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.
