Default Baitboats now have GPS sat-nav

without wishing to open old wounds......

this may or may not do what it says on the tin, and not intending to upset
anyone, I ask, what is the point?
Sure a boat may get your hook and baits to the 'theoretical correct place',
but why bother?
Angling is about learning the skill, and developing the expertise, to track,
cast to, play, and land, a fish. Half the fun is in the chase, even if it
takes countless blank weekends to achieve. And the other half of the fun is
blanking, examining where you may have gone wrong, and knowing you have to
set your sights, and skill level, higher next time.
Anyone with a few brain cells can direct an electronic bait boat to the
right place, but only a real angler can fish it!
Using a bait bait - even if it "catches" you a world beater - must feel like
mast**bating with a blow up dolly.
A short term jolly by reaching the goal, but never feeling like the real
thing.

Three blondes were taking a walk in the country when they came upon a line
of tracks. The first blonde said, "Those must be deer tracks!" The second
blonde said, "No, stupid, anyone can tell those are rabbit tracks!" The
third blondie said, "No, you idiots, those are horse tracks!" They where
still arguing ten minutes later when a train hit them.
