A logical extension of the beachcaster method, for use on smallish ponds?

- Person A and person B each has a rod and they connect their two lines, with a dropper of several feet of line with a hook baited with a resilient floating bait, e.g. a mixer or floating boilie.

- Person B walks around the pond, feeding out line, until he/she is opposite person A (If there are trees that prevent this, one person will have to lob a lead across the pond to the opposite bank to allow them to connect their lines). Both people raise their rods as in the beachcaster method and tighten up, giving and taking line until the bait is positioned where they want it, e.g. in the path of cruising fish (note that this method allows the bait to be moved to intercept fish as they cruise around on different paths), or tight to island margins, island overhanging vegetation, or weed beds.

- When a fish takes, one person plays the fish as normal and the other keeps a loosely tight line (to prevent the fish becoming tangled in the extra line). An alternative would be to have a very weak link at the connection end of one line that would easily break when playing a fish.

Note that this is not a method I would use (it's not fishing, is it, but catch by any means), but has anyone tried this or seen it used?

sounds to much like hard work, what a pain the butt walk around the lake??? id like to see someone try it on somewhere size of wingham, they would be gone for days

How would you get passed trees etc?

Did'nt we have an eastern european(who was living there)say that him and his mate used to do this, last year or the year before?
