Id think it would be. I seen some guys busted at the wildlife are in mosquito long time back. But they were actually using the boats to fish the area you're not allowed to fish.

 

Somebody has been watching top hooker lol

Actually I did see "Top Hooker" the other night BUT I just want to take the bait out and drop it .... NOT FISH WITH THE BOAT .... That show is kind of entertaining but stupid!!

 

It's legal. There are boats made specifically for this.

You saw it on "Top Hooker"? I saw it on "Off The Hook Extreme Catches", The company that was on "Off The Hook" is Fish Fun Co.
They have "The Rc Fishing Pole" for taking your line out, it releases wherever you want. The advantage is the boat can take your line out 300-400 feet and release it, bait and all. You can also drive your line attached to the boats, and when a fish hits you drive the fish to shore with the boat, (for small fish). The website is Rc Fishing World:F

 

There's several u-tube video's out there, one with the radio controlled boat taking the bait out to some bridge pillars, a servo releases the line and as the boat turns to return, a big tarpon fish comes up and eats the boat!

 

I have a bunch of rc stuff maybe I could trade a plane or a truck or my car for a boat. This is a great idea. It wild be cool trotlining but I dont think it could support the weight you would need on the other end

and the problem with that Is, what if you get something not "small"? like say, a 5 pound carp, or bass?

 

Not a new concept.This tactic has been used in the European carp
fishing scene for a few decades now,with all sorts of RC craft used
to place bait and rigs.Do a search for 'Bait boat'.These sort of boats
have a very limited use in the USA,mainly because fishing at extreme
range (we'll say 130yds+) is impractical on most waters due to the
boat traffic and other obstructions.However,they excel for placing
bait/rigs in tight places such as under trees or other places you
couldn't cast to safely.In Europe,quite a lot of the carp fishing,for
BIG carp,is done by placing baits by boat (rc or conventional)
100 yds out from the bank in the big reservoirs.When a fish is
hooked,the angler then gets in a boat to play and land the fish.
Since our waters don't have designated boat free zones,this
sort of angling at extreme range becomes very problematic.

The one I mentioned, ( The Rc Fishing Pole ), has two features: For big fish like Carp.....it has a line release to take your line out from your fishing pole instead of casting you drive the line-bait out and you release it from the boat. I talked to a guy that puts a live bluegill on drives it out 150 feet and releases it.
For small fish, you attach your line, use a small hook for bluegill and small bass, etc.:F

do that, get caught and go to jail.. its a game refuge.. NO trespassing PERIOD... by remote or foot..

to the op, why not just put on some waders or just wade out (the water is very warm) and cast? right now at mosquito there are several fishable points where you can wade out a long ways, cast, leave the bail open and walk back to the shore. im sure theres many other lakes in the area too.

I guess you didn't read my question .... what do you do when the water temp. is 40 degrees in April or when you want to get your lines out a 100 yards in 6 or 8 foot of water?????????? wading out is just plain STUPID!!!

 

I read an article many years ago where people on pontoons were using remote controlled boats for catfishing. They couldn't get their ponttoon up close to some shallow flats where the huge cats were,and couldn't cast far enough. They had a release on their rc boat,run it out into that shallow flat,then yank the line off and rig was set.

 

There nis a gentleman on one of the shark sites that has a remote control kyak the make 400 yard plus drops in the surf

 

This one of the stupidest and unsportsmanship ideas I've ever heard in my life.

Wow.. Care to explain why you feel that way? Just curious.
He's just dropping off a bait somewhere offshore. Not all have boats to fish out of.
I don't think it's any more unsportsmanlike than using sonar. It another tool.

Yeah, well there are good tools and there bad tools. I use a rod & reel - that's fishing. This isn't. Maybe I could let my Lab swim around with a net......

I see you're easily confused huh?..he is using a rod and reel...just wanting to try a different tactic to get the bait out further from shore...he's not fishing with the rc boat...lol...I don't think you're understanding what he wants to do...some people...now that I see your screen name I completely understand.

I understand what he's trying to do. I just don't agree with that method and I don't make it personal like you did.

 

jim, seriously? there are better things to go about. find them.

 

I posted some videos of people doing this a few months ago.. Not much response. lol. CarpCatman, you did it right! I don't see a problem with it. Guys are using helicopters as well LOL. Go out and have fun. Don't try to fish illegal areas and who cares how you do it as long as it's legal. If you can rig up a RC boat to catch a fish or assist in catching a fish, more power to you.

 

Better yet Jim, Tell us how you would get your lines out if you were fishing for 50lb Flatheads. Remember you can't cast a bait that weighs 10 or 12 ounces .... we sometimes use 10" suckers or 8" bluegills for bait. Sometimes we fish in April, the water temp. is 45 degrees so you can't wade out. ???????????????? So if you're fishing from shore the ONLY OPTION IS: take your bait out in a boat

Wellllll, You can cast a big bait, you just need a big rod. Guys do it surf fishing all the time.

 

Hi Jimthepolack, I'm the original poster of this question. I'd like to hear your opinion on "Bowfishing", "Trot lines", "Wading", and "fishing from a boat". I'm guessing your very young (under 18) ... I know catfishermen have been taking there lines out in row boats for over a 100 years. My dad and uncles did it in the 50's and 60's .......... please explain your reasoning!! I personal have a big problem with Jug fishing, Bowfishing, and Trot lines .... I don't consider them a sport at all ... just my opinion!! Thanks
