Bait Boats are a bit like Marmite, in that carp anglers either love
them or hate them! Whichever side of the fence you fall on, you have to agree
that they can be an extremely valuable tool for dropping hookbaits and free
offerings to positions where it would be extremely tricky to cast a baited rig
to.
A bait boat is basically a heavy duty remote controlled boat which can be
used to ship out a payload of freebait and a baited rig; in many cases it can
also double up as a fish and feature finder too. There are many models to choose
from, with the smaller models having a payload capacity of approximately a kilo
from a single centrally mounted hopper, right up to the QE2 type boats, many of
which can carry over six kilos in one trip stored in duel hoppers!
Look out for those powered by jet pumps as they can be less susceptible to
tangles in weed and debris, and check out how easy it is to change and replace
batteries, and also see what kind of extras package they come with as there are
all sorts of carry bags, solar battery chargers and fish finders that can be
purchased all as one bundle.
The cheaper models are obviously more lightweight and are built simply to get a
bit of bait and the hookbait out to a spot, whereas the larger models may also
have recesses built in which are designed to house a fish finder unit – some of
the more expensive models may actually come with a fish finder already
incorporated, so again, it’s about looking at what would suit your type of
fishing the best.
Give a thought to the type of waters you are likely to be fishing too. Generally
speaking, the bigger the boat the more powerful the engines, which will
obviously come into their own on big windswept waters where you need good power
and manoeuvrability to get to your chosen spot and back again. A small boat with
a full load might struggle to cope with wind on a big open water which will make
it difficult to get to the spot, and worse you could end up loosing it
altogether if conditions take a turn for the worse!
Pay attention to the construction materials, too. You want something that’s
going to be lightweight yet durable and built to last, boats constructed from
acrylic capped ABS will last well and will also look the part too!
Whichever type you go for, just be considerate to other anglers when using one!
