Abstract
This vessel is a remote controlled pontoon-style boat. The port and starboard pontoons make up the bait holding bays with servo-actuated extraction doors located on the stern of each pontoon. This vessel is used in conjunction with normal fishing gear i.e., rod, reel, bait, and/or, lures. The extraction door is opened and the bait is inserted into the bait bay. The door is then closed and the vessel is set afloat and sent underway. When the vessel has reached your optimum fishing spot, the extraction door is opened via remote control and the bait is set loose. Fishing is then carried out in the normal way. The advantage of this bait delivery vessel is that its only limitation is the amount of line your reel will hold. The bait delivery vessel can deliver your bait with far greater accuracy and distance than normal bait casting and without the high price of a full-sized fishing boat.
