I just found your channel. Love it. I've been guiding for 55 years. Your boat and trailer hacks are great. The foam around the wires and cables to reduce noise is genius. I can't stand irritating noises. The lights on top of the PVC on trailer was another. Thanks

You rock young man. I'm building a 14 foot 55' Alumacraft ' V bottom into a fishing machine. Gonna wrap my motor lines, get some of those buoy fasteners, and mount a yardstick on my port rod locker. FIsh on!

Good ones....definitely going to use some of these. Especially the bumper hangers. I got one for you...I run a stereo in my boat that has a small remote, go under or inside (or anywhere) of your dash and glue a magnetic on the opposite side of where you would like your remote to hang and then glue a thin piece of sheet metal to the back of the remote, keeps it from bouncing or sliding around and getting lost. Also glued a magnet under my motor cover (I have a 5.7L inboard) to hold it in place so I can control the stereo from the back when we are swimming and hanging around the swim platform. And yes I fish out of my 95 Sea Ray...I turned the walk thru bow into a casting deck with a swivel bass fishing seat and remote control trolling motor.

Like the tips for phone and cup holder. I'm going to 'borrow' them.😁 those bumpers can also be used for floating devices

Excellent video. My son who is 15 just purchased a used 17’ with a 35hp Evenrude. We are looking for ideas for storage and to get the most out of the space that we have. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated.

Some good tips, and additional one for the phone: My android has a setting where you can voice command it to take the picture using a few different commands. That way you don't have to set the timer...I just open the camera and say"shoot" and its done.

Great information. Thanks for this video!

Awesome information, thank you for sharing!

hacks are creative, inventive and always fun to watch. I have a plastic cup holder/tool holder that I clamp on the boat with those spring loaded wood worker clothes pin type clamps. very secure and I can quickly put it where ever I want.

Just got a new boat, sweet tips man!

Great video. Good ideas. Just bought an Alumacraft. Plan on copying a few of your mods especially the gorilla glue. I always have a hard time drilling permanent holes in a perfectly good boat. I especially like the tool holder with little holes for lures!!. I would have bet a million dollars your grand finale would have been drum roll American Flag lol

Awesome video you have me some great ideas 👍

Would like to see what you did with you transom tranducer mount you talked about with the cutting board. Great video thanks for sharing it. 👍

GOOD VID. some great mods

Thanks for the video, nice ideas. I need a new windscreen for my boat, do you know what you have on yours?

I like the cutting board tool holder!

Great video buddy what navionics map are you using for your phone

Dude I’ve watched a couple videos and also have a RU-vid channel but I LOVE the tips and mods I will use these! Thank you so much

Very good ideas thanks for sharing

You need to show your lighting for night fishing on your boat. Good video and job 👍👍👍🤘🇺🇸

good stuff man. Like the mods. Esp the tool holder.

Thanks for this

Ive done five of those mods to my boat also.i like the one with wrapping the steering cable with pipe insulation

Really good ideas. Great video…

Great ideas Thanks.

Good stuff!! Thanks

Any thoughts or tips on how you would rig a tracker Magna 19 bow rider if you had a fresh slate?

Great tips. I have an old 20 HP outboard. If I put 8 of the stickers on my boat it will give me the power of a new 100 HP motor! Cool 😎

Heck yeah let's go i Just bought a 16ft boat and plann on making the mods although not everything is the same 😂😂

Cup holders for......"coffee"

What lake were you in when you did this video, i usually fish upper shin pond when i get up to maine

Great video man.lots of great ideas 🤟

I built side bunk guides, went up the side little further so I could see them when in water. I live in Washington State NW.

just a side mote for #8 I believe it was. The insulation he uses is typically found by water heaters or copper pipe in hardware stores or HD or Lowes respectively. It's used for copper water line insulation and mostly found in 1/2" and 3/4" inside diameter (possibly 1" as well). Also I would recommend getting UV rated zip tips to extend the life before the plastic becomes brittle and comes apart.

Good stuff

Like the bumper brackets! That's handier than the tie cleat. Tool organizer go to the $1 Store to get a cutting board to chop up. #8 is a great idea, going on mine! #10....no

Good tips

I like the idea of the double sided garilla tape

I like the ship. What type is this?

What’s the door material in your boat??

Thamks

Everett lures

hey brotha, whereabouts you from, i’m down in south berwick and i recently got back into fishing and could definitely use some of your tutelage. i’m woefully lacking in fishin buddies.

Comin to the county?

Hey trout whisper, thanks for the tips. Great to see you enjoying your flyrod! This is not a criticism, but you can really add to your fly casting enjoyment by watching some instructional fly casting videos. You could cast 3 x's farther. And your cast would not "weakly die". You would enjoy it so much more! And you could cast into the wind. 1. Start your back cast with the rod tip, just in the water. 2. Accelerate from 0 to a fast hard stop stright up at 12:00. Try to stop at 12, but really you will stop a little past, or so 3. The (key) is the hard stop "with out bending" your wrist...!! This stop is where the true power comes from! Remember, don't bend your wrist until after the stop! 4. Pause, let the line straighten out on your back cast. 5. Now start your forward cast (same as the backcast) accelerate to a hard forward stop (high stop) at about 3:00 position. The hard stop causes the weight of the line to load the rod and spring/shoot the line forward. 6. Not critical, but your bending the wrist is killing the power of your cast. Bending your wrist eliminates the hard stops that are "essential" for a loading/launching your cast. Just to give you an understanding....with proper technique, you can cast the entire fly line. Admittedly this takes Knowledgeable practice, takes awhile. 7. Your best bet is to go to a fly shop, and sign up for some lessons!! The technique is both simple, suttle and absolutely "not" obvious and discernable by merely watching a good caster. 8. With proper flycasting skill.....fly fishing is truly magical. And surface fishing is so pleasurable and rewarding. With a flyrod, you can have fun, even with little fish. So now let me steal 3 minutes of your life...watch the RU-vid video "in search of the perfect loop" one of the worlds smoothest, tight, pointed loop casters you will ever see! After you watch this video, you will understand.... Your friend just jim

Your "bumper" is called a fender. One tip for you: Take that PVC rod holder tube out, heat the end with a torch or heat gun and shove a wine bottle into it so the end "bells" out a little. That will save your line guides.

How to turn medium size zfishing boat in drivable on road

Hi

Does the sticker make your significant other ok with you fishing all weekend without her?

How much did cost to wrap your boat

I've been studying constructing boats and discovered a fantastic resource at Denelle boat builder (check it out on google)

Hey man what kind of boat is that ?

4' bruh

👍🏼

I bet if you’ve had one season on the water you now have folding junk holders I’ve had two or three of them on my boat and they just do not hold up

FYI...That is a meter stick not a yard stick.

What boat is this exactly

i need that sticker because, as of now at 45years old i am yet to catch my first fish i shit you not, ive never caught a fish going kayak fishing in a few weeks when my kayak arrives in australia

Personally I put my net holder against the counsel

Me (not the most intelligent) *uses these tips in the commercial industry and actually succeeds in life*

did not see anything about the Flags flying in the back!

By the way -They are not called Bumbers. They are called fenders - Cars have Bumbers and Boats you Fend off so they are called Fenders

I wish i can afford a boat! Haha

Camera mounts? To go fishing? Why?

Cup holder doubles as a spare key holder.

GOOD HACKS MISS FISHING WIFE SAID SHE LIKE TO START GOING AGAIN

All of your tips are great except for the covering of your electric and fuel lines. Very bad idea. Most boaters don't know how to or just don't do a safety check on their boat. If your fuel line starts leaking and you have it covered it will create a very bad situation. Same for covering up your battery to motor wiring. Covering your control cables is a good idea for that area but please don't cover your fuel lines for any reason.

Are you serious that's how i spell my name bet im finding that for my boat i was honest asleep when you showed the sticker now im wide awake

A little over 3 ft its uhh 48 in😂😂😂😂 u mean like.... 4ft

I would just use a texter pen and mark out my ruler intervals... No drilling involved

That is a meter stick, not a ruler

It’s not 3 feet it’s 48 inches 😭😭😭 so 4 ft

Flag on a baby boat. lol

you got a dislike for number 10 lol

Boring ass video jk dope mods thanks ill be using a few of these

I see your from the rangeley region. I'm guessing you shot this video on mooselookmeguntic lake or rangeley lake. nice boat but you don't look old enough to be a trout whisper. a true trout whisper speaks to all the trout not just the ones in the lakes. A true true whisper knows where to catch the big trout in the streams and the small brooks where nobody else would thing to go or dare to take a boat. you need to remember to be called a ture trout whisper you need first to catch big fish like eleven pound rainbow trout. (yes I know places where I can catch them like that and bigger all day long. and no not at a fish hatchery either.)

You actually walk around with that dumb ass wire sticking out a foot from your head?? Special are we..

Once you get use to your new Skidoo. Mods for the new Expedition Sled?? Just an idea.
