Biggest problem in the canal would be the current...not sure little RC boats would survive it when it's going full speed :-)
If you have real RC gear, an extra servo would work fine.

at the race we would use balloons when there was a off shore wind:

Sounds like you might want to look to the boys who live below the mason Dixon line for a contraption of this magnitude.

Would be great if you could get a jig out to the deep holes in the middle of the ditch though.

I'll kayak it out as far as you want.Just name the time and place.

It would be sweet to finally be able to get my eel out to jigging distance to drift it right down the middle of the chute.
Any advice???

Good thoughts. I do a lot of early spring fishing in the ice out Lake Ontario fishery. People have asked me if I ever tried downrigging or side planering in our fishery here. I have; and it fails miserably. And I can give you a one word answer about why this is so: weeds.
