Pelican Bass Raider 10E: Fishing Lake Woodlands

[@chucksmith5002]

I have the same problem can`t stand either lol . No but it can be a little challenging trying to move around in one I have one myself and I`m 300lb. Nice Bass . Glad to see the fishing part I seen your Build part like it .

[@Valerifon1]

Wow! I've been fishing Lake Woodlands since '94 off and on. I caught a crappie there that missed the state record by 1/2 inch... I'm relatively new to your channel and will keep an eye out for you whenever I go fishing there again. Atb - Luther

Super nice casting/gigging deck

Good fish and good job helping the rower out

Love the setup. Usually when I manage to fall it's out and

[@maxcastfishing4357]

terry mccorkle thanks for the compliment! Thankfully I’ve never fell out, but I know it’s bound to happen someday.

[@christhomas5118]

I used to fish Lake Woodlands exclusively! I planted several PCV pipe structures that I can share the locations with you. Biggest Crappie out of that lake was almost 4lbs! 19-3/4"

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Hi Chris, I am not that familiar with Lake Woodlands. I think it’s a really nice lake. Also, it’s only about 15 minutes away from the house. Yes, I would love to know where the habitats are located! 4lb crappie - that’s incredible! My email is: [e-mail] Thanks!

[@kevintolliver6824]

Like the modifications done the boat, will you share ideas

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Wow! I didn't expect to see you fall like that. Don't feel bad because I fall all a time in my little boat.🤣😂🤣 man that's a really nice little boat you have there. Good video.🙂

[@Tim_Ruiz13]

Not even sure if I will get a response since this is so old but I just acquired one and wondering what I need to buy to run the battery in the back and trolling motor in the front. I have seen some videos that I need a new socket in the front or something?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Check out the trolling motor plug that is linked in the description for the video. All the best!

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

That looks like a great lake you got there! Looking forward to the next vid!

[@richardd767]

I gave u a thumbs up just because of the excellent recovery from the little tumble I like what you did to the boat good job fishing to

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Richard DeMore thanks! I thought for sure I was getting wet, but somehow managed to stay dry 😳

[@alphamalebro]

You had that fish out of the water for over two straight minutes... survivability drops rapidly after the first minute out.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

alphamalebro thanks for the information

[@ericreyes9896]

Would you say that the troll king is a must have?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Yes! It’s a game changer!!!

[@Magik1369]

Nice fish...just got back from an outing myself on my Pelican Bass raider 10E...me and my buddy got 12 bass....all over 3 lbs ...biggest was 5.75 lbs. Only bad thing was a big ole hog bass smacked my 1/2 oz Lunker spider, pulled it clean off the line and then spit it out like 5 ft in the air...wish I could've got it on video. I was lucky to recover the $7 lure. Love the mods you did with your rig. That thing is set up for serious action. That lake looks decent and everything but where's the cover? Is it all big wealthy homes? You got to get up to New England and fish the stump ponds..you can see clear to the bottom and not a home in sight.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Magik Mage what a great day of fishing! Lake Woodlands is just an okay lake. There isn’t much cover or structure; it’s basically a giant swimming pool, but it does hold big bass. Thanks for the compliment! All the best!

[@Lumberjack-drummer]

This boat is niiìce!!

[@firehawk3125]

Can you show the layout or design of casting deck? Like how it’s mounted, bracing andall

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Here is a video detailing how to make the casting deck. All the best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g16lmZh6h6aqa5o

[@floydaltonmiller]

I really like the mods that you have done to your boat.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

floydaltonmiller thank you!

[@Eco.boost2.7]

The only problem with lake woodlands is they don’t allow gasoline motors. They used to allow you to only troll with them but now you cant even use them at all, it’s exclusively electric only.

[@richardd767]

I have a bantam Bass Tracker that I have for a long time but thinking about getting the 120 Pelican tracker cuz it already comes with the decks and the fish keeper and a storage but I do like what you did with the boat

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Richard DeMore the Catch 120 is a great looking setup for sure; although I’ve never fished one. I’d consider that more of a kayak style boat and if I was to go that route, I really like the look of the Bonafide Kayaks. I love the Pelican Bass Raider 10e, but beware if you start modifying it like I did you’ll need to get a trailer, as it can be too difficult to lift into a truck bed. But if you keep your PBR 10e simple with a few mods, it’s so easy to make a wheel dolly and get it in and out of a truck bed!

[@Guitarsdetectors]

Oh well maybe you’ll have better luck next fall 😜

[@Fajah69]

So the waterfront house owners are not shouting on you to get out of their "water"? That is something new...

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Nope, no homeowners have shouted at me while fishing on this lake. Now that I think about it, I don't think anyone homeowner has ever fussed at me! All the best!

[@danh8751]

That tiny half deck freaks me out

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Well, it’s bigger than a kayak standing area!

[@lancelemmonsoutdoors6499]

What did you have to do to register your boat? I just moved here from Louisiana and I’m looking for great places to fish

[@donausmus4281]

Stability is why I chose the Polycraft 300.

Please do a video of how you rig your boat, i like to see the motor control and deck layout

[@iaincain4356]

So I saw the modification video and I was still curious on how you got the casting platform to stay?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Iain Cain I used four screws at the corners to srew it down to the top. Here’s a video with more details on the casting deck. All the best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g16lmZh6h6aqa5o

[@iaincain4356]

MaxCast Fishing thank you so much! You are very helpful I appreciate it a lot. I just got myself a bass raider 10e as my first boat and was looking to do something to it to make it more efficient

[@fishingmojados1121]

nice setup man!

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Fishing Mojados thank you! I enjoy this little boat very much!

[@jtee9548]

When I watched the construction video I was thinking 1) my fat ass would get too near the edge of the casting platform and I'd be swimming and 2) my dumb ass would forget about the drop and take a step backwards off the deck and snap/smash/crush something important. Like my neck. When I saw you fall I thought, "yep, that'd be me".

[@maxcastfishing4357]

J Tee believe it or not - I’ve never fell in!

@Preston Jaden i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@cesargonzalez8081]

Would i be able to use a boat like this in saltwater or basically cast off from the long beach harbor and just go just under a couple miles out or this is not a good choice for the ocean.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Cesar Gonzalez I’m pretty sure you could use a bass Raider in salt water! Check out the Facebook group Pelican Bass Raider and Bass Hunter Style Boats. I’m pretty sure there’s some people in this group who salt water fish in boats like this. All the best!

[@steven2AU]

Nice setup! What do you do about a livewell?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Steven Adams thanks! I use a large igloo cooler with a water circulation kit. I’ve only used it once, but I have it if I need it!

[@steven2AU]

Would you recommend the water circulation kit or just dispatching the fish and putting it on ice?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Steven Adams I like to put them on ice; I think they are easier to clean that way. I have the livewell in the event I fish a tournament.

[@steven2AU]

Thanks for your input!

[@restless7528]

Awesome video! what type of camera you using? Garmin Or go pro? I'm looking for a good chesty camera?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Cornfed !!!! Thanks for the compliment! I’m using the GoPro Hero 4 on the 5 minute looping setting. The video quality is not bad, but I’d like to upgrade soon! I use the GoPro chesty mount. All the best!

[@cmbtvet01]

Nice rig you have, you just need to get a fish finder for it.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Cmbtvet outdoors thank you! I completely agree, I’ve wanted to add a fish finder for a while now, maybe sometime with DI and SC.

[@cmbtvet01]

MaxCast Fishing an inexpensive but very good unit would be Lowrance’s Hook2 series. Make sure though you get one with maps. I bought one for my John boat and didn’t have map support so it kinda sucked. I had the 3 in 1 transducer and it’s pretty nice.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Cmbtvet outdoors that’s the one I think I’m going to get, the Hook 2 7in Tripleshot! Thanks for the advice!

[@maxcastfishing4357]

I'm happy you stopped by! Thanks for the sub!

[@homergarcia5360]

How shallow can it go? I know the weight limit is 600, have you ever tried going a little bit over ? One more question, if I sit that on a utility cart, would it be heavy to push around ?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Homer Garcia depending on how much weight you have in it will depend on how shallow it can go. With all I have in it, I can move along in about 1 1/2 to 2 feet just fine as long as move the trolling motor up. We had a really bad flood here in Texas back in 2016 (know as the tax day flood) and sections of my neighborhood flooded really bad. I bought this boat used off Craigslist a few days before and the day it flooded, I used it to rescue 8 family’s from their house. One family consisted of two laddies that were easily 300 plus pounds and had 4 suitcases. I estimated with me and everything thing else we had around 850 pounds in the boat and it kept us dry!!! The water was about an inch away from the seam/half line of the boat.

[@maxcastfishing4357]

Homer Garcia a flat utility cart should work. There’s several guys on KZbin that have made wheeled carts for these boats. Basically a piece of wood a little longer than the width of the boat with two harbor freight wheels on them and a strap to keep it from moving.

[@walkerjw81]

I'm getting a small outboard for Father's Day for my 10e. Do you leave the outboard on the boat when you're traveling?

[@maxcastfishing4357]

James Walker that’s an awesome Father’s Day gift!!! I do not leave the motor on the boat. It’s too easy to take on and off for me to risk damaging the boat while trailering on the road. All the best!

Lifeguard102 if I remember right, I stepped on something on the floor that made me lose my balance. To me, this boat is stable considering it’s small size.

Gene Hillyer love it - she shops, you fish! That’s what I’m talking about. Only two fish that day. I’ve made it back out there and caught more. The deepest area around North Shore Park is 8ft in the middle of the lake. I’d say the average depth around the shore is 4 to 6 ft.

[@ronbennettoutdoorswildlife1514]

Just shows you don't need a $50,000 boat to catch nice fish.
