Pelican Bass Raider 10E: Fishing Lake Woodlands
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Welcome back! I fished Lake Woodlands for the first time this past Saturday (08/24/19) and managed to catch a pretty good one! Lake Woodlands is a very nice lake and I look forward to fishing it more in the future. This outing had its moments for sure; I almost ended up falling in the lake, and was able to help recover a rower's water bottle after he capsized his boat. Unfortunately, I was unable to improve my TourneyX score for the month of August during this outing, but I still have a few days left for the month! Thanks for watching and it would be awesome to have you as a subscriber!
Below is a list of items I used on the boat:
J-Hook:

Pad Eye:

shock cord:

Richard DeMore thanks! Tight lines to you!
This boat is niiìce!!
I have the same problem can`t stand either lol . No but it can be a little challenging trying to move around in one I have one myself and I`m 300lb. Nice Bass . Glad to see the fishing part I seen your Build part like it .
Super nice casting/gigging deck
thymekiller thanks!
Wow! I've been fishing Lake Woodlands since '94 off and on. I caught a crappie there that missed the state record by 1/2 inch... I'm relatively new to your channel and will keep an eye out for you whenever I go fishing there again. Atb - Luther
Love the setup. Usually when I manage to fall it's out and
terry mccorkle thanks for the compliment! Thankfully I’ve never fell out, but I know it’s bound to happen someday.
That looks like a great lake you got there! Looking forward to the next vid!
I used to fish Lake Woodlands exclusively! I planted several PCV pipe structures that I can share the locations with you. Biggest Crappie out of that lake was almost 4lbs! 19-3/4"
Hi Chris, I am not that familiar with Lake Woodlands. I think it’s a really nice lake. Also, it’s only about 15 minutes away from the house. Yes, I would love to know where the habitats are located! 4lb crappie - that’s incredible! My email is:

Thanks!
Wow! I didn't expect to see you fall like that. Don't feel bad because I fall all a time in my little boat.🤣😂🤣 man that's a really nice little boat you have there. Good video.🙂
Love your fishing deck and floor I got a e8 coming this week.
I gave u a thumbs up just because of the excellent recovery from the little tumble I like what you did to the boat good job fishing to
Richard DeMore thanks! I thought for sure I was getting wet, but somehow managed to stay dry 😳
The only problem with lake woodlands is they don’t allow gasoline motors. They used to allow you to only troll with them but now you cant even use them at all, it’s exclusively electric only.
That tiny half deck freaks me out
Well, it’s bigger than a kayak standing area!
Oh well maybe you’ll have better luck next fall 😜
I really like the mods that you have done to your boat.
floydaltonmiller thank you!
nice setup man!
Fishing Mojados thank you! I enjoy this little boat very much!
Nice boat
Lance Lemmons Outdoors thanks!
Man that's a sweet boat 👍
BigBassBlake thank you kind sir! That’s a monster you’re holding...good stuff. Tight Lines!
You had that fish out of the water for over two straight minutes... survivability drops rapidly after the first minute out.
alphamalebro thanks for the information
We are new here we are stopping on by to show some love to the channel
I'm happy you stopped by! Thanks for the sub!
Stability is why I chose the Polycraft 300.
4 o’clock 5 o’clock 6 o’clock rock
Reminds me of the show Happy Days, what a classic!
Like the modifications done the boat, will you share ideas
Kevin Tolliver here is a video with information about the casting deck. th-cam.com/video/M-BheDRAw58/w-d-xo.html
When I watched the construction video I was thinking 1) my fat ass would get too near the edge of the casting platform and I'd be swimming and 2) my dumb ass would forget about the drop and take a step backwards off the deck and snap/smash/crush something important. Like my neck. When I saw you fall I thought, "yep, that'd be me".
J Tee believe it or not - I’ve never fell in!
I realize it's pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Preston Jaden i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
Awesome!
Tim's School of Fish thanks!

Yessir! You’re welcome👊🏻😎
So the waterfront house owners are not shouting on you to get out of their "water"? That is something new...
Nope, no homeowners have shouted at me while fishing on this lake. Now that I think about it, I don't think anyone homeowner has ever fussed at me! All the best!
Nice fish...just got back from an outing myself on my Pelican Bass raider 10E...me and my buddy got 12 bass....all over 3 lbs ...biggest was 5.75 lbs. Only bad thing was a big ole hog bass smacked my 1/2 oz Lunker spider, pulled it clean off the line and then spit it out like 5 ft in the air...wish I could've got it on video. I was lucky to recover the $7 lure. Love the mods you did with your rig. That thing is set up for serious action. That lake looks decent and everything but where's the cover? Is it all big wealthy homes? You got to get up to New England and fish the stump ponds..you can see clear to the bottom and not a home in sight.
Magik Mage what a great day of fishing! Lake Woodlands is just an okay lake. There isn’t much cover or structure; it’s basically a giant swimming pool, but it does hold big bass. Thanks for the compliment! All the best!
Can you show the layout or design of casting deck? Like how it’s mounted, bracing andall
Here is a video detailing how to make the casting deck. All the best!

I have a bantam Bass Tracker that I have for a long time but thinking about getting the 120 Pelican tracker cuz it already comes with the decks and the fish keeper and a storage but I do like what you did with the boat
Richard DeMore the Catch 120 is a great looking setup for sure; although I’ve never fished one. I’d consider that more of a kayak style boat and if I was to go that route, I really like the look of the Bonafide Kayaks. I love the Pelican Bass Raider 10e, but beware if you start modifying it like I did you’ll need to get a trailer, as it can be too difficult to lift into a truck bed. But if you keep your PBR 10e simple with a few mods, it’s so easy to make a wheel dolly and get it in and out of a truck bed!
Anyway I could contact you for some questions on building the deck
Yes sir! I can be contacted at: maxcastfishingtv@gmail.com
The plans for the casting deck can be found here:
th-cam.com/video/M-BheDRAw58/w-d-xo.html
Not even sure if I will get a response since this is so old but I just acquired one and wondering what I need to buy to run the battery in the back and trolling motor in the front. I have seen some videos that I need a new socket in the front or something?
Check out the trolling motor plug that is linked in the description for the video. All the best!
Please do a video of how you rig your boat, i like to see the motor control and deck layout
margaret walker here you go:
th-cam.com/video/LMFmjWBwFhA/w-d-xo.html
I also have a video on how to make the casting deck. All the best!
Would you say that the troll king is a must have?
Yes! It’s a game changer!!!
5:55 do they really have a ......ceiling fan outside for their outside space................ man rich people
uǝᴉʇsɐqǝs ʎɐɯǝๅ I live in Texas, do you know how hot it gets here🥵! I’ve been meaning to take that nonfunctional fan down for a few years now, it looks ugly up there😳
I just bought one of these. Your boat is beautiful. I was wondering since I work with wood if you had drawings of that wonderful decking? Thanks and good fishing sir.
Russ Thomas congrats on your new boat! Here’s a video on the casting deck - there’s is a link for the plans in the description. All the best!

Awesome video! what type of camera you using? Garmin Or go pro? I'm looking for a good chesty camera?
Cornfed !!!! Thanks for the compliment! I’m using the GoPro Hero 4 on the 5 minute looping setting. The video quality is not bad, but I’d like to upgrade soon! I use the GoPro chesty mount. All the best!
Good content new sub here!
4Shore Fishing thanks for the sub!
MaxCast Fishing No problem! Looking forward to more content!
What did you have to do to register your boat? I just moved here from Louisiana and I’m looking for great places to fish
Nice setup! What do you do about a livewell?
Steven Adams thanks! I use a large igloo cooler with a water circulation kit. I’ve only used it once, but I have it if I need it!
Would you recommend the water circulation kit or just dispatching the fish and putting it on ice?
Steven Adams I like to put them on ice; I think they are easier to clean that way. I have the livewell in the event I fish a tournament.
Thanks for your input!
Nice rig you have, you just need to get a fish finder for it.
Cmbtvet outdoors thank you! I completely agree, I’ve wanted to add a fish finder for a while now, maybe sometime with DI and SC.
MaxCast Fishing an inexpensive but very good unit would be Lowrance’s Hook2 series. Make sure though you get one with maps. I bought one for my John boat and didn’t have map support so it kinda sucked. I had the 3 in 1 transducer and it’s pretty nice.
Cmbtvet outdoors that’s the one I think I’m going to get, the Hook 2 7in Tripleshot! Thanks for the advice!
Check out this site for transducer mounts and battery mounts for the fish finder.

So I saw the modification video and I was still curious on how you got the casting platform to stay?
Iain Cain I used four screws at the corners to srew it down to the top. Here’s a video with more details on the casting deck. All the best!
th-cam.com/video/M-BheDRAw58/w-d-xo.html
MaxCast Fishing thank you so much! You are very helpful I appreciate it a lot. I just got myself a bass raider 10e as my first boat and was looking to do something to it to make it more efficient
Hey man great build. I have a channel too. Question. Did u fall bc the boat was unstable?
Lifeguard102 if I remember right, I stepped on something on the floor that made me lose my balance. To me, this boat is stable considering it’s small size.
Wonder how many hours it took in the driveway to perfectly back a boat like this up lmao
LOL, yes there was a learning curve with it given the trailer is so short, but I got the hang of it now!
What size is your outboard shaft, 16 inch or 20 inch?
Thanks for the video’s Charlie. I was wondering if you have ever taking your boat out to Galveston for any saltwater fishing? I am considering getting a Pelican to run out in the Gulf and I have been watching your videos and really like your mods. Thanks!
Steven Rodriguez thanks for the support! I have considered taking the boat to Bolivar; maybe one day!
Would i be able to use a boat like this in saltwater or basically cast off from the long beach harbor and just go just under a couple miles out or this is not a good choice for the ocean.
Cesar Gonzalez I’m pretty sure you could use a bass Raider in salt water! Check out the Facebook group Pelican Bass Raider and Bass Hunter Style Boats. I’m pretty sure there’s some people in this group who salt water fish in boats like this. All the best!
I'm getting a small outboard for Father's Day for my 10e. Do you leave the outboard on the boat when you're traveling?
James Walker that’s an awesome Father’s Day gift!!! I do not leave the motor on the boat. It’s too easy to take on and off for me to risk damaging the boat while trailering on the road. All the best!
@@maxcastfishing4357 thanks for the reply! How do you move it then?
James Walker I just remove it off the transom and put it in the back of my SUV.
Now I know what to do when my wife makes me take her to the mall, was that the only two fish of the day and is it is the lake shallow
Gene Hillyer love it - she shops, you fish! That’s what I’m talking about. Only two fish that day. I’ve made it back out there and caught more. The deepest area around North Shore Park is 8ft in the middle of the lake. I’d say the average depth around the shore is 4 to 6 ft.
How shallow can it go? I know the weight limit is 600, have you ever tried going a little bit over ? One more question, if I sit that on a utility cart, would it be heavy to push around ?
Homer Garcia depending on how much weight you have in it will depend on how shallow it can go. With all I have in it, I can move along in about 1 1/2 to 2 feet just fine as long as move the trolling motor up. We had a really bad flood here in Texas back in 2016 (know as the tax day flood) and sections of my neighborhood flooded really bad. I bought this boat used off Craigslist a few days before and the day it flooded, I used it to rescue 8 family’s from their house. One family consisted of two laddies that were easily 300 plus pounds and had 4 suitcases. I estimated with me and everything thing else we had around 850 pounds in the boat and it kept us dry!!! The water was about an inch away from the seam/half line of the boat.
Homer Garcia a flat utility cart should work. There’s several guys on TH-cam that have made wheeled carts for these boats. Basically a piece of wood a little longer than the width of the boat with two harbor freight wheels on them and a strap to keep it from moving.
Where did u get your trailer from
Johnathan Hatcher I found this trailer on Facebook Market place. It’s a jet ski trailer made by EZ Loader. All the best!
@@maxcastfishing4357 Do you have a video on your trailer build?
You may have answered this already but what trailer do you have thanks to haul the boat
addam west this is an EZ Loader jet ski trailer.
Just shows you don't need a $50,000 boat to catch nice fish.
Did you replace the front seat with the swivel one on your deck?
Rob Bastien yes sir! I replaced it with a pedestal seat.
Why do you dunk your whole rod in the water???
907 250r I was checking to see if I could feel the bottom to have an idea how deep it was.
What length trolling motor did you use?
Jack Webb I’m really not sure. It came with the boat. I measured it from the top of the motor head to the bottom where the motor starts and it was 33 inches. I’m guessing it’s the 36 inch.

Thank you!
