Is a bait boat worth it?
by
For many the job they do isn’t worth that money, which is fine. Bait boats are definitely considered a “luxury” for your angling but, love ’em or hate ’em, they are here and here to stay. A number of carp fisheries do not allow them to be used but an equal number now do.
Bait boats are small remote-controlled boats that carry your particles, as well as your end tackle and hookbait to a specific point on a carp venue. Their destination is usually an either hard to approach or a very distant fishing spot, which hence can be reached from land, thanks to this device.

Well its simple really a GPS BAIT BOAT will deliver your bait to the exact same location set by you time after time and is perfect for hitting your designated spots time after time ensuring your bait and hook are in the same spot you have been baiting over your session.
Bait Boat with GPS function allows you to work very accurately. Without GPS, carp anglers would never be able to find the perfect spots. Capacity is another reason for bait boat fishing.

Can I use a fish finder from shore?
Can you use a fish finder from shore? Traditional boat-mounted fish finders will not work from shore, but specific portable fish finders with castable transducers are great options for shore fishing.
No, you can’t use a fish finder out of water, because the transducer is unable to send or receive sonar signals in air. In other words, the transducer will not work outside of water, and needs to be properly submerged into water in order to function.

Our top Outer Banks surf fishing tips to catch big fish:
Use a longer rod (10 foot – 12 foot) to cast longer into the surf. The fresher the bait, the better the success rate. It takes time to see results – but don’t be afraid to move. Vary your fishing with the tides – try low tide and high tide for best results.

Down imaging fish finders send sonar down vertical from the boat, and side imaging sends sonar horizontally away from the boat.
