how to select your bait boat ?

Don’t we all love the peace of nature while angling for some great carps?
Next thing, I am sitting at a pool full of carps and I need to select a great spot for my swim.
In the best case you have been feeding the fish frequently over weeks at the same location, which could give you a pretty good chance of encountering quite some large carps at your sweet spot.
Most of the time we are talking about hard to reach places, which puts us for another challenge: get our rig and bait over to that presumed ideal fishing spot.
So we would like to be able to locate the fish and get our rig and bait to that spot with maximum accuracy and minimum risk.
We require an instrument to carry both bait and hook to the place full of fish.
Thanks to modern technology we have the perfect solution via a wireless controlled bait boat. If the rc bait boat is fitted with a fish discoverer, you can finally fulfil all the aspirations of a real carp or pike angler: find the ideal fishing spot and get yourself over to that perfect position with rig and bait to catch them fish.
If you start looking on line for radio controlled bait boats you will find a large variety of rc bait boats. Therefore we recommend that you make up your mind about your goal and your demands carefully.
Do you need the fish finder function on your bait boat?
Verify if your rc bait boat has a fish finder function, because you will need it sooner or later to find out where the fish are located.
Please verify if your selected bait boat offers the fish finder option. Two possibilities: it can be integrated in a later stage as an option, or the bait boat already has the finder function integrated as a standard. This fish finder option is most of the time not cheap so it can be quite interesting to know if you can integrate it later on in your rc baitboat.
What is your usual weight of bait for your swim?
An important characteristic of bait boats is their capacity expressed in kilogram(kg) or pounds(lbs) A too heavy loaded bait boat can get into trouble. So if you need quite some bait for your swim, you can consider paying quite a bit more for bait boat of higher capacity or accept multiple trips to your swim.
What is your desired maximum fishing range?
Loosing control over your bait boat is a risk related to your fishing range and the status of your battery. Always stay within the specified limits of range of your bait boat with a well charged battery. It is good practice to anticipate loss of radio control and even better to provide means to collect your bait boat via a row boat for example.
When do you fish?
If fishing at night is an option for you, the bait boat will need to be selected for. You will be in need of navigation lights and preferably a led indicating your bait has been dropped. The real big-ticket models even allow you to direct your bait boat to the desired place via GPS co-ordinates.
How much are you willing to spend?
There is a radio controlled bait boat for every budget starting from 100€ up to more than 1000€, but do pay attention to the accessories as they tend to be quite expensive.
Carp Tackle:Bait Boats
by helio on Jan.10, 2010, under Recreation and Sports, bait boats, radio controlled hobby
I was sat on the bank enjoying a days carp fishing. The weather was good, the water was calm and the bite count was quite productive.
The pond is located in a large private, well hidden area. There are generous coverings of lily pads and other greenery.
About 4 hours into the day, a chap had arrived on the opposite bank. After tackling up and before he cast for the first time, I saw him put what looked like a remote controlled boat.
My first thoughts were ‘How can he think of playing with a remote controlled boat when fishing?’ I was thinking how I could show my objections when he put this boat into the water. He steered it over the area he was about to fish. The boat was very quiet, much quieter than the standard remote controlled boat. It was at that point I realised he must be baiting the fishing area using this device.
I’ve never come across this technique before and was intrigued. I walked around to investigate and I was impressed. It was a bait boat. You stock 2 channels in the top with bait. When you’ve taken the boat to the area you intend to fish, you simply open 2 flaps on the boat which releases the bait into the water.
Simple and marvellous idea. I am thinking of adding this to my collection of carp tackle.
