Spring Break Bassin' - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishinkid2010 · 03-06-2011, 09:03 PM

Finally got a chance to take my kayak out after what seemed like an eternity! All I get to fish for in college is Largemouth Bass, which I absolutely a blast, but I still love terrorizing the spotties and sandies in the bay.

Fishing was kind of slow today. Reilly caught two Sculpin, and and I caught thee Spotted Bay Bass around the Kona Kai club and the Shelter Island Marina throwing small swimbaits slathered in Unibutter, and Mann's Stone Jigs with a craw trailer.

6 weeks of Fraternity pledging, where you have to wear a suit everyday kind of kills your tan! But I am now a full member of Phi Delta Theta!

The larger Spotty I caught.

Here is a sick video Reilly filmed of fishing today.

killer video...looks like a fun day out there... cant beat shorts and a tank top.

mtnbykr2 · 03-07-2011, 07:25 AM

Hey now that's a great video, but shorts? yesterday? Shelter Island?
not where we were...lol...nice job

Nice day!

Cool video indeed - that fast forward paddle back is funny!

jhook · 03-07-2011, 11:05 AM

Very nice! You guys definitely had the right idea staying in the marina.

I was wearing shorts all day. No waders here.

fun fishing tyler. i cant wait to get the pole camera out to la jolla with the kelp beds, seabass, cruising baby makos and dolphins all around. maybe you could pedal through the shallows at the shores with pole camera facing the bottom as we pass over all the leopard sharks once the water warms up

old_rookie · 03-07-2011, 08:27 PM

Cool video. Surprised how clear the water was at the beginning.
I like the ground shots underwater too.

hmmmm... speakers clicking...anyone else having that?

I'm planning on hitting La Jolla Wednesday... you should skip school and go fishing with me. Then you can get some killer footage

I say photoshop, though. How is it possible that your calves are larger than your thighs?

Also, any tips on what software is being used in the making of the video. I recently got a HD GoPro, not to mention a ton of sick footage now. The problem is I have no earthly idea how to put it with music.

Any advice would be great, thanks.

steveooo · 03-08-2011, 08:12 AM

Cool Stuff Tyler

Go lay on the beach for a few days while you are here.

I'm on the special Ann Frank diet.

Not to mention 6 weeks of intense pledging will really put you into shape.

I'm not sure what Reilly used to edit his video with, but I'll be sure to ask him and get back to you. (also feel free to PM me where exactly all that sick footage came from

haha)

If you're on a mac, try iMovie. If on a PC, Windows Live Movie Maker. Both are free and can do most basic movie editing tasks (e.g. Adding/editing soundtracks, title screens, captions etc.).

fishinfreak · 03-08-2011, 07:59 PM

hey guys

i'm using cyberlink powerdirector on my pc (windows 7). my dad got it for me at fry's for about 60 bucks. definently worth getting, does video in reverse, changes video speed, etc. the layout of the program is a lot like imovie, so it's quite easy to use. supports hd and everything and you can save ur final movie in a wide variety of high quality file formats.

by the way, i was using a homemade pole cam for all the shots. i'm sure lots of guys have made their own, but the one i have is pretty simple and works well. i can post pictures if people are interested in seeing it. i'm looking forward to

shots in the kelp this spring (only if the fish are lockjaw and i'm not busy going bendo).

i wish i had the hd gopro for surfing and fishing, but with college next year i am not too eager to spend lots of money. the standard definition shots still turned out pretty well in my opinion.

tight lines

Great vid Tyler & Reilly. Enjoy the fly swatting!

Josh, I use Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 (purchased thru Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-168-_-Product). You can also upload you vids direct to youtube.

roby · 03-08-2011, 08:45 PM

I've been using Sony Vegas http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiohd for a few years. For the price <$50 and what it does, and the ease of use is great. I highly recommend it. It also guides you through step by step on how to do things like fade-in, out, cross fade.... at least the older version did - I would think the new one does too. The link allows for a free trial download too. It was very easy to add music too. Just keep things organized on your PC and you'll be set.
