heat.
JC, holler at me and I can help point you in some right directions. BtW lost 2 HUGE Spanish today. But they're out there! That was after I limited on mangroves.
I know JC can fish based on his videos, but he totally looks like someone who doesn't fish the Skyway often lol. Not degrading him in any way. The Skyway can aggravate even regulars out there. If nothing else he needs to try dropping straight down next to the pilings and letting the current carry it under his feet. Either way spending a night out there is a blast even if you don't catch anything. Best sunrises and sunsets in the Tampa area.
There's a lot of pier to cover to find where the good locations are. Feel free to email me at radreelingfishing gmail if you'd like to share some info...Thanks
HEY J C, Fun fishing / camping trip. Wished you'd skip the Nature Call segment but since I had to see it ---- Do they keep those restrooms clean? is there running water? Hot water? soap and towels? But most important - WAS THERE PAPER???? And I wonder where the waste goes since they are in the middle of the Bay. Maybe I don't want to know 🙂. See you on the next one.
I remember fishing there caught a bunch of tiny baitfish. Only thing big I caught on a hard cast was a pick up truck on the bridge almost got spooled man!😂🤣 I’m not a fan of that spot.
I enjoyed it. My wife wants to do it. I'm not sure about it. Lol. Much respect to you JC!
Go for it!
Great video JC! Never seen you fish Emerson Point. You should definitely try it out.
Sounds good! I'm guessing you're talking about kayak fishing?
Yes. I’ve been there a few times. Never disappoints!
JC, that Diet Coke is bad for. I have been addicted to it for many many years:)
Nice video.
Grass don't grow on a busy street 🙂
I live 15 min from the skyway and I NEVER fish there, if that tells you anything. Look up Piney Point waste water disaster and you’ll understand why Bay Area fishing is going downhill fast🙃
I never caugth nothing but mackerel there but fun
Agreed! I wouldn't waste anymore time there! Even though I enjoyed watching!
yo jc, Love the vids. next time u go out to the skyway, try thrwoijg LIVE SHRIMP with an egg weight to the bottom of each light on the north side. So mant gator trout over there and mangrobe snapper. We limited out.
Thanks for the tips. I'll have to try the north side I guess. When were you there?
@@RadReelingFishing we were there abiut a week and a half ago. Going again tonight
SUbbed. Love your work.
May I suggest you lower a snook light next time? I enjoy your channel 🎣😎🇺🇸
I’ve had trips we’re everything was perfect but the fish weren’t in the mood…😅. I see I’m not the only one
I don’t wanna go to school mom.😂😂😂😂
Hi JC! Skunking sucks but that's why they call it fishing and not catching right? You still put out great videos that I learn something from eventhough I'm in California. So don't be too bummed you'll catch them next time!
i love going to the skyway!! wanting to go again one of these days, last time i went i saw some HUGE tarpon but they didnt want to bite even with squid. and the time i went before that i hooked into some sort of giant grouper, went straight down couldnt stop him.
edit: for anyone wondering i was using a heavy 80-130lb rated rod with a offshore angler seafire 9/0 with about 1000 yds or so of 100 lb braid, i set the drag a little too much and broke off because i was using 50lb leader which was too light for that fish, now i have 300lb leader, maybe overkill lol
Man, that is my life when I retire. I hope.......
Damn man you are really livin it up, awesome to see. Im planning on going to skyway soon, hope to see you man!
You need to start reviewing composting toilets
Those chuck eye steaks are THE PLAY. Honestly better than a ribeye IMO and cheaper.
Awesome experience!
