🤢 I PUKED My Guts Out Fishing in This Thing! 🤮 + How I Built the Trailer for my Inflatable Boat

Here's a description and some visuals of how I modified my boat trailer to fit an inflatable boat. The trailer is 12ft long. My Zodiac Cadet 350 Aluminum is 11 foot 6 inches long and it about the maximum length that will fit on this boat. I also took the boat out from Half Moon Bay today. It was a 4-5 ft swell at 9 seconds. This was just about the worst conditions I'll be taking the boat out in. Just wanted to test the water and my limits and see how I did with sea sickness....not so well. Details on the giveaway coming soon.

Hey Matts, the crazy kayaker here, sorry I didn't see you puked. Lol. I get sea sick all the time. I learned not to drink coffee in the morning before you go out. Take a dramamine (less drowsy) or meclizine HCL 25mg. It helps me a lot. Hope it will help you too. We have to go out together sometimes.

[@fishingfool2644]

James Yeung that’s the key, one before you go to bed and and one in the morning.

[@lraffucci]

i take a coke (not coke zero, or flavored vanilla). A standard coke in rough seas work like magic.

[@JoseGarcia-ii5ct]

Hey James, Why don't you upload your fishing videos ?

[@JohnCena-iy7dp]

James Yeung thgfp

[@MACNTOSFAM]

lmao. the crazy kayaker, now known on fisherman’s life

[@FishermansLife]

Got a catch and cook halibut on the boat video filmed. Just gotta edit it. Will try to get it out Friday morning!

[@ianh7169]

You need to buy motion sickness patches. They work wonders and are so simple to use. I use them every single time I've been on a boat just for protection. Many people at fishing lodges in Alaska use the patches as they're so efficient for sea sickness. I know they sell them over the counter or online like Amazon but the ones I usually get are prescription.

[@cryptic6619]

you do not know how many times I watch your videos and replay them until you make another video

[@florencristobal7481]

Get some ear plugs, but just use one in which ever ear you want. Works perfect!!! I use to use the dramamine and the patches before. They work well, but one of the guys that was in a charter boat with me gave me an ear plug and he says try it. Man! Simple but effective. Try it and let me know bro. Good luck!! I always enjoy your videos even with vomits and all. LoL!!!

[@daveyjones9273]

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Hilarious! Had me laughing most of the video. It Reminded me of my father, he'd get sea sick and the boat hadn't left docked yet, spent most of the trip lying on the deck, but he did win the pool for catching the biggest fish. Miss that guy.

[@FirstStateFishing]

Well , that's one way to chum the water 😂

[@FishermansLife]

FirstStateFishing -_- lol yeah that seagull came quick

[@g59_jack14]

You guys are both awesome

[@ryancritser1988]

Watch both your guys videos love both your videos

[@jackpickle5486]

Lmao

[@rob571221]

Back when I lived in So Cali, i used to take my friends out on my boat. One guy keep throwing up all the time from sea sickness. I caught all sorts of wierd things that day that I don't normally catch. I caught couple of Cabezon and an octopus. I was fishing with a lead head jig with a artificial worm using cut squid for bait. I usually dont catch cabs or octopus around the area i was at. I was fishing for halibut and sand bass.

[@EG-fb1wc]

This video had me rolling. Had me cracking up more than the crab catch and cook where you caught that smelt and stuffed half in the crab snare. Still have an image of those eyes bulging out of that snare. Keep em rolling. Waiting for the epic Ling or Hali to bless the Butta Boat.

[@vaajrambo2053]

Throwing up a little butter lol!

[@bebeKoRider]

hahaha..its probably 99% butter....

[@JedWellsAZ]

Man I give you mad props for putting this video up. Showing the world that you get sea sick easily. Hopefully you get used to being out on the water soon. Better luck next time my dude.

[@tylersteele1887]

This boat was a well earned treat im glad u take such good care of it and so much pride it looks awsome i hope it treats u well

[@basketballplayer7205]

A little tip: If you have wheels that you can roll the boat into the water with then there is no reason for you to dip the trailer. It will cut your trailers life by more than half as a result of rust. It will start with a little visible rust, then the backup lights will go and finally, the axle bearings will begin to wear and get hot from the salt water. Just a little advice from personal experience

[@FishermansLife]

basketball player 720 thanks for the tip. I'll plan to minimize the amount of dunks the trailer takes

[@cmgoulart]

lookin forward to meeting you Matts, Were kayak fishing at HMB alot. as you know there are fair days and huge lings to be caught. see ya soon, BEST WISHES

[@troynishimoto7875]

What a trooper! I'm sure we all appreciate your dedication to put up a vid hoping to be with some fish but it doesn't always happen! Not gonna be a slaying all the time, glad you posted this up though, very informative although the oceans might have gotten to you. Can't wait til the next drop!

[@ismael1996tarango]

Man I just find you entertaining. Fish or no fish, keep up the good work!!

[@seandelaney4130]

We all have been their, I thought I never can catch the water sickness but it got me on the kayak last year. Thanks for the KZbin channel in joy watching your adventures.

[@Windborne]

Great video Matts! Need to go fishing down there and hit up those big swells and rock the boat!

[@shino8854]

Brah, you bust me up man, such a warrior, even knowing you get seasick you still out there doing what you love. Never change bro, never change. Only person I have subscribed too, Team butter.

[@yippikiyay197]

I love that you fished through your sickness. That's like me near the gate trying to get fish even though water is getting in my boat.

[@Darksagan]

HAHA I love that you kept it real and left the barf scene in there. Youre becoming quite the celeb I even see other channels talking about you..good shit.

[@starofdavid9919]

Hi, nice to see that you really look after your boat and trailer, lovely setup.

[@nicks1stmill]

Matt feeding the fish gotta love it... Matt I'm talkin shit but I feel you bro I do the same thing... I got sea sick just watching this damn video...LOL!!!

[@Jpw333]

My man, you should stay taking a buddy along with you you seem to be much more laid back when you got a friend tagging. You went from 0 to 100 real quick and I believe that a big reason for you often feeling sick out there is extreme anxiety then the motion sickness just takes it to another level. Regardless, thanks for uploading man. As an OG subscriber it doesn't matter what you're doing or if you catch anything. Of course the catch and cooks are the best but we invest into you as a person and feed off your genuinely positive energy so at the end of the day an upload going catchless is better than no upload at all. Thanks for sharing and always keeping it real dog.

[@austinvanstrate9019]

I'm shipping out to basic training for the army in 4 days, don't know how I'm gonna go almost 4 months without one of your videos.

[@FishermansLife]

You the man. There'll be lots to binge when you're back!

[@justblow3ringsgodubs778]

Bro u brought my dad back when he seen u at the bait shop..u the best

Love the vids matt for sure one of my favorite fishing youtubers. Just bought one of your shirts too. Anyways keep up the good work

[@FishermansLife]

"I would not be out here, thats for sure". Yet, he is out there lol.

[@FishermansLife]

hahaha meant on a kayak

[@tomi1964]

Omg You crack me up!!!! 🤮 & 🎣 No catch and cook but still, entertaining as hell! 😂

[@Righteous1ist]

He caught sea sickness today

[@thomasmorrow8629]

Sorry about your sea sickness. I feel for you. I have a 17 ft. sea kayak that I have taken out that very harbor with 17 to 20 ft swells with waves on top of them. I went out about 2 miles and the current was taking me north into the swells. I had fishing gear, but it was really to rough. It was taking all I had to just keep my Yak up right. After about 2 hours I turned around and started paddling back to the harbour. Now the fun part. As I was picking up speed, I was going fast enough to start riding (surfing) those BIG swells. Will I do that again... Not a chance in hell lol. I think the angels was looking out for me that day. Great vids keep um coming.

[@sharonbraselton4302]

buy 17 foot séaray bow rider

[@artm6723]

Awesome videos! I've been binge watching your old videos all morning!

[@net81j]

That's quite a lot of knowledge for just fishing. Good Work Man!

[@collin2502]

You looked green as soon as you got out there😂as an avid sea sicker myself. I can tell you felt it immediately lol

[@FishermansLife]

collin lol not something I'd like to have in common but what can you do

[@p-dub22]

Nice mods to the trailer for a custom fit for the Zodiac. I did something similar with an EZ Loader trailer to fit my Hobie Pro Angler. Sure makes launching and retrieving a whole lot easier.

[@JTrahanUSA]

I have been plagued by motion sickness all my life. It is not fun. My deepest sympathy. Love the Boat. I was so amazed at how much you were able to put in there. Keep up the good work.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

I am glade you posted and are fighting your sea sickness!

[@Brendanglo]

You can do it! Keep on pushing through. You'll develop a tolerance for it!

[@TWITCH3D0UT]

Sea gills! Epic dude! I use to get sea sick too until I started using the prescribed patches they work much better. I can do over nighters and not feel sick once. Good try though, dig the zodiac set up! Keep em bent!

[@surfbreak190]

My son will be 6 tomorrow and is one of your biggest fans. Just ordered him a shirt for his birthday. Thanks for making awesome videos Matts!

[@ericrodriguez6703]

Gotta love these videos, appreciate your hard work!

[@andychapman2849]

Great vid! Love the video, so stoked that u are coming out with a c&c Friday and keep coming out with more! Love ur boat too but what car do you drive now?

[@Request4Parole]

Matt's, that was brave of you to challenge yourself with 4' swells 9 sec. apart! That's too much in the Zodiac. Not so bad in a bigger boat, but you gave it your best shot! I highly recommend getting the Transderm Patch for motion sickness, stick it on behind your ear before you go to bed. Good stuff! Same patch I wore when we fished Ish's Rockcod/Lingcod Tournament trip! Good job on the video and especially for keeping it real!

[@FishermansLife]

vladimir que what about side effects? That's the main the I want to avoid since I want to go out often

[@Request4Parole]

Fisherman's Life Matt's, I've never had any kind of side effects whatsoever. The Transderm patch is specifically made for motion sickness. Dramamine pills makes me sleepy. I will PM you on messenger a picture of what I use. This is the only way I could possibly fish on charters outside the GGB for Bottom fish or Salmon.

[@christopherbiegel9553]

You are so funny, you know that you get seasick, you know that there are swells, and you still don't take the medicine. Keep up the great video's! I wish I was in the CA area so I could come to the meet up.

[@lojofishing]

haha bro I get sick sometimes just watching a boat sway back and forth in the waves lol

[@1hr556]

help ive never gotten sea sick

[@kellergibson5643]

Mate I love your videos bro! I used to get sea sick when I went out with my kayak or boat fishing, but the more you go out the better you will cope until you get used to it but then when you get to shore you get sea legs! lol

Another awesome video . Got to take my hat of to you for being sick and still trying to make the video for us and trying to catch a fish . Wish I was staying in America to meet you for your give away. Tight lines from South Africa

[@toolsnthings5539]

@ Fisherman's life glad you put this video out, can you speak about your current experience with the inflatable boat and how well it holds up. thanks

[@Nomidfarms]

Dude amazing job on the trailer. I’m starting to get more into fishing now that I’m older and I wanna get a boat. That boat on that trailer you customized ain’t going nowhere lol that was a awesome setup

[@talon_mike1721]

I feel your pain matts...i get sea sickness /motion sickness too, as much as i want to go on a boat and fish..i jus cant..😅😅😅 but other thn tht keep up the good wrk man, fish on and tight lines buddy!!!

[@daiseydaddy]

Great video Matt. I feel ya about the sea sickness , i always have to plan breakfast according to how itll taste later. PS: Butter and avacado arent too bad coming up.😂😂😂😂

[@harlemvaught3805]

I really like what you did with the boat trailer the video was great can't wait to get my first boat fishing the shoreline gets boring and yes can't wait for the catch and cook on the boat video lol and if you can do a video with you taking your boat on a river or lake if you can

[@TheFishingExperience916]

That's a bad ass boat set up keep up the great work

[@matthewdeblanc8354]

Epic video, man! Don't apologize for no fish - this was actually one of my favorites lol

[@CAG-1227]

Fisherman's Life Hey man my name is Eli and im really appreciate what you do on your channel, all the hard work, beautiful rivers, mountains and fish, and i should to notice the simple Vids with "butter and avocado" is the most successful and lovely vids for me and a lot of your subscribers... we don"t want to see boats, trailers, fancy gear and etc... we just want to see you and your adventures in the pure wild with maximum simplicity... thank you.

[@musiqmashup]

What happened to "Oh well...Fisherman's life", remember your roots bro.

[@cameronpatrick5954]

Boats and fishing go together like white on rice. Don't listen to these kooks

Ahh wish I could be there to meet you for your give away. Love you channel !! Keep it up bro !!

[@DogDudeDrone]

I feel for ya bro, I get the same way out in the ocean and it sucks! I'm digging the videos, your wild for eating some of the stuff you do man haha. Better luck on the fish next time, PEACE

[@Aaron40117]

fantastic! great information for the trailer. thanks.

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Love the fact you kept it real by leaving in the vomit and not editing it out hahah .. man I really appreciate that level of realness. Great short video! Is there anyway you can give a few of those hats and t-shirts away to your online audience? I know you would incur shipping charges plus additional time but would be very cool to get one of those hats or t-shirts! A big fan - Tom in Kansas City. BTW, I used to live in the Bay area. We would go out all the time to catch Shark and other fish off many of the piers that dot the bay. So windy but great fun! I used to fish the Sacramento river as well but the lead content is so high you were only allowed to eat one fish per year! Not even kidding you. One last thing now that I am thinking about it. I was born in Oceanside and my mom told me that when she was younger she was dive for abalone. Somewhere we have pictures of my mom in a black wet-suit back in the late 60's and early 70's when she was maybe 26, 27 or 28. Thanks again for the videos!

[@joseg5675]

Man I wish I was able to meet you and get one of those shirts 😭 Much love from SA TX man, keep up the great vids 👍🏼

[@Bluxdemon]

hey man well at least you gave it a shot, all you can say is you tried but good luck next time and cant wait to see the next vid.

[@fettybunnii]

Hope that James guy comments lol

[@BayandBeyondFishing]

Matts, I applaud your perseverance dude, trip after trip on a boat and you look miserable lol... but when the fish call, a true fisherman will go. How much Dramamine do you take usually? I was okay with two, but was lowkey trying to keep it in the whole time when I was on a skiff (~4ft swells). All the sweet sweet rockfish meat was worth it though. ooooohh baby. lol

[@therogalladream7580]

[@FishermansLife]

I took one Bonine that day. I'm trying to work up to not taking anything

[@Rerecck]

Ur an awesome fisherman, Im a beginner and I feel ur vidz gone help me out lot, thanks Matt. Any tips live a comment , Im on the east coast.

[@bankmaster5104]

Good stuff... can't wait for your next video on friday

[@jlt7438]

Man you like to fish! I spent 100's of hours building a trailer for my inflatable from scratch and I like yours way more. i have every conceivable kind of metal fabrication equipment but you managed to find off the shelf parts that are perfect. And your video is to funny.

[@dnggusam4382]

Hay Matt, love watching your videos. would be awesome to have your hat and shirt. Sweater looks awesome too.

[@MrMazingo]

At 9:40 "I wouldnt be out here" but guess what you are out there. LMAO... Great stuff

[@alexstevenson7337]

Another great video from you, always lookin forward to new videos. Very cool to see someone big like this on youtube shopping at the same store (outdoor pro shop) in Rhonert Park. You should definitely hit up North Salmon creek beach which is a little bit above bodega bay for some surf perch, it's one of my favorite spots.

[@Javs588]

You the man bro Holden it down like a champ....

[@gurolguven9359]

i get seasick in my boat too but only when i try to make a rig and sort out my hooks etc. when you look around and keep your self busy you will be ok. if you feel sick take a ride with your boat forget about fishing.

[@Justin-hq9mi]

Gets sea sick on boat, buys boat

[@cheesydorito957]

Finally got to try the classic catch and cook with the avocado and metric ton of butter... will be enjoying that again, hopefully soon!

[@DKUSTOMSGARAGE]

Something new to see, throwing up.... good job....

[@eaikau]

Hey Matts nice boat and awesome channel. Keep up the great work. I have a 14ft inflatable setup with downriggers. With the downriggers you can troll with your bait at exact depths. This is the only way to get down deep enough without huge waits and a ton of line out. I couldn't catch salmon until I got the downriggers setup. I have a 1x6 board across the boat tubes just in front of where I sit. The board sits on top of the tubes and is strapped down on each side to a couple of metal loops mounted on the aluminium floor. The board hangs over the edge of the boat just enough to mount 2 manual scotty downriggers on each end. I think if I did it again I'd get the long arm downriggers so I don't have to mount the downriggers so far out. Anyway this is how I finally got success trolling for salmon in Vancouver BC. Good luck out there.

[@PoianaMarco]

Haha oh wow. Nice job mate. You are the best

[@nickrj2087]

Hey Matt greeting from Malaysia, i love your video man. I always wait for your new upload. Btw, u may try SEA-BAND wristband to prevent seasickness which its work by exerts pressure on accupressure point on your wrist.

[@congtruong8489]

you just gotta rock with it you know it will be better if you keep going like that

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

You'll get used to it. Just have to go out more. If it's been a while and there's swell we get sick too. I'll get sick sometimes on a ruff shore dive. Once you puke you feel better. Keep up the good work and slay those cabs!

[@seanoutdoors1705]

Hey fisherman’s life I was wondering if you could link your fish finder mount for your inflatable boat thanks. Love your videos keep it up!

[@tomassmith5461]

haha nice video Matts. too bad about the sea sickness. the only time i get sea sick is if i do not see land or if i am focused on a stationary point in the boat. try looking at the horizon or sucking on a slice of ginger throughout your time on the water. that works on some people anytime you want to kayak fish hit me up i have a hobie that i can lend you.

[@cherr6red]

Lmao this is awesome.. u are always so persistent no matter what

[@MHix63]

If you can get a line secured to the stern of your boat, you can probably pull it off the trailer without having to step in the water. Also, depending on how waterproof your trailer electronics are, I'd suggest backing it into the water further. It will make your launches/retrievals easier.

[@DanielGomez-jk6bv]

Oh Matts.. I usually watch, enjoy and learn from your videos... this one though, sorry man, had me rolling on the floor! All I can say is that reminds me when I got seasick myself, I can hear me yelling at you "bite the anchor Matts, bite the anchor"

[@Trojwaterman]

If you get sick look at the land don't look in the boat it can help. Swell is the worst if you do get sea sick But there are plenty of bands, patches, tablets that can help prevent it you just have to find the best one. You should just get used to the motion over time.

[@seabasshwd]

I used to use sea bands, Scopolamine, and a good night's sleep to keep from getting sick. After a few months of that, I no longer get sick and dont take anything (been several years now). Maybe I'll see you on the water sometime. Salmon season is about to start so I'll be out in HMB the week of the opener.

[@fijikava1984]

Good stuff! Keep up the good fishing techniques

[@fijikava1984]

Now you got to get your baitcast reel game on bro.stop wasting time with surf reels .

[@jimhallmark8680]

I used to do the same thing boats when I was your age and good friend from our church was on a charter boat with me and even the Captain was getting sick so she said to eat some saltine crackers and it works great. Get some plain old Premium Saltines from the store an when you get a little funky feeling start eating a bunch. It does work for sure.

[@craign7995]

Scopolamine patches for the win (and no throwing up). Highly recommended.

[@BenChung78]

kayakers and boaters have a rough time in heavy surf...and most of us get seasick and puke...in my case puked 3 times in the span of 5 minutes...couldn't get myself to fish the rest of the day...I was wondering whether it was worth it or not for that trip. Decided that any swell larger than 3 feet with any period more frequent than 10 seconds means that there will be some seasickness...which means that more than half of our days off cannot be set aside for kayaking since half the time the swell is just to large and the period too frequent....all about the weather and timing.

[@Daniel-el5gx]

Love your videos man!

[@douglasoliver2527]

Love your videos man
