I'm Jake and ever since I was a tiny kid I have been OBSESSED with fishing. The Goal of this channel is to take you along on my fishing adventures both good and bad and inspire you to "GET OUT AND LIVE ", Which is what the G-O-A-L Fishing stands for. Being outdoors and pursuing fish, however that looks, has always been fulfilling and life giving to me and I hope to share a little of that with you.

What i really enjoy about Jake's videos is that he shows it all. The bad cast, the lost lures, all the cast that dont catch fish. You watch some videos and it is like they catch a fish on every cast. I enjoy the reality of this channel!

@Charles Baker even I have to edit stuff down to make the episodes flow well. It’s hard to take a 5-8 hour trip and turn it into 20 minutes or less.

@michaeltichonuk2176 3 года назад

Yeah...I have a ...similar deal. It began w/trolling motor slung on side too. I certainly appreciate the budget as its also similar...wadda I got. I now steer with rudder (foot) pedals and control speed and reverse with a single rotor switch mounted on center console. With a PWM in line. It's a unit that extents battery use by twice anyways. Heads up. Even being plastic it's still a boat. Bust Out Another Twenty... BTW. The difference having motor mounted on stern is it actually behaves like a shock absorber when standing. Buffers the shaking... Your gunna have such a Blast....

You don't have to register it in Washington. Only if its more than 16ft with a motor, or if you take it out to salt water.

@cuzimnik25 3 года назад

Out in surprise. Can weld up a mount for goal if ever interested. Made one for 2 tamaracks with foot steering and pwm motor controller. Clean installation and works well. Sprinkler drip line for cable sheathing. First "cable" was masonry string but only lasted 2 years. Going to use small cable next. 60amp pwm saves battery down on low speeds 35ah u1h last me all day on small lakes or half a day on bigger lakes. Half day 5am-noon.

@GOALFishing 3 года назад

Sounds like an awesome setup.

@cuzimnik25 3 года назад

Yeah the 60amp pwm allowed me to remove the head off the motor and remotely mount the switch and power knob. It also has a forward-off-reverse switch. I went 60amp for efficiency because the 30 amp got hot.

@canam2436 2 года назад

After watching many videos of these diy motor hook ups I see that when you put it on the back there is MANY more electrical problems to deal with. The back would be better cause I assume when on the side you need to be wary of your steering.. be careful steering and no electrical work, the build is great

@Justin Newton it worked pretty good. The tracking takes a little getting used to and I used straps to strengthen it up a bit after the first trial run.

I plan on doing this to my sea kayak, but I am nervous now. I got a 55 lb Newport Vessels motor, and plan to do what you did. Do you think it will be as effective on a sea kayak?

@GOALFishing 3 года назад

@Andrew Collazo you will want to make sure everything is glued and you may want to embrace it with some straps. I have made a rear mount and I think it’s much better. I think it will work for you though.

@AndrewJPlays 3 года назад

@@GOALFishing yes I built a replica of what you made, but it seems fragile once the weight if the motor was added. I dont want to give up, but all of the weight is pressing down on the PVC pipe that is on the motors side of the kayak. When I folded the motor to test how it would do it was nearly pulling the rod holder out

@GOALFishing 3 года назад

@@AndrewJPlays mine held pretty good but after a trial run I put some straps on it and that made a big difference. With my kayak I was able to strap it from the mount to the seat and from the mount to the cargo net rings. Don’t know what you have available to you, but that might be an option for you.

@willbill2209 3 года назад

@@GOALFishing Thanks for the quick reply! I meant at the T junction where you mounted your 2x4. Since it's just tightened to the PVC coming out of your rod hole does it slowly turn downward as you apply pressure by holding the arm of the motor plus the weight of the motor itself?

@Tom Kelly the steering can be done by moving the motor, I have changed up my design a lot since this video. I have moved mine to the back rather than the side. It tracks way better that way. Here’s the link to that video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7cXoEpGEeDQ.html but I have made even more improvements on that since I made that video.

@user-de8oi1td2o 9 месяцев назад

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ru-vid.comUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
