These are my fishing adventures and I want to share what I've discovered with everybody. And I'm happy to learn from you too!
Workshop 009 Dealing with Dealies
As this project matures, there are more and more things to deal with. And they're all connected. I can't do this without that. But that can't be done until you finish this. Etc. Best bet I think is to just let my eyes wander a bit until I focus on something and tackle that for a little bit. Until something else catches my eye, and SQUIRREL!

Workshop 008 What Goes Where
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 12 hodinami
A place for everything. And everything in it's place. That makes it so you can find stuff when you need it. As is, the new shop is a disaster. That is as expected I guess since the new space is still getting put together. But this chaos will not do for very long before my eyes start to twitch. So, I put up some shelves and hung some stuff up. I did this knowing that eventually it would all have...
I'd Forgotten How Much Fun Topwater Is
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 14 hodinami
I've been meaning to share this for a while now. It's funny how life gets in the way and so much time can pass before you get to the things you want to do. Speaking of which, I need to get back out on the water and get some new fishing video footage! Though, I still have a few important things to wrap up with the new mobile shop first before the hot weather gets here. I'm a lucky guy to have so...
Workshop 007 From Death Comes Life
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 19 hodinami
It's moving day! Time to dismantle my beloved truck workshop so that the trailer workshop may germinate like a seed breaking through the soil in springtime. So it goes. Although dead now as a place to tinker and drive, my F150 will live on, roaming green kayaky pastures. My love now will have to be torn in two as my new crush digs deeper into my heart like a tick. Well, maybe that's not quite r...
Workshop 006 Stairs and Stuff

Having a way for the dogs to get up and down on their own is an essential part of having this mobile workshop. I tackle that and a few other important details in this video. Follow Marty on Facebook - lovekayak.fishing
Workshop 005 Weather Proofing
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 14 dny
Ya see, 'All I Gotta Do Is...' HA! Finishing these doors has been plagued with such hopes and dreams. That little strip in-between the doors STILL isn't done as of the time I edited this episode and wrote these words. I did manage to accumulate several hundred GIGS of video though. That should keep me busy for a while before I catch up. That's a shame because I am itching to show off some of th...
Workshop 004 Trimming the Doors
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 21 dnem
This'll not only make the doors look good and tidy up the gaps, but the trim preforms a function as well. As a doorstop, an aid to keeping the weather out, and will also push the doors back a little into the frame of the truck. The further the doors tuck back, the less the dirt and junk from the trees should accumulate and the rain might just not be so inclined to enter the gap at the top. Rece...
Workshop 003 Door Skins
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 28 dny
Using cement board might be unorthodox but the results are turning out quite nice so far. The mistake of not squaring the frames before adding the braces also wound up producing a design aspect that I've grown to really like that would otherwise never have happened if things went 'right'. I wonder what other delights fate will throw at this project that has just begun! Follow me on Facebook - f...
Workshop 002 Door Frames
zhlédnutí 7KPřed měsícem
Day two is here! The new trailer doors start to take shape. Between my own indecision over the design, stopping progress to film, explain every step and the constant puppy interruptions, the process is taking a long time. But that is life. Is it not? Life is the little things. The minutiae. The plans. The details. The mistakes. In an attempt to bring you all of that and share as much of the pro...
Workshop 001 Door Destruction
zhlédnutí 6KPřed měsícem
Step one in the construction of my new shop was to get to a point that I can secure the inside from weather and theft. No space is worth a darn if the stuff you put inside it gets wet or walks away. So, the doors were a priority. I looked up materials like metal and plywood and the costs were outrageous! Designing something from junk I had laying around crossed my mind, but at some point, this ...
Big New Project!
zhlédnutí 9KPřed měsícem
This is going to be a fun one! A new obsession. A restoration. Some installations. Some fabrications. All born from a revelation. That being that I am a maker! And I haven't had a space of my own for a long time now. Looking back; turning my silver F150 into a mobile shop was awesome and amazing while I traveled to and from North Carolina after my Great (ish) Loop trip. But having tools, some o...
CAN YOU FISH Seriously from an inflatable Kayak?
zhlédnutí 10KPřed měsícem
This boat is now available for purchase! And if you think this is just a toy for kids and recreational fishermen, remember this: Once upon a time it was thought that fishing from ANY kayak was a bit of a joke. I remember though, showing up one year to the largest fishing trade show in the world (iCast) and seeing giant posters hanging outside showing people fishing from... KAYAKS! I was SO prou...
Zoffinger Rigging Up and Fishing from a Kayak
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 2 měsíci
Start to Fish, I rig and improve this kayak for a day on the water. Some ideas are store bought and slapped on, some are a bit more DIY. All come from years of figuring out what works and what doesn't. For the rigging part at least. The fishing can be hit or miss sometimes.

The Best inflatable Fishing Kayak EVER?
zhlédnutí 165KPřed 2 měsíci
Unboxing, Inflating and Paddling the brand new iATAK 110. Official launch for this boat is March 7th 2024. This could be the perfect solution for the avid angler that has limited storage. It is comparatively priced with mid level hard shell fishing kayaks, with the added benefit of being able to fit inside the trunk of your car or in the closet. When you consider the pumps, seat, accessory moun...

Wilderness Systems Recon 120HD Initial Impressions
Hello Marty. Thank you for your videos, they are instructive and entertaining at the same time. So, after some more months with this Recon 120 HD, do you like it? I want to buy my first fishing kayak, but they are so expensive up here in Canada (the home of the Pelican!). Not as many choices either as in the USA. And after much thinking, I think I want a pedal drive, not a fin drive (they require a lot of care, and no reverse, among other reasons). I hesitate between a no-name version of the Hammerhead Baby Shard (VK-32 MARIUS) and this Wilderness Recon 120 HD with its fancy drive and its stability thanks to its generous size (I'm 250 lbs.). I don't expect you to choose for me, but did the Recon grew on you after all? Thank you for your attention.
Before painting anything more i suggest you use self etching primer on thoose aluminium parts or youre gonna be dissapointed. Great video tho!!
Great to see lots of posts from you Marty Thanks
I like this setup. I think it would work great for a paramotor.
Yes,youdon't know how to pull out a hook unlike Argentine fishermen
Loving the content. Great work on your mobile work shop. Very inspiring to tackle some DIY projects around my place
Hey Marty, just wondering if you have sold the black Ford yet. I need a work truck. We met a couple years ago and live pretty close.
Looks like it was a truck at one time made into a trailer
Whenever I do something, I usually have to find my drill cause I just had it a minute before and I put it down and I forgot where I put it
I can totally relate to the part where you get sidetracked. That happens to me all the time when I start a project and something else pops up that needs to be done first. You can spend all day in Sidetrack City if you're not careful. Love your videos. Keep On Keepin On
Really not to sure why I re-subbed again. People build this 💩 every day, and yet this dude acts like it’s some Bob Villa hard to build item. 🤷🏻♂️ I enjoyed the channel when it was a boating & fishing thing. But multiple videos of a boring build is ridiculous. Keep up the great work bud- I’m gonna unsubscribe for the moment. 😴💤🛌😴💤🛌😴💤🛌
You, my friend, are a terrific thinker and craftsman!😊
I cannot wait to see the design that Marty will come up with for the sides of the workshop. I'm sure it going to involve Zoffinger, Kon-Tiki, and tiki statutes.
Looking good!!!
I wouldnt fish in one in FL, where gators live!!!!
Workshop looking good!!!!
The inching along part cracked me up thanks Marty.
🖐😎👍
Looking forward to seeing the finished product Marty.
I am always watching for great and innovative ideas from you Marty. Love the project but don't forget to take some time fish. All "work" and no play makes a boring man. LOL!!!
Love the regular vids, please keep them coming!!
Marty I noticed whenever you started a power tool, your black pup exited stage left. …lol
with a solar array its less expensive to wire your system in series, as you can run lower gauge cables / connectors / fuses etc... but the down side is if even one panel is shaded it shuts down solar intake. i hate to suggest the more expensive option of wiring in parallel but with your workshop being shaded like it is that might be the best option. or relocate the workshop to an area with a clear view of the sky. also for max performance allow the panels to be tilted. in your area for 2024 the optimum solar panel tilt angle is 28* from horizontal. this will allow you to get "full sun" for longer. a quick solution would be to use stainless door hinges to allow your array to pivot say to the passenger side and point that side to the east. maybe a 12v actuator to lower the panels back to flat, this will allow you to capture more "full sun" at the end of the day. and they wont be up in the air when you need to drive somewhere. id be happy to help design the mechanics of it for you. i have done it several times for myself always conscious of budget, im a clever man not a wealthy one.
I always get distracted by sidequests.
Enjoying your transformation of the trailer into your shop. It seems you always come up with a good solution to a problem. Look forward to the next one.
Good job Marty
Nice update Marty. Surprised you didn't use a couple of those 'dealies' to tie the bungy off to rather than drill through the door frame. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Small suggestion 🤔 Install solar panels so that there is an air gap. the panels will provide some shade and airflow will reduce heat at the roof level. 👍
also, the air gap will keep the panel temp lower, in doing so the panel will be more efficient.
He can install an exhaust fan in there to circulate and push air out. Run it on the solar. Solar lights too.
I always learn a new idea watching these.
NOTHING BUT AWSOMENESS HERE...👍💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great video! Man, I wish I was that creative. Great job, Marty!
I’m really enjoying this series. Don’t get so busy you don’t leave time for yourself and those pups.
Hi Marty! Wtf you been up to bro???
I just wouldn't feel safe in it , I'd be paranoid about sharks , my last boat was a 31ft steel cutter which made me feel more secure
13:52 the riser idea is ingenious…! You really are the kayak MacGyver!
At least you didn't have to edit you casting into the mangroves as opposed to casting into the mangrove trees. Nice casts with the spinning reel.
Very impressive, but how fast do you think it went.
Awesome
I looked you up on Google and it says you're permanently closed
I’d love to see how you installed the rudder on the Catch Mode 110. The skeg is fine, but I want a bit more control. Do you have a video for that? I have the same boat and am wondering how much drilling/cutting I need to do. Thanks in advance!
I wonder how this would hold up in the outer banks in the sound? What ya think?
nice job Marty, keep up the good work!
love to see what you do with the solar power system. ive been dreaming of a battery bank to run all my major equipment for an 8 hr day.
Although this video is “old”, I find myself gravitating towards this style more and more of your adventures, Marty. I’m glad I can come back and see these good times, while enjoying your newfound success. Cheers dude!
What an absolute game changer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Marty, it is alway pleasant to go kayaking with you even if you do not catch any fish , just seeing you going arround the mangrove it is so peaceful! Marty, keep up the good work!
I will never get in anything inflatable in any FL water. Not even a zodiac. I save the toys for the pool. No sharks, oysters or alligators in my pool.
Fun to see you doing what you really love. Happy Birthday.
I LOVE the fishing, but the juggling of the smartphone while keeping track of the kayak and fishing at the same time gives me a headache 🤣😮
like to future peek there.........
