Came for watching a 5hp on a bass raider, stayed for the storytelling & bonus DIY tiller handle. Small Boat Mafia 👊
Yea man mad respect for picking up that trash and talking bout it!
I'll never understand people who seek the beauty of the outdoors and then
trash it.
Give this a like if you want to see Zoffinger camping out of the Bass raider or a kayak on Goat Island!!!! Great Vid as always Marty!!!
You said it is nice to fish again, well it’s nice to see you fish again. 👍
Thank you for bring us along on this adventure. A lot of effort to film this and I appreciate it.
Nothing better than a nice organized clean workshop. I could work in your shop all day.
Marty is the man! Chased me and my friend down while we were fishing that bridge and he gave us stickers. Thanks again!
Marty, you might not see this but just in case you do, I just wanted to tell you how your videos got me through and are still getting me through my lowest point of my life. I just turned 21 years old back in May, and I lost my Mother in April, and then in July i lost my Grandma. Both of which I lived with. Your videos are helping my heal, helping me think that everything will be ok. Your videos are continuing to help me keep thinking positive. I greatly appreciated all the hard work you do to put into these videos, and showing the world that anyone can accomplish their dreams. Thank you Marty
Hang in there brother. I lost my old man on Friday. He was my best friend and hero. Life goes on. Keep your head up and live a life your mom and grandma would be proud of and you will be fine
Hi Marty, Great video and fun exploring. Wonderful camera and drone footage. Thanks, Mickey
I do the same thing. When I was a Boy Scout they always told us to leave a place cleaner then when you got there.
Leave to trace. Still a Scout goal.
Dang what a nice teaching they tought you guys !
Yes same you never leave a trace
This may have been my favorite of your videos. I really do enjoy all the unique builds, but having been born and raised in S Fl, but living near Chicago for the past 25 years, watching you puttering around in such relaxing form was near bliss. I could use a bit of this in the middle of 2020... Thanks!
It’s always so peaceful watching these types of videos. Thanks again. Been watching you since you we’re building out Ken-Tiki, the poor mans kayak.
beautiful place down there brother
Hey Lojo hope you are figuring out how to fix your pond man
You prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Stanley Alessandro instablaster :)
@Joseph Emilio i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Joseph Emilio It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
Beings I'm from Tampa/Ruskin born and raised, I enjoy watching your vids. They take me back and remind me of all the good times I've had there...great vid man...I can't wait to get back to my home town and visit your place...
Virtual hug, brother!!! I really enjoyed this video! Keep on being an inspiration to anglers of all ages! And I appreciate the reminder that we should pick up after ourselves and not litter. God bless.
Happy to see you taking a minute from the new business for yourself. Great video as always!
Great to see you out on the water ! Wishing you all the best for the future.
For a one thing I must say your videos are the most interesting and inspiring... God Bless you Man...
looks like great fun, I injoy watching you keep it up nice video.
Marty is back in business, you tend to forget the anchor and the fish net. Someday the fishes just outsmart the fishermen. Glad to see you back doing what you love.
I bought that same boat a year ago bc i saw it on yr channel it has brought me so much joy i honesty cant put into words but thank for the original video years ago
Glad to see you back Fishing Marty! Keep up the good work
Can't wait to explore goat island this winter!!! Hope to see you this winter as well man!!! Another GREAT vid 🍻
Is there really a winter in Florida? last time I was there during the "winter" the temperature never went below 75F.
Olli K yes actually last year was colder than it had been in years. In fact when I was a junior in high school it snowed here in the Tampa bay area.
@@olli_k gotta LOVE Florida! 🌅
Thanks for the Google maps workaround for non facebook users! Its greatly appreciated.
A good boy scout always leaves an area better than it was when they got there. Way to go bud!!! Cool area...when I am there next time, definitely stopping by to at least say hi.............probably rent a kayak and go fishing:) Great video!
Great to see you back on the Bass Raider. I love my Kayaks but you turned me on to these little bass boats way back when you got stranded and had to get towed. Ended up getting a very similar model called Bass Hunter. Thanks for another great video!
Nice to see you on the Bass raider again. You were the reason I got one. I love it. Thanks !!
Fun adventure, thanks for taking us along. Love the little boat. Subbed and Liked.
Your just the best, I love watching your videos! I live in Tennessee and do alot of kayak fishing around here.
Go Zoffinger!!! I'll be visiting soon!
Its almost unnerving how chill you are... :)
I’ve never fished but I love your channel and enthusiasm.
The problem is... fishing is your work! A bad day of fishing is a bad day at work... Dang that stinks.
man I love the way you put your videos together with all the different angles. As a fellow youtuber I know it takes a lot of time and effort. great job marty
RF
Good to see you out enjoying the water
I like that little boat!
Thanks for picking up litter! Nice little boat!
Great job. Congrats on getting the business up and running. Would have loved to have seen that hoss sheepie !!! Best of luck to you.
I have started taking a large trash bag with me. Years ago I didn't need it, but lately it seems that I always came back with more than I left with. I hate the way people leave their trash behind. Occasionally I actually fill it). It isn't fair to us and it isn't fair to the Earth!
Just want to say it was a pleasure meeting you and also being your first customers!!! Will definitely see you again and possibly rent that pelican for Kenny next time!!!!
Thanks a bunch for your support. I means a lot.
This man is a hero for picking up that can
You’re awesome dude love your videos and the way they done, so much effort, so much creativity, awesome places, keep it up, great job! 👍🏻
New favorite channel. Just subscribed
Ha ha...you don't want the crab to miss a nice introduction with a big fish, too funny. Great video as always. Thanks for creating this adventure. One creator to another, I can see the amount of work and detail you put into this one, awesome! Oh, I like Owner brand J hooks for sheepshead, not circle.
Such a Awesome looking area to fish, like the pelican keep it simple
Nice boat, I’m 69 little motor seems perfect used to run 50 horse on my bass boat. 150 pounds seems perfect ,enjoyed your trip.
I'm driving from Charlotte NC down to Florida have already scheduled A-day to come out finally meet you and do some fishing I can't wait to get out on the bass boat with my daughter
I followed other you tubers that do fishing videos and none of them have ever responded to having me come out and do some fishing so it's amazing that you have this business
I'm super excited for October 27th thanks for all that you do
another great adventure! thanks for sharing.
Another good video adventure....!!! Short....but, definitely a pleasure....
Nice video, Marty & nice little boat. Love those drone shots. Keep the videos coming.
Really like your videos Marty. Good useful map info too!
Awesome video , looks like a great place to fish and explore I had to look it up. I miss my pond boat they can be like a floating bathtub In a wake but calm water they are awesome.
Fishing on credit doesn’t work for me either Marty. You fed them today. Way to almost Hookem In The Mouth. Another nice relaxing 😌 video. Great looking Roundabouts I love mine!
Done some research on that goat islands and found some crazy stuff. As far as the bridge goes, from what I seen they had started to build it and mever finished do to a hurricane. Dont understand why they never went back to finish it but also seen that it was believed that goat island might have been old gulf city, later on was correct to find out that a man named Ben had found the island and was to believed that they had buried bodies and then put a crap load of sand around the island to help cover up the bodies. Yhis is what I was reading not sure how trie that part was or why the bridge was never finished but thats why you see it half done then it disappeared was because of a hurricane.
What a relaxing video , enjoyed it a lot
Cool video, man. Beautiful spot there.
Marty, great trip and Google tip. You put a lot of work in the video, as always, the drone shots were very professional.
Great Video....I love that River, I could live on Goat island in a sleeping bag....except for the natives touching my "STUFF" LOL ...Love That little motor it moves along and starts so easy...Google earth is awesome... it just like old times Marty.
so cool how the water is brackish like it is here in Va/NC
It not that way all the time , only after heavy rains.
Ha! Love that you're using ice fishing rig in Florida.
Looks like a great island
Just found your channel. I dig it.
Looks like a cool place for sure 👍👍and we all have those days where we just can’t get a fish
Nice video Marty and drone shots
Nice video Marty!!
You should have a bait shop and a tackle shop in your shop thing, keep it up.
Great video Marty
Marty, great video. You may want to consider attaching a cable from the outboard to the kayak in the event it comes off of the transom. Looks like a great time.
Zoffinger, these videos always motivate me to start my own business. Im hoping to have a job selling instruments by myself
Nice video
Those Bass Raiders are the best. I spend alot of time on Estero Bay in mine loaded with gear and hammock camping in mangroves. I dont fish much. I just enjoy it out there. You should give Estero a try and launch your pelican at lovers key. It's only a 2.5 hour drive. I need to check it out up there too sometime.
Place looks great Marty !! Congratulations . Now go and get some anchor line and LEAVE IT in that little boat !! You have been forgetting ANCHORS OR TIE OFF LINE for years !!!😂
Great Video!
Nice one my friend 😎😎😎
Love the vidoes man.
Nice vid
New subscriber here. This was a fun video! I have an older model of the bass raider. These things are great! There is no way you can sink them. I use a 55 ft/lb electric trolling motor on mine. Please, make more adventure/fishing videos out of the Bass Raider.
Marty, Sir you are doing a very great job. Just couple things for your consideration to help emerging your business:
1. Identify many interesting spot either for chill out or fishing spot
2. Make a map, so that the customers can share and perhaps planning to come back later with friends or colleagues
3. Perhaps on some occasion make some special event like lamp event, lamp-ion or firework for gathering, you can invite your network too plus get some sponsor to it.
4. Make a package of tour including some cups of coffee or snack will do. Lunch will be awesome.
5. Perhaps you can open a lounge or small coffee in the corner, maybe Restaurant someday.
6. Another tips for you, you can always give customers another level of experience by give them footage videos like couples minutes for their Instagram. it also build your relationship with customers, as a plus is free promotion and viral as they will make snowball effect, indeed an online marketing.
I'd love to come to hang out with you and friend, yet I am still here in Japan. Someday who knows.

Great video Marty! I lived in Florida as a kid. Your videos take me back to my youth. I live in Oregon now, may have to move back when I retire? Cheers!
when you slam your drag as tight as it goes when it was perfect when u had it then your line snaps lmfao that had me dying
I bought that same exact boat bc i saw it on your chanl i love love lovd that thing its soooooooo kick ass
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🙏
that island does look like a cool place to camp
Excelente vídeo.
Adorei o Kayak, onde encontro desse modelo no Brasil pra comprar.?
Hip hip hooray! Livin' the dream.
Thanks for the tip. Use Earth all the time, but never noticed the historical image option. I am on the Pinellas side, so this is interesting.
Mush respect for picking up the trash man. It's a shame people can't have enough respect the throw there trash away. Not hard to keep a little bag with ya and just toss it in there after they're done.
I freaking love you dude
Hey Marty, I'd recommend trying some inshore or hank brown jigs by hookup lures, rig the crab on them the same way and jig it just off the bottom for sheepys. You might enjoy how well it works!
Goat Island is my favorite place to camp!
Love that new kayak you got there. Wish you can help me to get a small power motor for my Pelican Hydrv II to replace a pedal drive kayak 👍
Great info and video. Thank you. Have you ever taking this set up on the river. I'm going to get a set up just like this but I worry I won't be able to go upstream on the Delaware River. It's not to intense but has it moments. Please let me know. Tom
After several videos and you sport your Barney Rubble feet (like me) and flip flops. Nothing says coolness like flip flops. You actually cool cat.
19:28 that bicep and four-arm thought 💀
Oh wow Ive been to tampa before and drove down one of those huge bridges
We used to use the size fish you're catching for bait off Montauk point about 2 miles off shore cacthing 3 foot cow bass or blue fish now that's fishing especially when you latch on to a 4-5ft hammerhead or mako shark now that's fun
Been to Tampa 3 times now , and a 4th will be next year.
Took a couple of looking , but found the place .
Nice set up. I like that little boat. Just curious why you use ice fishing rods and no net. Seems like a good way to lose a big fish.
I bet that's fun fishing with that ultralight tackle
Marty thank you for showing some of the cool places to check out i never see any one fish for flounder down their why!! you should try off the dock for flounder
Flounder is a very tough species in our area to target. We get them as a by catch but not very often.
thank you
