- In this episode, I ventured out to a well known marsh system that I have fished plenty of times. I wanted to get some experience marsh fishing on the Bote Rover. I also towed a buddy out there.
Everyone, I do not recommend towing anything on the Bote Rover. Please do not try this! Be smart and don't be stupid like me.
If you are wanting to pick up a Bote Rover to fish the marsh, always be aware of oysters and shallow water. One wrong move can destroy your outboard!
Stay safe everyone!

When your running, need to be on plane, and position for wind to drift you slowly, you have shallow water drive, circle round for next drift over what you just fished. Last, get a carbon marine 12-14 ft push pole, extension handle for you motor. Some tips to get you going in the right path 😉
Skiff rider IN TRAINING video......lol....don’t rush learning. Can’t wait for oil rig fishing videos
the motorized paddle board is perfect I really want to be able to make my own with this model
RX UBER ....Hahahaha
That’s a beast, just be careful with the oyster beds and your prop haha
Nick's a funny guy!
Great video Nick. I'm a go for Friday. Are you bringing the bote or the hobie?
Looking forward to the video Trail!
I fish off an L2fish. If I see it’s going to be a windier day I bring out my 12’ push pole and plan my route based on projected wind direction. Shallow water the push pole is clutch against wind. If you do end up having to paddle into the wind you have to get as low as possible and paddle your ass off until you’re out of the shallows. Standing turns you into a giant sail. Just what I’ve learned on my board, I hope it helps.
You need to get you a parachute drifting anchor when it is windy and drift fish. We us it in the marsh in Louisiana Marsh they work good just throw your line out and let it drift the same speed of the tide. Use plastic bait like split tails and cocahoe minnow. Or live shrimp only on a hook by it self. don,t move the bait let the tide do the work. Live minnows work good this way to.
Nick take it from a paddleboarder your paddle is backwards it just the opposite of a paddle on a kayak
Appreciate it.
Hahaah Mark holding on for dear life!! Man thats funny
If you haven't done it yet, I'd suggest you ditch the SUP paddle and buy or make an extra long double bladed kayak paddle. I'd also suggest you buy a low slung folding chair instead of sitting on the cooler. I learned those tricks paddling a canoe in Thailand where I couldn't take my kayaks. The long kayak paddle is a lot more efficient than a single blade paddle ( I modified mine to 9' long because the canoes were higher and wider than a kayak), and sitting in a chair with back support will keep you from a very sore back at the end of a long paddling day. Great channel, BTW! That coming from a Sea Isle dweller here in Galveston.
Interesting. Thanks for the ride.👍
Nice, I need a friend with a bote rover to pull me through the 10,000 islands to the outside in the summer months when the big snook move outside, lol.
Thanks for the experience I own a 13.5 Titan and always worried about shallow water but this motivated me to go out and try it see what it will do... thank Nick also awesome videos... take care
Thanks brother, I appreciate the support.
I have a bluesky cat and i put a trolling motor mount on the front. I was in Matagorda marsh when it was blowing 15+ and what saved my butt was a good stake out pole/push pole. Even my 30lb minnkota couldn't get me out of the shallow mud in a high wind. Water is so skinny the prop has nothing to push against. See if you can mount a trolling motor to the front and get a looooong light stake out push pole.
Yes, can actually say I really like the skiff type set up; obviously seems somewhat less of an all around craft than the Outback, but getting to a fishing spot deep in the marsh and back in short time seems worth admission price, especially if you’re sight fishing. I can see an avid fishing enthusiast with both the aforementioned craft in the fleet. I would go with a 5 HP so I could fly fish Inks Lake.
You're using your paddle backwards btw
100%
Great video great music
Keep up the good work, you're a true Pioneer in our sport.
I've been wanting to get a rover since they first came out but don't have the money. Hope you enjoy it. Just an fyi - it looks like you're holding the paddle the wrong way. You want the blade angled away from you, not toward you. That allows you to reach forward and pull toward you more efficiently.
you're a pharmacist??? You have pockets for a flats boat which would make for some interesting content ;)
Tow your kayak and switch pull the stand up paddle board
Mate have a look at the torquedo electric motors you can get good range and mine doesn’t spook any fish as it’s silent
Good luck bro
Nice rig! The video is great as well, except for the music. The music takes away from the video, instead of adding to the quality.
You should have probably got the 15 HP. The 9.9 and 15 HP both weight the same thing. Great motor just pulled it out of storage to get ready for the spring and it started right up on the first pull. Wished I lived somewhere where I could go boating and fish all year round.
Great video and good commentary. Wasn’t considering the wind problem. Were you push polling? Would a trolling motor help?
Yes, push polling. Yes, a trolling motor would definitely help.
Still say outriggers seem like a plan and even smaller motor(less weight) would still work.
Lol great video!!
Have you thought about putting a trolling motor on the hobie and use it to get places. Look up water snake trolling motor on hobie it look pretty cool
Yes
I'm about to install a water snake trolling motor into my Hobie cartridge....still researching light weight batteries
Can you do a bote vs solo skiff?
Hi can you help me with the pick up of the gas tank? i want to use that gas tank but i dont have the gas tank fitting.
The only thing that boat is good for is getting you to the spot. It looks pretty inconvenient and not as intuitive as a kayak with peddles. Maybe you just need a longer paddle, or a paddle with two oars that makes it easier to get around with, without using the motor.
And with the wind limitation as you are emphasizing, this boat is pretty limited.
Heavier than a hobie and harder to maneuver around. To be honest, you fish more than you travel to the fishing spot with a kayak regardless. The pros and cons that you are presenting are saying, "Exploit this Rover thing since you bought it already, make some videos with it, get views and subs, then sell it!"
Hopefully your experience with it gets better and the weight on the scale changes.
I dont think you like the Rover. Sell it to me?
I guess you can’t put a trolling motor on it, huh? So push pole is the way to go?
The Fishing Family why can’t you put a trolling motor on it?
Nice drone shots... get it slimy bud..
Thanks my man
ever thought about installing a bow mount trolling motor for the Bote? I wonder how that would work out.
You could but it’ll be more of a hassle and added weight. I would not go that route honestly.
Dude learn how to equalize your audio levels.
You should of purchase the twin troller...
I’ve towed my Hobie for short distances behind jet skis. Did you tow that thing all the way there with the pedal drive in?
It is nice buddy, since I watch many case that salt water crocs are so vicous, Just in case if u have ever near u , how u are going to encounter the beast ? Thanks
Where did you launch at? It looks like the intercoastal
Great video what boat ramp is that
How did your gas cans work out they look like they work pretty good
It’s been good so far.
I still say without a doubt, if he woulda got an old 13' Dargel Skooter he would be accessing the exact same waters, actually even shallower, and it would be a much more comfortable and safer experience, and without a doubt have been cheaper than whatever he paid for this thing. Ive seen some for under $500. We run a huge 21' Bay Stealth with a 140 (4 blade prop / power lift / tilt trim) and we can totally run in 7 inches, we do it every week, even take off in less than a foot without a problem and without making ruts. Its all about skill and knowing how to do it. .... buuut Im sure this all has to do with having the latest gimmick and looking cool. - I am not trying to hate in any way, I am just speaking from doing this stuff for years, and experience on the water. - I do hope to see more action and hope he gains confidence and experience.
I’m from the area, what Marsh is this?
Where have you been?
Your action hat, is that a DIY kit. If so how did you rig it up?
Do it yourself kit.
Obviously not going to ask for locations, but what launch? I've recently bought a microskiff, and looking to find a nice launch like that one...
There are about four ramps off Bluewater highway between 332 at Surfside and San Luis Pass.
@@fishinfitztxvidz3176 Edited comment: you got me looking in the right area. I gotcha. Thanks bud.
Why did you choose the Bote Rover over the Solo Skiff?
I felt that it was the better fishing platform for me.
Stability wise how does the Rover compare to a Hobie PA?
I’ve never ridden in a PA. But, it’s more stable than my Outback when I’m standing up.
your motor is to big they recommend 6 hp and you have a 9 that's why it does not cruise good
What do you prefer the bōte or the yack? Great video!!
Depends on what I’m trying to accomplish. Both has its place in my fleet.
RX Angler got ya! But if you could only get one like in my case ,😂 which one would you say you can get more use out of?
Hey Nick what is the rod you use and long did you have to wait?
Custom. A long wait unfortunately
Did you have to register that boat and get tx #s
Yes
What is the draft of the Bote rover?
3 inches
How is it paddling and when you say wind do you mean it dont paddle well in the wind
Great video
Send me a instagram message. You won the reel!
TrailChaser what is your ig name
@@asaenz33 sorry, that message was for weirdfish weirdfish. But my IG is @the.trailchaser
TrailChaser ok cool no problem but how do I win a reel? Lol
What reel am I seeing at 9:06?
Shimano Aldebaren
Thanks
2:30.... You think because you are a Pharmacist you are smart? Come on man.
So u towed a kayak...where’s the huge risk in that..🙄
