Greencoachdog Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I posted that vid here a couple weeks ago. Down here in 'Bama I think it would be considered more like jug fishin', which would make it legal for non-gamefish like Catfish, Carp, and Gar... but not for gamefish. You could have a fleet of them if you wanted. They are trying to outlaw them in some states, because they're using them in the Tailrace waters of some dams that don't allow boats with people in them to take their lines way out further than one could cast. They want to outlaw them because they're very effective and some people are taking the big spawners with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Another way of getting to the area that you want to get to is by using a kite. This is good in fresh water in Ontario but is it very good on the beach when you surf fish. In surf fishing, usually the most important thing is to be able to cast to maximum distance. carp-starter Another way of getting to the area that you want to get to is by using a sling shot...place your lure on the band, pull back and let go....oh ya..forgot to mention..don't hang on to the treble hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 legal or not, it sure looked like they were having a blast LOL. Now those are the kind of kids that don't have to worry about drugs to get high! if I was a CO and saw them doing that I'd probably congratulate them for thinking something like that up then look the other way in a big hurry! (well, I might kind of keep watching for a bit.... There is nothing nicer than seeing kids use their brains to have some good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishHeadRic Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I found something like this on the net from Australia. It would drag your lure out into the surf until a fish would bite it but then the lure would release from a clip and then leave you to battle it with a rod. Great idea but I'm sure any of the surf guys down here on LI would really frown upon the practice. FHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbog Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Pretty cool, looked like the fish was going to take the boat under - gotta work the gearing just right to maximize the drama. Like others have said - the kids could be doing worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelin_ca Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 if you tied a line to the bow of the boat, then it would be like using a float... a self propelled float....hmm ideas forming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
