My First Attempt Docking a Large Sport Fishing Boat (The Good, Bad, and Ugly!)

[@ClassXIRoads]

Very well done, cool and calm, 2 years ago we bought a 43 foot cruiser our slip is a stern in also. took awhile to build confidence, one thing for sure is neutral is your friend.

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Appreciate that!

[@daytonwintle6051]

One thing I love about the bigger sport fishing boats is the big props. They're very very easy boats to handle and great to learn on. Gotta watch out tho cuz they tend to throw a bit of a wake even at idle 😂

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Very true Dayton!

[@FtLMale1]

Nice Lesson. Most important aspect is what to do when you mis-judge and how to recover. Take is slow so you have time to think and react.

[@no1luhrs]

Nice job. Slow and steady gets the job done....... no crunching fiberglass

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Appreciate that Ed!!!

[@carlosllama9979]

Man that was awesome great job 👏

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Much appreciated Carlos, tight lines!

[@jimbobakabrutus1230]

Soooooo. I have always owned center consoles but have fished on a 31 bertram for a while and the first time I backed sea fever into our slip I bent an outrigger. Luckily she was very seasoned and we straightened it up very well with my 3/4 " emt bender 🤣

I have a 41' silverton flybridge and after three seasons it is still a handful with a little current and wind. Still learning.

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

We all are for sure! Appreciate the comment!

[@allaboutyachting]

Best conditions to learn 👌

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Yep, perfect day for it Capt!

[@firemed1c1]

It’s cool to see a local marina I work in Northumberland

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Yep, we feel the same!

Old buzzard point, is the crazy crab restaurant still at reidville?

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Yep, still there Steve!

LOL, well, we didn't damage anything, so I was pretty happy about that!

Reminds me of the Coast Guard. I made quite a few mistakes.

[@josephwilliams3494]

Nah you missed the first attempt because Tavita was on Facebook when he was meant to be filming 😄 🤣 😂

[@jasonwaldon8939]

What kind of boat was that?

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

40' Blackwell

[@Kapnwill]

Luckily he gave this one a little instead of that one a touch. Very clear instruction

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Great that the Professor is a patient coach!

[@bloodmoneyadventures]

Nicely done. Nothing for nothing but that is not a sportfish. That is what is normally called an "Open"

[@anthonydecesare2054]

Remember they are called “Rub Rails” for a reason.

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

LOL, true!

[@jamesbell9797]

Twin screws are way easier than a single screw!

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Indeed!

[@scomo532]

Easy when there’s no wind

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

No wind certainly helps Scott. Good point. Thanks for stopping by👍

[@andrewbecker2580]

"red buoy?" Maybe "daymark"

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

Yep. That's why I created this channel Andrew, to learn. Stick around and you'll hear a lot more screw ups like that one. 🙂

Now you need to buy a nice boat to practice

Standing backwards makes it twice as hard for me

Get a 0 turn lawn mower lol.

If you suck at parallel parking, don’t bother trying this, you haven’t the coordination.

[@warlordop713]

One has nothing to do with the other

[@michaelpowell9164]

How to say this without being a jerk..... Are you wanting this to turn into a tv series? The intro is too long! Specially if I have to watch the same long intro every video. I know content creators say skip it. I do but.......just saying

[@saltwaterfishinguniversity]

If you watch our recent videos, it’s much shorter. We are learning as we go.

[@michaelpowell9164]

@@saltwaterfishinguniversity let me give a reason I don't like long intros, content that doesn't get to the point, intros that repeat the same information in the content. It costs me data to watch fluff. That's it. I get 30 gig of high speed data then I get throttled. Creators want longer videos because you want click worthy videos, and I believe you get paid better for longer videos because you offer more ad spots. I wonder if it's shooting y'all self in the foot. I know I click off when your wasting my data. Sorry

[@michaelpowell9164]

@@saltwaterfishinguniversity I need to clarify. I have an unlimited data plan from Verizon wireless. But it's not unlimited hi speed data. No plan has unlimited data for real. Thanks I wish more content creators realized why people click off their videos.
