Have a 22 CC, but a co worker had a 23 ft 78 Robalo project boat and had to shed it. So I asked my son if he wanted to do a father/son refurb. Was searching the old YT for tips and now I'm a fan of the channel. Maybe I'll have some extra cash down the road for the patreon, but for now limited budget and a wife thats not to happy about another boat in the barn, UA-cam it is Really enjoy the videos. ROĹLTIDE!!!
I am a proud father of two boys, watching your kid following your steps, behaving so stoically and efficient with the fishing technique is so fulfilling, fish are very important but the real catch are the memories you are treasuring, great day, fantastic eating and amazing content! Keep them coming captain 🎣
Thank you very much! It was really great getting to spend a morning fishing with my Son and Brother! Hopefully we will be able to post more of this kind of videos on the channel if you all are enjoying then. As always I appreciate your support of the channel!
You are the man Joe . Really enjoyed the fishing video and I love to boat building. Tell mark we all miss him and he needs to pop in on the videos every now and then
Thank you very much! I will be sure to tell Mark that you all miss seeing him in the videos. I hope to do more of the family fishing videos, and I will try to include Mark in those if he can go. Appreciate you watching!
@FishBumpTV Your very welcome. To see your willingness to wait out the thunderstorm last Tuesday and then putting us on the fish like you all did was amazing and I will always be grateful for that. So thank you
Nice video Captain Joe! That’s the King I’m looking for. We are going to get him! Logan definitely putting in the work. Hats off to Mark, man can cast! Thanks for sharing your family fishing trip.
Thank you Mr Mark! We are gonna get you one of those big Kings, it's just a matter of time! Glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate you watching and commenting
Thank you very much! Just trying to pass along some of what I know to my son, the same as my Father did for me! Glad you are enjoying the channel and I truly appreciate your comment!
the fishing / cleaning content is pretty cool man. i watched it because i love the chanel, cant say ive ever watched a fishing video in my life. im probably the only boat builder that doesn't really fish. just glassed a new floor in my 18' a few hours ago. set the deck into wet glass while it was still daylight and figured id fully laminate / tab it in tomorrow morning...i diddnt check the weather and wouldn't you know its going to storm like crazy tonight. no choice but to setup lights and get to it. it honestly wasn't that bad, i thought it was going to be miserable trying to do it at night but it wasn't bad. i cant help it but to check on the cure like im baking a cake lol. every 30 min or so i hit it with the laser temp gun. i mixed at a little under 2% cat and a dash of styrene monomer, deck seems to be kicking nice and smooth, the roller got to about 130 ish degrees so i threw it in some water. i got about 4 hours till the rain, hopefully it gets thru the heat cycle before then.
Glad you enjoyed the fishing video! We hope to add a little of that kind of content to the channel every now and then. Yep, the weather can get you sometimes. Glad you got it sealed up before the rain came. Wish you the best with your project and thanks for watching!
Loving watching your videos!! I have a trip planned to dauphin island in october and i cant wait to visit Alabama and may even try to do some fishing while im there!
Awesome, glad you like the fishing content! Dauphin island in October should be very nice. Should be some redfish and flounder around that time of year. Let me know how you do with your fishing, and thanks for watching!
Great episode, we fish for Kings and Spanish a lot off the coast of North Carolina as well. The real question is that after his catch of the day is Mark going do a casting tutorial video for us? :)
Ahh, very cool! Kings are one of my very favorite fish to go after for sure.Lots of fun on light tackle. I wish I would have gotten his cast on video, it was actually pretty amazing! He threw that lure right on his cap. I was impressed!
I keep thinking I'll see the top on the boat..... I know you've got it done but probably planning the best way/place to mount up the piece? Doing it right takes expertise I don't possess so I'll be ready when you get ready, even if it's during the winter. be safe & peace
I am almost done with building the hardtop, but the aluminum pipework that supports it is going to be a different phase of the project. I am trying to decide if I want to build it in house, or have a aluminum fab shop do it. I got a couple price quotes and it was quite expensive, so we will see!
As I see the boat I know it'll take a lot of thought since it's gonna be for keeps, and the better you do it the more others will see something they really want in a boat. I hope it turns out like you want it & I'll be waiting to see. peace
Hi Joe I love your videos. Here in Australia we would call the spotted fish a Spotted Mackerel. If I could attach a photo to this message I could show you the 1.5 meter, 5 foot, Spanish mackerel I caught in June of the coast of north Queensland.
For awhile I thought Captain Joe was just really clean when building boats and never getting anything on his trademark blue Columbia shirt. NOW, I'm almost positive he just builds the boat the same day he goes fishing.
The ONLY way to do Spanish Mackerel is CEVICHE!!! I moved down to the Sea of Cortez from Phoenix a couple of months ago and I've been doing Spanish ceviche lately and it's on another planet! Hands down, quote me, the best fish for ceviche. I caught a decent one like the one in your video last week and made like 3lbs of ceviche in a stainless steel bowl and it lasted 3 days in the fridge and the last bite on day three was just as good as the first bite on day 1. Zero fish taste. You could have fed this to a picky eater and they would have loved it. The key with Spanish is to bleed immediately and then during cleaning and cutting you have to get every spec of red meat out of the fish before it goes into the bowl. Just like fiberglass and painting.... the key is in the PREP WORK. Can't wait for the progress videos on the T-Top. You're the man CAP!
Dang man, that sounds good! I think both Spanish and king mackerel are way underrated. Would you mind sharing your ceviche recipe with me? I sure would appreciate it!
Hey there! Been binge watching all your gelcoat repair videos. Had quick question, is better to mix 406 west systems with resin or gel coat, and if resin what kind? I'm doing a large keel repair on a 1971 Boston whaler Nauset. Thanks!
You can mix it with either for the most part. I really like working with vinyl Ester resins for repair work, and it's compatible with gelcoat. Fiberglass Warehouse offers a very good vinyl ester at a reasonable price. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@FishBumpTV huge help! This is my first boat project so just wanna make sure I do it right the first time. I'll start looking into that vinyl ester resin. Keep goin with the videos, they're super helpful!! 🤙
I'm not really a fisherman even though I have a boat, but I really enjoyed this video. 🙂 The section on how to process the fish was also very good. There appears to be duct tape on the engine cowlings. Is that for protection from fishing line? Just like all of your fiberglass work, you make everything you do look so easy. Looking forward to the next steps on the tower and T-top installation. Also, you mention that the 29 gets up on plane easily. What are your thoughts re trim tabs? I recently installed Bennett 12"x12" trim tabs on my Robalo to get the boat up on plane at lower speeds and am trying them out tomorrow for the first time. I don't like running down the river at 25mph but it seems that I need to be going that fast for the boat to plane. If I cruise along at any speed that won't get the boat on plane it feels like the engine has to do a lot of work. As a point of comparison, my boat with a VF200XB engine does 25mph at 3,000rpm and is on plane.
Glad you enjoyed the fishing video! The cowling got damaged while we were fighting a big fish and trimmed the motor up into the back seat. Not major, but I didn't want saltwater running down on the motor. I will probably do a video on that when I repair it. Trim tabs can be great, but some boats need then more than others for sure. Sounds like they will be a nice addition to your boat. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@FishBumpTV Thanks for the response re tabs (made a big difference to my boat) and explanation re the cowlings. I really enjoy and appreciate your boat building, boat repair and fishing expertise. It would be so interesting if you were to do an episode on how you designed the hull of your 29, your intentions, thought process etc. I know you have a lot going on but if you ever have time it would be fascinating I'm sure.
Nope, no plans to run outriggers, but I might in the future. The hardtop is narrow enough so that the rods will clear it on the outside. It's kind of a variation of what's called a key west style hardtop. It more of a serious fishing boat thing. It should work really good for us though. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Somebody trimmed the motors up to high while we were fighting a big fish and got into the rod holders. Just more good repair content for the channel I guess!
Are you a professional boat builder or did you just make this thing in your garage as a hobbyist? Looks professional as hell to me just wondering if something smaller and even decent at all is doable from a learning as you go person lol
Yep, I grew up in a boat shop. Our family has been building and repairing boats since the 60s. I think a quality built boat is completely doable for a DIYer. Of course everyone's abilities vary, and I would recommend starting with something much smaller and simpler than our 29. I do plan on building a skiff at some point here on the channel, that should be DIY friendly. So stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Stuff happens! One year on a charter boat is like 5 on any other. Luckily I know a guy that can fix that kind of thing! Not a big deal. Thanks for watching
Hay Joe i got a 84 holiday mansion im remodeling. Im having to fill holes and lay new glass on deck and cabin walls in a few spots. It will be months before im actually ready to paint the boat. Will raw glass and filler be ok in the weather for this long ?
I don't personally prefer to leave raw fiberglass exposed to the weather for that long. If it is possible to cover or tent it with a tarp or plastic to give it some protection that would be good. Then I would recommend sanding the surface with some 80 grit and a acetone wipedown prier to resuming work so as to help with the new materials bonding to the old. I hope this helps and I appreciate you watching!

I am addicted to your fiberglass and fairly new to your channel. I love the fishing. please do more!!
Haha, that's awesome!! Welcome to the channel, and thanks for watching!
My new favorite UA-cam channel!
Wow, thank you!!
I hope that his son knows how blessed he is to be doing that with his family. Most people will never know
You are the man Joe . Really enjoyed the fishing video and I love to boat building. Tell mark we all miss him and he needs to pop in on the videos every now and then

Hi captain Joe!
Just here feeding the algorithm so your channel grows!
All the best from California! 💛
Haha, I hear ya! It's much appreciated! Thanks for watching from sunny California.
If your ever in the gulf shores area I HIGHLY RECOMMEND fishing with this guy. You will not be disappointed
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation!
@FishBumpTV Your very welcome. To see your willingness to wait out the thunderstorm last Tuesday and then putting us on the fish like you all did was amazing and I will always be grateful for that. So thank you
Nothing like catching that sunrise out in the ocean. Nice catch, king is delicious. Thanks for the video.
You got that right! Glad I could share our morning with you all! Thanks for watching

Love the variety of the channel :)
Glad you enjoyed it! We will try to keep it interesting for for you all!
Teach a man to build a boat and he can get to the fish to feed himself and his family. 🙂
Haha, Amen! Thanks for watching!

Did you ever take King Mackerel cubes and wrap with bacon and grill? You answered my question!
Haha, yep! My son Logan made some last night, but all we had was turkey bacon. It was still awesome! Thanks for watching
For awhile I thought Captain Joe was just really clean when building boats and never getting anything on his trademark blue Columbia shirt. NOW, I'm almost positive he just builds the boat the same day he goes fishing.

How many blue Columbia shirts do you have? Also I like that you’re pushing the PPE no matter what you’re doing. Safety is no accident.
I gotta stack of them! Thanks for watching!

@@mcmxillc6138 Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to do something on that topic for you all.
Boy…. That boat sure could use a T-Top!
Yep, it just takes time and money! Thanks for watching
Super nice catches....Captain Joe I meant to ask. How wide is the 29 at the aft?
Thanks! She is 8.5 ft beam at the transom, and 9.5 right at the console.
are you going to run out riggers on the T top and are you going to move the vertical poles off the console to clear the T top
Nope, no plans to run outriggers, but I might in the future. The hardtop is narrow enough so that the rods will clear it on the outside. It's kind of a variation of what's called a key west style hardtop. It more of a serious fishing boat thing. It should work really good for us though. Thanks for watching!

Good advice, never ever put your finger in there. Trigger fish are excellent table fare reminds me of Lobster almost.
Very true! I love some fresh trigger! Some of the best eating fish out there. Thanks for watching
What happened to your engine cover? Things brand new!
