Inspired by the remote-control bobbler
(see link).
Fishing and radio-controlled model
boating are both sad occupations. Neither
contains enough excitement or challenge.
Worse yet, I suspect that model boats are
the bane of fisherman, and vice versa.
But no more! Disputes between anglers
and bobble-hatted model boat enthusiasts
begone!!
Simply equip your scale replica of the
Titanic or the Beagle with appropriately-
sized fisherman standing on deck, their
rods held out over the sides. Extra
channels on the remote control allow each
fisherman to lower or reel in his line.
I could go on, but I'm sure I don't need to.
You get the idea. Imagine the model-
sized joy of landing a four-inch-long
great white shark, or the thrill of the chase
as you pursue a trout the size of a
battleship!

Need force feedback, delicate force feedback. Tough to do. |

I built a simple version of this once (only tried it once, to no avail). Not as fancy as a model fisherman, just a stick with a line attached taped to the back of my RC boat. |

If you're looking at hooking small fish, I imagine they would all be scared off bu the whine of the RC's motor. And if you're looking at hooking big fish, the RC couldn't reel them in. |

Too late. This idea is already on the market. some enterprizing model boaters have set up shop building "Line Placers" ...little R/C boats that are modeled after the owner's full sized boat. Some states already have fishing regulations limiting the use of these R/C line casters. |

Also, (as an interesting aside) when I was in the Mosquito Abatement Program in new Mexico, we used R/C boats to gather water samples and to distribute larvacide in stagnant bodies of water. |
