    Default Pontoon project...continued II.


    Here it is. Will try it out maybe this weekend. I will be fishing off the back of the boat. Pulling baits. Jeff White ought be proud of me..haha What a job it was to remount all this stuff to fish off the fantail.

    I think BnM and Humminbird ought give me some sponsorship. I do a lot of advertising for them. Lots of hits on my web page about this rig.

    This thing is fun to play with. I am gonna catch a fish with it sooner or later. I am just a kid with a beer gut and wrinkled skin. ha

    The pole is a tip section of a BnM 10ft (102J). I slid it over the Bugs Bunny pole so I would have more pole length. The tip is off one of my good poles. Oh No!

    That is awesome! Is that green thing on the front a fishfinder? I hope that pole has lots of flex in it so those big slabs don't tip it over!

    Tom your are an amazing man. I'm just glad you use that mind for good instead of evil or someone could get hurt.

    By the way no toon is complete without a grill and vienna sausages for a day of fishing.

    That's pretty cool. Gives new meaning to shore fishing. Would love to see that thing is action. Just don't get your jig snagged up on some brush!

    A big "thumbs up" :D The ultimate planer board.

    Now to make a whole "school" of the little boogers, have them talk
    to each other and converge when one gets into a wad of fish
    then come back to the mother ship to unload and head back into the
    fight... :D

    This thing can lift a 2 pound brick out of the water without tipping. This was done from the bow. Now that I have a stern mount, It will probably sink some with a 1 pound weight. The electronics are water tight thanks to tupperware. I plan to catch them like Jeff White. ( Hook 'em hard, then toe them at WOT till the fish surface and plain out). This kinda stuns the fish and makes getting the fish off the hook easy. All trollers know this..haha..

    That scheme would work Jeff. Fleet of smart planers.

    They working on something like that now in AREA 51. Smart bombs (miniature Predators). Can you imagine, a bunch of smart bombs flying around trying to figure out who they wants to kill. Ain't technology amazing.
