- I need to get some experience with the new Bote Rover. After messing around with it on this particular day, I've learned three important facts.
1. It's going to take at least 3 months to get the hang of this new fishing platform.
2. Catching fish off the Bote Rover WILL BE DIFFICULT in the beginning.
3. The Bote Rover does NOT do well in the wind.
I will continue to document my learning experience on the Bote Rover.

GIVEAWAY has been completed. Thanks to everyone that entered. If you didn’t win, no worries. I have a coupon for you to use on ALL your purchases with Blackout Coffee Co.
Coupon is RXANGLER
We will have more giveaways soon. I promise.
Thanks for the video. I have been thinking about getting into a Rover. I appreciate the honest review and demo of how it handles in some chop. Keep up the great work!
I was eye balling the Rover a while back and actually bought a 2019 OutBack. This information is really useful and honest. Keep up the good job.
Looks great. Few minor adjustments and confidence in the boat, then your off to the races.
I am really curious to see the rover in full action. I been watching your channel for a while now and I definitely think the rover will take your fishing to the next level. Oh and Giveaway. That coffee looks delicious.
Thanks for your honest experience and opinion..it looks like a little work..
Definitely take your time and learn the ins and outs. Congrats on the new rig!! Giveaway!!
Enjoyed the video, thinking about getting one. No1 in the area sales them, so might have to drive to South Carolina. Can't wait to see you really out fishing on it.
Great job, man. Def going to check one of these out at the boat show next week
Giveaway! Thanks for the honest initial review of the bote Rover! Looking forward to seeing you figure out how to tailor it to your style of fishing
I watch the videos, I really like them ... the channel is international, there is already a Hungarian viewer ... thank you very much, this is new to me.
Coffeeeeeeeeeeee...... boat looks great. Looking foward to the future vids
Great goin Nick! New adventures make great videos, we love to watch the other guy make all the mistakes so we don’t have too, lol! Just kidding bro, been watching you for awhile, you’ll be fine 👍🏻
Hey Nick, I just got a Bote Rover and I took it out for the first time today. The 9.9hp does have some power for this little skiff. It was pretty sketchy at first but after a while I got comfortable. I fish the South Texas waters as well and hope to see you out one day!
Exactly, I have an Ascend 128T that I rigged a trolling motor to, mainly that just gets me to where I want to fish, then I paddle around. Once I saw this solo skiff I figured if I had one I would use it the same way, motor to get in the general area then paddle around and fish
9.9 on that small craft does look scary, definitely out of my comfort zone. Enjoyed your review, thanks for taking the time.
When the motor died, it looked like u had ur foot on the fuel line. Good vid. Sweet looking boat....skiff.....whatever it is.
Love the music in the beginning
Awesome video man! Those lil boats are dope
agreed
Liking your new fishing rig. With some more time on the water I think you'll enjoy it.
Giveaway...Need to cut the motor while fishing and to plane out you'll need to adjust your seating and the motor. There's a tiller extension out there for your motor. Google it Bro.
Nick I'm impressed with your new style of vids..Great job man
Tight Lines!
thanks, will do
Giveaway.
Good video- agree with Mike B. - Maybe get a bucket seat and move the cooler forward in front of the bar.
Looking forward to see your solution and adventures on this new rig
That transition at 8:40 was nicely done.
Zac Sells Yes it was 👍
Give it time Nick. It’s like everything else, once your used to it, it will be awesome. Keep that motor. You’ll love it. Any smaller and you might as well have trolling motor. Get those extra poles out of your way, adjust the seat to where you are more stable and comfortable. Can’t wait to see the next video.
Pirates cove/waterman's. Cool seeing places I know. I'm going the paddle board fishing route from kayak too.
Thank you Nick!
Giveaway...looks like a blast man good luck with it brotha
this thing is AMAZING! I want one
I love your music tastes. You listen to everything, that’s awesome! I just bought myself the Aero version of the Rover. We gotta get together over there by SLP so you can show me the ropes
I bought the coffee. Brewtal Awakening. Very good!! I will buy more! Givaway.
Appreciate the opportunity for the GIVEAWAY!!
Great video brother but a word of advice, aluminum props not good around oyster beds!! Don’t know if they make that small of stainless prop but you better have a back up prop for skinny water. Tight lines!!
When I get a cut..I bleed coffee. I have to use coffee filters for bandaids. Did I mention I probably drink way too much coffee.
I hear bote powered paddleboards can easily tow mine and Mark's kayaks out to the distant fishing spots with no problems. Probably works best that way. j/k
let's do it bro...ill tow you to wherever
Where them videos at TrailChaiser
ETA on your next video, TrailChaser
Lots of folks buying these lately.
Check out how Lawson Lindsey has his set up; he does a lot of stealth sneaking up on fish in mangroves which is similar to marsh conditions.
My suggestion would be to put a trolling motor on the front, which will balance the weight a lot. The 9.9 is great for covering lots of water but if you’re going straight to a marsh, unloading, and dropping right in a mile or less from where you plan to fish...I’d say maybe consider removing it for those marsh trips and only use the trolling motor.
You can always pop the outboard back on for more open water situations, tougher conditions or longer runs.
You definitely want a tiller extension if you’re keeping any outboard!
Good luck with it, and give it some time & lots of practice 😀
Giveaway,man nick you've came along way from your 1st videos to know ,good job keep it up 🤙
appreciate it bro
Great honest review. 9.9hp is an overkill. I have a Saturn Kaboat, 6hp is plenty. 17mph solo on calm water.
Looking forward to seeing how you tweak things to make it work for you. I do love my coffee, so...Giveaway
Giveaway, thresher setting a trend!
Nick, Congratulations Bro...!!!
I can hear the Excitement in your voice. It won't take long to get use to your Bote. Trim your motor down just 1 pin at a time and it won't be no no time till you find all of its Idiosyncrasies by trail and error. Tight Lines and Full Limits to Ya.!
thanks bro!
@@RXAngler I forgot... 5K GIVEAWAY.
Idk if you have a spare pull string but wouldn’t hurt to have a spare and hand tools to be able to change out the pull string in case it were to break on the water bro. Nice vid!
Nice video Nick, i think a trailer would definitely help
Enjoyed your video from Hawaii.
Nice place to launch. Good bar there.
Take it easy in the no wake zone my man. Nice set up.
Nice set up brother
Nice purchase Nick you will eventually get the hang of it. The Bote Company knows how to make quality and innovative products.
agreed!
That look cool and fun.
Giveaway. Always some sweet editing on your vids .👍
Heck of a rig brother 👊🤙
Gotta get it balanced to where it'll plane and get rid of the apprehension. The fish can smell it lol. Enjoy it. Looks like an awesome little boat.
Giveaway. Change is always good, good luck with your new adventure.
Giveaway fantastic Nick thanks!!
Nice review
Giveaway! Big coffee drinker here too.
Yea you might need to downgrade to a smaller motor. Just found your channel and I hit that red button and 🛎 bell.
Looking forward to more of your adventures on the bote.
I looked at them when they initially came out. I actually went with a 1436 Jon Boat and I’m still getting things the way I want with it changing things around etc.
I still go out a lot in the Hobie 👍🎣
GetOutTheHouseGoFish!
It can be scary but you have to get that throttle up so your boat can get down on plane, if you sit at mid throttle your nose will stay up, your tiller could probably use an extension and you won’t have to play with your seating too much. You were right to not go very fast on choppy water though, im gonna love to see the new fishing adventures with this thing
Giveaway,That's how I was went I took my boat out for the first time, had no clue what to expect from the boat. I got the hang of after a few trips, im sure your gonna get the hang of it.
Yeah, that got a little scary. Too little boat with too much motor! You are a brave man. Looks like super fun in calm water. A smaller motor might only cost you 10% or less in top speed, like less than 1mph for 50lb weight saving and a possible increase in fuel economy. You could power like a 16 foot aluminum boat with that Suzuki! Good video, well done.
Practice makes perfect, take it out as much as possible just to get used to it, IDLE SPEED....factory settings on new motors when it comes to IDLE can really be near "cutting out", if it gives you a lot of trouble, let them check it in the SHOP, one of my boats years ago had the same but a lot worse problem....also avoid crossing those swells at an ANGLE (until you get used to the rocking)......try to keep almost head on or run WITH them.....years of rough water boating in windy North Texas speaking here......the Bote looks good Nick, it will be great in the Marsh!
thanks David. I'm hoping it will be good for the marsh...I do agree that I need more practice on it
Perfect opportunity for someone with my back issues, ... minimalist paddling, lol, electric start would add an even better dimension, ... GIVEAWAY! And on top of already dealing with chronic lumbar pain, I just found out about 2 weeks ago that I have 2 more bulging discs, @ the T5/6, & the T6/7, ... so much fun dealing with this new issue, ... lol, ... I guess this is how one gets to be a tough old bird, ...
Hey Nick as for using your Jerry cans as your primary gas can here's an idea get a extra gas cap for one of your Jerry cans an get a gas line fittings for a bigger boat and hook it through the center of your gas cap with the gas line feeding down in the bottom of the tank so you can hook your gas line to your Jerry cans and eliminate the big gas can and just have the two small ones
Hey do you have any tips on fishing for redfish? I was fishing christmas bay and saw a bunch but no bites at all . I was using live shrimp and gulp mullet and it was my first time kayaking
Tipsy.... that was the end for me. Great video.
Thanks!
Hey Nick it probably be a good idea to go to the 6 horse motor to save weight but you might look into a hydrofoil to help keep the bow of the boat down and help keep it from chin walking and something you might want to look into it might be hard to find to fit one to fit inside the boat Rover it on hooks onto the bottom of your motor
Thank you for the GIVEAWAY!! Is leaving the motor idling while fishing something you would normally do?
Great video, you'll get the hang of it! BTW what lucid dreams remix is this?
Awesome vid!!!! Love the Rover!!!! Giveaway!
It’s going to take some adjusting but I think you are going to like it more and more as you use it!
Great video Nick, I would only put a motor that the boat is rated for, nothing bigger. Definitely get you a trolling motor but the weight you lose in getting a smaller motor you gain back with a battery, for the trolling motor. Unless you go with lithium battery. I will definitely be waiting for your upcoming videos on the changes you make. Giveaway!
I would want a small rail system/Bimini waist high rails in the back, open front and step stool up front on those 4 holes. All set!
You just got to get use to "your" equipment. As you say, it's going to be a Learning Curve. Like other have said, ensure you have your toolbag and extras if or when your need a repair on the water. Believe me, there is nothing like being DOW...Dead on the Water without self-recovery equipment. Also, suggest moving your equipment forward to get on plane faster and to balance your boat...Lastly, as suggest placing rod holders on your cooler to have better visibility while driving and if a hook comes unloose (hook in the eye). Good Luck and Tight Lines Always.
Good tips. Appreciate it my man.
In the future when you launch, you need to actually back your truck in the water just enough so tail pipe is sticking out (get rid of rear bar). Then jump in the back of your truck and shove it out without ever having to get in the water. Load all weight in trk bed with motor and strap down tight front and back and you won’t need rear bar.
Nice videos.
Giveaway, awesome drone footage...
Expensive toy! Pram is the way to go for inshore and comfort...
For about half the cost you could have picked up a 12' flatbottom aluminum boat and the came motor and had a real boat that was stable. This thing looks like a total Hold My Beer and watch this design!
Love the videos. Just got my Bote Rover today. In this video are you putting anything down in your truck when you take it in and out? Thanks.
No
Giveaway! Awesome Nick!
No "Ramp Follies" with that thing...
Giveaway!!!! great job Nick!!!
That’s a good motor it’s just gonna take some time getting used a tiller
That’s a decent size motor I would just get a used skiff 10 to 12 foot off craigslist and install some launch wheels if you don’t won’t to bother with a trailer
Nice! Smaller motor would probably help alot,and some weight in the front in like Mark 😁👍
Lmfao
respect for that song at 8:30 bro
How far does your 9.9hp motor sit in the water after mounted on your rover ive had a bote rover now for almost a year and I just purchased a 9.9 Yamaha outboard motor for more power on my rover but I find that I go slower with it on because it doesn’t sit all the way into the water if you have any advise that would be much appreciated man
Giveaway! Love your videos keep up the good work!
Big coffee drinker. Always trying different brands. They also have a cool pottery mug. Next time check the wind finder before you head out. Tight lines.
Man that thing is about the size of a Dargel Skooter and not near as convenient. For sure more expensive.
Hey that looked scary. I use a 2hp Honda on my 8ft.Walker Bay more than fast enough and trolls down slower than my electric. Tiller has a friction lock screw which I can lean turn and would be hard pressed to burn $2.00 of gas a day. I catch the biggest Rainbow Trout for hundreds of miles. More poundage than most of the Salmon Fisher's who fish the salt water. Weight is the biggest factor in boat speed. Happy you made it home alive but hay you could always come up to the Naniamo BC bathtub boat race to Vancouver BC. I'm sure you would win.
Could you extend the motor tiller and sit further up on the vessel? Maybe get it angled a bit so it is beside you and not behind you?
Giveaway ! Love the videos keep up the great work.
Don't downsize the motor. I don't think it will help for weight reasons. Move the weight (including you) forward. I played on mine for days before I even thought about fishing. Good video.....giveaway.
Giveaway, great video like always 👍🏼
Giveaway. Glad you made it back in 1 piece, LOL.
Nick: catch some fish so you can say the boat is broke in!Keep'em tite!
Nice Taco!
You have to get that boat balanced better, the drone footage showed the bow way too high, did it ever great up on plane? With the motor and you sitting on your cooler it appears to be way too heavy in the back. Maybe get a tiller extension and center yourself in the bote? Good luck!!
Concur on getting a tiller extension, and moving weight (you+cooler) fwd some to get the rig trimmed fore & aft. Did you have anything in the cooler, or was it empty?
Didn't see one in the quick intro, but did you have a caution flag hanging off the end of the bote when transporting in the truck?
yes, the bow was rising too high. I made the adjustment to the outboard since then. I haven't found the right tiller unfortunately
RX Angler it’s out there, and you will prevail!! 😄
Don't think I've seen the Rover plaining in any videos....
Go get them 😎
Looks like like it would work out
Give away! Great vids thanks for the content 👍
Good ...... 👍👍
