RC 'Feed Boat' Does Everything But Clean and Cook Your Fish

by Warren Riddle on August 4, 2009 at 09:05 AM


Old timers love waxing nostalgic about lengthy solitary fishing trips and the respect and admiration fostered for their elusive underwater brethren during those expeditions. Armed only with wits and patience as accessories, fishing purists relished those dramatic one-on-one battles of man versus nature. But, for some modern anglers (thanks to technology), nature just doesn't stand a chance anymore.

According to Like Cool, the Radio-Controlled Feed Boat boasts an operating range of 1,000 feet, sonar to locate schools of fish, in-hull propellers (so they don't get tangled in reeds), a thermometer, a depth finder, a light for night fishing, and a tilting platform that dumps bait directly above the lurking prey. It can even deploy a baited hook right into the school for those who want to do as little as possible, freeing up much more time for the most important aspect of fishing -- drinking beer. Now, if the boat could only launch dynamite or grenades into the water and then cast a net to haul in the resulting carnage, fishing would finally require no work, patience, or sportsmanship at all.
