Remote control fishing
Encyclopedia
Remote control fishing is accomplished by using a remote control
boat. The remote control boat is usually of the battery operated type, but as long as a fishing line
can be attached to the remote control boat, any remote control boat can be used.
Two methods are usually employed. One being a section of fishing line and baited hook attached to a remote control boat. In the modern age it began with some kids tying fishing line to a remote control toy boat, and catching a fish with it. The limitations of the first method of tying a line directly to a r/c boat is if a big fish is hooked there is a risk of the fish pulling the remote control boat underwater.
The other method allows the fisherman to catch any size fish. It is done by attaching a line release to the r/c boat, and then attaching the line/hook and,(instead of casting
) drive the line out with the r/c boat. When a fish strikes, the line disconnects, and the fisherman reels
in the fish with a regular fishing pole.
Fishermen have experimented with the concept and use different homemade designs. Recent patents, and products now make remote control fishing boats available to the public.
