Baitboats:-
a means of presenting a rig/bait to an area previously out of bounds to all anglers fishing the traditional way,or another interpretation,a means of fishing for otherwise totally crap anglers unable to catch by the more traditional methods.
Bait boats should be banned nationally on all waters, if you want a boat to play with then go and join your local model boat club.

Here we go again, same old chesnut, same old arguments.  the fact of the matter is, people have used boats for fishing, for as long as there have been boats,which is probably longer than they have used rods! as tecnology changes so do the methods used to catch fish, the hair rig, bite alarms, bait runners, bed chairs, bivvys etc. of course we could all live in the past with none of the new? technology but who really wants that? so live and let live. life is to short for all the bickering. Spring will be here soon, the carps will be on the munch, just get out there and enjoy what you do, and don't worry about what others are doing. That is why they call it fishing, if you caught all the time it would be called catching

Common sense and discretion go a long way. Unfortunately many of the lads I see fishing left that quality in the garage. If you can cast their then by all means use a boat. You can spod it (Noisey), yes I know some fish are attracted to it,but not at my local, but if bait boats were £5 each, every tom, dick and harry would have one. Well maybe!

If the bait boat isn't going in your swim I don't see why it would bother you.As for taking the bait 300 yds to the safe area, after time this area won't be safe no more.

I dont really have a problem with bait boats as long as they used safely, sensibly and dont annoy others fishing. Theres a mere Ive fished in Cheshire which has basically turned into a boat water in the last 12 months ,nothing has been caught from a casted lead since October, things will change again and they come out closer in again, but until then, what do you do? - when in rome!!! I heard also someone is hiring boats out on this place £3 a day - nice little earner if you ask me!! cheers STEZ

"why is it many of the names profess to using them or row boats".
Quite obvious I would have thought,once you've reached a certain level in any sport it becomes very hard to maintain that level of performance/catch rate.So a remote controlled boat can obviously enhance those falling catch rates,imagine the effect of a boat in the hands of a good angler,quite unbeleivable really.Like its been said before,you dont have to go stupid distances,just put the baits in the right positions with a little sprinkling of bait and "hey presto".Using boats gives mega advantages at baiting up tight,something that even the best spodders would find difficult.

Same old arguments!
I've had one for a year and I use it sensibly, mainly to bait up with particles. I seldom use it when actually fishing and never compromise either the safety of the fish or the enjoyment of other anglers.
I really couldn't give a toss if others approve or not - it's my choice.
There are too many people in this world trying to impose their views on others - do we have to put up with it in fishing as well?
In my opinion if you use bite alarms, baitrunners, etc, etc and slag off bait boats it's a bit like the kettle calling the pan black.
Give it a rest.

i use a bait boat but only when iam fishing out off my casting, spoding range and with in reason, the no1 prioraty is never puting the carp in any danger,i normally fish alone so its realy differcalt rowing 3-4 rods out at a time,the bait boat makes presintation at range so much easyer,another good use for the bait boat is feature finding you can easly miss little features just plumbing around so i feel it gives me that extra edge needed. would richard walker or any of the other ground breaking carp fisherman have used them
if they had them avalible,i think so. you have to move with the times or youll get left behind.

I agree with Carpmanchris, I have trouble seeing mine at 100 yards - and I'm not joking!

are taking bait and their rigs 300 yards to the safe area giving the fish no reason to visit the near bank were normal anglers can fish for them.
