    Who is SmallmouthCrush?
    Travis Manson was born and raised in Wisconsin. He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked ever since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of years. He is a full time fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York on Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River. His RUclips Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy, and until next time we will see you on the water!

    I realize it won’t move side to side, but push the boat frontwards or backwards and see if they just fold in and allow the boat to hit the dock….

  • @gibby9209

    Looks like a great idea but most docks don't have the cleats spaced the same distance across from the boat cleats

    • @SmallmouthCrush
      @SmallmouthCrush  2 года назад +2

      Also some docks will sit higher up from your boat. Certainly still need to have a bumper system and ropes but in certain situations especially with floating docks this is perfect.

    What do you do when the cleats dont line up?

  • @kevindflowers234
    @kevindflowers234 2 месяца назад

    What do you do when the dock cleat isn't lining up with your boat, or it's too far away for the dock rod to reach? Get a longer bungee? Get longer rods? Seems like it would be really good for a very specific docking situation with a few, pre-planned docks... but not something that would replace the universality of a bumper or fender. Anyone with a little sewing know how and access to those rubber gym mats can make a fold over bumper pad that could be secured to the gunnel or boat cleats, and it would protect from basically every dock out there... including if the dock went on top of the gunnel, or things weren't level or evenly spaced. I like this idea a lot better, but it seems like it's very niche.

    Still would need some bumps in the middle if the boat pushes forward or backwards, guess you still need some rope to tie on front and back off boat to pull the movement out. ?

  • @mikekreen9336
    @mikekreen9336 2 года назад +3

    Overly excited about using a system that works fairly well in this particular water and docking situation with this size and weight of a boat. I can see where this concept could be expanded upon to accommodate other tie-up scenarios and prevent a forward or backward drift. There is no way I would leave my boat unattended by, "bungee cords". So what keeps the boat from sliding along the dock forward or back, which will put the rods at an angle, then the whole boat will move into the dock. Something else to consider is tidal changes. Sorry, for these reasons I'm out.

      It’s been working out great for me so far. I tried to show the boat moving back-and-forth with my feet really hard to mimic wind. I typically don’t have to Doc anywhere where there’s 2 to 3 foot rollers coming in so far they’ve been a great investment for me and protecting my boat

      @SmallmouthCrush  2 года назад

      Poles and ropes will hold a boat but I was looking for something that wouldn’t not allow the boat to rub the side of the docks. Piled and ropes will keep your boat in one spot but the waves and wind will blow it up against the docks
