Bait Launcher Shore Shot sends your bait up to 300 yards from the shore (http://www.faroutfishin.com/index.cfm/u/shore-shot-bait-caster)

I have seen the videos, would love to see one in person. Just one more thing I don't really need but would like to have for the hell of it!

They even make one for a boat.Blue Water Boat Blaster (http://www.faroutfishin.com/index.cfm/u/blue-water-boat-blaster/img/4)
I can think of all kinds of other uses for this:devil2:

Good old fashioned spud gun would be more versatile. :)

At one point, probably 10 years ago now, I saw something like that used in Hatteras. For awhile back then, I thought when people talked about a Breakaway cannon, it was one of those.

Rigs like that were popular in the Great Lakes. They would use it with trot lines and multiple hooks.

If it could get out 200 yards or so, that'd be perfect for the Race. Except some rent-a-cop ranger would probably arrest you on weapons charges.

Geez, can't believe that guy is still in business.
Nice young guy from Pa. and saw him use it 6-7 yrs ago.
Think i posted some pics here?
It works awesome but you need to freeze the bait so it doesn't
fall apart and then wait for it to thaw after it's launched.
Great in November when the fish are breaking way out beyond the bars.
$800, I think the price was about $600 then.

LOL. Ya, you could even pick off a few touists at the Herring Run
parking lot too. :D

I see he has a testimonial on his site by a guy from Australia.
I could see Stax and some of his buddies using it to fish off
those cliffs. :)
Man, I miss not having those guys post here in awhile. :(
Great guys.

think of the possibilities, i mean never again will a boat come in where the fish are near shore, pyramid sinkers would be down right lethal, flying out of that thing.

why not make something like a shotgun,a low velocity round attached to the rod
