Good advice, especially on lake erie and champlain. in addition i find that going into the waves at roughly a 45 degree angle so you can roll over the crests and troughs of waves a bit smoother especially big rollers. You may have to tac like a sailboat a bit and its slower, but much safer.
Exceptional advice and tips B Lat, anyone who has ever taken a big or rogue wave over the bow, and survived, know your are giving equipment and life saving advice.
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time as I pick up my F20 Predator next week. I was sold after watching your older video's in the factory and this just makes me even more confident! Great content, can't wait for more!
Great video Brian! Another benefit of running slow is not beating up the fish in the livewell. One thing I’d add is switching up to a 4 blade prop for more lift and burying the jackplate.
Enjoyed the video. You explained running big water spot-on. I moved from a Whaler Montauk to a Tracker deep V. Of course you can't compare the two, entirely different purpose. I fish mostly lakes and rivers these days and the reason for the downgrade. If I have an itch for saltwater, I jump on a buddy's boat. From what you explained, is exactly how I would run the Whaler on bays and ocean on 2 to 3 foot winds waves. Thanks for the post, a lot of people can learn from your video and possibly save someone's life one day.
Very good video not only is a good video but it's very educational the key is to go out have a good time fishing and getting back home to your family two thumbs up
Good point on watching your fuel for someone whos knew to big water, driving like that wrecks your fuel economy but is worth it, I personally hook up the kill cord and ride with a knee on the seat instead of sitting, youll take half the beating
You forgot the most important things!...The life jacket and kill switch! Aside from that, very good information bro. I fish Lake Michigan a lot in a 17' v hull tiller boat (am I crazy? Maybe) and it's all good as long as you know what you're doing and watch the weather.
Good advice 👍 We only have tiny lakes here in Australia compared to the U.S and Canada, but the boat driving techniques you mention are still useful when it cuts up rough.
I grew up on Lake Erie I’ve seen some bad things including death on big water. The Great Lakes can and will turn on you in a heartbeat. Especially Lake Erie
Also I don't think he mentioned it. But wear your vests and attach yourkill switch cord. Things go bad fast guys. Stay safe. Chances are when it's rough like this . No one will be around for miles . So you gotta stay as safe as possible.... Noone gonna beable to help you because no one will be around. years ago my cousin took a big wave in his champ wrong because he got impatient..it swamped the boat. (The Strongest Storms pop up really quick ).. he had to beach on a island and radio coast guard (before cell phones was common everyone had an antenna and radio onboard) for a ride (mississippi river). Boat was full of sand when he came back for it a day and a half later. (Waves over the transom while beached.
As an avid offshore fisherman, great advice, don’t get in a hurry unless you want to tear the boat up or beat everybody onboard. That being said, come to the Mississippi gulf coast and let me show you real 3-4 and 5-6 foot waves. We’ve been out on a 3ft sea day and I swear the waves had a 2 ft chop going across them
@@BrianLatimerFishing Well i guess your calling big water rollers like on the great lakes. Which is easier to run then checker board Rough of water. Youll sink a boat fast on the potomac with a strong wind against the tide your getting 4 footers every direction. Get that on a full moon lol. I know yall practiced that Saturday when she was blowing don't tell me it wasn't big out there lol
If you're driving with the bow up like that. The motor has to be trimmed all the way down. The same way it would be trimmed all the way down if you are going to do a hole shot. Right? If so, doesn't that stress the transom way too much?
@@BrianLatimerFishing Lake Eire from Kelly's Island to Pelee Island in crossing 12 fters, stranded 2 weeks, finally had to land in 6 ft rollers on my trailer inside the harbor and ferry the boat back to mainland in 18-20ft waves, most people on the ferry were in sick in the washroom and its a huge ferry, nearly died a couple times in that 2 weeks of storms and used all my vacation time, with maybe 2 days of fishing, I talked to the lord a couple times thru that time, wow, do not play with Erie, it changes by the minute. cheers nice boat
Where do you run your jackplate and trim when running at those speeds? My f20te doesn't like running that slow, I havent figured out where the jackplate and trim should be
Every boat gonna be different. Just keep the ass of the boat planted. And the bow up. He at the point where during a ,normal holeshot. The bow is at its highest.. his jack plate is probably low and his trim is probably nuetral I gotta run like this all the time in my 16 foot aluminum boat. It works. Only it's at 8 miles an hour or so...and I gotta do it in two footers. Lol I've. Been caught in three plus footers. And as long as u go slow and keep the nose up you will eventually get there.
@@BrianLatimerFishing hey Brian I have a vid suggestion.... do tips on boating big bass. With net and without net (Five lbs plus). my teenage fishing buddy lost his personal best at the boat because he didn't know how to land it) he's still crying about it. He says it was 7 pounder. I think his previous biggest is five and change. He's been bass fishing a few years He watches your vids. Lots of guys not just kids struggle with this. I've lost good ones at the boat myself.
Where? What species? How deep? What’s the weather? Those type of videos are just to sell products. Baits can’t be categorized into months. It’s all about conditions and scenarios.
I live in Florida and I bass fish. The conditions that I fish are hot weather. The skies are sometimes overcast and bird blue. There is little wind sometimes nun at all. The depth is about 5-10 ft. Most of the water clarity is dirty/muddy or stained. There is vegetation like lilypads and hydrilla. So what do you think is best for these conditions?
@@ccrriiss824 🐸 it bro punch it or throw a Texas rig worm or creature I like junebug an green pumpkin an white or natural color frog let’s see how close I am to his reply
Did you do something different with your audio. For some reason, the last two videos have been silent for me. Every other one I watch there has been no change, but with yours, I can't hear them.
I figured it out. For some reason your sound is running monaural instead of stero. I usually just have only one of buds in my ear, that usually being the left. When I put the right one in, then I could hear you. As always, the ads all come in loud and clear and in stereo.
@@BrianLatimerFishing Computer. It's interesting that if there is an ad or background music going, I hear you as well in both ears, but if its just you speaking, I only hear you out of my right ear.
@@BrianLatimerFishing I assume your recording audio to a A7s3. What’s happening Is a phasing issue that only effects some people . I’ve dealt with it myself and it’s a simple fix in premiere pro . Modify clip- to a single mono track. Have your editor hit me up if you need more info.
Bass boat guys are funny about "rough" water. I'm out there just eating rolling waves at warp speed. Let the bilge pump have some fun. Edit 10mph 🤣 bow up 🤣 30-40 mph, attitude adjusted ever so slightly down, you want to slice em and dice em in a deep V. 😉
It’s all a trade off. Hard to beat a true bass boat for storage and handling without catching tons of wind on the trolling motor. That said, can’t beat a deep v in the rough stuff
Why pro fishermen don’t get trim tabs when they know they’re gonna be fishing big water I have no idea. Run a boat in the ocean to learn how to run a boat in big, rough water. Also a boat should not sink if it stuffs the bow. That’s incredibly poor design if it does.
@@BrianLatimerFishing a center console is just where the console is. A 42 foot freeman catamaran is a center console just like your boat you bought. And every boat needs trim tabs in big water, if they help a flat bottom skiff they’ll help a bass boat just like they help saltwater bay boats and skiffs. They just give a lot more control over running attitude. Just like in this video you wouldn’t have to be running at the absolute least efficient way - plowing right before getting on plane - if you had trim tabs. Bass fishermen are at the cutting edge of lures and techniques but bass boat design is stuck in the 80s in everything from livewell design to using trim tabs. They are absolutely not “more responsive”. Well I guess they might be more responsive than a 30 footer but they aren’t more responsive than say a yellowfin 21 bay.

This is a great video, some people don't understand the difference in rough water and big water, good stuff
Mike, you're so right!
great video for people like me who don't know or inexperienced with big or ruff water. Thanks Brian
Gary just keep motor all the way down and jack plate down also... 1. Kill switch 2. Life jacket 3. Remember fishing not worth your life or anyone else
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time as I pick up my F20 Predator next week. I was sold after watching your older video's in the factory and this just makes me even more confident! Great content, can't wait for more!
That last prize comment is a scam. Had the same thing happen on mikeyballzs channel

Very good video not only is a good video but it's very educational the key is to go out have a good time fishing and getting back home to your family two thumbs up
Good advice, was almost in a collision with a small boat, He was trying to keep the nose high for wakes, but wasn't able to see me, wasn't looking!
I was in a kayak
Good point on watching your fuel for someone whos knew to big water, driving like that wrecks your fuel economy but is worth it, I personally hook up the kill cord and ride with a knee on the seat instead of sitting, youll take half the beating
I knew by your comment you were new.

Really good and informative lesson BLat!!!
Good advice 👍
We only have tiny lakes here in Australia compared to the U.S and Canada, but the boat driving techniques you mention are still useful when it cuts up rough.
Question, do you trim the motor all the way down so the prop stays in the water, or do you adjust it to what you need to keep the bow up ????
Excellent video Brian! Nothing worse than taking a pounding and stuffing a four footer
Those great big lakes are a different kind of big. You have to experience it once to believe it.
Welcome to NY B-Lat!!...I really want to meet you someday!! Let us know where you are on Cayuga again!!
good advice but only so much you can reference looking at the back of the boat.
I’ve run my Triton Tr20 in the ocean off the coast of Myrtle Beach for reds in the fall. Never had a problem
Thanks B-Lat!
Awesome video! Have been wanting to see a video like this for Falcon. Thank you.
I grew up on Lake Erie I’ve seen some bad things including death on big water. The Great Lakes can and will turn on you in a heartbeat. Especially Lake Erie
just ran lake st clair in really rough water. better listen to Brian He aint lyin!

I hear about the great lakes.....nothing has scared me more than monster waves at Clear Lake.
Good video and all good info
Don't sink your boat! - Unless you need the insurance money! hahahaha

You’ll love it
I live in Texas and fish Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn, but the surface acres of Lake Champlain is still larger than both lakes I mentioned. YIKES.
Good advice
The headphone audio is only coming thru in one ear, but great video!!!
Thanks
We need a bigger boat !
How about when you're already on plane but then see that you need to make an adjustment?
I wanna see how she ran in the potomac with that wind against the tide now that's serious big water!
It’s mostly just every day rough water.

No it doesn’t have to be trimmed. It’s throttle control that keeps the bow up
There are a few lakes in the south that are big…KY lake is one. It yea most people don’t know how to drive boats most the time
It still doesn’t compare to northern water. For one . You’re always close to shore.
@@BrianLatimerFishing fair, Stay safe and tight line Brian…and if you’re ever in the ATL area send me a message. I can put you on some stripe bass.
Does this apply to aluminum boats like a Lowe 17 stinger
sound is jacked
You probably don’t have reception.
@@BrianLatimerFishing lol
Not me watching a boat video when I don’t even own one😂
BLue cypress in Florida that place can turn on you fast
Toledo bend gets pretty bad faces north and south really bad sometimes but I’m sure those Great Lakes get pretty nasty
Yeah they do! It feels so different when you can’t see the shore and the water is freezing cold too

That’s on your providers end. Audio is perfect on our end.
My champ would do 60 in that
