One of our members (Cane Pole) at Crappie.com was challenged to make a robot boat that would go out, catch a fish, and return. Well, he has done it and a fantastic job too. You have got to see this thing to believe it. Just do an advanced search on "Cane Pole" and look at anything mentioning the boat.

Surely you jest?

Nope, this is for real!

now bill where is the fun in that.

I guess its just the challenge of it all. He is an electronics teacher and has made it a class project. I think it is suppose to make its grand appearance at the ****ur tournament coming up.

Is there a reason my reference to this tournament was bleeped out? 2nd Annual David Summers Memorial ****ur Jigs Crappie Tournament

If I committed a No No, I'd like to know about it. I would never purposely offend anyone.

Fishing with radio controled boat has been done on Smith Mountain lake for awhile especially around the danm area.

I don't think they used anythink quite like this.
