:lol: :lol: . couldn't resist, scooter. i don't use a retrieve boat on smaller ponds, just a fishing rod. anything for weight to cast, & a small cup hook or even a servo (washer head) screw sticking up just far enough for the line to catch on. up on the bow seems to work the best for me. pretty sure it would work with your idea, also.
If you were going to be at the club race this weekend, you could give one a try, but since you've got more important things to do...
Hoping to catch a fish or turtle during your heat? :lol:with a tunnel, you learn to put hooks on top & BOTTOM
The method that works best is to use the reef racer to take the line out to the dead boat and then circle it, shut off and reel both back in to shore.
Thats what I have in mind Phil. If you say it works, It Works!!
using a fishing rod (when pond size allows), i can raise the rod tip & guide the line over my hook. usually use a lure, have caught fish, while trying to catch my boat
. just not good, when the boat is hooked, and the fish wants the lure - yeah, that's happened too :lol: . and the pond owner was worried that the boats would bother the fish. i'm glad he saw it, now he wants to fish while we run, swears it makes the fish more active :huh: ..........
My friends in StLouis use a reel with the fine spyder wire and can go way out to get a boat back.Thats what I have in mind Phil. If you say it works, It Works!!
As weird as it sounds Robin, I have had the exact same thing happen at the test pond I use. After a couple of 10-12 lap runs, the pond comes alive. I can only figure we are chumming the small stuff - esp with A/B'S new props-LOL. I use a spinning rig with a Zara Spook, normally just grabs the hardware or antenna pending on boat. Oh yeah, every now and again a fish B)using a fishing rod (when pond size allows), i can raise the rod tip & guide the line over my hook. usually use a lure, have caught fish, while trying to catch my boat
I've noticed this same phenomenon while dock fishing for catfish half drunk and asleep on the dock with a bell on my rod tip to wake me up. Everytime a boat would comc up or down the river, the bell would start ringing like crazy. Whether I came to and reeled it in is another story!!As weird as it sounds Robin, I have had the exact same thing happen at the test pond I use.
