I can launch anywhere!

- With this tracker 1542 I can launch nearly anywhere and catch bass that are virgin and eager to bite! I can fish 3 people for it's stable. With the tricked out trolling motor I can go about 5 miles with one battery. Along with the special rudder, front deck and anchoring system, it really gets the job done!
Both my grandparents are gone now. Roland's heavy breathing reminds me of my grandpa.
Two years later this motor is going strong ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
I got the same boat. Beat to shit but I have a great time going in the water. I wish I was introduced to fishing as a kid. It's great to have folks like you show you how to fish and overall just have fun.
Love it. Simple. Not much in frills. Keeps the weight down and gets you out there! I am looking to get an aluminum Jon boat, for now I have a little craw dad that I haven’t taken out yet but soon, and I hope to get to all the spots I couldn’t. Thanks for the videos and inspiration. I will probably use that anchor system as I have about 75lbs of lead and I like how simple and do it yourself it is.
Those anchors work
Roland is a cool dude. I'd like to fish with him.
Ok son you sold me. Been looking for a little boat and I like the tips
That is a neat set up..
Roland, there will never be another like you. Probably a millionaire, but still designing a cheap boat to get into difficult spots. A pure fisherman, no other like you. Your energy is equal to people half your age. I have been fishing for 55 years and still get just as excited each time I go, so understand where you are coming from. Thanks for all the wonderful fishing adventures you have shared with me over the years.
This guy seems like he knows what he's doing.
A lot of big-name anglers would like you to believe that fishing is extremely complicated. When it gets down to it, there is a lot of common sense, mixed with some science. Rowland Martin is successful because of his ability to keep things simple, yet understand the science behind what makes fish eat. This example of his simple rig gets him on the water where very few other anglers tend to go. Fishing waters that have no fishing pressure gives him an edge on catching these fish. Keeping things as simple as possible yet understanding the science of big fish are likely traits that have made Rowland the legend in fishing that he is today.
yep. after all these years your still after them. love it. I love the deal your not a commercial but a fisherman sharing.the knowledge you have learned thru the years. much respect for you. thanks
Roland freakin Martin 😁🎣
Roland I swear it looks like I fish across the other side of that canal all the time. Not gonna mention it on here but I know I fish right across from there. Caught a couple of bass out of there too. I've watched you on TV for years and years and now we're both down here having fun. Thanks for sharing Roland, you made my day.
That's what I love about this guy, I was watching him when i was a kid, and now i'm an old man. He could have the nicest boat, the nicest motor, the best rods, the best everything, yet he'll fish with something us little fish would fish with. That folks is what you'd want from a fishing superhero, some humility. Thanks, Roland
Roland that is what I need! Thank's I learned how to fish from your TV shows.
The world of Bass Fishing owes a debt of gratitude to you Mr. Martin, for revolutionizing the sport. You sharing your wisdom in this format and bringing tips to the real world weekend, after work, fisherman is refreshing. You don't need an $80K bass rig to catch em. The best bass fishing to be had is in a quiet pond or canal from a jon boat. BTW if someone made a movie or documentary of your life I would watch it.
Thanks roland
His $100,000 bass boat is at the house with flat tires and two years worth of leaves in it and I LOVE that. You don’t have to go 70mph to catch fish.
This reminds me of a boat Bill Dance used to have manufactured and sold. I believe it was called the backwater boat and it looked like a tricked out Gheenoe. It was a sweet boat for fishing places that receive not a lot of fishing pressure.
I’m exhausted!
Love your videos!! Easy launch. Easy load
Pretty cool to see a man of such fame and talent fishing out of a john boat. Hes fished out of the nicest boats in the world and he still goes to a john for prime fishing. Your an inspiration roland 👍
This man is a fishing god
Just got me a 14 foot. Two trolling motors. Took it out twice before the season ended. LOVE IT!!
Thanks Roland this was very useful! You have no idea!
Would like to see Roland go head to head with some of the googan squad. I bet they could learn a thing or two from his old school tactics. Keep the videos coming Roland. Good stuff. 👍🏼
Tiny boat nation!!!!!
Ur Still the best sir love ur channel I really look up to u and Scott god bless yall
I love it just goes to show you don’t need a 70k boat to catch fish
*Roland Martin G.O.A.T.*
Great idea on the rudder--although I think I'd probably install a rectangular "fence" using 2x3's, so that the cooler wouldn't slide out from underneath you.
love watching your videos and i have really learned a lot from you
I found a Roland Martin lure while fishing. I believe it from the 70s and is in really good shape.
Wouldnt it be easier to put a cleat on the deck than a bunch of loops and a nail sticking up on the deck
A cleat is the best
Good video 👍 just subscribed ,been watching and learning from you since I was a kid.
Fishing like an average Joe...gotta love this man...
Also i think by law you have to have a paddle. And it's just a good idea anyway.
I’m not a fisher at all lol never done it but this is so pure I love his energy
Son, your a bass catchin, weed eaten fisherman. Plus your anchored... Great job, only thing missin is Bill fallen outa the boat...
I follow you on fish brain also, love the boat set up I do most of my fishing out of small boats and kayaks. I hope to save up for a big boat one but being a disabled veteran it's going to take awhile.
Sir you and your son Scott are what a family is all about. I watch both of you guys and I love the atmosphere around both of you.
i thought you were about to pull out a maga hat for a second
SALESMANSHIP >>>Folks Roland is so good as sales You don't even know He is selling 'winks'
Is he the Man or What!
I need to build that front deck for my 14 foot topper !
Is that Naples?
I love fishing those canals. Tons of peacocks, oscars, clown knifes, bass, tilapia, and even some salt species.
It is truly a fun area to fish, you will always leave with some crazy story.
Having to load & unload all that crap everytime you want to go fishing would be a real pain. Simply buy or build a trailer for the boat.
Some areas in Florida don't allow trailers of any kind!
@@RolandMartinOutdoors How very strange. As far as I know, Texas does not have this. I just know that at 74 years old, I get very tired of loading & unloading my canoe off my truck camper every time I want to go fishing.
could run ANY set up he wants and is putting around in a DYI jon boat, LOVE IT!!!
Roland knows the good value of a dollar like many of us and the over value of over kill.
Really cool Roland !!!!!! Lots of good ideas
That’s a lot of huffing and puffing .... making those 3 little pigs nervous
Lookin for idea's for my own custom jon boat build. Videos like this are awesome. Thank you!
I want one just like it for the Gasconade River. Thanx
I have been fishing in the U.P. off of a 1436 jon boat for years. Everything from rivers, to inland lakes, to Lake Superior on a calm day. Everything from blue gills and walleyes to trout and salmon. Can't beat a jon boat you can just throw in the back of a truck and go. I don't want the headache of a big boat, rather have a friend with a big lake boat.
Why was I under the impression that the title to this video was pure sarcasm. And you at the beginning was some bitter old guy (no offense) being sarcastic about how “you think you can just launch anywhere!?”
i like it. Simple and cheap rig to get your butt out on the water. Just bought a 1232 jon boat for small backwoods trout holes. You gave me some ideas!!
My God man buy a trailer. You don't sound too well with all that cardiac arrest heavy breathing. You know they sell 10ft Jon boats. That's more ideal for truck beds.
Getting myself a 1542 very soon for a winter project. I've built several tin boats over the years from simple to full on bassboat. Sadly selling my ProCraft hopefully this season if not in the Spring. To put it simply new or used full sized trucks are just out of my price range now that I'm retired. Not to mention the smaller boat is easier for me to handle on my own after too many surgeries too. I like that that model is rated for up to 25hp as well, should scoot right along if I decide to put an OB onto it. Plus my daily driver car can easily tow this thing on a lightweight trailer, saves me a ton of money and an extra vehicle. I just want to bass fish and these seem to fit everything I'm looking for. Thanks for the video.
Cant decide if Roland short breaths due to age or bruh just fired up to fish dem chunks. Goin with fired up. #GOAT
Roland Martin have you heard of a fishing kayak? They're made for the exact same reason you are using that 200lb boat for, but weigh 1/4 of what that beast weigh. You should consider getting one for a guy your age a strain can do a lot of damage to you.
Good point
That sounded like a real work out. If you are young and strong, but for me it will definitely deter me from going fishing...inflammations. Being poor is a real pain!
Great Video and presentation!!! Thank you
There’s a couple of lakes near me that don’t allow outboards and don’t have Access to a ramp except by foot or bike and have asphalt walk ways we take a construction sheet rock dolly it works great for our small John boat, Adapt and over come , there’s room for the trolling motor and battery!!
The fish salute and swim at attention for Mr.Roland
You wanna know another ghetto fabulous anchor system that is cheaper than that lead can? Pour concrete into a coffee can and set a metal loop in the center. You'll end up with like a 20 lb anchor for less than that lead can anchor.
You are to old for that, buy a tráiler AND a motor boat ,pleace.😰
Nice idea Roland. What is the location of this place?
You should center the trolling motor for better handling and put a paddle in there.
I just stumbled across this video and… I love it! Man, we all make things so complicated when they just don’t need to be. This is bare bones and everything you need to get to the good spots. This is a true fisherman and I’m grateful to him for giving us all a smack-upside-the-head to remember what it’s all about at the core… fishing!
Ghetto rigging out his jon boat, like the average poor man in a pinch. Mr. Roland Martin ain't too proud. This is what makes him a legend! Love your RUclips content!
Yup. I really appreciate his videos. Same way I think.
@Joey Word Tomato, "tomahto". Two very similar worlds, when you dissect it. ;)
@Joey Word Hey now, what's with the name calling? There's plenty of creativity in rough neighborhoods. But I'm sure you'd prefer to live behind your convenient curtain of ignorance. God forbid you actually learn something. I'll give you an opportunity: Google Nipsey Hussle. He just passed away so there are plenty of articles highlighting his acclaimed music, as well as him giving back to his community, which I guarantee makes him a better man than you could ever dream of being. Keep up trying to be macho behind a keyboard; I'm sure it will get you so far in life.
Heck his go to boat is only a bass tracker 16
Wats wrong with you
Meanwhile there dudes out there in $85k boats who cannot put a 10lb stringer together. I fish a 14 48 with a 25 hp. I am NOT a great fisherman by any means, but I catch my share. I also do not have a boat payment for the next 15 years.
Same, plus it fits nicely in my garage!
Well said
What is your Fishbrain handle. I’d love to follow. #fishbrain
Roland Martin
Catch your breath man, jesus
The fishing sport is not to expensive !! Looks Mr Roland Martin, he have a lot of money and he’s a legend in fishing!!!
And he still have fun with this boat and this kind of stuff !!!
Thanks for show us all the tricks and knowledge! I admire you mr Roland
THATS IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!
You don’t needed to much money for build this kind of stuff!!! And it’s really great for fishing!!! Maybe it’s better, because you build this with vision and proud!!!
Today all anglers have motors and expensive boats! It’s not necessary!
All is marketing
Let’s go fishing
Roland if you like this boat and set-up, you’re gonna love the 13 ft Kaboat set-up I have. Literally can take it anywhere, in anything, and store it wherever. Check it out!!
I will
I'm from Russia.Could you tell me the dimensions in centimeters please.length , width, height of sides
I would need a conversion table which is available on the internet
What about a 1436? can't find many 1442's or 1448's without the store overcharging the ever living crap out of you. Not paying 1200+ for a jon boat that should cost 600-700. 14ft seems to be my ideal length, any longer and it's just too long.
My 1542 is a little heavy when I'm by myself
Thanks I am going to use these trucks on my car topper
That boat is pretty well used on the bottom!
oh they always say they are virgins lol...
Thank u sir I got Jon boat needed few tips
Mr Roland what size pushpole is that. I think it would work for my bass tracker.
I have several from 14-20 feet
You know, I so appreciate you showing pretty much the way I fish every time. Never too proud. I love my jon boat with all the little ways to have it set up but I do have a little 5 hp motor from '75 on the stern .
Hi what brand is that ? what would you choose if you were me. me and my wife will use it on ponds, and reservoirs. i'm thinking a 12 to a 14 foot. Thank You Jeff.
Tracker
Dude, just buy an angler kayak. Native, Kobie, Old Town, Jackson...duh
Love my Yak hohoho
hi Roland. I just checked out your video and enjoyed it. are you going to be doing another one anytime soon? thanks
What a great guy. I'm exhausted just watching him. Don't know how he loads that thing back up.............
Thanks I enjoyed it.
My mann!! I like your style
it just need more weight in the rear of the boat to even out the boat .
A great big fat A+++...love that rig!
I always tether the drain plug with a piece of wire to transom bolts with electrical connection round ring. The yellow for a 3/8" connection. And fasten to drain plug with some slack off course.
I'm going to try that!
That's what it's all about! Getting into those spots that the $70k bass boats don't go. People ask me why I fish off the kayak more than any other route. Simple answer... I can go where nobody else goes where the giants lurk.
Virgin water = Giant Bass
Love to see a "hybrid" setup, imagine adding a small gas 1hp motor/generator/alternator as a battery charger. if you need to travel more distance, you just crank up the gasser. a 25lb motor with a 1/2 gallon of gas should run a good few hours and increase your range.
Good idea
I swear you’ve got to be related to bob hope
Ooh ouch, dropping the tin out of the bed.
I can see that anchor line slipping off the nail, but they're cheap enough to replace. I like the big aluminum nite ize cam lock Caribeaner for this. Time will tell if it holds up.
You were really scootin along!
I now gone to the micro powerpole
You have to be careful in south florida fwc has written citations for launching boats where there wasn't a proper designated boat ramp...but i still like your simple rig
I haven't heard about that so I'll check
Be careful now cause if your by yourself and you get hurt.....your by yourself.
I usually have a camera man
I believe you about your Doc and the dancing. Makes sense to me. But in the meanwhile, consider slipping that little inflatable vest on and you will always be around to go dancing. Here in OK. boot scootin' is still a big deal with us old croanies,
You are absolutely right!
We've forgot the drain plug and whittled out a stick and screwed/pushed into the drain hole and fished all day. The wood swelled up after it got wet and sealed out the water really well. Great tips from the legend Roland Martin. Thanks for posting, John
I've done that more than once!
